ABOUT ME
Alejandro Garcia Damasco
I am pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture and Science at Wentworth Institute of Technology, driven by a passion for the intersection of design, construction, and problem-solving. I am fascinated by how spaces shape human experiences and how thoughtful design can improve functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics.
Through my academic and professional experiences, I have developed strong communication and collaboration skills, allowing me to work effectively with teams, convey ideas clearly, and bring a shared vision to life. I thrive in fast-paced environments that challenge me to think critically and push creative boundaries.
At Gensler, I am excited about the opportunity to bring my flexible and creative problemsolving approach to the team. I develop and refine ideas through sketching and storytelling, which help me explore new ways to design functional and engaging spaces. I enjoy thinking through both big-picture concepts and detailed material choices, ensuring that every project balances innovation, sustainability, and user experience.
I am eager to work alongside Gensler’s collaborative teams, where I can continue learning and contribute my design thinking, adaptability, and passion for architecture to projects that make a meaningful impact.

Alejandro Garcia Damasco Restoration and Expansion of Agriculture.
Fall 2024 | Course: ARC 4000
Scope: Urbanism Studio
Professor: Ignacio Cardona
Location: University of New Hampshire, NH
Project Statement: The intervention on the University of New Hampshire’s agricultural sector aims to reconnect the campus to its roots as an agricultural school, celebrating its heritage and ecological importance. A network of pedestrian pathways will weave through the fields, prioritizing foot traffic while linking key sectors. These paths will blend with the natural landscape, encouraging interaction with the gardens and agricultural spaces. Additionally, a wildlife bridge will provide safe passage for animals, fostering biodiversity and ecological connectivity alongside the campus’s historic and innovative identity.
Urban Framework: The expansion of water features and green spaces at UNH restores wetlands and supports biodiversity. Connecting the agriculture sector with wildlife passages creates a balance between farming and natural habitats.

The Perhonen Museum
Summer 2024 | Course: ARC 3500
Scope: Comprehensive Studio
Professor: Kim Poliquin
Location: Bay Area, Helsinki, FI
+ Collaboration work with Alim Bayram
Project Statement: The museum in Helsinki is conceived as an architectural intervention that bridges cultural heritage with contemporary innovation, fostering an engaging and immersive experience. Its spatial configuration emphasizes fluid movement, guiding visitors through interconnected exhibition halls and communal gathering spaces. Concrete and steel define the structural composition, balancing natural organic forms with modern precision, while a high-performance envelope and passive strategies enhance thermal efficiency. The design engages with Helsinki’s waterfront and shifting seasonal light through a kinetic façade that regulates daylight and views. More than a repository of artifacts, the museum serves as a cultural and ecological landmark, strengthening the relationship between urban life, sustainability, and collective memory.
