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.

3rd General Meeting: Sweet Legacy





Although our turn-out in members was pretty low, the short conversation about Critical Regionalism based on the works of Luis Barragan generated thought and sparked creativity. Students' interpretations of the architecture in nexus to the landscape and people were all surprisingly different. Gerardo focused on the use of water in his candy garden, and Jessica emphasized the atmosphere of reflection created by the gardens. Overall, it was fun to get our hands dirty with our models--even if they were just made out of frosting and candy.
