Daniel Otero Peña
Assistant
Daniel Otero Peña is an architect and urban designer with extensive experience in landscape research, GIS mapping, resource-sensitive planning, and teaching. He is a PhD candidate in urban and landscape planning at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Studies (LOCI) at UCLouvain, where he also teaches architectural design to graduate and undergraduate students. His research, within the Landscape, Architecture, and Built Environment (LAB) research institute, explores the spatial dimension of urban metabolism and its applications in landscape infrastructure design, speculative cartography, and its relation with open space networks.
In addition to his academic activities, he has developed his independent professional practice and collaborates regularly as a consultant in urban and landscape design projects. In Caracas, he co-founded and directed the architecture collective adjkm, a multidisciplinary office specialized in the design of cultural facilities and urban speculations. Daniel has taught and led architectural design studios at the Universidad Central de Venezuela and has been invited as a design critic and external tutor in various known institutions such as KULeuven, ULB La Cambre Horta, ESA Paris, Politecnico di Torino, PUCP Lima, and Universidad Simón Bolívar, among others.
