CDP (Catalina) Rey Hernández, MSc

I am a Chilean architect and landscape designer with a special interest in resilient place-based approaches to create design alternatives for a sustainable future. I have over eight years of experience working as an architect and landscape designer in Latin America and Europe.

As a researcher I focus on territorial design and counter-design in riverine landscapes. My doctoral research aims to investigate how river management through landscape design and territorial planning has generated socio-material transformations that directly affect river communities and their livelihoods, generating local confrontations with imposed designs. Within this framework, I am particularly interested in investigating how these confrontations are supported through instruments of counter-designs and counter-cartographies.
