First day at the office, and some Spanish Bullfighting!!! Felipe
Stepping into the professional part of my collegiate career has been something extraordinary. Day one arrived monday when me and Alejo got off the Begoña train station to come out and see one of the tallest scrappers in all of Spain right before our eyes. Torre Espacio was this building and it will be our home base for the next ten weeks. Once inside we met our tutor Alejandro Vizcaino who showed us around the building, meeting a lot of its staff and seeing its facilities, to say the least, OHL is a phenomenally organized company. Having our own desk with a window view into Madrid's northern extremities is one of the many great things we encountered that day. I was assigned to help in a project designed by one of the world's most recognized and prized architects Renzo Piano. The building is the be funded by one of Spain's wealthiest and most recognized personalities Emilio Botin. The weekend was also great after taking part in one of Madrid's cultural activities, bullfighting, and as last time, most pictures speak for themselves.
