Professional Work 01 CAF New headquarters International competition in Caracas Venezuela, 2008. Ten Architects. Office of Enrique Norten. Honorary Mention, International Design Competition. The new headquarters for the Corporation Andina de Fomento (CAF) is conceived as a detonating element of the new north south axis that will connect the central valley with the Caracas mountain range, with vegetation and Geography taking a leading role. This project expands the number of ground floors public spaces and connects two large urban parks. It also promotes the pedestrian and vehicular flow between urban sectors, public spaces and new developments. Plazas, parks, mass transit stations, paths and various urban ac- tivity centers are allocated along this new axis, which also sets a framework for a breathtaking view to the Avila Mountain. The proposal doubles the public space of plaza Altamira and Promote public transportation by providing extra parking spaces directly connected to an important mass transit hub. Along the axis an increase of density is proposed for the Altamira Sur district.10 9. 11 10. 12 11. 13 12. Professional Work 02 Colonia Obrera Venice Biennale 2008. Delekamp Architects. Office of Derek Dellekamp. The Colonia Obrera is a neighborhood of Mexico city which was developed in the beginning of the 1900s, as a housing quarter for working class of those days.It was founded for industry workers, artisans and countrymen that would work in the center of Mexico City. Since then the urban fabric has remained practically the same as it is today. All though there has been an inclusion of subways, metro bus, a major freeway (called Central Axis or Eje Central), and many transformations that have happened in the central core since then. The contradiction of this neighborhood is that although the city has evolved, in many different ways, the identity and scale of this neighborhood has remained intact, so how come the city has grown to an unprecedented scale, without transforming this area? The reasons why this has happened are not the purpose of this project, but the ways to create higher quality housing, with high density, taking advantage of the existing infrastructure and proximity of the city center. This project stretches the limits of common sense by preserving the buildings in the area we believe have value, densifying without creating an urban ghetto, connecting in a low scale with other blocks, creating an almost 80% green footprint due to terraces and green roofs, exhacerbing the principles of a community through public space which at the moment are inexistent.14 13.

We believe in architecture as a discipline capable of creating values in the way humans interact. We believe in social interaction, cohesion and sharing resources. We believe in accessibility with independence.16 15. We believe in sports, bicycles and outdoor living in an enclosed city space.We believe in privacy inside an artificial ecosystem which is the essence of a city.We believe in a programmatic hybrid, in space and in the capacity of an individualto take over it. 17 16. Professional Work 03 Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver Forum of the Future Leed Building proposal for the University of California Davis, 2010. Ehdd. Office of Charles Davis. Sustainable Architecture. The aim of this project was to propose a zero energy building for the University of California Davis. The program consisted in the development of educational facilities for environmental studies. As part of the client requirements the building incorporates the office for the Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Our first approach for the proposal was to design two different massings, each varies in functionality and operation. Important topics like optimum orientation, wind flow, daylight- ing, and the use of local materials were the foundation of a very successful and high quality development for sustainable design.18 17. 19 18. 20 19. 21 20. 22 21. 23 22. Professional Work 04 Smith Vosler House Residential House in San Rafael Ca, 2010. Nilus Design. Office of Nilus de Matran. Residential Project, Under Construction. Located above the hills of the San Rafael Mountains, the Smith & Vosler family decided to restore their house. The proposal not only addresses the existing space but also expands the volumetry of the house by the creation of a sec- ondary tower. One of the primary requirements of the client was to transform the southern wood facade into a curtain glass wall. This deci- sion turned the project into a challenge; which consisted in understanding the thermal comfort performance, to develop a solution that avoids over heating. In response to that we de- signed a trellis above the terrace to provide shade. This project is currently under construction.24 23. 8 76 54 3 2 1AAALL EXISTING WINDOWS TO REMAIN UNCHANGED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OFDINING ROOM WINDOWS - W2.1, W2.2 AND W2.3W2.2 IS A NEW WINDOW IN EXISTING OPENING AND WINDOWS W2.1 AND W2.3ARE NEW WINDOWS, ALL TO MATCH EXISTING.

