TRANSCRIPT
I am an Argentinian architect and urban designer.
I have previously worked for a company called STAC Architecture in London as well as Direccion General de Patrimonio Cultural (General Management of Cultural Heritage) in Salta, Argentina for ar-chitectural departments. I have also done freelance projects, one of them being for the official asso-ciation of Physiotherapists in Salta, Argentina. This included the design of their social headquarters.
I am a driven, hardworking individual who is passionate about architecture, its design and process. In my spare time I aim to hone my skills with software such as Sketchup, Autocad and Adobe Pac-kage; ensuring that my designs are creatively unique. Other interests include sculpture, painting and digital art. I have been fortunate enough to have won awards in both sculpture and painting.

During my three-month internship at STAC Architecture I worked on several projects that revolved around the refurbishment of the British Land Developers.
In this case the client wanted to redefine the public realm to pro-vide amenities that would encourage people to pause, interact and occupy the area as a whole, rather than simply pass by.
01- Combine units 6a & 6b to form a larger single retail unit.- Define shopfront and make attractive for future tenant.- Modernise and define public realm to attract people along this area of the campus.
- Development of artistic designs.- Consider artwork walls as part of scheme.- Project brief: The life of Robert Browning...in the context of Paddington. Emphasis on his poetry, more specifically: Meeting at Night.

Social headquarters for the Physiotherapists Association - Salta / Argentina 2014 - 2015
This is the first task I undertook as an independent architect after my contract with General Managment of Cultural Heritage.
Nowadays, the Association of Physiotherapists´ Social Head-quarters is located in the heart of Salta, Argentina. It became the core educational and social hub for the professionals.
I had the opportunity to deal with all aspects of the project. Such as surveying, design, project development, and the technical management of the building right up to completion.

Survey and project for restoration of heritage property “ House Guemes “ - Salta / Argentina 2013
For my first professional experience I worked for the General Ma-nagement of Cultural Heritage in my Province Salta, Argentina.
I was part of the architectural department team and we were in charge of several surveys and projects.
The following model and floorplan corresponds to the survey and project of restoration for the existing heritage property “ House Guemes “. In this venture, I carried out the survey on-site and later on in AutoCAD. Finally, I did a Sketchup model showing the whole heritage property.
Restoration Old Casino Alta Gracia / Competition - Cordoba / Argentina 2012
When the course finished my partner and I were selected by our teacher to be assistants in a national architectural competion. This was the first time I was exposed to a professional environ-ment and able to contribute to a team of architectural practice.
This project was about restoring the Old Casino in Alta Gracia to become a cultural centre. In the process, we added a contempo-rary architectural extension with new artistic functions.
Cultural Center - Salta / Argentina 2012
Before finishing my architectural studies, I was clear that my thesis would include a design in which I could apply both ar-chitecture and art. Thus, the topic chosen was the cultural cen-tre: Salta, Argentina. Furthermore, this project was undertaken with a strong sustainable profile with the help of the Acoustic and Lighting Research Centre of Cordoba University. I sought advice from this department in hope of designing an environ-mentally-friendly structure that would create awareness on the importance of ecological construction.
This research prompted me to choose a coating of solar protec-tion in order to reduce the energy consumption.
In my final dissertation I got a 10 (ten); the maximum grade within the range of qualifications in Argenti-nian Universities.
Sport Centre - Cordoba / Argentina 2011
The following project was developed with my classmate during my final year at college. Due to the scale of this project, as a design challenge we decided to start experimenting with the building structure. We therefore conducted some 3D experimen-tation until we found the most functional solution. The design process of the building structure made us realise how vital tech-nology is to the creative proccess.
At the end of the course we were chosen as the students of the year. We were later given the opportunity by our teacher to be Assistants in a National Architectural Contest.
