My name is Fernando. I am currently an Associate Professor in the Universidad de la República (Uruguay), and the Coordinator of the Center for Digital Integration (CID). I belong to the National Research and Innovation Agency (ANII) and have been involved in SIGraDi since 2010. My journey with SIGraDi has been both enriching and transformative. Having had the honor of chairing two of our conferences -SIGraDi 2014 and the upcoming SIGraDi 2023- I have gained invaluable insights into the workings of our organization and the challenges and opportunities we face in the digital era of architecture and design. These experiences have equipped me with a solid understanding of our community’s needs and aspirations. My vision for SIGraDi is to reinforce the bonds between our member universities and to propel SIGraDi as a stronger, more connected organization. I believe in a future where SIGraDi stands at the forefront of fostering innovation and collaboration across our diverse academic and professional community.
