Miguel Vidal
Architect, Consultant, and Father in Rancagua, Chile
I am a Chilean architect with over 17 years of experience leading and coordinating small, medium, and large-scale architectural and construction projects. I hold an International Master's degree in BIM Management, which defines my current work methodology.
My portfolio includes significant airport projects, such as the architectural coordination of the new Santiago International Airport in Pudahuel with Luis Vidal + Arquitectos in association with Aeroports de Paris, and the development of the reference design for the La Araucanía and El Tepual airports in Puerto Montt for ARCADIS Chile and the Chilean Ministry of Public Works' Airport Directorate. I am currently contracted to develop projects for CODELCO Chile, one of the world's largest copper producers, working on new offices, expansions, renovations of industrial facilities, cafeterias, locker rooms, etc., and heritage restoration projects.
I hold a degree in Architecture from the University of La Serena, a diploma in Geographic Information Systems from the University of Chile, and an International Master's degree in BIM Management from Zigurat, Barcelona. I use Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and the entire Autodesk Construction Cloud ecosystem and Microsoft platform. I currently have a B1 level certificate in English and am always eager to improve my fluency.
Outside of the office, I enjoy running, cycling, and paddle surfing. I love exploring cities (I've visited cities outside of Chile such as New York, Washington, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Naples, Verona, Munich, Prague, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Lima). I love listening to vinyl records, sharing a coffee, and always listening to rock music, one of my favorite genres.
I am currently working at CODELCO Chile in the Rancagua city office and I am looking for new opportunities abroad to improve my English and gain new work experiences in other cities. From there, I would love to contribute my experience in developing architectural projects using BIM methodology, whether in teams in the United States, Australia, or another English-speaking country.
