About

Architect and computational designer based in Barcelona, with 10+ years of experience across architecture, parametric design, industrial automation, CAD/CAM workflows, and digital fabrication.

Work focuses on fabrication-aware geometry and computation as a production interface: geometry rationalization, panelization and discretization, CNC-ready detailing, and custom software tools for design and manufacturing workflows. Construction logic, means and methods, and assembly sequencing are treated as first-class design constraints—developed alongside, not after, the form.
