My name is Mabel Balbuena, an architect with Dominican and Spanish roots, passionate about architecture, urbanism, art, and design in general. My education at CEU San Pablo University and my life in Oslo have taught me to appreciate the beauty of the spaces we inhabit and to explore how these intertwine with culture and personal expression. Through my work, I aim to create meaningful connections between these fields, using design as a bridge that links architectural functionality with the expressiveness of art. My goal is to contribute to more inclusive and resilient environments that inspire and reflect the diversity of human experiences.
