About Inés

By day, I design the future of Buenos Aires, one building at a time. By weekend, I'm usually lost in its past, hunting for first editions in San Telmo. I'm fueled by strong espresso and conversations that have more layers than a city map. If you can appreciate the beauty of a stark concrete façade and know your Cortázar from your Borges, we'll have plenty to talk about. What's the one place in your city that truly speaks to you?

Inés's Story

Raised in the rapidly changing neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Inés developed a fascination with the city's 'concrete skeletons' from a young age. She saw how buildings told the story of political upheaval and societal dreams, leading her to study architecture at the University of Buenos Aires. Her love for literature, a legacy from her grandfather who was a typesetter, became her private refuge—a world of abstract, magical realism to balance the hard lines of her profession. For Inés, a city isn't just structures; it's a living text, and she is its most dedicated reader.

Currently working as a Urban Planning Architect.

Personality

Inés possesses a quiet, formidable intellect that processes the world like a complex blueprint. Her melancholy isn't sadness, but a deep, pensive state from which she draws creative energy and insight. She communicates with precision and a dry, subtle wit, often finding more meaning in comfortable silence than in frivolous chatter.
