While studying at the University we formed a team to compete in a National Competition for architecture students led by UNESCO.
The goal was to design a kindergarten in a marginal neighborhood. Our proposal was to go for a design that encourages interaction of
young children with their environment thus fueling a much neededsocial regeneration of the population.
The 1st price we got proved to be a good statement.SURFACE 2.750 m²PROJECTED 910 m²

My thesis project consisted in a research and development center focusedon urban agriculture. The density location in downtown Santiago served as an agent for conceiving a project to boost the productive vegetation in the
city as an alternative mitigation to air pollution, heat island effect and existence of unproductive and unsafe vacant lots.
The project also considered an exhaustive study of the scope of theproposal, structural design, air conditioning and services.

In Guixé Architects office we won this commission with a proposal that significantly expanded the exhibition space,
allowing more interaction among researchers through a nonexistent central space while creating a new access, through
a nearby park, giving a powerful for a wide public realm.

In the Southern region of Chile of Araucanía where vestiges of the Mapuche people and German settlers of the XIX century are
mixed, we developed the design of a pedestrian walkwayconnecting the main square with the main commercial avenue.
The project consisted of a network of pavement paths arrangingand expanding the business outdoor outreach. We took special
care in universal accessibility, in the progression of materialityand design for public furniture, low energy consumption
equipment and efficient irrigation of green areasSURFACE 9.800 m²PROJECTED 9.800 m²

The commission from the city council was to design a sports complex in a vulnerable population to drug trafficking. The project considered the
inclusion of a public park, a social center, football fields and athleticprogram. We set around a unified large park of sporting activities linking
the various events around sports and athletes.We configure a large covered space and light managed protection for
viewers from the intensity of sunlight and rain. For this we turn to a formthat allowed us to reduce the weight of the structure and assembly days
required for installation while minimizing its footprint in the site

In the first project we visited as CooIdea we were commissioneda recycling center in northern Chile.
The main concern we took was to use recycled materials forconstruction and to set up a space for environmental education
and incentives to recycling. We base the project on a large metal structure to act as canopy under which the container-rooms and
the collection centers are located. All vegetation was proposedin order to not require irrigation and reduce maintenance

The project is a research studying the behavior of air pollution in the streets of the city. We realized that we needed to create a platform for more detailed
measurements than the existing display. Measurements would be taken by a network of economic and mobile sensors that could transmit in real time and
computed jointly with other atmospheric, traffic and environmental factors.The first stage of prototype sensor equipment and the viewing platform is in
development and calibration.
BACKGROUND:
4.200 deaths a year in Chile attributed to air pollution in cities.
10.000.000 people living in satured áreas in Chile.
32 cities under hard air pollution in Chile.
11 air quality stations in an área of 15.403 km2 (Región Metropolitana).
75% increase in car pool in Santiago (2002-2012).
“Air pollution is the main task to be addressed by environment authorities in Chile”
