Today, here in my country Venezuela, Architect's Day is celebrated, so as I am an architect, it is also my day, and that is why this is my reason for gratitude in the challenge created by @tojukaka of 62 days of #gratitudeday.

Already in a previous post I described how grateful I am first to God and then to my parents for the opportunity and support given throughout my university career, it was really an enriching experience and a great blessing for my life, since Architecture is the most complete career in terms of the fields that are played in his studio. He has subjects such as HISTORY combined with a bit of PHILOSOPHY and ART, as well as GEOMETRY and MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS and IT. It touches the topic of CONSTRUCTION, projects and at the same time appeals to the use of IMAGINATION as an element of expression.

For the student of architecture it is important to combine mathematical capacity with expressive capacity, to handle a poetic and conceptual language, to have mastery of spatial vision and dexterity with the mechanisms to communicate their ideas, notions of the environment, optimization of light, knowledge of the materials and their effects; know how to foresee the sensations that the individual will experience with his creation in the future. Must know the nature and its environment, capture in the client what he really wants, in addition to the value that he represents, in order to achieve the desired result, that is, even has some PSYCHOLOGY, without forgetting that as an architect, it must also develop the capacity for decision and leadership.

Today I am grateful for my 22 years as an Architect, for all the projects that God has allowed me to develop and execute, I am grateful for the nights that I have not slept, but that have generated great satisfactions to me when seeing a culminated design. Thank you Lord for the clients to whom I have had the responsibility and the honor of designing your home or your office, thank you for my teachers and tutors who guided me at the beginning of my professional life such as Cristobal Colon Conde, Manuel Gispert, Javier Díaz, Nohelys Durán and Liliana Avendaño. From the same manjera I am grateful for the teams of professionals with whom I have worked in all these years, I am grateful for the engineers like José Alfonzo, David Enrriquez, Isidro Maldonado, Guillermo Mascobeto, among others, with whom I am still doing projects and are of perseverance and professionalism.
