Laura Laso Buceta
Born in Vigo, a city in the northwest of Spain, moved to Madrid and started degree in Architecture in 2012. Third year student, doing a semester abroad at BU.
As a future architect, my interests in design are substantial. Planning is part of architecture, there is a change in scale, but the design principles that make people feel safe, relaxed and cherished are the same. One of my goals as an architect is to help people be comfortable and achieve a better life quality through the design of their houses, neighborhoods or towns.
