I am an architect and spatial researcher based in Berlin and Santo Domingo. My research investigates the social dynamics behind spatial production, the movement of subjects across territories, the spaces they find themselves interacting with, and the narratives that surround them. 

My doctoral research examines plural methodologies and epistemologies for investigating how space is assembled in a transcalar manner by focusing on the spatialization of practices of care and social reproduction in plantation territories in the Caribbean. 

I am part of the collective spatial:cru. There, we use critical pedagogies of co~creation, re:cognition, and (un)learning to question dominant structures of knowledge and oppressive spatial relations while articulating practices of collaboration.

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.
