Domingo Arancibia Tagle founded the Normal studio in Chile in 2019. His work stands out for linking construction and cultural identity through a unique perspective. In 2021 he was recognized by the Chilean College of Architects as the best architect under 35.

He has exhibited his work in Chile and abroad, participating in biennials and design forums focused on social innovation and material heritage, and has been included in support programs for young Latin American architects.
In parallel, he has taught courses and given lectures internationally on architecture, territory, and craftsmanship. He currently serves as president of the Arch Crafts Foundation, an institution dedicated to strengthening the relationship between traditional crafts and their territories through architectural, cultural, and research initiatives.
