Daniel worked for Fernanda Canales Arquitectura in Mexico City, where he was the editorial liaison and curatorial assistant for the book and exhibition Arquitectura en México 1900-2010 (Arquine / Banamex, 2014). Daniel also coordinated an extensive research on Mexican collective housing, published partially as Vivienda colectiva en México (Gustavo Gili, 2017), and Shared Structures, Private Spaces (Actar, 2020). He has also collaborated with Rozana Montiel Estudio de Arquitectura in several urban and collective actions and research.
