BACKGROUND.
- Architect (2012) and Designer with an emphasis in product design (2013) of Los Andes University (Bogotá/Colombia)
- Currently making Master in Media Architecture in Bauhaus University (Weimar/Germany)
PERSONAL REASONS TO ATTENDING THE COURSE
As an architect and a product designer, the scale with I interact in my everyday life is a macro scale, that is based in KM for urbanistic projects, M for building, CM and MM for product design. The scale of the microbiology world is something that I have always find fascinating, but sadly since the school, I haven't had the opportunity to interact with it. This course offers me the opportunity to reconnect with this world, to learn from it, experiment and the opportunity to see it through different lenses. I hope that at the end of this course I will be able to understand what experimental microbiology is and see if this subject has a connection to my previous knowledge.
