UC Berkeley Architecture Spain Summer Studio: Not Fiesta...I meant SIESTA!

As architecture students, sleep is something we see a foreign object. We accept all-nighters to be part of our daily routine for the following 15 weeks the semester. As midterms and reviews seep into our daily routines, we see how our already limited sleep schedule is reduced to accommodate for these other classes. We remain prisoners of Wurster Hall where we encounter dirty looking beards from stressed out students, colonization of the couch on every studio floor, and weary-eyed individuals who can barely keep focus on their studies. We live in a world of insomnia. We rely on coffee, energy drinks, smoking breaks and in my particular case, the gym to keep us going. These objects become our batteries to keep the energizer bunny going. No wonder we have become addicted to these objects.
Architecture makes us masochist. Was I ready to put myself through the torture again? However,there was something that attracted me to this torture. Thinking of taking an architecture studio after a year without studio, was devouring me as flew from Miami to Spain.That was until I heard of SIESTA!
Siesta was the chance to catch up on all the sleepless nights that had accumulated over the past years in architecture. When I thought about it, we definitely deserved to have Siesta! Siesta was a reward to all the hard work and dedication that we had put in during the days in Spain. In that respect, we had definitely embraced being submerged within the Spanish culture.
After a week or so, we would "Siesta" everywhere, on our break after lunch, on our trips to different destinations. It became an essential part of this group. Why not record the beauty of siesta?!
