One Community Welcomes Pedro Borba to the Architecture Team

Posted on May 17, 2015 by One Community

One Community welcomes Pedro Borba to the Architecture Team as our newest addition to Team Brazil!

Pedro Borba - 4th-year Architecture and Urban Planning Student

4th-year Architecture and Urban Planning Student: Because Pedro was born and raised in São Paulo, the largest city in the southern hemisphere and in his words, “an urban laboratory needing changes,” he developed a passion for urban issues and designing for people. At the University of São Paulo (USP), a public university in Brazil, Pedro had the opportunity to integrate team projects with social and sustainable awareness, which raised his passion and belief in the potentiality of design for improving people’s lives. The experience of four years as an undergraduate student, an internship, and the current exchange to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has been allowing him to develop his creativity, hand-craft and digital skills (which include proficiency in many softwares, such as Autocad, Revit, 3DS Max, Sketchup, Archicad, ArcGIS and the Adobe Creative Suite). As a member of the One Community team, Pedro is contributing to the 7 Sustainable Village Models as projects he sees as beneficial, useful, and presenting the perspective of designers who intend to change many minds.
