--NACHO FUENTES-CANTILLANA MONEREO--
HOLA SOY NACHO.
Hey there! I'm Nacho Fuentes-Cantillana Monereo, an architect and computational designer hailing from Madrid, Spain, but currently finding inspiration amidst the vibrant landscapes of the Yucatán jungle in Mexico.
My journey in architecture has been a multifaceted exploration of creativity, blending my love for designing spaces with a deep-rooted passion for the natural world. When I'm not immersed in the digital realm of architectural design, you'll often find me venturing into the lush wilderness, drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns of the foliage and the timeless beauty of the natural environment.
But my connection to nature doesn't end there. As an avid advocate for sustainable design, I've dedicated myself to exploring the possibilities of biomaterials – harnessing the raw power of nature to create innovative solutions that not only minimize environmental impact but also celebrate the inherent beauty of organic forms.
Beyond the confines of architectural practice, I'm also a fervent illustrator, using my downtime and travels to capture the essence of the world around me in digital sketches and illustrations. Whether it's documenting the intricate details of a leaf or capturing the sweeping vistas of a remote landscape, my illustrations serve as a testament to my deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
But don't let my love for nature fool you – I'm equally passionate about the digital realm of fabrication. From experimenting with CNC machining to pushing the boundaries of 3D printing technology, I'm constantly seeking out new ways to merge the digital and natural worlds, creating designs that seamlessly blend innovation with organic beauty.
Overall, my work is a reflection of my belief in the symbiotic relationship between architecture, nature, and technology. By bridging the gap between the digital and natural worlds, I strive to create designs that not only inspire awe but also foster a deeper connection to the world around us.
