MARIA CARRIZOSA

Principal + Lead Architect

​

urbanSEED is an urban collaborative and nimble organization, and we strives to bring an interdisciplinary perspective and approach. Our strong network of cross-disciplinary skill-sets and expertise bridge architecture, planning, landscape architecture, sociology, economy and development. 

​

For every project, we seek strategic partnerships to  bring the necessary knowledge and experience to address each project needs and the context’s specificities of place.

​

We believe in participatory processes and strong place-making engaging end-users and clients from early stages of the process to provide continuous feedback and review sessions, and respond to local needs and aspirations. 

We know that creating a strong positive impact in communities, our clients and cities can reap the maximum return. 

​

We also acknowledge that success requires the integration of a learning-loop process to establish strong parameters for measuring ‘success’ and apply any lessons learned. As such, impact evaluations are key components in our process in order to identify lessons learnt and provide appropriate solutions and alternatives for the long-term maintenance and sustainability of projects.
