Then Bury ME...

​

Theories' perceptions and miss perceptions vary according to background, native country, language, opportunities, and ways of learning. Hence, “in order to cooperate across boundaries, we need shared values and cultural understanding.”

Let me start…

I am a woman, a researcher, an architect, and a sustainable designer.

I am Latin; I speak Spanish as my mother tongue.

I am westernized and live in a third-world country. A country some known as the backyard of the United States.

Yet I am American, not as some might perceive it. I wasn’t born in the United States or have a residential visa.

I am American, as I was born in Central America.

This grasping of cultures where one takes what is already learned and consciously applies it with different eyes is how this research embodies sustainable design and innovation pursued in the Oikos RTD Model, used to strengthen the Matriarchal Economy.
