The #UpHouse project has been nominated by ArchDaily platform for the Building of the Year Awards 2020! So proud of our work 🙂
It is a great honor to announce that the amazing design journal Dwell has featured the #UPProject !!
I did not imagine that I was so excited that our #UpHouse work appeared in the magazine of the College of Architects of Madrid Coam. Historical, eternal, and unique I can say that I have shared publication with the greatest of architecture, which one day they also published in it and this is exciting .. Thanks to the proposal of the management team of the Federico Soriano Magazine, Pedro Urzaiz and Jacobo García-Germánde for persevering in the idea of an open and varied number, which groups diverse and contemporary initiatives of the Architecture of Madrid.
This Wednesday, October 23, 2019, I was invited as a jury to the DS3 (BAS) midreview with the amazing architects and also professors Lina Toro, Elena Perez and Adam Bresnick, to the course of projects that professors Matan Mayer and Sandra Herrera take in the Segovia School of Architecture. As always, I had a great time as a fish in the water and I hope to have helped all the students who showed their projects. See you in the final jury!
I am pleased to announce that, after many months of work, my research project has been awarded the New York Research Grant from the Arquia Foundation and the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts !! The spring semester of 2020 I will be doing field work to outline the project on the community gardens of Loisaida! More news soon!

This is the catalog of the ECOVISIONARIOS exhibition, curated by Pedro Gadanho,
Mariana Pestana and the Matadero Madrid team. Collaborating in the assembly of the
#ecovisionarios expo has been the most !! Thanks to the great team of @ elii_architecture
and @mataderomadrid for inviting me to contribute with my grain of sand in the experience of
assembling the incredible work of @pinaryoldaas !! An adventure of watts, wood and mirrors ...
in which the body feels the heat in its own skin. Thanks to Elii Arquitectura for inviting me to
collaborate with such incredible professionals.
The research project of the #institutomutante of environmental narratives and the #jardincyborg of
@elii_architecture and @mataderomadrid hosted from June to October 2019 the works of resident
artists and special guest works such as those of Rachel Amstrong whose execution I personally
supervised. Thanks to @elii_architecture I was able to coordinate the construction of the Trace Hall
of #RachelAmstrong and Rolph Huges together with @pierangeloscravaglieri and could not be more
cool. The garden, that "hybrid place and evocative of relationships linked to desire and care" is
deployed in the ship 16 of Matadero through the pieces of the artists uh513 (@imperdiblewoman
and Alberto valverde) @otelhan, @we_are_takk, double happiness (@ jo.hwang and @feliz_nerea),
@ robertina.sebjanic and @fito_conesa and the great team of Rachel Amstrong and Rolf Hughes.
In February 2019, I was invited to give a lecture on my doctoral research within the framework of the Global Urban Humanities group, an interesting inter-initiative of the University of Berkeley, California. Many thanks to Susan Moffat for the invitation and to my fantastic advisor at Berkeley Greg Castillo for his invaluable help during the work.
