“The architect should be a humanist. Their vision must be global, universal, and thus also local… The architect is an intellectual, both through education and role. They must also be technically knowledgeable to realize their intellectual dreams, especially if these dreams are rich, vibrant, and poetic.” — Carlos Raúl Villanueva This quote has always resonated with me. Architecture is a bridge between ideas and built spaces—an act of communication that connects people, materials, and methods. Over the years, my focus has evolved beyond design into BIM, methodology development, and data-driven workflows. I see architecture not only as the creation of spaces but also as the careful structuring of the processes that shape them. The Atelier of the future is one where data pipelines, ETL processes, and analysis exist alongside design, critical thinking, and craftsmanship. I am passionate about creating workflows that empower creativity—systems that allow architects to focus on what matters most while ensuring precision, sustainability, and efficiency. This means thinking beyond conventional approaches, exploring new digital tools, construction techniques, and material strategies that can elevate both the design process and the final built environment. At the core of my work is a commitment to sustainability, not as an afterthought but as an integral part of design and construction. I believe in using natural materials, conscious detailing, and thoughtful methodologies to create spaces that are not only functional and beautiful but also generous to their occupants—human and non-human alike. While I often write about data, software, and digital processes, my ultimate goal remains clear: to design spaces that improve lives—through better workflows, better buildings, and ultimately, better environments.
