Accepted into the GSD community I’d contribute a different point of view towards design, technology and architecture. While growing up, I was always inspired by my father’s passion towards civil engineering. He’d take me to land he’d purchased, and after a few years later show me the same land with built homes. Growing up listening to him speak for a morning Sunday radio show where he’d answer environmental technical questions inspired me to follow his footsteps. Being around his passion towards design, construction, maintenance, and math opened my perspective to a world of developing and design. The support I received from my parents towards art was always very positive.

I attended a Technical academy of art in the Dominican Republic and was taught to develop and grow a lot of the technical skills I demonstrate today. They are a manufacturing school that makes construction products for the US market. I was prepared to provide design styles for a global community, while developing my own design style. Creating works that adapt to client’s style is an ability I’ve obtained over the years. I’m a painter that turns my works into digital projects. My style is to develop an idea to a growing society that constantly needs new visuals to connect with a product. As history develops and psychologist study the changes of the brain, I’d analyze the studies and provide a new perspective to design.

In conclusion as new media advances and art progresses the art selected can stay printed for the future generations. Staying up to date with new construction tactics is another point of view I’d contribute to the GSD community. As historians collect art, we gather data of information that can be studied to progress new design equipment for construction. Data that can be used in subjects as religion, math, science, and technology related to architecture. Keeping in mind history dictates passed events that reflect new ones. Relating both present and future into one context is relevant when creating a collection of pieces for preservation. Creating a chain of structured virtual documented pieces can provide a collection for the GSD community.

Less is more is a characteristic that first starts with the mind. A mindset that is represented through design. First the mind needs to understand that everything is eventually giving back to land. One is born with nothing and through the studies of books and knowledge then is given the tools to provide information for future generations. Through the wisdom of great man and woman that have left behind knowledge one is able to create for education. The more one stores in the mind the more enlighten she or he becomes to execute clean slates of design. Design is taking an idea and executing a goal with a team of builders to better enhance the human life.

Providing information for a team of creatives to build projects knowing that the information was stored to be given back. Less is more is a walk of life designers and builders can incorporate when developing new techniques. Expressing a project with less mathematics can result more when developing new infrastructures. Covid-19 has brought the world to a stop and has demonstrated scientist, designers and mathematicians that less is more. Creating new books with precise designs and clear information can facilitate the update of information for educators to provide knowledge for students. Working with natural resources to create a society that uses innovative solutions to update the human interaction can be created through renewable energy. The design layout for new science books can hold capabilities of information that is being gathered through aerospace engineering and climate change. Building around new information is done by brainstorming different subjects to create new ideas. Like a good old classic Beatles song says, “all you need is love”. Represent that through a clean slate of design.
