Hello, I’m José Chitongua, an Architect with a sensitive approach to space, materiality, and human experience. I understand architecture as a practice capable of transforming how people inhabit, feel, and perceive the world. I create experiences that articulate concept, technique, and construction, shaping projects that adapt to different contexts, typologies, and audiences. I have full command of digital tools and representational techniques, complemented by hands-on work in drawing and physical models to ensure spatial precision and constructive coherence. Rigor, vision, and a commitment to continuous learning define my practice.
