I studied architecture and urbanism at the University of Buenos Aires during the mid eighties. I lectured there for another ten years, preaching the critical bible of the Frankfurt School and Michel Foucaul's research on architectural devices.
Then I began to research on the impact of internet on urban matters. And the interaction between them and the ambient is what I'm doing now.
I'm co-founder of m7red.
Based in Buenos Aires, m7red is an urban resources network with archives, laboratories and consulting offices. M7 has been working over the last five years with a wide range of experts and non-experts, analyzing, discussing, researching and making proposals on the most pressing political and urban topics. We are working on the boundaries between an NGO, a research group, urban consulting and a strategic forum. Our know-how comes from the analysis and management of exchange processes and transformations between civil society and the nation state’s control.

I'm part of the Blue House project at IJburg, developed by Jeanne van Heeswijk, Herve Paraponaris and Dennis Kaspori , since its very begginings in the year 2005.
I practice yoga in the Krishnamacharya tradition via his son TKV Desikachar.
I'm actually studying Old Norse.
