Personal Statement
Design work
As architects we have an obligation to participate in public discussions regarding the common good of our built environment, and that is what drives my current practice.
My professional experience as an architect in a firm, a writer for a magazine and a public relations officer in an architecture office taught me that the vast majority of
architecture related communications are for the consumption of other architects. Throughout my career I have participated in efforts to democratize the design process and
explain the concepts behind human-built environments.
Since I started working on communication strategy, with an aim to build a shared language, I have participated in several socially-focused and mediation projects. The work
samples you’ll see next have the purpose of generating proposals from which to build new social forms in relation to spaces, so that we can have better and friendlier places to
live in.
1. The importance of research projects and their capacity to showcase the challenges architects are facing in their countries and the way they work to overcome social issues.
2. The production and distribution of knowledge through design, as it is crucial to the development of social and politically engaged thinking.

This illustrated book presents a new alternative for the architectural process by bringing
readers closer to the designing of the spaces that they will inhabit daily, regardless of their
knowledge or background. It is not intended as a textbook for architects - it is a reminder
that what is important is not the space itself, but the relationship with its inhabitants and the
connection created between them; one cannot exist without the other. This work would later
be selected as part of the Mexican pavilion of the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture.

Hotel Umbral
Type of project: naming, branding, visual identity and wayfinding design
Year: in progress
Purpose: private client, Curio Collection by Hilton
The name and brand enhances the elegance and the intrigue that the
architectural design of the hotel offers. I wanted the brand to be able to tell
a story and to have a strong narrative in itself. It was very important that the
design didn’t feel overly developed in order for it to be faithful to the criteria
of the architectural design developed by Javier Sánchez.
The wayfinding design was an important part of the project and it responds
to the concept of traveling and discovering a space gradually. It seeks to set
the stage for discovery and indulge, where mindful details and a carefully
considered simplicity allow for exploration. That is why the scale of the signs
is discreet and plays with light, setoff, location and contrast.

and contrast of their ideas. The referred binomials confront thought and
form with deductive inferences. The sum of the parts envisages meanings
and critical reasons of the architecture for its future reconstruction.
