Doctoral research focused on the study of the image and cultural construction of women architects in 20th-century fiction cinema, focusing on Spanish and Ibero-American cinema.

read_moreThis doctoral research examines the "right to the park" using a mixed-methods approach—combining a literature review, spatial audits of case studies, and interviews with adolescents—to explore spatial exclusion and safety from a gender perspective in Latin America. Ultimately, the thesis proposes context-sensitive public policy actions to dismantle Western-centric urban models and promote spatial justice in public spaces.
read_moreThis doctoral research explores the convergence between architectural heritage conservation and sustainability, examining how to achieve decarbonisation in protected buildings through circular renovation strategies without compromising their historical value. To this end, it proposes an empirical methodology based on real in-situ data collection and life cycle assessment, moving beyond the inaccuracies of conventional theoretical models and providing rigorous criteria for decision-making in heritage architecture.
read_moreThis research examines how domesticity, gender, and dissident identities are represented in architectural discourse and housing design in Spain from 1982 to the present. It studies how spatial configurations, relationships, and forms of inhabitation challenge or reproduce conventional models of domesticity.

The project was submitted to the 2023 call for “Knowledge Generation Projects” (Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento) under the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, within the framework of the Spanish Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021–2023.
read_moreThis doctoral thesis examines the role of women architects in the conservation, restoration, and protection of architectural heritage in Aragon between 1970 and 2010. From a feminist perspective, it reassesses their professional contributions and examines the historiographical, social, and cultural factors that have contributed to their invisibility and to the lower valuation of heritage intervention within canonical architectural history.
read_moreThis research project focuses on the continuous monitoring of indoor air quality and environmental conditions in residential dwellings through the measurement of CO₂, PM1.0, PM2.5, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), radon, temperature, and relative humidity. The study aims to assess indoor environmental quality, occupant comfort, ventilation performance, and exposure to airborne pollutants.
read_moreRuralREGEN investigates the specific challenges of energy renovation in rural housing in Spain, analysing the characteristics and energy performance of the rural residential building stock, its renovation potential, existing policies and funding programmes, and the barriers that hinder renovation in rural areas. The project aims to provide an evidence-based diagnosis and formulate recommendations for renovation policies and programmes better adapted to the specific conditions of rural territories.
read_moreThe LocalREGEN project was a 3-year coordinated research initiative funded by the Spanish Ministry that successfully developed a life-cycle methodology to evaluate local residential decarbonization strategies through advanced data modeling and real-world IoT sensor monitoring.
read_moreThis research project focuses on the identification, evaluation, and optimization of construction solutions for architectural projects, with the aim of improving material efficiency and cost-effectiveness while ensuring full compliance with applicable building regulations.

read_moreEcoREGEN developed an integrated approach to the energy renovation of social housing and urban regeneration, combining physical, environmental and socio-economic indicators with technical, cultural, urban and legal considerations. Awarded before the creation of the research group later known as GIA and now Built4Life Lab, the project played a key role in bringing together the researchers who would subsequently form the group.
