ANA HERNÁNDEZ CHAMORRO
architect & urban designer EDUCATION
Recently graduated, I look forward to exploring the role of architecture and urban design in our climate change era. I think of architecture as a social tool to foster equality with sustainable and human-centred designs. I learn by travelling, with my camera and a sketchbook. When I can, I climb mountains, visit libraries and listen to jazz. Barcelona, Spain.