Academic Projects 05MorphoLogicalEducational FacilitiesA thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degreeof Master in Architecture in the graduate division of UC Berkeley.Committee in charge: Susan Ubbelohde, Tom Buresh, MarcLitalien, & Peter Bosselman.The aim of this thesis was to explore the parallel recovery andevolution of Buildings and Landscapes through time.MorphoLogical Restoration seeks to maximize the potential ofpostindustrial sites through decades of sequential architecturalinterventions. This study asks how the preserved architectural el-ements in the former Bayview Hunters Point Naval base couldstay alive and yet be adapted to evolve over time.After the 2030 Challenge I believe that Architecture is confront-ing a period of re-configuration and is more aware of futurechallenges. It represents an open door for new ideas, technolo-gies and possibilities.The project consists in a continuos and periodical adaptivereuse strategy of a military base into a Media Park.-Against the current proposal of redevelopment for a footballstadium, I believe that the existing historical buildings havegreat potential to be recycled.The buildings that are located on site offer the spatial qualitiesto be restored into a continuos and connected complex.Performance Goals of the Project:Envelop would be preserved and readapted.26Program would be active and changeable.Spatial Configuration would be flexible and dynamic.Module would achieve maximum spans.Skeleton would provide maximum rigidity. 25. 27 26. 28 27. 29 28. 50 ft 50 ft 58 ft 50 ft 40 ft100 ft55 ft 58 ft 55 ft 200 ft 5815 ft30 ft15 ft46 ft46 ft46 ft3046 ft46 ft2031URBAN INFILL 03 29. 8 ft 58 ft 58 ft 100 ft 70 ft 27 ft 120 ft75 ft 24 ftGROUND PLAN 31 Ground Plan Level 01 +8.00 Scal1:3000 18 37 75 150 30. 32 31. 50 x 45 sq ftVERTICAL SPACE FRAMEprefabricated structure is delivered to site for verticalexpantion + cantilievers construction50 x 45 sq ftSTEEL REINFORCEMENTstructure is reinforced with a new modularity thatallows more flexibility, adaptability & rigidity in spatialconfiguration 33REVEAL STRUCTUREas a response to the program requirements, parts ofthe facade get demolished to create a series ofpublic plazas 32. Academic Projects 06MorphoLogicalMedia ParkA thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degreeof Master in Architecture in the graduate division of UC Berkeley.Committee in charge: Susan Ubbelohde, Tom Buresh, MarcLitalien, & Peter Bosselman.A Media Park represents the perfect bond of education andnature. The proposal brings together a social, technological,environmental and cultural program.Social: The project would offer primary education, job oppor-tunities, social participation, recreational programs and also asense of community.Technological: An implementation of an integral energy trans-portation system, the construction of educational facilities ofhigh performance, and finally the promotion of green sustain-able technology.Environmental: The project not only recovers but also expandsits habitat and biodiversity. It is respectful of the environment bythe recycle of landscape and buildings. It also saves land bya construction strategy of Urban Infill (by densifying the edu-cational facilities footprint, the project releases vast areas forlandscape architecture, recreational areas and open space).Cultural: The park would offer, active educational and culturalprograms, that would reinforce the identity of the local com-munity. Also recognizes its history by the preservation of impor-tant architectural buildings and by the construction of TheHunters Point History Museum.Objectives of the Project:34Secure the remediation, rehabilitation and re-densification of the site.Reorganize and optimize the access, circulation and attractions of the site.Activate beneficial sustainable cycles for the area and for the local community of Bayview.Connect the area with the neighborhood and with the rest of the urban fabric. 33. 