PORTFOLIO ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAM
THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE OF THE PONTIFICAL CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO AIMS TO PREPARE YOUNG ARCHITECTS TO BE AWARE AND TO COMPLETE THE LEARNING PROCESS BY BEING PREPARED, WITH THE NEEDS OF TECHNOLOGICAL AND DIGITAL ADVANCEMENT, SO THAT THEY CAN CREATE THEIR OWN VISION, METHODS OR CONCEPTS FOR THEIR DESIGN AND CREATION PROCESS. THE ASSIGNED CURRICULUM AND COURSES ARE READY TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE LEARNING. THESE COURSES WILL PRACTICE AND IMPLEMENT METHODS THROUGH WHICH THE ARCHITECTURE WILL BE REPRESENTED, RESEARCHED, PRESENTED AND DESIGNED, WITH THE AIM OF CREATING MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROFESSIONALS. THE COURSES ARE DESIGNED TO TRAIN PROFESSIONALS CAPABLE OF HAVING THEIR OWN IDENTITY, SO THAT THEY CAN SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THE FIELD OF WORK. WITHIN THE WORK CURRICULUM ARE HIGHLIGHTED THE COURSES OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO, ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION, ADAPTIVE CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION, SUSTAINABILITY AND TECHNOLOGIES, STRUCTURAL FRAMEWORK AND ASSEMBLAGES, LANDSCAPE, ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT, URBAN SCAPES AND COMMUNITIES, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AWARENESS, AND DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND FEASIBILITY. ALL COURSES FOCUS ON SUPPLYING ALL THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO TRAIN A GOOD ARCHITECT. EACH COURSE IS INDIVIDUALIZED, HOWEVER, AT THE SAME TIME THE CURRICULUM IS ORGANIZED SO THAT EACH COURSE COMPLEMENTS EACH OTHER. AS CONTENT OF THIS PORTFOLIO, THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COURSES ARE IMPLEMENTED, THUS FULFILLING THE OBJECTIVES AND REQUIREMENTS ASSIGNED PER SEMESTER, PER COURSE, IN ADDITION, ALWAYS PUTTING INTO PRACTICE THE COMPLETED OBJECTIVES OF EACH SEMESTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED.

ARCHITECTURAL FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN STUDIO I NATURE PAVILION COURSE DESCRIPTION THIS DESIGN STUDIO SERVES AS THE BASE FOR THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE'S STUDIO SERIES. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO FORMALLY INTRODUCES ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS TO THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES INHERENT IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND THE CONCEPTUAL AND PRACTICAL BASE BY WHICH ALL SUBSEQUENT STUDIO WORK WILL DEVELOP. THE FUNDAMENTAL THEMES TO BE COVERED WITHIN THE LECTURE AND STUDIO WILL INCLUDE, BUT WILL NOT BE LIMITED TO, THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF BASIC GEOMETRIES, DIAGRAMMING, PROGRAMMING. FORM, SPACE, SCALE, ORDER, SEQUENCE, CIRCULATION, AND COMPOSITION.

ARCHITECTURAL FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN STUDIO II ADVERSE LANDSCAPE - SHELTER HOUSING COURSE DESCRIPTION THIS DESING AIMS TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE CONCEPTS AND FUNDAMENTALS STUDIED IN THE PREVIOUS STUDIO WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF COMPLEX GEOMETRIES, CURVES. THESE CONCEPTS SHALL BE FURTHER ENHANCED WITH THE INTRODUCTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONCEPTS OF AMBIENT, TYPOLOGY, CAPACITY, TIME AND AN INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTIVE SYSTEMS. PROJECT PURPOSE THIS PROJECT AIMS TO WORK WITH THE ADVERSE LANDSCAPE, ITS POLLUTION AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT DIRECTLY. IN RESPONSE TO THIS, WE MUST WORK WITH THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND OF THEIR EXTERNALITIES THAT AFFECT YOU, TO CREATE AN ARCHITECTURE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THIS PERFORMATIVE.

