Hi everyone!
I’m Javi, a 5th year student in &Architecture Atelier. I love early concept design work, and I have an interest in user-centred design— understanding how people experience and move through spaces is something that really drives my approach to architecture. As I completed my undergraduate here at MSA too, I have participated in MSA Live previously, and I am very excited to be back and be working on a heritage project. I’m especially keen to work collaboratively, learn from everyone’s perspectives, and contribute to a project that feels both sensitive and forward-thinking. I can’t wait to get started and see what we create together!

Session 1: First Impressions & Fresh Energy

Today was all about new beginnings. We met for the first time, sharing our backgrounds and experiences in architecture, and quickly discovered how our different perspectives could shape something exciting.

We jumped straight into the project—brainstorming poster ideas and outlining deliverables before meeting our client for the first time. The session was inspiring and productive; we discussed his vision, shared our interpretation of the brief, and aligned on next steps.

A strong start, fresh ideas, and lots of momentum—exciting things ahead!
