Furthermore, they reflect on their role as contemporary architects in today's society, which faces diverse challenges, and discuss their unique approach to project representation through post-production techniques and collages. They also advise students to foster the relationships built during university, encouraging them to enter competitions and learn to work as a team, asserting that architecture is a collective profession that must be approached from diverse, enriching perspectives.
