I chose architecture as a career to create unique spaces, but more than a career, it’s my life motivation: To make the next project better than the last. There is no small project, as there is no limit to imagination.

I like to describe myself as a double-facet designer. I have a Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and an architecture degree. Therefore, each line I draw is driven by creativity and measured by constructability and feasibility.

During my master’s, I discovered that practicing architecture can not rely on what others are doing. I have researched the conception of sustainable materials and their usage, as well as environmentally driven practices. Designing for the future is a

primary objective for my career path.

My career has seen me in roles as a designer and a construction manager, providing me with invaluable experiences and the chance to learn from a diverse team. I am a proactive individual,

always seeking new knowledge and eager to share what I’ve learned. I believe in the power of continuous learning and the value of learning from others.

Building Timeline

Vassar was one of the first colleges in the US to set a revolutionary idea at the time: Give women access to higher education.

Although 160 years seems too recent to have included women as professional degree-eligible recipients, it's also fair to say that the world has changed drastically since then; everyone can easily access a platform to be heard and hopefully understood.

The study underscores the pivotal role of three critical areas in the library: the Archives and Special Collections,

the collaborative spaces, and a new and inclusive entrance area to the building itself.

During the assessment and programming phase, efficiencies and deficiencies were revealed by understanding the library’s existing condition. These became drivers for the planning phase, which produced three options, each with a distinct level of intervention. These options are potential pathways that will shape the future of the library.

Option 1

New Entry at Archives and Special Collections

Option 1 proposes a new entrance at Archives and Special Collections, servicing the ground floor and located north of Thompson Library within Ingram Library.

This new entrance will not only enhance the visibility and accessibility of the Archives and Special Collections but also create a series of landscape areas, fostering a welcoming and inspiring environment for all visitors.

This option’s main goal is to promote the Archives and Special Collections section by providing an independent location and dedicated access. This ensures that the Archives and Special Collections receive the attention and focus they deserve, reassuring all stakeholders about the proposal’s commitment to this section.

New Entry and Atrium at Ingram

Option 2 consolidates all collaboration activities to make these areas a destination for students and faculty. A key feature of this option is the proposed enlarged atrium as an entrance at this location. This design element not only provides visibility and a center of gravity but also significantly enhances the overall aesthetic of the space.

The main goal of this option is to include new areas for students and faculty to collaborate in a large, open, daylit space. The openness and clarity of the spaces not only make way-finding throughout the library intuitive but also create a user-friendly environment that enhances the overall experience.

Option 3 New Entry and Atrium at Ingram and Lockwood

Option 3 presents a new atrium that spans between Thompson and Ingram/Lockwood, reaching from campus to Raymond Avenue.

This design is not just a ‘link’ between the exterior campus and the main quad, but a welcoming space that embraces both students and the community, making everyone feel a part of the campus.

The atrium will not only promote Archives and Special Collections and serve as a new collaboration hub, but it will also be a place that celebrates its own legacy and future growth. This emphasis on the atrium’s journey will inspire all who use it.

While option 1 is a comprehensive upgrade, its limited scope hinders tangible improvements to diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.

This option, though reserved, may not fully meet the desired goals in these areas.

Option 2, with its focus on the library and college’s goals, is adaptable and flexible. It not only provides a visible street address for Archives and Special Collections but also allows for expansion, ensuring it can meet evolving needs.

Option 3 is the most ambitious proposal, offering a significant intervention to the existing library. This comprehensive approach goes the farthest in achieving the library’s and the college’s goals of diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.

In a way, we have allowed and excused ourselves to have the minor human interaction possible, and isolation is now a possible option. However, quality living is rooted in establishing connections, feeling safe, and belonging.

2 Why do some places make us feel more attached than others? Is it because of the place itself or the people living there? In my research, I realized that our grandparents’ housing ideal was based on fostering connections within the community.

Healthy social interactions are an ideal that should be considered in housing developments since they are linked to mental health. Therefore, in this housing development, our primary objective is to form a community.

This mixed-use residential is a new ground-up 3-story with residential rental apartments and a first floor with residential amenities and commercial and service uses. The scope of the work leads to getting approval from the Village Planning Board.

The main goal of the building shape is to have a central courtyard that acts as a sponge hub, capturing rainwater and creating a habitat.

The building is conceived as a mass timber construction with a modular prefabricated facade. The module is 12’x12’ for the second and third floors. The retail space is located on the ground floor along side the road, as well as a plaza that serves as a buffer.

At the roof level, looking at the mountains, the green roof functions as a community space and serves as a thermal barrier.

Design Drivers Sustainability and Community 32

Community

Courtyard

Our design philosophy is centered around integrating nature and community into the housing development.

To this end, the building is designed to promote ‘complete street’ practices, ensuring mobility for all users, including pedestrians, bikers, and public transportation users.

