I am an architect for whom architecture is something beyond building. It is the way we think of the built and the unbuilt, and how this which we shape shapes us back. I prefer maybe people instead of matter. Things which take care and time, weathering and transforming. I like long talks with friends, and random discoveries.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I mainly used couchsurfing until 2013, when I was living in a beautiful big apartment in Berlin. Now I moved to Brussels, apartments are smaller, schedules are tight... Still, if you're around, give it a try and you might be lucky :)

Intereses

architecture sociology, films, staying up until late at night without any particular reason, old cafes, old stories, weird music, "over-identification", performances, details, the grotesque, swimming, the sun, traveling (the process of moving, even using public transportation in the city)
