My research goals focus on three main directions:
i) rethinking collective housing from a gender-based perspective, ii) on the drawing tools as a bridge between actors across disciplines in the history and theory of architecture, (built) environment, and visual arts, and
iii) on the interaction among the architecture scenarios with its landscape ecology and critical participation.

ii) expresión gráfica arquitectónica, utopías y narrativas gráficas;
iii) procesos proyectuales y proyectos que dialogan con las
posibilidades y los escenarios entre participación, ecología y paisaje.

We 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, philosophers, 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.
