ARChITECTURE PORTFOLIO
María Arenillas
Enthusiastic ETSAM certified architect. Excelled in landscaping and rehabilitation of obsolete spaces. Obsessed with cinema and it’s intricate relationship with architecture.
Living between high-tech architectureand the brutalism of Denis Villeneuve, I intend to combine the latest technological solutions with the inhabitant’s necessity of appropriation and ownership. During any project developing process I focus mainly on environmentalfriendly design and recycling solutions, considering zerowaste as the first step towards sustainability.
I’ve worked as well individually as in teams and I’m willing to prove my competency and reliability, showing that a successful team approach gives the best results regardless of the deadline’s proximity.
