 Born in Heredia, Costa Rica in 1953 and grew up during his youth in Mexico City, I has lived in Mexico from 1978-1985 working for the Ministry of Urban Development and Ecology (SEDESOL) and for reasons the 1985 earthquake moved of his originate Costa Rica where he remained for fifteen years living there, but the desire to return to Mexico, back in 2000 by institutional invitation CONACULTA.

Adapts my life to Mexican style, a style of life that allows the design of the magnificent scenery and a taste for Mexican architecture are two aspects together to learn the essence of regional art. His intellectual work within the design part unequivocally to capture and preserve the flavor of the ancient urban and rural settlements changing Mexicans, running from the Central highlands of the Republic to its vast northern territories, in a world that is changing rapidly by the economic phenomenon and an old Mexico that is rapidly disappearing to enter a transition of modern Mexico. I am an architect of the most committed in the knowledge of human ecology and settlements. My intuitive extraordinary talent expose me as a developer to design an environment Bio-habitat required by the human being is fully evident in certain analyze the phenomenology of living space - providing communities an inspiration to me form of biological life everyone needs, developed through years of study, an art form with genuine expertise in both glass and phenomenological understanding of the concept of space Environment and and sustainability. It is rated by the analytical depth of urban / rural design to achieve pristine forms of geographic space transformed without altering the ecological environment; it has sought a proprietary method that provides in each study the most pristine expression. Work on the problems of community life obtaining a mold these physical needs of each ethnic social group requires its own space on stage. I studied architecture in Mexico and later in arts Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, WA 1995; Glass chemistry at the Polytechnic University of San Luis Obispo, USA, Vitro Art Center, 1992 Monterrey, and Mexico City, performing various participatory activities in the crafts fair in Córdoba 1999 Argentina by UNESCO, joined the School Handicrafts of the University of Durango, 2002 and the Technological University of León under the CIEM​-Pymes program - 2007, captures the research and teaching at the Universidad Iberoamericana de León, where does support the Glass Workshop in the race Design Product 2009-2010, with teaching excellence.

“It is said that the landscape is a state of mind, that whatever landscape we see with the eyes from within, it will be because those extraordinary view internal organs failed to see these plants and these hangars, these fumes that devour the sky, these toxic dusts, sludge eternal, these crusts of soot, the sweep of yesterday's trash daily, morning trash sweep of today, here would be sufficient the simple eyes of the face to teach more satisfied souls venture to doubt that supposed to indulge”.

Implement studies on urban/rural landscape research uses a broad perspective to study urbanization and its interaction with natural ecosystem and human society. It is believed possess of the big potential to provide Urban Form & Land Use Planning continues to develop the theoretical and methodological basis by investigating contemporary landscape based architecture, the use of new methods and techniques such as GIS and other advanced software, and the role of mapping/drawing in landscape architectonic research and urban design. In the last decades, the research program has contributed to the theory, methods, and techniques of landscape architecture design and planning. The core of the discipline however, is being constantly redefined by accumulated knowledge and practice. The ambition of the program is to retain its role of pioneer in this process by investigating recent examples and related typologies. Another goal is not only to investigate what architecture does with the landscape, but more importantly, to investigate the influence which landscape has exerted on urbanism, thereby exposing how the point of departure for a genuine design culture lies in a merger of the two. There will be a strong emphasis on the application and development of advanced methods and techniques for representation, analysis, modeling and monitoring on new theories and methods for urban structure development.