01CLEAN UP source: Vanal Facilities Engineering Command Parcel E Feasibility Studytest sites: not toxictest sites: not toxic 02 ACTIVATION heavy metals oak tree sVOCs cyanide community gardens insecticidespermaculture p arcel e pesticidesoak tree hydrocarbons diesel motor oil meadowLAND HEALING SEEDINGREFORESTdeveloping of a cap for protection First phase/ fertilization of land reforestation strategyand clean upgradient from oak to meadow AC CESSRE CR EA TIO WET LAND SNA LOPENAL DESIGN CENTER A Y PLAZ ENTR DIGCOMMUNITYGARDENS ITPERMACULTURESPAC TREEL HING WATCBIRDFLOWERGARDENSAND EGRASSLANDS MA SHIN RUGRASSLANDS PLB/ AZ MEA FA AD& S RME PE RS CIA M OWL E ARK VE ET NT S S DOG PARK RAPID BUS TRANSIT TRUCKS ROUTEFLOWER GARDENSCIRCULATION PERMACULTURE MAIN PLAZA SHRUB/MEADOWS COMMUNITY DOGPARK WETLANDSBIRD WATCHING OPEN SPACE GRASSLANDS TREELAND GARDENSvacantvacant Media Park Bayview HunterActivities ProgramPoint & Events Lectures/Concerts wetlands Auitorium 20,000 SFHistory Museum 40,000 SF Temporary/Stable ExhibitionpondCulturalDigital Media Lounge 60,000 SFRestaurant/Bar/ Caffe/Festivals11% pondCommercial Workshops/Diplomats/Open Studios picnic DesignMediaLabs100,000 SF picnicmarsh dog parkMediatheque 100,000 SFWorkshops/Exhibitions/Competitions BEACH pondmeadowindustrialEducationalCenter marsh COMMUNITY GARDENpreseve lookouts Farmers Market 150,000 SFFood & Flower Festivalshike GRASSLANDS streams recreational areaDog Park100,000 SF Dog Festivals pondmain plazaAgriculturalSpecial Tour TIDAL MARSH field shrubs 35Bird Watching100,000 SFCommunity Gardens100,000 SF Workshops/Trainings lessons/ Diplomatspicnic area playground courts campopen spacelookoutspicnic Bayview Waterfrontpicnic Park parkpath mediathequeMountain Biking/ Bike Lanes/ Hikes30%Open space Tree Forest 200,000 SF landfillEcological visitor centermarsh media lounge RecreationalFlower Gardens 200,000 SF Flower Exhibition/ Workshopscreek marsh labsmediamedia park picnic lookoutspicnicworkshops museum design workshopsrecreational areaPermaculture Lands 200,000 SFWorkshops/Trainings lessons/ Diplomatslookouts transport Paths/Looks outsWOODS secondary plaza Bike Trail Shrub/Meadows 200,000 SFrestore picnic Bird watching Paths/Looks outsWet Lands 300,000 SFlookoutsWild & Passive59% Sport fields/Pathsyear 2011 year 2030 (proposed) Open space 800,000 SF year 2030 (proposed)70% Landfill/Industrial/Vacant80% Nature/Leisure/Recreational/EducationalSport fields/Paths Events/Activities & Proposed ProgramCommercial/Cultural Grasslands 800,000 SF 34.

Academic Projects 08 Biomimicry Globe Fish Elasticity Inquiries Studio M Arch UC Berkeley, 2011. Professor: Maria Paz Gutierrez. Implementation of Biomimetics into the creative design pro- cess. This project consisted in the development of a pneumatic structure by studying a living organism. As part of my personal research I focused in The Globe Fish and his capacities to expand and contract his spinal chord. Thousand of years ago, The Globe fish used to be very slow, and easy to be captured. Through the course of time & evolution he developed two de- fense mechanisms: the first one was to become poison by eating bacteria, and the second was to inflate himself by filling his body with water. Once his body is inflated, the metamorphosis that his spinal chord experience is an incredible method to study, mostly for structural elements that have torsion, expansion & contraction. In response to that, I invented a bio-dynamic pneumatic struc- ture that has the ability to be expanded and contracted by air pressure; A structure that later was incorporated to Generative Components as Parametric design.A B C D E F G H I JK L M N O P46 1 23 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 45.

Academic Projects 09The Mekong River ProjectElasticity Inquiries Studio part II M Arch UC Berkeley, 2011.Professor: Maria Paz Gutierrez.Incorporation of a pneumatic structure into a dynamic land-scape in the Mekong river area.Project submitted to KERB competition, Melbourne Australia.The aim of this proposal was to design a system that wouldallow farm production of local communities of Mekong, dur-ing the monsoon and rainy season.In the past years, research has proved that communities offarmers had been greatly affected by floods and greatly un-stable confronting: disease, hunger and loss of land.In response to that I designed a dynamic structural foundation,with a pneumatic unit prototype that has the potential to bevertically stacked. Each module would have a different func-tion that would provide each family the basic needs to surviveThe modules would be conformed by a farming bed, a housingunit, a storage unit and a water cistern. By being stacked verti-cally they would create a self-sufficient life cycle that wouldmaintain the community on site during the flood season.The result proves to be a self-generative grid that could bedeployable, transportable and easily constructed. A progres-sive dynamic landscape that has the abilities to produce andsurvive.50 49. 51 50.
