About 

I am an architect from Buenos Aires, Argentina, who’s currently living in France. After a continuum of ill-fated events, in May 2018 I decided to leave my country in search of better opportunities abroad.

I am a graduate with seven years of experience in the field of architecture and design. Throughout my six-year-long degree and my active career, I have been reaching goals and exceeding expectations. My experience has provided me with a wide range of capacities and knowledge which helped me make my way through diverse and contrasting environments where I kept on acquiring specific competencies and practical know-how of this beautiful profession.

For the past three years, I have been actively involved in heritage architecture interventions. I believe that great design always pays close attention to memory. Whatever we experience today is a result of countless ideas, visions, and efforts of previous generations. High design ethics always operates in regards to this: carefully listening to the stories that every space narrates, while elegantly acknowledging a response that echoes the values of the original tale.

The value of memory is a concept inseparable from any notion of architecture.


“... and it is not yet enough to have memories. You must be able to forget them when they are many, and you must have the immense patience to wait until they return. For the memories themselves are not important. Only when they have changed into our very blood, into glance and gesture, and are nameless, no longer to be distinguished from ourselves—only then can it happen that in some very rare hour the first word of a poem arises in their midst and goes forth from them.”
