Throughout his career, this keynote speaker has had vast experience with timber, building from housing projects, to educational and cultural centers with timber as a construction material. Among his many works, there is the housing project “Villa Verde” of 2010, which was built on the basis of structural timber frameworks of radiata pine. Also, it is worth mentioning his work in the reconstruction of the “Centro Cultural (Cultural Center) of Constitución”, a city in the South of Chile affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami of 2010. Here, the architect mainly used wood to build this center, both in its structure and coatings. Another example of his work with wood as a construction material is “Campus Arauco”, a higher educational center in the south of Chile, in which he mainly used laminated wood structures and radiate pine.
