Who is your favourite architect? Why?

I am really interested in the connection between the old and the new. In this way I really appreciate some local and international architects such as Rafael Moneo, highlighting the Merida Roman Museum in Spain, but also David Chipperfield and Peter Zumthor.I like not only the ability they have of adapting to new environments, but also the way they create new icons connected to those towns and their local characteristics.

What is the major characteristic of your current school’s education?

My school is really orientated to architecture design but also they make a huge emphasis in the construction stage, structure, development, budget, etc.

What have you gained during the MAD internship?

I think MAD is like a little Babel Tower,as it brings people together from all around the world, all working towards a single goal. This in turn offers the opportunity to experience and learn from different cultures. There is this aspect, as well as the design is so very different from the any I have experienced before, therefore it has made for a really profitable experience.

What are your thoughts and feelings upon Chinese Architecture and the environment?Any suggestion?

I think China is changing and reinventing itself every day in a really fast way. The city is changing, and architects experiment with local tradition, western influences, and this makes the city a very surprising and interesting place.

What is your dream?

If you asked me this question 4 years ago, my answer would have been to build a skyscraper in my hometown. Thank God, nowadays I have other ideas, and I realize what truly advances oneself is trying to understand this complicated world by meeting new professionals, and facing new and different challenges.

What would you do if you were not an architect?

Archeology and history fascinates me. In my final thesis project I was able to combine my three passions, in the research and design of repurposing a 1000 year old monastery along the pilgrimage to Santiago in Spain.

What is your dream project?

To buy a piece of land near the Pyrenees and explore the connection between nature and building.

What is your favourite project in your portfolio? Why?

I feel the Research Center that I designed for the Aranzazu mountain range is really special to me, because at first I was displeased with where my project was headed and it took much effort and many sleepless nights to bring the design forward. It has now become my favourite project, as through the redesigning of it I also learnt a lot about myself.

最喜欢的建筑师是谁？为什么？

我喜欢对新与旧的传承很感兴趣，比如一些本地的国家化建筑师，拉斐尔•莫尼奥—他的作品西班牙梅里达罗马博物馆；还有大卫奇普菲尔和彼得卒姆托，他们创造了联系现实环境和当地特色的新建筑。

你所在学校的教育特点？

学校实际教育是的建筑设计，但同时也注重工程，结构，进程，预算等方面。

在MAD实习最大的收获是什么？

MAD像是一个小的巴别塔，从世界各地而来的人们到这里为同一个目标工作，但反过来，这为学习体验不同的文化提供了机会。这和我过去的设计经验非常不同，十分有益。

你对中国建筑的感触是什么？建议是什么？

中国每天都在被重新塑造—以快速的速度。城市被改变，西方的思潮与当地的传统发生碰撞，在城市中产生了令人惊讶和有趣的空间。

你的梦想是什么？

要是4年前，我的答案是在自己的家乡建一栋摩天大楼。感谢上帝，我现在有其它的念头，我意识到真正的进步在用去自己所学迎接新的挑战，去理解这个丰富的世界。

你如果不当建筑师会选择什么职业？

考古学和历史学，在我的毕设我将我的三个热爱：考古，历史和建筑结合起来，调查研究一个千年历史的寺院并进行改建设计。

你梦想中的项目是什么样的？

在比斯牛斯山买块地，探索自然和建筑的联系。

在自己的作品集中，你最喜欢的作品是什么？为什么？

Aranzazu山的研究中心对我来讲是很特别的，在这个项目中我花了很多努力也熬了很多夜。现在它已经成为了我自己最喜爱的项目，通过这个设计我也进一步了解了我自己。
