Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) Thesis work on Denise Scott Brown’s Campus Master Plans
(In progress)
The work I present to your review has been produced without giving up our basic ideals. From the very beginning, and even
against the main strand, we (my husband is also architect, assistant professor and my partner) thought our academic work should be centred on the students education, our professional
one should be supported by competence, solidarity and dignity, our ethic compromise should rely in positive action and even
more, we wanted to take care of our family unit. And we manage to simultaneously tackle all these work spheres during these
years.
Though it has not been planned, this personal position has shown us clear ways to drive our activity. And now, when
looking back, I guess this is our strongest value: We are involved in a different way of looking at architecture,
urban design and academics. Nowadays, this interaction is called gender approach to urbanism and architecture, topic we are totally interested in. And according to the same thinking
line, we also are interested in photograph as a tool for analysing and writing (and reading) as a way to understand,
among other things.
From this point of view, we understand our time as a whole where work –paid and not paid- plays an important role since
unexpected crosscuts are produced in all directions, enriching our professional approach. We call it work timeline.
In this summary, I am going to highlight some aspects of our
work but we would appreciate you to watch them regarding to the whole context.
