Architecture can be a gift to the planet.

**Hi, rebel! If you landed here, you’re in good company…**

I'm Inés, an architecture graduate who chose to carve her own path. To me, architecture is far more than buildings; it's a **catalyst for transformative change.** Hence I aim to inspire architects, designers and creatives to express their unique **potential**. Having struggled to fit the conventional ‘architect’ mould, I now use my voice to instil **self-awareness** and inspire **new possibilities** — guiding others to break free from the same constraints I once knew to discover their innate power to create **systems change.** Currently writing a book and open to impact-focused collaborations.

What I stand for: To make the outer change our planet longs for, we need to make the inner transformation first.

You are the System

Are you an Activist or a Reactivist?

Creating systemic change and transformation is not a one-person kind of thing. Now, more than ever, we need to re-imagine together, synergize our gifts and do it how nature does it best: in collaboration. Just like the ‘master builder’ can’t and doesn’t need to wear all hats, we too can’t and don’t need to do it all alone.

Students, graduates and professionals in architecture, design and the creative industries are full of potential they don’t know they have. My role as a teacher and speaker is to engage, activate and inspire them to unlock this potential. Looking for a speech or a lecture series that will leave students/professionals/creatives inspired, empowered + transformed? ➝
The standard architecture curriculum prioritizes hard skills over soft skills that are vital for a rapidly changing world,and in doing so, could make students ‘not fit’ for the future. Within interactive self-awareness workshops, I guide participants to meet themselves more deeply, re-claim their gifts and develop agency. Looking for a facilitator to help transform school, work or an organization? ➝
Enough with complicated archi jargon. Looking for a voice that is fresh and stirs your deepest longings, desires and hopes? ➝ This is activism, but a different kind. I don’t tell your audience what they want to hear; I tell them what they don’t know they need to hear.
Architecture has unlimited expressions. Want to partner up to express your weird ideas and bold campaigns? Let’s lay the foundations together where we make sure to make the inner changes needed to create the outer! ➝

Manifesto:

We are not just architects. We are dreamers. Makers. Rebels. Catalysts. We break the rules and make our own. We respect the old but make it better. We don’t just ‘design buildings’ but think in wholes. Our degree is a foundation to redefine what’s possible. We know our worth and no longer settle. We reimagine a profession where we dignify and are dignified. A joint force that opens, not closes, to the challenges of our times. We love shaking things up by cross-pollinating disciplines. Nature? We don’t just design with it, we are it, and that changes everything. To us, space is more than an arrangement of walls on a block of land but a living organism that breathes, evolves and serves the inseparable web. It’s an opportunity to reconcile planet and people, body and mind. We understand that external change has to start inside. That when we embody what we hold dear and courageously embrace fear, we ignite ripples of transformation that echo far beyond this generation.
