a bit about me
As an architect, my biggest goal is to positively contribute to heighten life quality. I consider Architecture as a changing force, creating an emotional impact between people and space. Architecture should create thrill. Design and technical solutions have to come together to add value, ending up in balanced results. I have worked for several ateliers, learning from different projects and team mates. I love to keep on growing and enjoying my job. I am optimistic and curious. I face every challenge with open mind, straightforward attitude and work hard to go through it. I firmly trust in loving what you do and, moreover, facing every job with heart and soul, as if was for yourself.

Inhabit: rhythms We are moved by habits, auto imposed or biological rhythms. We are sitting ducks of routine. We are a swarm that doesn't know very well where it's going, just follows the one in front. Walk. Run. Continue. Move forward. To the tube. Tick-tack. Home. Tick-tack. The bus. Again to work. Tick-tack. Car. Car. Car. Rest, no! programmed leisure, collective spare time. Tick-tack. Think, no! Continue. Copy. Climb. You, you, you, yourself, no! Work. We are routine, we need routine. Program. The city's rhythm is the reference. Cellular, horn. Under construction. Disputes. Run.
We are docile sheeps or words apart. Sometimes a madman stands out. No!, don't be head and shoulders above. We need from the group in this ecosystem that we have fabricated. Cloak. Be mass. Arrive, no! Always on the way. Tick-tack. Counter clock, timed. Seem calm. Don't let them see weakness. The strong's rhythm. Everybody's rhythm. We live in prefabricated comfort: prĂŞt-a porter clothing, Mc Donald's, teleeverything. The city's rhythm is nourished from the one-use concept. Noises, machine rhythms, people, superpose. Isolated they mean nothing. We are nobody. We can't reach. We are small, vulnerable, not different from the other beings. We need our preciated happiness substituters to make the music of the city, noise for many, the urbanite's rhythm.
We see the individual immersed in the city's rhythm, which is no more than the superposition of the noises ourselves or our appreciated machines do. Separated they are perceived completely different to the group. Isolated they are nothing, but together they work, just like the rhythms of a song that superposed form the melody. With people happens the same, the group is not the sum of its parts, but interaction creates other product. We live caught in our routine, in this rhythm, and when we face the group we act different than at home. That's why dwellings have to be like the city, with its hermetic rhythm, and in the inside be like the individual, being able to group units as people need, creating the exterior rhythm.
Inhabit: cages Everything moves in the city. I stop. My eyes half closed. There they are: boxes, human lives' containers. Rigid, dark, impersonal, pre-established. Who has the right to impose how people should live? Our containers are not any more our shelter from the weather to turn out to be the city's symbol, madness symbols, sheep's emblem. I move away, let my eyes half closed again: tiles. Our constructions are small tiles of a great collage. I look and see, from my box, my cage, the others' boxes, cages of their lives.
Is it not Art that Men need? What is any form of expression, but the necessity to get out of our materiality, a way to evade ourselves, to create parallel realities.
