Alfredo Ghierra

Alfredo Ghierra is a passionate architect and urban planner deeply invested in the preservation of Montevideo's architectural heritage. He has been a prominent voice advocating for the importance of maintaining the city's historical buildings and the memories they hold for its residents. Ghierra's recent work includes a documentary that highlights the relationship between urban architecture and the community's collective memory. With a focus on the challenges posed by modern urban development, he argues that the fate of Montevideo's architectural identity is intertwined with its social fabric. His ongoing campaign, Ghierra Intendente 2025, aims to raise awareness about these issues as he prepares to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of his project.
