about

My name is Nelly Fernanda Fuentes. I have just completed a Master of Science in Urban Design at the University of Texas in Austin after having completed my Masters of Landscape Architecture in the spring of 2012. My area of interest is the integration of landscape systems with urban systems. For me, that means designing in a way that not only enhances both the ecological performance of the site and well-being of the user, but also inspires people to become stewards of their environment through meaningful experience. Finding meaning in our environments is one facet of a reciprocal relationship that sees people as actively participating in urban ecosystems.
