Florencia Galecio Donoso is a Chilean architect (1998). He began his studies in 2016 at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, where he obtained both the title of Architect and the Master of Architecture in 2021.
His work focuses on the intersections between architecture, ecology and care, exploring how to project spaces that respond to the challenges of climate change from a scale both territorial and microscopic. In his master's thesis, entitled "Architecture between the immunological and the microscopic: the reconfiguration of the minimum existence through the act of care (coidar, cogitare) in the salaries of Atacama before the climate crisis", he raises a critical reflection on architecture as a care tool in the face of invisible threats, such as pollution or water scarcity. Through architectural devices such as capsules, bunkers and refuges located in the Atacama desert, Galecio Donoso proposes an architecture that not only mitigates, but also generates symbiosis with fragile ecosystems. His work is characterized by a project sensibility that connects body, territory and ecology.
