The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture

Finding and making instruments of care for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Earlier this spring, students in Carlos Blanco's studio explored how architecture can support care, resilience and ecological systems, with Puerto Rico at the heart of their investigation. During a week of exploration, students visited rural and urban sites to grasp a more layered and grounded understanding of the island. Swipe through the photos to see some of their exploration!
