URBANISM & LANDSCAPE
Shaping the future of our territories requires a synergy between visionary design and ecological responsibility. In this gallery, I explore the intersection of large-scale landscape interventions and sustainable urbanism through the lens of emerging technologies. From resilient masterplans to high-impact public spaces, each project is anchored by advanced BIM methodologies—ensuring that creative ambition is always met with technical precision, environmental coordination, and a commitment to long-term urban health.
LINEAR PARK GARDEN
The Vision
Linear Park Garden reimagines urban density by deconstructing the traditional boundary between infrastructure and landscape. It is a biophilic infrastructure designed to heal the city fabric, transforming a transit corridor into a dual-level ecosystem where commercial vitality and botanical serenity coexist in a seamless, sculptural form.
​
Architectural Language
The project is defined by a serpentine exoskeleton of off-white raw concrete that undulates across the urban axis. This organic "ribbon" creates a sheltered, open-air galleria at street level, framed by high-performance glass curtain walls and slim tectonic mullions. Above, the structure transitions into a suspended topography: a thick, fertile crust of soil and stone that supports a diverse Mediterranean and tropical forest, featuring a rhythmic interplay of natural oak decking and granite pathways.
​
The Living Experience
The ground floor functions as a curated social hub—an open-concept shopping and dining promenade where the interior spills into the plaza through transparent boundaries. Above, the noise of the city dissolves into the suspended sanctuary. Pedestrians wander through dense floral mounds and mature tree canopies, experiencing an elevated "walk in the clouds." This vertical separation allows for a sensory duality: the vibrant, productive energy of the city below and the absolute, post-rain tranquility of the botanical forest above.
DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR
The Vision
Downtown Corridor (Paseo del Bajo): Urban Pulse reimagines the void beneath the highway infrastructure, deconstructing the traditional boundary between transit and civic life. It is a metabolic intervention designed to heal the urban fabric, transforming a forgotten concrete corridor into a versatile ecosystem where sustainable mobility, commercial vitality, and public leisure coexist in a bold, rhythmic form.
​
Architectural Language
The project is defined by a modular system of repurposed black shipping containers, a tectonic nod to the nearby Port of Buenos Aires and its industrial heritage. These dark, sleek volumes house curated cafes and retail spaces, creating a sharp contrast against the city’s distinctive vibrant yellow. The infrastructure's massive concrete pillars are transformed into dynamic urban canvases, featuring large-scale graffiti and street art that provide a rhythmic visual identity to the entire axis. This "curated friction" between industrial steel and expressive art defines the project's soul.
​
The Living Experience
The ground floor functions as a multidisciplinary social artery that evolves along its trajectory. As users move through the corridor, the experience shifts seamlessly from active recreational zones and open plazas to bustling commercial hubs. The yellow cycle path serves as the connective tissue, winding through changing topographies of art and nature. Pedestrians and cyclists navigate a landscape where the raw, monumental scale of the highway is softened by vibrant street art, creating a sensory journey that celebrates Buenos Aires' contemporary culture and its industrial memory.
THE LIVING CONDUIT
The Vision
The Living Conduit reimagines urban density by deconstructing the traditional boundary between infrastructure and landscape. It is a biophilic infrastructure designed to heal the city fabric, transforming a transit corridor into a dual-level ecosystem where commercial vitality and botanical serenity coexist in a seamless, sculptural form. Rather than a static bridge, it functions as a biological axis—a structure that is "planted" rather than just built, allowing the city to breathe and grow through its very skin.
​
Architectural Language: The Porous Exoskeleton
The project is defined by a serpentine exoskeleton of off-white raw concrete that undulates across the urban axis. Inspired by the multi-scalar porosity of its "living skin," this organic ribbon acts as a structural habitat.Macro-Apertures: Large-scale circular voids that serve as elevated niches, allowing mature shrubs and wildflowers to spill out, creating a vertical forest visible from the street level.The Seed-Infused Matrix: The concrete "skin" is pre-loaded with a diverse selection of seeds and a nutrient-rich substrate. Over time, these seeds germinate within the pores, causing the vegetation to slowly "reclaim" the structure.
Micro-Perforations: A dense pattern of smaller holes designed for passive air circulation, natural light filtration, and the retention of moisture for mosses and lichens.

BIOPHILIC SCULPTURE INTERVENTIONS
The Vision
The Botanical Axis reimagines urban density by deconstructing the traditional boundary between infrastructure and landscape. Urban design is evolving beyond the purely functional into an era of Living Sculptures, interventions that do not just exist in the city but breathe with it. Rather than a static bridge, it functions as a biological axis, a structure that is planted rather than just built, allowing the city to breathe and grow through its very skin.
​
Architectural Language: The Porous Exoskeleton
The project is defined by a serpentine exoskeleton that undulates across the urban axis. This organic ribbon acts as a structural habitat through a revolutionary system of perforated metal sheets:
-
Macro-Apertures: Large-scale circular voids that serve as elevated niches for mature shrubs, creating a vertical forest visible from the street level.
-
The Seed-Infused Matrix: The skin is pre-loaded with a diverse selection of seeds and soil. What begins as a sleek, minimalist architectural piece gradually transforms into a lush, vertical ecosystem as nature takes over the structure.
-
Micro-Perforations: A dense pattern of smaller holes designed for passive air circulation and the retention of moisture for mosses and lichens.

Why this matters for our future cities
-
Biophilic Impact: Integrating nature into the urban environment significantly improves the mental well-being and reduces the stress levels of city dwellers.
-
Urban Cooling: Natural vegetation acts as a thermal buffer, helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect in dense areas.
-
Biodiversity Hubs: These structures serve as micro-habitats, supporting local flora and fauna within the urban fabric.
-
Regenerative Design: By merging industrial materials with natural growth, we create infrastructure that improves and matures over time rather than just weathering.
