casa: chicano/latino architecture student association
forum-discussion, informal independent research ucb college of environmental design president 10-11, secretary 09-11 as the co-leader of CASA at uc berkeley, I was concerned about the relationship between cultural situatedness and our roles as designers. I directly conducted bi-monthly forums with our faculty and local design leaders for this 20-person student group. in this independent project, my goal was to collect research focused on design for Latino communities. |
I wrote a series of blog entries (casa-berkeley.blogspot.com) mainly to record the different presentations. the lectures/forums described architecture less about style or regional type, but rather as a solution that ameliorates and helps create cultural needs.
