Hi, I am Andrea Arias.
This is @adevariasblog, and where I explore and share my research, observations and musing within my field. I am currently pursuing a Masters of Architecture at the University of Colorado, Denver Campus while I also work full time at a local small firm. While working here I have been able to participate in client interactions, design phase, draft permit sets and construction sets, interior design, and construction administration. I have direct experience with Townhomes, Apartment, Multi-Family Developments, Duplexes, Single-Family Residence, Custom Residential, Adaptive Reuse, Office Conservativos, Coffee Shop Design and Hospitality Projects in Mountainous Areas.
Through this blog I wish to generate a digital catalog of both my academic and professional work and my observations of them with time stamp. If you wish to engage in conversation I highly encourage it! Do not hesitate in commenting or sending direct messages through the Contact Me Portal.
