Research lines Her current line of research, `Landscapes of knowledge¿, addresses the relationship between forms of knowledge generation and meaning production, and territorial, spatial and landscape models. This line of research also includes the study of the processes of heritage preservation of the nature of the indigenous peoples of ancient Mexico and Galicia, for which she uses, as a cognitive tool, one of the richest elements of cultural significance in the landscape: a flower, the atzcalxõchitl flower of the Mexicas, thus integrating the research carried out in recent years on this Mexican endemic species, later renamed Flor de Santiago (St. James's flower). Sprekelia formosissima (L) Herb. This is an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary line of research between architecture, landscape, cultural history, botany, agroecology, political ecology, environmental history and sociology, philosophy, software engineering and neuroscience.
Keywords Landscapes of knowledge, cultural heritage, heritage processes, architectural theory, theory of knowledge, systematic botany, Flor de Santiago, cultural history, history of science, history of America, environmental sociology, political ecology
