I am a Master of Science graduate in Building Architecture from Politecnico di Milano, where I earned my degree with a score of 110/110 cum laude. Previously, I served as a teaching assistant at Diego Portales University and led a studio team, managing up to six projects at once. I have overseen 17 projects from concept to completion, covering over 15,000 square meters. My expertise includes project planning, design oversight, client collaboration, consultant coordination, construction detailing, specification review, and ensuring deliverables meet deadlines and budgets.

the Ship. an innovation campus

Sluisjesdijk- Rotterdam, Netherlands.

A new hub of centrality and connectivity for the city. Mecanoo’s vision, along with the Kop van Zuid development, Maashaven’s new Nelson Mandela Park, and Hart van Zuid, has highlighted Rotterdam South as an essential area for continued development. The proposed masterplan for Sluisjesdijk aims to build on the progress of Maashaven. The proposed International Research Center (IRC), also known as “The Ship,” is intended to serve as a new beacon for innovation and water studies in Rotterdam South.

THE LINE

THE VEIL

THE VESSEL

The campus layout is defined by three key elements: a boundary, referred to as the “LINE,” which establishes the limits between public and private spaces; a tower that houses the main labs and research facilities, serving as the iconic central structure called the “VEIL”; and a hybrid building that repurposes an existing shed, called the “VESSEL,” which hosts the primary labs and experimental areas for the leading university. Together, these elements form the technological campus known as “The Ship.”

Campus Hönggerberg - ETH, Zurich

The project includes a new extension of the ETH University Hönggerberg campus, as part of the Masterplan 2040. The interior layout is designed to offer a flexible and adaptable space that can accommodate the current and future needs of research groups at ETH. The extension includes multipurpose areas for students, a museum, exhibition spaces, event spaces, a restaurant, and commercial areas.

Driven by the desire to create an open yet structured space, we designed an area divided into multiple levels, all connected by a single structural grid. The concept is to establish a shared space divided into distinct blocks, interconnected by a central stairwell and elevator that provide access to each floor. This structural grid has enabled us to create a clear framework within which we can develop the various functions of the space.

The selected ravine is the summary of every kind of interior view with all the social, connection, infrastructure and views problems, so it represents an internal catalogue of problems that could be used as a reference strategy for the global master plan through Valparaiso city.
