VALENTINE RUIZ
I am a multicultural student with a Bachelor’s Degree in “Architecture”. At work and in life I am rigorous, organised, resilient, innovative, results-oriented and passionate, with a keen eye for meticulous details. Through my work and my personal values, it is my foremost objective to address climate, landscape and cultural/art context in the architectural interventions as I believe about their potential to produce an impact in the future built environment.
