My group included Dolin Diaz, Farah Ossaimee, and myself. We took inspiration from the Blade Runner films directed by Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve in order to create a space that embraced the grand, brutalist, and futuristic architecture of Blade Runner. Another key concept is to frame the user’s experiecnes, movement, and views in a similar way that film and architecture do. This is done by incorporating viewports that can act as seating, gathering spaces, shelter, windows, and paths. LED lights were placed to outline to emphasize the brutalist form and viewports. The interior features a grand water projection wall that plays short films in the main entrance.
This project is based on designing to provide a cutting-edge, interactive and community-centered research center & museum typology that must address the intersection of architecture and cinema on the empty NW corner of the Detroit Institute of Arts (5200 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48202).

02 THE VESSEL 21 CARRERA 丨ARCH 1400丨 ENRIQUE LEDESMA
From vacant run-down buildings to a destruction causing fire, throughout the years Capitol Park has experienced a lot desolation and destruction. Despite the hardships, this half-acre triangle has been seen as a social hub for the people. Capitol Park has undergone many renovations. Capitol Park is still being restored and developed. Keeping this renewal in mind, we can design a museum that highlights the importance of change and development for Capitol Park. The goal of this project is to design an infill museum in a vacant lot located in Capitol Park. My concept for this infill museum started by reflecting on the history of Capitol Park. Learning about the desolation and renewal of Capitol Park impacted my design responses. I wanted to create a museum with a form that looks as if it were developing or changing in order to represent the growth and renewal of Capitol Park.

INTERPRETIVE ARCHiPLAY06 INTERPRETIVE PIECE
This interpretive piece is based on the “architecture of the mind” shown in the film Inception by Christopher Nolan. The task for this project is to switch ideas with another group and expand on their idea. For this interpretive piece, my group (Dolin Diaz, Farah Ossaimee, and myself) switched projects with Marcus and Seth. The intent of this interpretive piece is to create architecture that plays with color and gravity in order to create a maze-like experience that is disorienting and playful. This is done through video format. The bottom right corner has a QR code which can be scanned to view the video.

07 THE LENS
The intent of this interpretive piece is to focus on details and close-ups of an everyday object in order to showcase that object in a new light. This interpretive piece is inspired by the film Blade Runner by Ridley Scott due to its detail oriented close-up shots. My partners Dolin Diaz and Farah Ossaimee chose to work with a glass cup. Essentially the glass cup adapted another role apart from its role of holding liquid and being used for drinking. This new role is to function as a lens. This new lens distorts images and allows for disorientation to occur. This is done through video format. The bottom right corner has a QR code which can be scanned to view the video.

As a designer, I am interested in preserving and exposing Mexican culture and heritage outside of the realm of architecture. One of the many ways I do so is through the art of fashion design. This section of my portfolio features a collection of formal attire that focuses on portraying Mexican culture in a modernized and formal manner. On the last page of this section, I featured a dress designed by myself that was fabricated by local artisans in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. By having local artisans craft the physical dress, it allowed for the community in Chiapas to be directly involved in the making and spread of the Mexican culture, thus adding a layer of authenticity and significance to the design.

This design is inspired by the Quetzal. The Quetzal is a vibrantly colored bird found in Southern Mexico to Panama. The Quetzal is an important symbol in both Aztec and Mayan culture. The word quetzal means “precious” or “sacred” in several Mesoamerican languages. It was considered to be divine and sacred. The Quetzal Dress embodies the divinity and sacredness of the majestic and colorful bird. The long train of the dress symbolizes the Quetzal’s long elegant tail feathers.

As a designer, I am interested in preserving and exposing Mexican culture and heritage outside of the realm of architecture. Besides fashion design, I utilize jewelry design to accomplish this. This section of my portfolio feautures earring designs inspired by the rich, colorful, and vivid culture of Mexico. There are four collections that embody some of the Mexican culture. The first is the Talavera Collection. The Talavera is a type of majolica (common pottery with metallic enamel) from the states of Puebla and Tlaxcala. The tradition of its manufacture date back to the 16th century. The colors used in its decoration are blue, yellow, black, green, orange and mauve.

The second collection is the Barro Collection. Barro is the Spanish name for clay. Its uses are range from construction, the manufacture of containers to store water, crafts such as clay vases, decorative elements and sculptures, etc. This collection is inspired by the many uses of barro and the prehispanic times.

The fourth collection is the Textile Collection. The collection is inspired by the textiles of Mexico, which make up an importnt aspect of its culture. The designs on the right are inspired by the brightly colored shawl known as El Sarape. The earrings on the far right are inspired by the floral Mexican embroidery known as El Bordado. The earrings that are the second furthest from the right are inspired by the floral apron worn with the traditional dress from the state of Veracruz.
