My research goals focus on collective housing from a gender-based perspective and "the land question", on the drawing tools as a bridge between actors across disciplines in the Hº and Tº of architecture, (built) environment, and visual arts, and on the reciprocal interaction of the multiplicity of architecture scenarios with its specific ecological and social landscape participation.

Collaborations, and collaborators are specifically shown per each project
We firmly believe in critical collaboration, active participation, and interactive dialogue with different actors across disciplines. For that reason, we collaborate with other voices, minds, and mediators at different scales and times, such as researchers, carpenters, linguistics, motion graphers, designers, local experts, agronomists, critics, other research-oriented practices, platforms, inhabitants, engineers, professors, psychologists, economists, among many other actors involved depending on the (virtual, presential, and/or hybrid site-specific) project.