Co-working spaces

We have also carefully considered passive design strategies to maintain interior comfort while letting daylight in, ensuring that residents and visitors feel comfortable and at ease in our development.

Also, the building is strategically connected to the Rail Trail, a key feature that enhances its accessibility and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle.

More than just a housing development, the project is a vibrant community hub. Our vision is to create a health and wellness destination that fosters a strong sense of community among residents and visitors.

In addition, the two wings of the building form a courtyard where a smart landscape design takes place: native plantings, no irrigation, and leverages on-site stormwater management systems, such as bio-swales stormwater planters, that maximize infiltration and minimize runoff.

The building is designed to offer a variety of interior and exterior amenities, including spaces for co-working, social gatherings, and retail. These amenities are strategically placed to encourage interaction and a sense of belonging, further enhancing the building’s role as a community hub.

The Cottage Pine Plains, NY, USA, 2021 Responsibilities: • Developed concept design and prepared permitting documents. Designed and modeled the project in Revit; produced visualizations in Enscape.

• Produced 3D models,renderings, and supporting diagrams to communicate design intent. Responsible for developing client presentations. Created client presentations to effectively convey design concepts and project progress.

36

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) encourage us designers to create functional spaces that use less square footage, with energy efficiency as a primary design consideration.

3 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are smaller, independent residential dwelling units located on the same lot as detached single-family homes.

Many cities and counties across the US have adopted ADUs into their zoning ordinances to help alleviate the US housing shortage and enable seniors to stay near family.

Given the zoning ordinance restrictions and the client program, this ADU was a design challenge. Therefore, the layout optimizes floor area and daylight. A daylight analysis was done so that the social core benefited from daylight while being energy efficient.

The south-facing glazing facade

frames the social core, which leads to an outdoor connection to the courtyard. The courtyard is delimited by the wings and becomes a flexible space fully integrated with the landscape.

The design process was a collaborative effort, with the clients being presented multiple layouts and exterior options. Their feedback and preferences were integral to the evolution of the design, leading to a concept that met their vision and needs.

This project is from my undergraduate studies. As a personal thought, our initial design steps are as relevant as our most recent ones. At that time, I was contemplating the influence of how a building presents itself to the different user types and how design can facilitate navigation.

4 The cultural center is located in Samanes Park (“Parque Samanes”) in Guayaquil, Ecuador. This park is the third largest in Latin America and has become an attraction for the city’s younger population.

Keeping navigation a first priority, I used axes intersecting at different angles. These circulation axes guide visitors from learning and professional workshops to a library, cinema, exhibits, and galleries.

With a dearth of spaces in the city that encourage cultural expression, the cultural center is a beacon for artistic expression and production, particularly for the younger population, inspiring and motivating them to explore their creativity.

Whether you’re an artist, a student, or simply enjoying a stroll in the park, the center is designed for easy navigation, allowing you to explore at your own pace and feel a part of our vibrant community.

Office and business buildings are sitting vacant in light of the widespread acceptance of remote work.

As a result, there is a growing trend of housing developments incorporating co-working spaces.

5 While some cities have space to continue expanding, denser ones like Washington D.C. may face the prospect of empty buildings in central areas.

The following diagrams were presented to developers, showcasing the potential benefits and outlining solutions for adapting office spaces into residential and mixed-use buildings.

It’s important to note that this initiative is not just about reducing our ecological footprint, but also about demonstrating our unwavering commitment to responsible and forward-thinking urban planning.

Interior Design North Carolina and New Mexico, USA, 2021-2023

Responsibilities: • At Ortega Design: Prepared construction documents and developed renderings for the interior renovation of lobby and communal areas. Designed and modeled the project in Revit; produced visualizations in Enscape.

• At Edge Architects: Developed 3D models in Sketch-Up, and produced renderings in Enscape.

60

I have worked remotely for two architecture and interior design firms using collaborative tools like BIM and work-from-home platforms like Microsoft Teams.

6 My preference for projects with existing condition restrictions is Revit, which enables us to overlay different construction phases, incorporate design iterations within the same base model, and rapidly generate interior render visualizations.

These projects include custom single-family homes and the design of amenities for multifamily housing developments.

Client input was not just a part of the process but a crucial element in selecting finishes and adjusting the overall style.

By sharing a 3D visualization model with clients, we significantly enhanced their feedback, making them feel valued and integral to the project, as they could easily navigate the model.

Our Home at Smokey Hollow Syracuse, NY, USA, 2023 NREL Solar Decathlon competition, Honorable Mention, 2020 SEED Group Responsibilities: • Conducted research on programming and accommodation strategies for residents with ASD. • Developed architectural designs and coordinated with related disciplines.

