experiences,

I am a future architect who believe in the power of architecture to improve people’s lives and its capacity to transmit emotions and sensations. I am passionate about the habitability of the everyday spaces, for that, I focus on the residential and housing design at all scales and others day to day spaces.

CAPA Arquitectura - Architect in charge: Juan Pablo Ramos

Description

It corresponds to the design of a small glamping in the town of La Merced, Caldas, in a lot of 6,400 m² located on the slope of a mountain with a steep slope, locating the project in a small flat part projected towards the views.

A glamping consists of a combination between camping and glamour, therefore, be in a natural environment, in relation to the outside added to the comfort and luxury.

Designconsiderations

◊ Design a compact bathroomkitchen block at the back side.

◊ Design a bathroom that can be connected to a wet area at a later stage.

◊ A space of approximately 25 m2. Great indoor-outdoor relationship.

◊ Well-lit space.

◊ Project raised off the ground.

◊ Possible future expansion through connectable modules.

Materiality

Guadua Negra (black guadua): Bamboo construction -known locally as guadua- is one of the local techniques that represents Colombian architecture today. Being friendly with its environment, it is a material that works as a useful and practical construction element, and because of its rapid growth, it can be easily acquired in Colombia.

Description

Casa SA is a project located in the parcelación “Tres corrientes”, in a lot with an area of 2.163 m² where only 260 m² can be used for construction due to withdrawal and a creek adjacent to the lot, in turn the lot has a steep slope, having its access at the top and a slope down, factor considered in the design, taking advantage of the topography to have a single level in the access and two levels to the visuals.

Description

During this academic semester, the objective has been to design at different scales, starting with the design of the master plan, then an urban planning unit and finally a specific building.

The project consists of 34 dwellings of different typologies, articulated with a cultural facility and public space, included in the urban development action unit and, on a larger scale, with the master plan.

Conceptanddesignstrategies

The project seeks to restructure the intervention area through the regeneration of native ecosystems and the creation of activities for residents and tourists.

The block consists of a mixed building (housing and commerce) and a cultural facility (gastronomic museum), which have the potential to introduce public space and bring it to the museum terrace through ramps and a bridge between the two buildings.

The mixed building is intended to meet the housing needs of the sector, prioritizing the native habitants of the area, for this purpose a staggered layout is used, trying to preserve the dynamics that occur mostly in the front gardens of traditional houses.

Description

In this section, I summarize the academic projects designed at the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana; I selected the projects of the fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth semester (the seventh semester project is reviewed in depth in the last section) to show a collage of digital models, planimetry and visualization and rendering.

Academic Projects - Summary

The project consisted of designing a pavilion in Turbo - Antioquia, I designed a bird observatory and the geometry was based on a voronoi diagram with the existing trees.

This housing design is based on preserving the urban morphology of the city of medellin, where singlefamily homes have the access at the front and a patio at the back, but providing access to the interior and a terrace to the exterior.

This is a group project, it consisted in a centrality in the urban area of Tamesis and stations to accompany local tours. It is designed from the topography, placing a large green roof that hides the main building.

This project is located in a lot in Entrerrios - Antioquia, the concept is based on the appreciation of the landscape, taking advantage of the sloping topography of the lot to locate the educational areas in the upper part, teaching the children to be rooted to their land.

Architecturalvideoediting

in the project workshop 6 we decided to make a video, making a tour first of the cultural and wellness equipment that we designed in the urban lot and then going through the different stations that accompany the local tours, showing the tourist attractions and complements that we decided to add to them.

I leave here in the QR code a link that redirects to the video uploaded on the youtube platform.
