I am an architect and spatial researcher based in Berlin and Santo Domingo.

My practice investigates social dynamics behind spatial production, the movement of subjects across territories, the spaces they find themselves interacting with and the narratives behind.

My current line of research revolves around the interplay betweenhost-guest interdependencies by looking into female migration flows, social reproduction, and the spatialization of practices of care in the Caribbean.

mapping alternative infrastructures of care

Casa Hogar Paola Buenrostro in Mexico City is an initiative aimed at addressing the housing needs of the LGBTQI+ community by providing shelter and support to transgender individuals and sex workers.  Kenya Cuevas, activist and leading voice of the initiative, guide us through the space while narrating her*story and describing the different care practices that are particular to the shelter. 

By using care as the primary lens to understand the project, we employed architectural visualization tools to highlight the care practices, people, and spaces involved.
