María Tula G. Méndez is a Spanish architect and urban planner based in Spain, working under the names @territografias and @mirardibujar. Her practice uses drawing, mapping, and graphic tools to investigate territorial relationships and ways of inhabiting space. She co-founded Traza Territorio (formerly Improvistos) from 2015 to 2023, a studio focused on urban consultancy and participatory process. She is currently active as an independent professional and consultant at Hiedra Estudio.
The portfolio features a research-driven drawing practice rather than commercial repeat pattern work. The visual language includes abstract territorial marks, cartographic layering, and experimental ink and water studies exploring movement and material dynamics. Work tends toward a formal, process-oriented aesthetic rather than decorative pattern.
Documented tools and skills: hand drawing, Adobe Suite, AutoCAD, GIS, and facilitation of participatory processes. Her practice includes graphic recording, participatory mapping, and illustrated urban planning documentation. She also documents work using AI animation tools for experimental moving-image pieces.
Documented project contexts include urban planning illustration (Plan de Regeneración de Colonia Urpisa), editorial illustration, participatory process facilitation, and public space mapping. This is primarily a research and civic practice rather than a commercial surface design business.
Architecture degree with specialisation in Urban Planning and Environment (ETSAM-UPM); Master's in Drawing and Contemporary Graphics (Bellas Artes-UCM); Expert in Cooperation for the Development of Human Settlements (ICHAB-UPM). Co-founded Traza Territorio 2015-2023. Currently independent with urban consultancy at Hiedra Estudio.
The portfolio features abstract mark-making and territorial graphic language rather than surface repeat patterns. The work documents natural systems, urban territories, and participatory processes through drawing. Repeat structures visible in some selected images likely derive from territorial observation rather than commercial pattern development.
