Daniel Otero Pe帽a
Assistant
Daniel Otero Pe帽a is an architect and urban designer with extensive experience in landscape research, GIS mapping, resource-sensitive planning, and teaching.聽He is a PhD candidate in urban and landscape planning at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Studies (LOCI) at UCLouvain, where he also teaches architectural design to graduate and undergraduate聽students. His research, within the Landscape, Architecture, and Built Environment (LAB) research institute, explores the spatial dimension of urban metabolism and its applications in landscape infrastructure design, speculative cartography, and its relation with open space networks.聽
In addition to his academic activities, he has developed his independent professional practice and collaborates regularly as a consultant in urban and landscape design projects.聽In Caracas, he co-founded and directed the architecture collective聽adjkm, a multidisciplinary office specialized in the design of cultural facilities and urban speculations.聽Daniel has taught and led architectural design studios at the聽Universidad Central de Venezuela聽and has been invited as a design critic and external tutor in various known institutions such as聽KULeuven,听ULB La Cambre Horta,听ESA Paris,听Politecnico di Torino, PUCP Lima, and聽Universidad Sim贸n Bol铆var, among others.聽
