mi casa es tu casa

CASA provides student outreach/support in the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley and professional networking with alumni pre-and-post- graduation. Our conversations generate awareness about past and current issues in architecture/planning/sustainability/design+art that affect our communities. Learning from the past and present will allow us to record the novelty of Latino Architecture.

spring retreat: let's find the lake at 12am in the rain.












It was a perfect night of bonding, except it rained...a lot.

Our camp site was on the edge of a slope, sitting on dirt. By default wet dirt becomes mud, and mud slides--so our tents slid throughout the whole night. Half of us went to sleep inside the cars, but others slept wet outdoors.

Other than that, burgers, hotdogs, and smores were the evening's delicacies. We played card games and other truth-or-dare types. After, we went for a hike at midnight as it sprinkled for a bit. Finally, after a long walk, we found the lake. We found Lake Chabot to gather around the deck and enjoy the darkness of the wilderness-- away from Berkeley, and away from studio !
