Arquitectos Boricua

Para que sepan….
Yo encontre un hombre en PR quien hace arte de madera. Es increible y muy bella la arte. Puede encontrar el website aqui http://www.raiz-es.myeweb.net

Yo compre una conga con la bandera al lado.

Un sitio favorito mio es la playa de Naguabo. Por chance mi esposa y o pasamos por Naguabo al regresar a Fajardo. I wish I spent more time there but I didn’t as it was a vacation and not so much an opportunity to study spaces. My wife would have drown me en el mar if we stopped so I could sketch and study. Naguabo isn’t so much my favorite place…[Read more]

Thanks for your observations. Me lamento que yo no pasara por Guanica cuando yo estaba en PR. Mucha gente me decian buenas cosas de Guanica. What type of tree is the purple flowering one that looks like a flamboyan? I only saw two the time I lived there. How come?

Carlos,
How was your trip to PR? Would like to hear some observations and experiences as well as as see some photos if you have some to share.

Keep an ear out for the Coqui, too!

Various waterfalls, trail systems, some structures, views etc. Also would recommend:…[Read more]

I plan to visit Puerto Rico next week. Do you know of any particular landscape architectural projects to visit?