• Created detailed diagrams and managed post-production tasks.

76

Promoting and serving the public interest is an ethical canon of architectural practice I take pride in following.

Creating a sensory-safe design became a key priority, and passive and active design strategies were utilized to achieve Net Zero standards.

7 Our Home at Smokey Hollow is a 12 ADA unit for Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) residents.

The project, submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon (2020), is not just a potential net-zero building. It’s a potential game-changer for the ASD community.

This unique building, designed specifically for ASD residents, earned an honorable mention, showcasing its potential to inspire change and innovation.

One of the reasons I decided to join the competition was the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse and passionate team. This multidisciplinary team, consisting of engineering, landscape design, construction management, and business students, was instrumental in bringing this project to life.

The community the project is for also played a significant role, motivating me to invest time and effort. Families of the upcoming residents asked the developer to build a home for them to give them long-wanted independence, but with a design that acknowledges and caters to the needs of those within the autism spectrum.

The building, Our Home at Smokey Hollow, is located on land northwest of the Baldwinsville School District, 13.3 miles outside Syracuse. The site is an 8-acre green field surrounded by single-family homes, providing residents with a peaceful and scenic environment.

Our Home at Smokey Hollow project follows the following design drivers and impacts: Conceiving an energy-efficient building that achieves Net Zero, providing a sensory-safe space for people on the Autism spectrum, using design strategies like Biophilic design, choosing durable materials and equipment, and overall promoting health and wellness for the residents.

STRATEGIES STRATEGIES

IMPACTS

IMPACTS

The building is optimally oriented due south, allowing it to receive full sunlight on December 21st when the sun is lowest in the sky.

The site planning reinforces a sensory experience for the residents without overwhelming them, minimizes road noise, and allows privacy.

Stormwater management measures were taken to retain runoff on-site. Garden beds absorb roof runoff, while grasses absorb runoff from the driveway and parking lot. A bike path, a therapeutic farm, and a greenhouse are a few of the most unique design elements.

The greenhouse allows for horticultural therapy and the growing of cold-tolerant plants like herbs, spinach, and lettuce almost all year round.

The solar panel array mounted on the south-facing roofs will have an angle of 35 degrees, and the 241 panels on the north-facing roofs will have a tilt of 0 degrees. Altogether, the solar system will output 214,710 kWh annually.

The building features a dedicated outdoor air system that provides the inhabitants with 100% outdoor air. The air enters the building via an HRV, which thermally mixes the bathroom exhaust and supply air to temper the incoming air.

Minimalistic Design

Our design goals were established with a clear focus on creating an affordable, resilient, and efficient net-zero design. These goals were set to meet all the specific requirements of the intended occupants and client, with a particular emphasis on a sensory-safe design to ensure your well-being and comfort.

Residents are empowered with the freedom to choose between retreating and engaging in social interaction. This is why common areas have multiple exits, and nooks are strategically placed within the residential area, offering residents the autonomy to decide their level of interaction.

PVC Nest Pavilion Syracuse, NY, USA, 2020 Academic Project - MSc. in Architecture Modality: Individual Responsibilities: • Researched materiality from conceptualization through final application, providing recommendations to optimize material use.

• Designed and modeled the project in Rhino and produced visualizations using V-Ray. 86

I was motivated to pursue a master’s degree in architecture because I wondered what knowledge I needed to design for the future. I discovered that there is only one path, and it is through research that we fully embrace the future.

8 This research project focused on materiality. I realized I had selected project materials without fully understanding their properties, following only conventional wisdom.

I discovered how important it is to thoroughly understand a material, from its fabrication process to its end use, to unlock its unique qualities and potential.

The research objective was to uncover the truth about PVC and creatively apply it to design a pavilion.

The Pavilion idea came from altering the extrusion process to produce pipes in a nonlinear shape. On the pavilion, the resulting pipes are connected by simple fittings on tubular rings at different heights.

Given its lightweight arrangement, the structure will stand on its own. Heat and cold air will circulate and diffuse to expose the material’s functionality clearly.

PVC compound is a versatile material that offers many possible applications. It is used as a pipe material because it is rigid but can also flex under pressure. Also, given its durability and lightweight, it is used for exterior purposes in window and door profiles. To give the qualities mentioned above, PVC resin is mixed with additives that give it plasticity, for example. The manufacturing process of PVC pipes relies on heat and extrusion.

Proposed Master Plan

Original Master plan:

Proposal for f ffood orianted city

Green area Wetland

Extended wetland ffor irrigation

Green area next to wetland Pedestrian road

Pocket parks and health and wellness area

Vehicle roads ffor transportation Pedestrian roads added

In April 2017, China announced the establishment of Xiong’an New Area, spanning three counties in Hebei Province. The area acts a “core region” that contains economic, social and cultural features. It is meant to ease the pressure on Beijing, the capital.

