I have lived in Thailand since 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I am full-time lecturer at the Monfort del Rosario Architecture School<\/a> in Assumption University, Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early career<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I graduated at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM)<\/a> in 2010, after attending schools such as the University of Hong Kong<\/a>, the Vastu-Silpa Foundation in Ahmedabad<\/a>, the Institute of European Studies of Macau<\/a> and the University of S\u00e3o Paulo<\/a>. In 2008, I received the Spanish-Chinese Cooperation Program Scholarship by David Del Val Foundation, followed by the EMECW Grant by the European Commission in 2010. During that time I part-timed at renown offices such as Gazapo&Lapayese<\/a> in Madrid, Menis Arquitectos<\/a> in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and ATeliers ARchiTecture<\/a> in Macau, which gave me the opportunity to be a small part in exceptional projects: Pradoviejo Public Housing<\/a> in Logro\u00f1o and the Park of Gavia<\/a> in Madrid, by Pritzker prize Toyo Ito; the Museum of Sacred Art and Plaza de Espa\u00f1a<\/a> in Tenerife Island by Fernando Menis and the design of the exhibition for the 25th Anniversary of the Madrid Housing Authority<\/a> in Plaza de Col\u00f3n, Madrid, by Gazapo & Lapayese, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life in Thailand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Between 2014 and 2022 I lectured at the universities of Chulalongkorn<\/a>, Thammasat<\/a> and Stamford<\/a> in Bangkok. In 2018 I was awarded a Seed Grant by Design Trust Hong Kong Foundation<\/a> in order to write my doctoral dissertation about informal architecture in Southeast Asia. Finally, I got my doctorate at UPM in 2023 with the invaluable support of prof. Concha Lapayese and prof. Le Thi Thu Huong from the Vietnamese-German University<\/a> in Ho Chi Minh City, with the generous support of the National Research Council of Thailand<\/a> and prof. Kittichok Nithisathian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
