The field of architecture is constantly innovating to better serve its audiences. Hear how architecture is critical to the aesthetic experience of the viewer through the use of light, shadows, volumes, and textures. It is with these tools that the architect creates a unique experience resulting in personal associations and cultural significance with an emotional resonance. Please join us for this insightful discussion.

As a passionate advocate for the arts, Ms. Velásquez has focused on fostering cross-cultural dialogues within the San Diego community as well as nationally and internationally.
