As an architect, his work investigates the cultural dimension of the environment in those places where the confluence of multiple realities - social, environmental, political or economic - gives them a marked symbolic as well as testimonial value. The relationship between architecture and the environment or the influence of markets on urban growth are some of his themes of interest. "Un repertorio improbable" (2021), "Deshacer, borrar, activar" (2020), "Sobre el derecho a la ciudad" (2019), "Acta de replanteo" (2017-2016) and "Inventario" (2015) are some of his most important solo exhibitions. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including the Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism held in Medellín.
