My name is Valeria Moraga. I am graduate with a Bachelors in architecture from the University of Arizona College of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture. I am originally from Antofagasta, Chile and I have lived in the states since 2005. My passion for architecture began as soon as I realized how much of an impact architecture has on everyone's every day life. My goal is to positively affect as many people with my work.
Architecture involves many aspects of life and a couple of concepts that I intent to have careful care for in designs are; site, program, detail, research, impact, and the environment. In the future I am very interested in the urban fabric of architecture and how it can affect masses of people. The urban fabric has a lot of potential especially in third world countries where a lot of work can be done and millions of people can be impacted.
I expect to further my studies in architecture and to continue learning from it as life furthers on. It has a lot more to offer me as a designer, student and person. Hope you have enjoyed my site and work.
