As an architect specialized in industrialized timber construction and digital fabrication, I explore how wood-based building systems can transform the way we build. I've participated in award-winning projects in Barcelona (1st place InsudPharma, Gold Prize Design Educates 2025 for CORA) and developed applied research on transforming agricultural waste into construction materials.
Bridging material craft with digital innovation to design buildings that perform, inspire, and heal. As a Master's-trained architect with 5+ years developing sustainable projects across Spain, Ecuador, and international contexts, I integrate three core dimensions:
▹ advanced technology (BIM, Grasshopper, generative design)
▹ circular systems (mass timber, carbon reduction, energy efficiency)
▹ cultural authenticity that connects communities to their built environment.
Key Achievements:
🔹*Gold Prize, Design Educates Awards 2025, for CORA (Cathedral of Robotic Artisans) a parametric wood studio advancing robotic fabrication.
🔹1st Place, InsudPharma Urban Competition, (5,875 m² | 25% energy efficiency improvement via CLT construction).
🔹50% carbon reduction, in social housing (INCASÒL, 24 units) through industrialized mass timber systems.
🔹Published architect, in Urban Identity (Madrid), Trama Magazine, and emerging specialist in wood-based biocircular architecture.
