Hello I am an architect from Mexico City I have dedicated the past 8 years of my career and education to learn from the practice of architecture and sustainable development in Scandinavia
My motivation in life is to discover new architecture atmospheres that excite, where people can rely for an integral fulfillment I practice rationalism and spontaneity combined, so that together work for assertive and adaptive solutions
