Through this letter, I would highly recommend the candidate Manuel
Cruz-Guzmán García as an architect who has amply demonstrated a capacity
for work and talent. I was his teacher of the subject “Architectural Projects 3”
(5th year), architecture degree at the “University Alfonso X el Sabio” in 2009-2010
and later I served as his tutor in developing Final Degree Project which he
defended brilliantly few months ago. I can therefore say that I know first hand
his qualities as a student and I have been able to follow his evolution at the final
stages of his training as an architect. Manuel has shown great creativity
coupled with a high sense of responsibility, both for personal and team work. It
is worth mentioning especially his communication skills, demonstrated in small
groups and with relevant audiences.
I can point out specifically, as proof of his capabilities, the highly
complex projects development, as were the last project of “Architectural
Projects 3” and the Final Degree Project from a bold and unprejudiced
attitude. In both cases he proved his value, particularly in demanding situations,
involving the areas of architecture, urban planning and major infrastructure
and they required a lot of maturity to propose appropriate, realistic and
proportionate solutions without relinquishing to create highly plastic value
environments. In Final Degree Project scored the highest rating of the last calls.
For all these reasons I reiterate my strong recommendation of the
candidate Manuel Cruz-Guzmán García and I would suggest to him career
options that are required in a large dose of creative talent.
