full bio

Hector Fernando Burga, Ph.D Candidate
Senior Consultant

Hector Fernando Burga was born in Lima Peru and currently resides in Miami Florida, where he conducts fieldwork for his PhD Dissertation. He is a doctoral candidate in the department of city and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley and holds a dual masters degree in town planning and architecture from the University of Miami. An architect and urban designer by professional training and an urban ethnographer by methodological emphasis, he is interested in the contradictions inherent to both the theorization of public space and the deployment of professional place-making practices in a rapidly globalizing city like Miami. These interrogations are framed by an understanding of critical urban theory, ethnographic methods and professional design practice.
