I believe that every individual in this world has the right to experience great design. My name is Juan Fernando Calderon, I am a 23 year old Architecture and Graphic Design student from Quito-Ecuador currently finishing my studies in the United States.
I love every aspect of my field of study, especially being able to explore people’s feelings through design. I give importance to every space that is filled with an organism and designing every detail of it. I can achieve a conscious design by giving importance to small details, trying to always include the local elements in an area and using as much as possible the resources provided by each project site.
Some of my interests include traveling around the world, as well as experiencing new cultures. These di�erent perspectives always add to my experience and understan-ding of humanity. I am an active person in athletics as well as my pursuit of architectural knowledge. My greatest strengths include the conceptual stage of design and harnessing multiple software programs to produce a unique design outcome.

CONCEPT AND FLOOR PLANPROJECT STATEMENT
FOR BURKINA FASONON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONDESIGN, FUND AND BUILD
SPRINGFIELD, MO | FALL 2014-2015
For Burkina is a non profit organization created by Drury students and alumni who had the desire of making a positive impact in education in a rural area in Africa. Our goal is to design, fund, and build a primary school in Burkina Faso. Our mission is to create a sustainable and dignifying architectural design that will celebrate the culture, environment, and materials of the region to further empower the communities of Burkina Faso. Our total funding goal of $32,000 will cover the construction of a primary school that will serve over 135 children. The construction of the school will be performed by the members of the group together with the help of the local community.
The initial program called out for only three classrooms, but with the added overhangs on the east and west sides, additional outdoor classrooms are being provided. The outdoor classrooms serve as a space for gathering for social development before and after school. Each classroom has a stage for the teacher to present from. The veranda serves as the main circulation path, and the ramps on either end are compliant with US standards. The front of the room is aligned with the door and a window to maximize light on the blackboard.

STRUCTURE AND VENTILATIONThe school is composed of repetitive modular elements for ease of construction. The thatch ceiling and cane sun-shading are sourced locally and do not add to the budget. The trusses are made on site and are made from common steel forms and rebar. They are light enough to be set in place by several workers.The CMUs are offset to create openings, but every other core is aligned to allow for added structure where needed. The buttresses provide greater structure for window and door openings, and protect against direct sunlight during sunrise and sunset. All CMUs are made on site, and with this design, only 3 CMU sizes are needed, eliminating the need for cut CMUs.

URBAN BALCONIES PATH IN PROPOSED SITE
PROJECT STATEMENTThe main concept of the proposal for the “Global Schindler Award Competition” is to add a new layer to connect the city through a new horizontal system of circulation and public activities. The addition of a new layer for pedestrian mobility and the public space will be achieved through new urban spaces that can support a broad set of activities for the residents. The Linked Urban Balconies will gradually transform each district of the city depending on the urban dynamics. It will work from a sequence of “acupuncture points”. Through the integration of mobility -- the new layers of pedestrian circulation and public activities, I envision that the city will regenerate itself as a resource.
SQ DISTRICT MAPThe site includes wide and narrow streets with few space for pedestrian circulation. The proposal is to create a new layer of balconies that will be exclusive for the use of pedestrians also including more public spaces.

URBAN BALCONY SECTION CUTThe Section cut shows the structure and main components in the balconies that are inserted into the buildings. A void was created from the 1st to 3rd floor of selected buildings in site. This gives an opportunity to connect the existing streets to the new urban balconies, which allow more space for the pedestrian circulation and more public spaces with programs for the use of the citizens.
Different building types in site, influenced public and private program. The proposal suggested for the first floor of the existing buildings to be public as well as the space underneath the balconies in the void, to have more space for local economy.

URBAN BALCONY PATH VARIATIONS
Lack of public space, social activities, green areas, and pedestrian pathways, led to the design of the urban pods and circulation spaces for the use of the citizens.
The width of the balconies provide space for circulation of pedestrian traffic, accompanied with the openings in the buildings for social gatherings. The urban pods that are shown in the perspective contain the programmatic features for the use of the people.

AERIAL VIEW OF THE PARK FROM THE SOUTH
There are few opportunities in time to completely rethink an urban area. Quito, a vibrant and expanding city in Latin America relocated its international airport, clearing up a space of more than 100ha in its urban core. The opportunity to develop Llaxta Urban Park will change the way citizens experience this valley-city, making the democratization of public spaces possible while providing cultural integration and recreational space for grassroots economic development. Green areas, transportation, accessibility, shopping and dining are integrated to create a symbiosis of man – nature to empower citizens and boost new development that adapts to the requirement of a metropolis. This proposal was designed for the international competition “Symbiotic Cities“

AERIAL PERSPECTIVE OF PLAZA MAP OF THE CITY OF QUITO
The perspective shows the main plaza with the prototype markets that will sell local products ranging from agricultural to clothing made by people from the area. This will be one of the main activity spaces in the park due to its concurrency for the need to buy locally grown products, also being an anchor to attract users to the park.
15
The market prototype form comes from the indigenous weaved clothing that mainly contains the shape of the Andes mountain rage. The idea was to make interactive markets for the users and owners, so that they can store their products safely in cabinets but also close their store when not in use. This markets will also foster social inclusion between the person who produces and the buyer in a daily basis.

This bamboo bridges made on site with local hand labor will be the circulation method inside the park but also will engage the surrounding streets to the interior of the park. It will also include market programming in the interior, giving many opportunities to the local community to offer their products to the users of the park. The main aim of the connections and the markets, its to create a more inclusive society by the interaction of the different social classes in the same space.

“The experience by transitioning between the mundane daily world to the Supernatural experience. Interior-exterior spaces were generated by the use of a portico that enhances the circulation.” “The Japanese Buddhist belief of ascending a mountain as a process of enlightenment, is designed through the 3 different buildings, EDUCATION. SANCTUARY, AND COMMUNITY.”

Greentown Joplin worked together with Hammons School of architecture to design a tornado resilient home as a model for the community of Joplin. The result of this was an ecofriendly design that had as a goal to reach net zero in consuming energy and reusing water. This model home would serve as a b&b for people from Joplin or outside Joplin to learn about the new technologies. The design included programmatic functions of an American residence of 4 people with all of the needs necessary in a house. It featured the use of solar panels, open spaces that would be able to re-adjust, glazed windows, and 14 inch insulated enclosure.
