ARCH_Cemetery
The project is an underground
cemetery sited in Hammondsport,
NY. Its design is mainly focused on
the assumption of light as a space
carving vessel. It deals with notions
of space compression and release
through a series of ramps that ad-
dress light travel through space.
Media for drawings was Ink on my-
lar and white lead, while the rockite
model was made out of a casted
mold of 3D milled foam.

“Pavillion” - Section and Elevation Drawings [Ink, white lead on Mylar]ARCH_PavillionThe project initiated as an
analytical study of object (a
glass bottle), the design of a
vessel, and a scaled transfor-
mation of such vessel into a
human scale pavillion for the
object.

ARCH_Rome Peace Center
Rome, Italy. The project is based on the connection of three clusters through a main exhibition hall spine. The project has a large opening onto its courtyard that visitors may access on their way from the Colosseum on Via Claudia. The other entrances onto this courtyard are much smaller in attempts to compress the space experienced by the visitor as they enter a much larger one. This phenomenom is reminiscent of entrances onto Roman piazzas. The courtyard is shaded by Roman trees that are installed on pools within the courtyard. The multipurpose hall screen can also be used as a way to project announcements for outsiders to see, with the possibility of having outdoor movie screenings during times of warmer climate. The exhibitions spine is glazed to be able to integrate elements of the courtyard into it as part of the “exhibit”.
ARCH_Motherboard
Campus designed for Roosevelt Island, NYC. The main objective behind the project was to acheive a flexible design with several possibilities for potential growth and expansion, while meeting the needs of a campus that will be built over time and under changing circumstances. Project was in collaboration with Marcela Ramírez and Felema Yemaneberhan.
SITE PLAN
FURNITURE_ChairThe project was focused on the
design of a continuous surface
connected through box joints
that are purposefully hidden
and revealed. The only material
used to produce the chair was
sheets of poplar wood.
This project was a submission for a Furniture Design class challenge at Cornell University, the “2x4 Challenge”. We were assigned to transform a
regular 2x4 into a piece of furniture. Its design was focused on the building of topography through striation and wood lamination.

“The Armor” is an abstraction in metal
of the female muscular system. It was
fabricated as part of a Digital Fabri-
cation Studio taught by Prof. Bernard
Cache. The armor was made water-
jetting the various sheet metals out
of a larger piece sheet metal. The
pieces’ corner were folded and then
bolted to each other in order to create
the armor.
