Postgraduate engagement in architectural exhibitions and research.
Participated in the postgraduate course Sobreexposición at UDEAR, Uruguay, examining architectural exhibitions from both conceptual and spatial perspectives. The course combined theoretical study with critical discussion, fostering a deep understanding of how exhibitions communicate architectural ideas. Culminated in a detailed analysis of a Pavillon de l’Arsenal exhibition in Paris, investigating how to inhabit a single square meter of Parisian windows during COVID-19. The project explored intimacy, spatial perception, and the evolving relationship between individual experience and the urban environment.
My critical work Tutela Compartida, a review of the exhibition Scénarios Futurs held from October 5 to November 7, 2021, was published in MAPEO, an academic architecture journal in Uruguay. The article offers a detailed analysis of the exhibition’s conceptual and spatial strategies, reflecting on how architectural ideas envision possible futures. It contributes to the ongoing discourse in the architectural field, bridging academic critique and professional reflection, and highlighting the role of exhibitions as platforms for exploring, questioning, and imagining architecture in relation to society and context.
Delivered the lecture Context-Sity at the Faculty of Architecture, UdelaR, Uruguay, sharing my professional experience in Europe and presenting my architectural vision. The talk explored the significance of transitional spaces in cities and buildings, emphasizing how context and urban environment shape design strategies and the experience of architectural spaces.
In 2017, my graduation project BIDA (Base for Environmental Diversity Research) was published on Beta Arquitectura, a specialized architecture platform. The project, located on the Uruguayan coast, proposed a responsible intervention within a sensitive landscape. Conceived in timber and prefabricated in parts to minimize impact, it was elevated above the ground to preserve existing vegetation, unfolding as a continuous lookout dedicated to observation and environmental research.

As part of my role as a teaching assistant at the Faculty of Architecture, I delivered a lecture titled IN-Between, focusing on transitional spaces in architecture. The talk explored thresholds, intermediate conditions, and moments of spatial ambiguity as fundamental elements in shaping experience. It reflected on how in-between spaces mediate relationships—between interior and exterior, public and private—revealing architecture as a continuous sequence rather than a collection of isolated rooms.
