Purpose + passion
"Architecture is something that has a certain fantasy, just like poetry. It is not a rigid thing, something resolved with a ruler and bevel, it is something that arises like this, like a dream"
Oscar Niemeyer.
BEYOND THE CLICKS:
THE PERSON BEHIND THE DESIGN
I am Carlos P. Mercado, a life student, graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture, with over 10 years of experience in architectural design and 3D visualization, including 4 years spent developing my career in the United States. Originally from the Dominican Republic, I began my journey in architecture driven by a passion for blending art and technology to create innovative and meaningful spaces.
Currently, I work with GRA Design Studio and collaborate with Amalgama, as well as with several structural engineering companies. This allows me to bring multidisciplinary expertise to my projects, enriching my designs and expanding my impact across various sectors. My work spans a wide range of projects, from residential homes to large-scale commercial developments, all driven by my dedication to quality and innovation.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working across various countries, including the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, offering architectural outsourcing services to companies. I specialize in leveraging BIM systems to create integrated and efficient design solutions that push the boundaries of architecture.
As an educator at UCNE, I find joy in the exchange of knowledge—teaching what little I know, yet learning so much more in return. It’s a beautiful cycle, where the more I share, the more I realize how much there is to understand, growing together with my students, one lesson at a time.
Collaboration has been key to my growth, working alongside talented teams and adapting to diverse workflows to deliver high-quality results tailored to the needs of each project. Whether designing residential spaces in New York or commercial projects in Europe, my mission remains the same: to craft environments that inspire and serve people.
For me, architecture is not just a profession, but a continuous pursuit of creativity, learning, and growth. Every project is an opportunity to challenge myself and contribute to the world in meaningful ways. And I still dream of a better world for everyone.
