About 

I am Aldana Ferrer Garcia, an Architect from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I hold a Masters in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute and now I combine the expertise from both disciplines into my practise based in Brooklyn.

I have a background in academic, research and professional work in architecture from Buenos Aires and now a hands-on, human-cetered design approach from Brooklyn, Tokyo and London during my Industrial Design education years. I've also participated in diverse projects in Mexico, Poland and Guatemala working with local crafts and artisan community.

This was a short project working for a government initiative called Tecnopolis.

We were a team of 8 architects working on site with a wide range of projects. Our job included designing new infrastructure for the technological park, receiving new requirements and briefs everyday, as well as supervising the construction of them.

It was a fast-paced experience where being resourceful, creative and a fast problem-solver were the basic skills to have.
