Below, one will find a selection of architectural projects from my portfolio. You will see housing projects in Colombia, including both multifamily and single-family residences. Additionally, a few professional projects that have not yet been constructed have been chosen to illustrate and exemplify my capabilities as a designer.
In 2019, I won a call to conduct research as part of a master's program, focusing on the influence of tourism on the territorial development of the municipality of San Agustín, Huila, Colombia. Below, I provide a brief summary and indicate the institutional repository where it can be found:
San Agustín - Huila is a municipality with invaluable natural and archaeological wealth; these characteristics place it as one of the most important tourist references in Colombia. However, the integration of local communities into the dynamics of the exercise of tourism and the benefits it generates has been limited. To know which aspects of governance – or its absence – have influenced the weak and ineffective involvement of local communities, this research carried out a case study, using primary and secondary sources of information, The analysis showed that the integration of the local population to the tourist activity is part of a scenario of distrust towards agents that are perceived as exogenous to the territory. This distrust may be explained by three factors: 1) the historical colonial trajectory and current dependence of the municipality; 2) the emergence of tourism as an activity aimed at perpetuating the colonial narrative and, finally 3) the centralized and technocratic management. mainly of the institution in charge of the protection of the archaeological heritage.

Alcalá is a residential complex located on the outskirts of Bogotá, developed by the company Amarilo SAS, consisting of 76 independent housing units, as well as a Club House equipped with a swimming pool, gatehouse, and technical units. In this project, I played the role of overall leader in the field of Architecture, focusing especially on the design and technical coordination of the common areas. The team was comprised of Pablo Moreno Escobar as general director, Claudia Portela in urban planning, and architects Paula Zúñiga and Lucía Zuluaga.
The urban design of Alcalá is characterized by its oval layout, which concentrates a linear park and various recreational spaces at its center. Brick is the main material used in the facades, complemented by a careful selection of colors in the paint. In addition to architecture, our team, PM Architects, was in charge of furniture and urban element design, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetic integration throughout the project.

PORTERÍA - ALCALÁ
Edited by Camilo P
The entrance gate of the Alcalá project was conceived as a threshold building that clearly marks the inside and outside of the housing complex. It consists of three elements: 1) a delimiting portico (threshold), 2) a central volume for visual and vehicular control, and 3) a lateral volume for employee services and waste area. Materials were projected for this building, which included cappuccino-colored brick, palette and colored paint for facades and interiors, and wooden elements and petals for the entrance.

Edited by Camilo P
The clubhouse is a communal building that contains wet areas, including a heated swimming pool for children and adults, bathrooms, and changing rooms. Additionally, it features collaborative work areas, storage rooms, a social area called the social kitchen, and a game room for the entertainment and enjoyment of young people.
The building's design is based on the intersection of two wings at a 90-degree angle. This intersection forms a central courtyard, which serves as a prelude to the entrance of the building and is conceived as a multipurpose outdoor gathering space. It includes a central area with a bonfire and a native tree characteristic of the Bogotá savanna.

DESCRIPTION
This project was developed during my tenure at Pm Architects, where I served as the lead designer. It is a building located in the city of Armenia, in Colombia, adjacent to Parque Fundadores. It was conceived as social housing, modular, efficient, and designed with the demands primarily of young people in mind. There are 165 apartments on 15 levels, with a ground floor featuring commercial premises located around the perimeter of the building. On the 15th floor, there are amenities such as a gym, laundry room, and social lounge, while on the 16th floor, there is a club area with Jacuzzis and outdoor recreational areas. It has 4 basements.
It is a building with 4 facades, with a commercial passage on the first level. On the typical residential floors, the layout is organized through a central perimeter corridor, which is naturally ventilated. The materials used were mainly fiber cement panels and glass on the facade. Interior divisions are made of gypsum/fiber cement panels with acoustic insulation.

The gatehouse of Hacienda Samaria was conceived as a threshold building that clearly delineates the inside and outside of the housing complex. It comprises four elements: 1) a delineating portico (threshold), 2) a central volume for visual and vehicular control, 3) a lateral volume for employee service areas, and 4) a technical volume. Additionally, it features a green facade (garden). These were designed using materials such as capuccino-colored brick, a palette of paints for facades and interiors, and wooden and metallic elements for the entrance.

The undergraduate thesis project in Architecture, submitted in 2016, entails a proposal for an anthropology and territory museum in San Agustín, Huila, specifically located in the northern part of the municipality, only 2 km away from the San Agustín Archaeological Park. The conceptual focus of the design revolves around golden ratio modules, conceived as sculpted stones to create spaces that evoke the local archaeological heritage.
Regarding the urban approach, it centers on the revaluation of the landscape formed by the ecosystem of the “Las Moyas” stream, which constitutes the southern boundary of the municipality. After passing through San Agustín, this stream suffers from a high degree of pollution that flows into the Magdalena River. The project proposes to be situated in the first urban zone through which the stream passes, suggesting the development of trails that foster interaction among the municipality’s residents, tourists, and the ecosystem, aiming to recover and highlight the importance of the stream in San Agustín.

ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION - INHAUS
The contest consisted of proposing a prefabricated and modular housing solution for a company that builds housing in Spain. Our proposal was based on creating assembly modules with different modulations that would generate various configurations. The central space of this proposal is the courtyard. The proposal was developed together with architects Diego Alvarez and Gustavo Rivera.

ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION - EDIFICIO ENSAMBLE
Architecture competition proposing the design concept for the new music building at the University of Los Andes. The concept involved creating a composition where the ground floor would function as a human hub – serving as an articulating element for the circulation paths. Euclidean approach in geometry: 1) cylindrical shape in the basement + open plan on the first level + 2) 3 volumes primarily consisting of classrooms. I was an architect collaborator in the proposal. The team was composed of architects Pablo Moreno, María Otero, Paula Zúñiga, Natalia Franco, and Nicolas García.
