I am an architect with a Master’s degree in Architecture Design and Conservation and Restoration of Historical buildings. I am looking for unique opportunities as an architectural assistant Part II to utilize and hone my skills as an effective space designer, problem solver and continue by developing new competences in the daily work of architect.

I began my education persuaded by the idea that spaces which people use, enrich their lives and I still believe deeply in this ethos. I would like to implement this architectural vision through hard work, the sharing of knowledge within a team and the contribution of new ideas to get the most of every project.

Urban scale project. As final exercise of my training I decided to develop a 33 hectares project. The thesis project explores the creation of a new urban development generated by a system based on the courtyard. It includes all typical city infrastructures in addition to 10.000 houses. The project also aimed to improve the standard of living of inhabitants and the economy of the district.

A complete training. I worked over all the scales that determine a real project and the different subjects that architecture involves. I delineated the strategic definition, the rules for the development of the neighbourhood, general plans and sections of the complex, detailed drawings of construction and the structure calculation among other information.

Conclusion. I learnt to develop a project from an economical-social concept to reach a technical definition. And I improved my skills about social housing and residential scheme.

I am currently working in a small size office where I am running several small-medium size projects with the supervision of the practice owner. This has led me to switch between projects and respond to the day-to-day tasks efficiently.

I am working mainly in residential and retail projects in all stages from initial concept design to construction. Participating in site and client meetings.

My work is based on generate all kind of drawings and 3d model using Archicad, models and hand drawings for client reports and presentations.
