INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT LUCZEIDA:

·        Have you been involved in any community projects? Yes, I worked as a pro-bono designer remodeling interior spaces of a historic building to accommodate a non-profit school organization. Also, I traveled to Ecuador and Perú to participate in the “Taller Social Latinoamericano” a social workshop for Latin American architecture students which intends to explore the social component and impact of architecture in different communities around Latin America.
