Objectives My main interests is the intermediate scale between architecture and urban planning, with the strong belief that formal aspects of architecture are not enough to create a functional city, but rather, cities need an integrated and interdisciplinary approach. I believe that a city is alive and as a living being must be respected and understood with all its complexities; structures are built, but a city is developed. In the discipline of Architecture and Urbanism is that professional career and academic research experimentation con be developed side by side and that is my goal.
