Investigation

Her work attends to the use of built space and the sociability that it generates. She carries out specific interventions in both public and private spaces and at different scales such as those of architecture, urbanism or the territory.

In recent years, she has worked with the notion of outdoor space as an intermediate zone of connection between indoor spaces, with actions that try to reinforce what is common in the urban environment.
