Attributing his success to his passion for his job, he notes that he “never works a day in his life” because he enjoys his profession.

Looking towards the future, he intends to continue educating students in architecture and urban design. He looks forward to teaching at the University of Girona in Catalonia, Spain, where he lectures in the Department of Architecture annually. A board member for the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood of Boston, Mr. Delgado would like to be remembered as someone who dedicated his work to the development of public spaces.
