The government of Puerto Rico has every right to hold a plebiscite, to consult the people of Puerto Rico regarding their wishes. But the truth is that for a change in the status of Puerto Rico to happen, you need both Congress and Puerto Rico agreeing to it.

After four centuries of Spanish rule, Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States in 1898. Residents were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917, and the federal government has allowed Puerto Rico to exercise authority over its local affairs in a manner similar to the 50 states.

Puerto Rico has two divergent paths forward. After a reasonable transition period, it could become a state. Or it can become a sovereign nation.

A territory cannot become a state or a nation unless Congress approves legislation and the president signs it.

Because of the nature of the profession of architecture, the art of architecture nourishes itself from other disciplines.

All art is dependent on technology because it's a human endeavour, so even when you're using charcoal on a wall or designed the proscenium arch, that's technology.

There is no must in art because art is free.

All art is contemporary art because it had to be made when it was now.

It appears to be monumental only because it's art.

The attitude is very important. Because, your behavior radiates how you feel.
