Architecture Résumé Sebastián Vásquez
Bio
Hi, I am Sebastian, 32 years old architect. I am passionate about the sustainability of antique traditional construction materials and techniques as well as the avant-garde architectural designs.
“In a nutshell, my interest in architecture resides in the innovation that the inclusion of antiques techniques into the contemporary design brings to the surface”
I have worked in diverse fields of the trade. I’ve been involved in award-winning national and international firms and projects, which has given me a comprehensive vision of the construction business and an expertise in multiple-scale architectural design.
My work experience ranges from rural and urban housing design, medium-scale public equipments (parks, schools, artistic centres, community centres, offices, etc), landscape architecture and architectural visualization. Also, I have worked in other branches of architecture, such as technical coordination, construction project management and real estate development.
