Today I celebrate one month in New York<\/strong>. In the studio where I am, they trusted me from the first moment and immersed me in a complexity of projects typical of this city. From serving clients in a language that is not yours, participating in conversations with contractors and their agreements, as well as being part of the design team of important projects<\/strong> whose main typologies are artistic, residential and fairs. Although I’m only going for a short time, I already have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe magnitude of new knowledge I will acquire, and that makes me want to make the most of each day. I like that they trust in my autonomy and periodic review of my activities. The environment is stress-free and very understandable. It is definitely an experience that I recommend. In this city, projects are pouring in and the amount of investment in construction is enormous. The cadence of projects that the office has is admirable, and makes me feel that I am in good hands for my professional development.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also have to mention all the opportunities and experiences I am having. I am making international friends and each one has a powerful line of interest that makes you admire them, and I manage to learn a lot from them. This intercultural experience only feeds my skills and abilities: I am learning Russian and Portuguese!, I understand the realities of other regions of the world much better, and I want to learn everything about their culture. Although many of them return to their country, the opportunity to do this exchange exercise is once in a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

And this city is precisely suited for this: New York is the center of the world, for tourists, for economies and for the search for opportunities. I had the opportunity to explore the city, understand its complex but effective transportation line and the well-known New York subway<\/strong>. At first this city is scary because of the amount of movement, but little by little you understand the reason for being and you become a local.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although this change is not easy, as it is accompanied by some downfalls due to missing your family, they support me unconditionally from a distance. There is the promise of meeting again but this time as an architect with qualities to face any challenge. Little by little I feel that they are trusting in my way of designing and my responsibility. In the next blogs I will tell you how it goes. For now, it feels like the best experience of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n
