"Don't just make beautiful places, make sure they work."
Marcos grew up on the Island of Puerto Rico, where he developed his passion for design and architecture. During his college years, he had the opportunity to live in Rio Piedras, where he could experience life in the city on his own and his interest in urban design began. During his years of study and professional work, he worked on several urban mixed-use projects in the San Juan area as well as historic preservation projects in the colonial city of Old San Juan. Marcos joined the Plusurbia team in 2021, where he has worked on various master plans, historic surveys, and design competitions.

background / experience / Vision /

Marcos earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Design and a Master’s in Architecture from the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus. He served as a research assistant for the CIUDAD program, which focused on promoting urban initiatives in Puerto Rico.

Marcos has worked in several architecture firms with an emphasis on urban design and historic preservation. Ortiz Lopez works with the design team using 2D and 3D programs as a method of representation to achieve the desired project renderings and results.

Marcos believes in promoting an urban lifestyle in a sustainable way through responsible and inclusive design and planning. Our cities must respond to the particular and general needs of the population, and it is our duty as designers to ensure that each person lives in a safe and dignified environment.
