On June 25, the 2024 Zigurat Summit took place in Barcelona, sparking important discussions about the convergence of artificial intelligence, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and sustainability in the construction industry.
I am an architect graduated from the University of Buenos Aires, with a Master’s degree in Global Smart City Management from the Zigurat Institute of Technology and the University of Barcelona.
Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of spatial dynamics in both interiors and exteriors, thanks to my involvement in large-scale lighting design projects. This work allowed me to explore how spaces interact with technology and people, and how these interactions can be optimized to improve the quality of life in urban environments.
For more than twenty years, I specialized in the energy industry, focusing on database management and analysis as a GIS specialist, and led the development of a data management system at an international energy company. Additionally, I complemented my technical training with a postgraduate degree in field exploitation, specializing in Reservoir Engineering, at the University of Buenos Aires.
My training in Smart City Management has broadened my vision of contemporary urban challenges. This rigorous program has provided me with the vision, insights, and essential skills needed to integrate innovation, technology, and sustainability into the planning of smart cities.
