I was born and raised in Cordoba, Argentina, where I completed a Bachelor of Architecture degree at Universidad Catolica de Cordoba. In 2001, I moved to Boston and worked with Merge Architects, Brian Healy Architects, Utile, and Sasaki. In 2010, I received my master’s degree from Harvard Graduate School of Design. Shortly after, in 2014, Paxton Sheldahl and I co-founded BOS|UA, an award-winning practice located in Cambridge, MA.
My teaching approach has a dual focus; it taps into the study of the creative process itself and on issue-driven projects as catalysts for a design agency, where architecture can become a vehicle for positive change. As an educator, I aim to provide students with guidance and tools to unleash fearless thinkers and makers. As a practitioner, I believe we must become instrumental in framing and communicating complex topics that affect our realities today by promoting change from the bottom up. These goals are at the core of my teaching pedagogy that promotes observation, analysis, and critical thinking through making, engaging all aspects of the architectural project. I believe in creating a diverse culture of inquiry and exploration of global issues within local conditions, with every studio and project, fostering engagement between creative individuals and their socio-political contexts.