The Building code doesn’t allow, for example high-rise buildings and encourages mid rise buildings with courtyards. The relation between buildings and public spaces define the characteristic of the city.

Although the current master plan provides wetland access areas, it should be taken in consideration the pollutants present, since this location was once a farm an agriculture area. Therefore, it is recommended to employ bio-remediation process that uses various types of plants to remove,transfer, stabilize, and/or destroy contaminants in the soil and groundwater.

Since keeping the water and green area relationship is the key, the proposed master plan adds another loop to the river as

a flood control, as well as increasing green area coverage for bio-remediation. Moreover, the green areas can be designated as open public areas alongside the wetland.

Additional to the expansion of wetland and green areas, the proposal contains to add urban farming and composting to the zoning ordinance.

In order to help with the food necessity and to mitigate the use change from agriculture zone to urban development.

The exponential expansion of landfills is a global concern. In China 61.2% of the municipal solid wast constitutes only on organic waste. Consequently, if methods like composting were employed, the amount of municipal solid waste could be significantly decreased. Therefore,it was established different methods of composting according to the land usage.

Food Production

To have food production, water, energy and nutrients are needed. On the proposed building typology, the water will be collected in roofs to go trough a filtration process, the nutrients will come from the compost of food waste, and the energy will come from the Bio Gas produced in the same composting process.

Different farming methods can be put in an commercial building. For example, a fruit bar, salad bar or a cafeteria with an upside-down tomatoes production can take place. Also, common areas can have a feature of food production, like the wall of the staircase can have hydroponic containers to grow vegetables like lettuce.

The Shape of Water Oroville, CA, USA, 2020 Academic Project - MSc. in Architecture. Modality: Group with Ishita Parmar Responsibilities: • Applied theoretical water harvesting and hydrodynamic principles to inform architectural design.

• Designed and modeled architectural solutions, creating visualizations, material studies, and supporting diagrams to communicate design intent.

112

I firmly believe that architecture has an ethical duty to design environmentally friendly buildings. However, I also recognize that the most impactful solutions are developed through collaboration with other scientific disciplines. This is why I value and enjoy working in multidisciplinary teams, where each member’s expertise is integral to the solution.

10 One of the severe environmental repercussions of global warming is the depletion of drinkable water.

The rise in temperature is causing droughts in regions that used to have longer rainy seasons, significantly increasing the need for water for irrigation.

This has led to a lower water level in dams, causing turbines to operate at less than full capacity and resulting in a decrease in electrical power generation.

The project outlined here aims to address water scarcity for irrigation. The irrigation water for Butte and Plumas County crops currently relies on the Oroville dam. However, due to the effects of drought, the water level has decreased over the years.

The proposed system, with its innovative components-the layout of the farmlands and a module designed to harvest water from the air, holds the potential to significantly alleviate the water scarcity issue.

Easy conduction of water harvested by gravity.

Large surface area exposed to direct sunlight.

Vessel surface material Acrylic or Plexiglas Sheeting: Better light transmission, more than 80% of light to pass through it, safer to use than glass, made up of flexible polymers that make it easier to move, cut and install.

Polycarbonate Sheeting: Less structural support, design flexibility on-site, can be cut or cold-formed on-site (not like acrylic or glass) stronger than acrylic and glass.

The project takes in consideration the water harvesting material, the vessel and its location.

For the water harvesting material, a desiccant was chosen called MOF (Metal Organic Framework).

Given the desert atmosphere, in the evening, as temperature is low, by saturation, cold water vapor is taken up and stored in the MOF. When the device heats up in the daytime by sunlight, the warmed vapor condenses releasing liquid water.

The capture and collecting cycle continues, the MOF behaves as a sponge, holding vapor and releasing the liquid water.

Since the temperature is key to the cycle, the interaction of the module with the direct, indirect, and diffuse sunlight is essential. Therefore,

the module will face south and rotate according to the sun position.

The vessel shape is influenced by a combination of the conditions: reduction of loss of heat, different angles to get direct and diffuse sunlight, water conduction by gravity, and a large area exposed to direct sunlight. This addition of conditions resulted on a sinuous shape with different cross sections, that has a larger exposed surface than depth.

For the vessel surface material either acrylic or polycarbonate sheeting could be potentially used. For the ground below the vessel, a white membrane material could be used to increase the reflected direct and diffuse sunlight.

Option B The grid of the farmlands was deformed so the vessel can run accordingly. Three options were studied, choosing option A so the water harvested and stored in the vessel can be distributed to the farmlands more efficiently.

Moreover, the cross-section of the module will change along the grid path. It will go from a more significant section to a small one, helping conduction and extraction of the liquefied vapor at intersections of the grid.
