Influenced by the use of perspective in architecture, Mr Sala's figurative language is the outcome of a profoundly personal research memorial path that starts from a heartfelt adherence to vision, use of perspective and techniques in architectural representation. This imprinting of visual theory and practice began in 1976 with his architecture and photography studies, fundamental to his training, and was then joined by a lively passion for architecture drawing. Helmut Jacoby's "drawings" and use of perspective influenced him in the early years. His dedication and expertise in architectural representation drawing, the quality and precision of his architectural drawings and art and crafts resulted in commissions from many of the largest major development firms and most influential architectural firms between the '80s and the '90s; among his "drawings" include I.M.Pei & H. Coob Architects, Associates (Boston), Halhadeff Architects, London- Milan, Suter + Suter and Burkhard & Partners Basel.
Mr Sala received his education in the early years at the University of Architecture in Buenos Aires and the Institute of Architecture of Venice (IUAV), where he received his Doctorate in Architecture in 1998 with the highest honours for excellence in urban design. One year later, he received a habilitation as an Architect in Italy and in 2002 in U.E. He attended the PhD Doctoral Program in International Architecture Research Villard d' Honecourt at École National Supérieure d'Architecture, Paris Bellville, Architecture University of Rome and Faculty of Architecture of Venice.

Student under James Stirling during his architecture studies in the 80s at Instituto Universitario d Architettura di Venezia on the project for the New Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice. The influence of these studies was followed by a robust period of conception and design of numerous large projects, including the Industrial Fair of Bozen and the Public Library in Matelago, Italy.
He continued as a fellow researcher at Dep of Architectural Composition with Prof. Mauro Lena. Mr Sala's research interests include Le Corbusier's work of the 1920s and 1930s and the history of modern architecture and design. For several years, he worked and studied Le Corbusier's domestic architectural plans and other work (1914-1935), which included a study of all the architectural drawings and documents associated with these projects. He has developed a methodology of approach to architectural design for students of the first training cycle in degree courses in architecture. This research in 2010 became a book.

His comprehensive expertise in architecture influenced his vision and practice to capture the building.
