Arlington High School (AHS) is situated in Arlington, MA. The project will serve High School students, Pre-k students and it will also include town offices. The design of the new Arlington High School supports interdisciplinary learning, community programs, and the town’s goal of a carbon-free future. The concept for the school begins with the organization of educational programs such as: athletics, humanity studies, performing arts and STEAM along a central corridor/spine. Involved from the beginning of the project, I worked closely with senior staff members to meet and understand the town’s needs, as we provided visual documentations all the way through CA.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Preparing precedent studies and presentation of various design options.
• Researching materials and products.
• Working with the Senior Designer to create phasing drawings.
• Working with the Senior Designer and Contractors to design a bridge connector between new and existing construction.
• Creating advanced visual perspective, sections and plan drawings for both presentations and award entries.

KTGY ARCHITECTS
Located in Palo Alto, Portage is a twelve 3-story townhouses in a Multi-family residential site. We worked on the development of three different building designs, which aim to respond to the architectural diversity and character of the existing neighborhood. After a thorough site analysis, we proposed 4, 5, 6 , and 7 plexes, each composed of 3-4 individual units used to create a composite building.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Working on the design of Building A (the building included in the next page.)
• Preparing precedent studies and presentations of various design options.
• Researching materials and products for facade studies.
• Modeling in SketchUp new construction and site context.
• Coordinate renders/ perspectives with consultants.
• Working on the development of the unit plans in REVIT.
• Working on various material boards for city hearing presentations.

«COMMUNITY BOATHOUSE»
STUDENT WORK
The project initiated as an analysis of the given site conditions, then moved to a more focused and personal analysis within existing principals, thinking about the possibility for a Community Boathouse for professional Rowing. Community Boathouse is not only a vessel for the sport, but it also serves as an opportunity for the community to learn more about all the aspects of rowing.
The design emerged from the finding of geometry through the cultural conservation of the site, meaning that all the programmatic aspects of the boathouse were shaped by the trees around it. This process led to an abstract approach when adapting geometry to programmatic use,which established a logic to the abstraction. It consisted on a series of curves (in areas where there were trees) and straight lines (in areas without trees,) and the unique typology of the roof aims to represent the dynamic terrain elevations within the site.

«EMBRACING FRAGMENTATION»
STUDENT WORK
On June third of 2018 an estimated 4,000 residents were forced to evacuate from the village El Rodeo in Guatemala. Rock and ash exploded from the crater of El Volcan de Fuego devastating the surrounding villages.
The disaster in El Rodeo left the village in extreme environmental, infrastructural, and social fragmentation. Directly caused by the eruption was the environmental fragmentation. This left the village covered in ash, plagued by earth-quakes, mudslides, and polluted rivers. These environmental factors caused additional infrastructural fragmentation to occur. This included: direct damage to housing, community structures such as schools and health centers, as well as agriculture and transportation. After these communities were destroyed, the residents were burdened with a fragmentation of their own, which they carried with them to their various temporary communities. Many residents were forced to realize deaths, disappearances, and serious health threats of their relatives and neighbors. This unique pattern of fragmentation defined the environment for these individuals and their new communities.
Responding to the structures and communities developed by displaced residents of El Rodeo, my thesis seeks to address the various levels of fragmentation, that is created by diverse groups of individuals during the search for emergency housing during and post-natural disasters. Ultimately, all these pieces together effortlessly captures the essence of everyday life, by rooting itself in a specific place, time and society. The project aims to address the environmental, infrastructural, and social aspects of communal living in Guatemala. Ideally, these differing and fragmented parts will come together to create a complex, ever-changing, and diversified whole, allowing each resident to define their own emotional connection to the various spatial elements within the site.

«ART»
As a RISD graduate, art has always been a fundamental part of my creative process. I find it rewarding to look for inspiration in all branches of art whether it is analog, computer-aided, sculptures, writing or storytelling. All of these diverse disciplines have unique pieces that further reinforce my influences as a designer and artist. Some of the things that inspire my work are my ethnic background, community, and personal experiences.
