About 

I'm a Brazilian-born Architect and Researcher recently graduated from Syracuse University's School of Architecture. On top of my Bachelor of Architecture, I have also completed a Minor in Geography at Syracuse's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

At Syracuse University I spent a semester abroad in New York City, where I learned about Urban Systems and Problems, and first engaged with Real Estate Development from a theoretical perspective to a full project development and financial analysis. My undergraduate thesis looks at the typology of the data center and how one might start to redefine what these environmentally detrimental, yet inevitable, black boxes can be, to create productive technological systems.

My undergraduate thesis looks at the typology of the data center and how one might start to redefine what these environmentally detrimental, yet inevitable, black boxes can be, to create new productive ecologies. A cartographic analysis of the landscape leads to cross-programing opportunities that ultimately assist in the development of the territory.
