Porota

I work as a teacher in the area of architecture history and a studio professor in the University of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (Udelar, Montevideo).

I am also a researcher at the Institute of Theory and Urbanism in the same University.

I direct a professional architecture office, along with two partners.

This is how my interests combine teaching with professional activity.

Respect for the land we habitate
