Carla Rodríguezarchitecture & design
A proactive architecture student, always searching for new knowledge. I have participated in various workshops and courses that have added to my capacity as an architect. That said, my experiences have ranged from visual marketing workshops, to courses on general design which have led me to obtaining a global vision of architecture with a concentration on crucial areas that will support my talent as an
architect.

Distinguished Mrs. Rengifo:
Carla Rodríguez was first my student in an Introduction to Urban Design course during
her 4th year as an undergraduate in the School of Architecture at the Pontificia Universidad
Católica Madre y Maestra [PUCMM] of Santo Domingo. As part of an outstanding generation of
future architects at PUCMM, she’s a worthy representative of the human and academic quality of
this School.
Within this course, the group engaged in a Landscape Architecture competition promoted
by the Ministry of the Environment in which an Urban Ecological Park had to be designed. Carla
always showed special interest in environmental issues and how to integrate them to elaborate a
holistic design at all scales of intervention. Her concern and interest always took things beyond
the requirements stablished for the course, largely exceeding the demands and expectations on
every job and presentation of it. Her group’s design was selected to represent the university in
this national competition.
During the present spring semester (2015), I’m having the opportunity to have Carla
again as a student in the Design Studio 8 course, one of the most complex design studios due to
its topic: Urban Design. In this course, as in the previous one, she highlighted for the depth of her
research, the responsibility assumed towards the challenge that new scales represent and the
indisputable everlasting motivation and contribution to the class. In this phase of her formation
process, she’s already showing a tenacity and confidence on what she wants and believes in.

In personal terms, I’ve had the opportunity to construct an idea of the type of personality
Carla has. She always shows integrity and irreproachable conduct, showing integration qualities,
honesty, solidarity, respect, and loyalty. Without a doubt, her insatiable interest in growing and
learning has enabled her to develop great interpersonal skills.
I am convinced that at a personal and academic level it is unquestionable that her
excellent qualities make her the perfect candidate to be part of this internship program at
Arquitectonica International Corporation, because without a doubt, due to the level of
commitment with which she assumes challenges, the results will always exceed expectations.
I remain available for any other information relevant or needed to understand more about
Ms. Rodríguez.
Without further ado,
Sincerely yours,
