José I. Kempff Email & Phone Number

I am a licensed architect with great passion for computation, building technologies and sustaibable real estate. Well trained in major design softwares, focusing specifically on computational tools for the built environment at multiple scales; along with traditional art techniques and new media. I have experience in fast paced work environment and meeting deadlines, both due the education I received. I consider myself as a relisient person with creative problem solving and analysis skills, with permanent self-motivation, energy, assertiveness, and initiative. I have got strong communication and organizational skills.In 2015 started the Bachelor of Science in Foundations of Architecture at the Polytechnical University of Madrid (UPM). At the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM), I had the chance to learn from architects and professors with amazing careers and experiences, both in academia and practice. That is where I really fell in love with the built environment and understood that it was not only the buildings you see or live in but the way you approach the idea, project and conclusion, from theory to analysis in many scales. In Madrid, I have been elected as class delegate and I served in different classes’ councils representing the student’s voice in different areas of interest for the school.During my studies I experienced interning as architectural designer at Sommet & Asociados, a young studio in Santa Cruz where I had the chance to share some already acquired knowledge. Thereafter, I worked as a collaborator intern in Aparicio Arquitectura, a studio led by Rolando Aparicio, winner of the V Iberoamerican Architecture Biennale. Both Bolivian studios made me understood the Latinamerican reality when it comes to design.Later on, I have contributed as a freelancer within a project in Stuttgart for Redecon, developing construction details and plans, while complementing my education as an exchange student at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with the Erasmus+ Program Scholarship.I graduated from the Master of Architecture at ETSAM within the Juan Herreros’ Chair, getting the Spanish and EU architectural licensure with an NAAB accreditation. Currently, I am working at Ensamble Studio in Madrid as I continue exploring the boundaries of architecture and urbanism in the American and European context regarding history, theory and practice; identifying and analyzing their interrelationships.
