One participant, Carolina Larrahona, spent 18 months in Los Angeles, and her journey perfectly illustrates how this program combines hands-on professional experience, personal growth, and life-changing opportunities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For her, the program in Los Angeles was life-changing. Over 18 months, she worked on large-scale projects<\/strong>, particularly in data centers<\/strong>, where architecture intersects with infrastructure and technology. These experiences pushed her to grow technically, conceptually, and creatively<\/strong>, while exploring multiple areas of architecture such as sustainability, BIM, digital infrastructure, and healthcare design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The program also helped Carolina define her future goals, including obtaining her U.S. architecture license and preparing for the LEED Green Associate accreditation<\/strong>. Beyond professional growth, she emphasizes the relationships she built: \u201cOver the last 18 months, I\u2019ve created friendships that feel like family. My colleagues and mentors supported me every step of the way, reminding me of the power of community in this profession.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
