About me

Architect specialized in urban land development with more than twenty years of international experience in urban regeneration and the organization of large-scale urban systems. My practice integrates urban design, architecture and regulatory frameworks through a structural understanding of the city, with a focus on identity, climate and long-term urban performance. I have worked across Europe and the Middle East in contexts of high technical and institutional complexity, developing my own methodology based on urban structure and operational viability. My work focuses on understanding the city as a system and defining clear frameworks for its transformation, linking urban form, public space and governance. I bring an approach aimed at structuring complexity, clarifying professional criteria and establishing stable frameworks within the field of urban planning, with an emphasis on strategic direction and long-term professional growth.
