Andrés, how were your beginnings in the field and how did you develop as a professional until now?
In the middle of 2000, studying the last year of Architecture, I was presented with the opportunity to join as Head of Maintenance of the “Oroño Group”, an important private Health Group in the city of Rosario. Soon after, we formed the Technical Office and I was in charge of the Directorate of Architecture and Planning of Works and Infrastructure, together with the Architect Simón Villavicencio, to date.
At the same time, I direct my own Studio together with my partner, Architect Gustavo Miconi, focused on the development of efficient and sustainable projects.
I am currently studying the last stage of the Master in Hospital Architecture, at the prestigious Spanish academy “Alebat Education”.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
Working in such a demanding and specific environment as Health shaped me to specialize in the field, to the point that it became a passion, a way of life. Always focused on architectural design and looking for answers to every problem. I am absolutely convinced that the best results are produced when working as a team, and giving each member their place is a priority. Working in interdisciplinary teams is an unavoidable condition for us.
What kind of projects do you specialize in?
Although my specialization is directly related to Health Centers or Hospitals, and to think of spaces to contain the most complex processes that can occur in a building, I consider that Architecture is Architecture always, it should not be a determining factor as is usually thought. , If not the opposite. We have learned to develop projects that can be carried out in such a way that the rest of the building continues to function without alterations.
We are constantly searching for alternatives that allow us to optimize work times, taking extreme security measures and reducing the risks inherent to our profession. This allows us to face Projects of all kinds and scale; We find it enriching to think of homes or commercial premises, and we all face them with the same emphasis and motivation. From Hospitals from scratch, or Master Plans, to restorations of buildings cataloged as “Architectural Heritage”.
What place does Interior Design occupy in your Projects?
Working learning with Hugo Salguero imposes a superlative value on us in our search for fantasy. Achieve pleasant and comfortable spaces for those who inhabit them, with special care in controlling light, color, sound and the necessary equipment.
What are your challenges for the future?
We have been traveling a path in the permanent search for a language that identifies us.
We are aware that our task depends on those who “open the door for us to go play”, and we are grateful for that.
The best honorary is the recognition of those who place their trust in us.
That is our biggest concern.