ARCHITECTURAL FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN STUDIO II PROJECT PURPOSE AN ADVERSE LANDSCAPE IS THE OPPOSITE OF A NATURAL LANDSCAPE. A NATURAL
LANDSCAPE IN ITS SPLENDOR, IS A LANDSCAPE SUITABLE FOR HUMAN BEINGS, A CLEAN SPACE WITH THEIR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND ITS FLOURISHING FLORA.
ON THE OTHER
HAND, ADVERSE LANDSCAPE IS AN ENVIRONMENT POLLUTED OR ALTERED BY THESE EXTERNAL ELEMENTS.
POLLUTION
IS ALL THAT ELEMENT WHICH INTERFERES WITH THE
NATURAL THING THAT CHANGES IT, MODIFY IT OR AFFECT IT FOR EVIL.
THE CONDITION OF MY LANDSCAPE IS CONTAMINATION BY AIR FROM FACTORIES, THE "SMOG" EFFECT. THE "SMOG" EFFECT IS A CHEMICAL MIXTURE OF SMOKE AND FOG; IT IS A TYPE OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFIDE AND OXIDE OF NITROGEN, HYDROCARBONS AND MILLIONS OF PARTICLES OF LEAD, AMONG OTHERS. ALL THESE SUBSTANCES ARE COMING FROM THE CHIMNEYS OF THE INDUSTRIES, THE FUMES FROM HEATERS, THOUSANDS OF CARS, AMONG OTHER DETONATORS.
DUE
TO THE
CONDITION OF THE SITE, THE POLLUTED AIR COMES EAST, BUT DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE MOUNTAINS TO ITS AROUND IT REMAINS FLOWING SO THAT IT CONTAINS IN ONE PLACE AND
CREATES MORE POLLUTION BECAUSE OF THE DENSITY. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IS WHEN THE HOT AIR FROM THE LAYER LIMIT OF THE TROPOSPHERE RISES AND TROPOSPHERIC COLD AIR LOW, THIS MAKES YOU CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE AND AVOID AIR TO RUN NORMALLY.
MY APPLIANCE RESPONDS TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE SITE, SO ITS CIRCULAR SHAPE, WITH
A FEW FOREIGN ELEMENTS THAT COME OUT OF THE APPLIANCE AND REVOLVE AROUND THIS, FOR THUS CHANNEL AIR.
THE
APPLIANCE HAS A FEW HOLES WHERE AIR ENTERS BY
PRESSURE, DUE TO THE EFFECT OF CROSS-VENTILATION". THE DEVICE HAS THREE LAYERS OF FILTER, PRE FILTER, FILTER ACTIVATED CARBON, AND
"HEPA
FILTER".
COCONUT
ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS ARE USED IN THE PURIFICATION OF AIR, WATER AND GASES, TO REMOVE OIL VAPOR’S, PARTICULATES, ODORS AND COMPRESSED GASES. THIS ACTIVATED
CARBON FILTER IS COMPLETELY RE-GENERABLE USING CLEAN WATER. THE APPLIANCE HAS A HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THIS WHERE IT GOES TO CLEAN UP AIR MAKE AN EFFECT OPPOSITE TO THE EFFECT OF THERMAL INVERSION. THE PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE IS THE DESIGN
PROCESS THAT RESPONDS AND REACTS TO ADVERSE LANDSCAPE, THROUGH ARCHITEC-
TURE.

ANALYTICAL DESIGN & REPRESENTATION STUDIO I: HISTORY AND THEORY THE FORTEZA BUILDING IS LOCATED ON THE MARINA STREET IN PONCE, PUERTO RICO. THE BUILDING WAS DESIGNED BY THE PUERTO RICAN ARCHITECT FRANCISCO PORRATA DORIA AND WAS BUILT IN 1926. AT THAT TIME, THE FORTEZA BUILDING WAS THE FIRST COMMERCIAL CENTER OF THE CITY. ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING IS IT’S THE EMBLEMATIC STAIR MADE IN THE PLACE. THIS IS MADE OF CEMENT AND INTEGRATED “TERRAZZO”. AFTER A TIME OF ABANDONMENT, IT WAS DECIDED TO RENOVATE THE HISTORIC BUILDING AND TURN IT INTO WHAT IS NOW THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE OF THE PONTIFICAL CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO. THE AS-BUILT REALIZED IN THE STAIRCASE BEGAN WITH THE TAKING OF MEASURES USING AS REFERENCE THE WALLS NEXT THIS STAIR, THIS FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF SKETCHES.

THE ELABORATED PROJECT MUST DEMONSTRATE SKILLFULNESS IN THE APPLICATION OF THOSE KEY CONCEPTS AND AT THE SAME TIME BE PERCEIVED AS A COHESIVE RESPONSE TO THE ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM. SEMESTER OF ACADEMIC EXCHANGE AT THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF COLOMBIA. THE ESSENTIAL OBJECTIVES OF THE SEMESTER ARE TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN A FIELD, CULTURE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.

DISTRICT PARK. THE
LOCAL URBAN AREA, CONSISTING OF COMMERCE, WITH
MOBILITY OF STUDENTS AND STREET VENDORS, IS CONCENTRATED A SECTOR OF RESIDENCE OF THE ELDERLY.
THE
EXISTING PUBLIC SPACE AND COMMERCE
GENERATES A MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND MULTIFAMILY ENVIRONMENT, WHICH CONTRIBUTES BENEFICIALLY TO THE URBAN SPACE OF THE PLACE, AND THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT.
THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT IS A HOUSING COMPLEX FOCUSED ON MEET THE NEEDS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE AREA. THIS COMMUNITY CONSISTS OF SEPARATE STUDIOS AND RECREATION AREAS FOR THE BENEFIT OF STUDENTS AND LOCAL CONSUMERS.
RECREATIONAL SPACES SUCH AS: SOCIAL GALLERY, GYM,
GAMES ROOM, STUDY AND TECHNOLOGY ROOM, RESTAURANT AND SOCIAL DINING ROOM, RECREATIONAL BAR AND SOCIAL TERRACE. THE PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE A SENSE OF HARMONY, COMFORT AND SAFETY TO RESIDENT STUDENTS, THROUGH THEIR PRACTICAL SPACES. IT PROMOTES THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOLAR ENERGY, NATURAL CROSS VENTILATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN AREAS, RECREATING A PART OF THE DISTRICT PARK WITHIN THE PROJECT. THE SIMPLICITY OF THE SPACES IS SOUGHT IN ORDER TO FEEL LIKE OUTSIDE, TO FEEL IN NOTHINGNESS.
