I am a Chilean architect

dedicated to field research oriented to the development of public policies on social housing and deprived neighbourhoods. I link this to school and university education projects with an interdisciplinary approach and active citizenship for the co-creation of the built environment. With 10 years of experience now I share my time between Santiago-Chile and Bristol-UK

I have worked in both academic and NGO settings, closely related to the private sector, local governments and ministries. I carry out research and projects mainly through fieldwork, with great flexibility to adapt to each environment and creativity to generate appropriate solutions, always together with people from other disciplines and backgrounds. 

In the projects in which I have been involved I have worked with people from 3 to 90 years old, designing and implementing methodologies such as storytelling tours, meaningful neighbourhood maps, focus groups, group interviews, assemblable models, board games, design workshops, historical timelines, experiential theatre participation workshops.
