Rodrigo Guajardo

Rodrigo Guajardo serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute's School of Architecture while concurrently directing Production Facilities, bridging academic instruction with operational resource management. He teaches ARCH-131 Technics, a 3-credit course examining building systems, material applications, and construction methodologies within architectural practice.

His research focuses on Architecture with specialized expertise in Building Technology, Construction processes, Architectural Design integration, and Sustainable Design principles. These areas emphasize practical implementation of technical systems in creating functional, environmentally responsive structures through hands-on fabrication and material exploration.

As Director of Production Facilities, Guajardo oversees workshops and technical resources essential for architectural prototyping, ensuring students access advanced fabrication tools for model-making and full-scale construction projects. This dual role reflects his commitment to unifying theoretical design education with real-world building execution, fostering technical proficiency across the architecture curriculum.
