YULENE LOYO GUZMAN
I am a person passionate about work. After graduating in software engineering,, I became a consultant to help companies in digital transformation processesand the implementation of management systems to improve their processes and productivity. Throughout my career, I have led initiatives in various projects, always with a focus on sustainability and inclusion..
As a technology consultant, my enthusiasm has been greatly enhanced by connecting with Robert de Miguel. From the very first moment, the synergy was palpable; we share core values about equality and social justice.
In my constant search for inspiration, I wonder how I can contribute to improving people's lives through technology.
My interests are particularly focused on the challenges faced by people with functional diversity in their daily lives. I have complemented my knowledge with a specialization in universal accessibility at the Official College of Architects of Madrid (COAM), which has allowed me to deeply understand the importance of creating accessible environments.
My goal is to implement technological solutions always accompanied by accessibility that generate a positive impact on society, as well as strengthening the economy, demonstrating that accessibility is an investment in the well-being and dignity of all people. Together, we can build the present for many and a future where technology continues to be a bridge toward equity and diversity.
We are convinced that accessibility has an impact on the mental and emotional health of individuals.
The positive impact of universal accessibility increases participation, in various sectors:
- CULTURAL
- EDUCATION
- TOURISM
- TRANSPORT (everyone moves freely)
- WORK LIFE
- LEISURE
- SERVICES

Architecture and accessibility: together building a more humane and dynamic future.
I am Robert de Miguel, and I would like to share with you my journey as an architect and citizen, as well as my commitment to accessibility in design and construction.
From my perspective, architecture transcends the purely technical; it involves a more human, dynamic, and sustainablevision. I seek to holistically integrate sustainability and accessibility, both at the individual level and in projects, organizations, and society in general. Accessibility, in my opinion, is a dynamic and evolving concept that adapts to new circumstances and manifests itself flexibly and hybridly by integrating various factors. This vision allows me to create more humane environments where we live, relate, work, and interact with our community.
I am a graduate architect from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, where I acquired a solid foundation in the principles and techniques of architecture, urban planning, and landscaping. Motivated by social concerns, I had the opportunity to enrich my knowledge through a master's in urban design at Harvard University. This experience allowed me to delve into the complex dynamics that influence human behavior, urban development, and its impact on both society and the environment. Additionally, I completed a specialization in universal accessibility at the Colegio de Arquitectos de Madrid (COAM), where I understood the importance of designing with an inclusive perspective that considers all functional diversities. I am convinced that we live in a human, diverse, dynamic, and sustainable world.
As a person with reduced mobility due to an accident, I have a unique perspective, experience, and concern in the field of universal accessibility. My commitment to this cause is firm, as I witness daily the challenges and discrimination that people face in this context. I experience firsthand how decisions related to accessibility impact not only the lives of those of us who face these difficulties but also the sustainability of our communities.
I have complemented my training in accessibility through courses offered by the Colegio de Arquitectos de Cataluña (COAC), where I have explored topics such as neuroarchitecture. This training allows me to approach accessibility from multiple perspectives, understanding that it is not limited to the physical. For me, accessibility also encompasses cognitive, communicative, and sensory dimensions, which is essential for creating inclusive and truly accessible environments for everyone.
My personal experience strengthens my commitment to creating more dynamic and humane environments that favor the integral development of each individual, group, company, institution, and society as a whole. I deeply value accessibility, and I consider it fundamental that spaces are enjoyable and that various activities can be carried out easily and safely.
Action is the engine that transforms thought into concrete results, and it is through it that we can truly advance and make a significant impact. As the UN says, "Nothing about us without us." It’s time to act!
I hope that together we can continue building a better world for everyone. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
