“It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to be teaching at the school that gave me the tools to be successful in the Design Industry. It is a special opportunity for me to pass the information to new generations, always in the name of Architecture and the Interior Design, in a society where we (designers) have the duty to learn from the past, in order to create the present and actively participate in the construction of the future with responsibility, creativity, and enthusiasm.” -Hector Alvarez-
