Steve Maldonado Silvestrini
Steve Maldonado Silvestrini studied Architecture at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. Currently, he is an independent researcher on Neotropical Botany, Ecology and Taxonomy focused on the insular Caribbean. His studies aim to develop data on coastal plant communities, coastal habitats, and exotic species being introduced to the Caribbean. He is mixing both professions on what he proposes as non-anthropocentric or post-anthropocentric architecture, architecture for non-humans or not centered on human needs, but on an ecologically-inclusive approach.

Reminiscencias sobre la cartografía de la costa caribeña
By Steve Maldonado Silvestrini and Nicole DelgadoUna onda es un pulso, del más allá, desconocido, que alcanza un límite y se estrella. En el choque no solo se rompe la ola sino también lo que está en su camino. Para cualquiera que haya vivido en el Caribe, el recuerdo de los castillos de arena desintegrándose por el oleaje es omnipresente.
