Business card design for a jewelry designer in El Bolsón, Argentina.

The client wanted to use a hand-drawing done by herself in the card, which was added to the first version of the cards. Later on, we decide to go for a more modern and minimalistic look, and simple square cards were designed.

Living room design for four-person family Spring 2012

20

Living-room design for a fourperson family. For this project the interior design was developed while working closely with the architect in charge of the project, and while the room was being built. This provided the possibility

of adjusting the window layout, defining possible finishes for walls/floor and designing the fireplace, among other things. All renders were made with Autocad + 3DStudio Max+Vray software, and finished in Photoshop.

Through several interior design images used as samples, the owners defined the kind of space they would like to live in.

The sample images and interviews helped determine the overall style, which would be a modern, clean, industrial, but warm looking design.

23

After determining how the different areas of the room would be distributed, a material and colour palette was defined. This provided some ground rules for the rest of the design process.

The owners were presented with two options, each option had different wall finishes and colour pallets.

Most of the walls were painted in white to create a simple and clean atmosphere.

24

However, one of the walls was painted in gray to generate a focal point. Most of the furniture was designed in wood to bring some warmth to the room, or upholstered in bright coloured fabric to contrast against the minimalistic architecture.

One of the original brick walls was preserved, together with the electric installation tubes, this created an industrial and modern style.

Office building Autumn 2007

26

Interior Design IV class project, within the BA in Interior Design.

The project consisted in designing offices, meeting and waiting-rooms, a diner and an auditorium for Chubut’s government representation house in Buenos Aires.

The design proposal had to be developed within an existing building in Buenos Aires, which was used as a school and chapel.

For this reason, a very thorough survey of the site was necessary to develop the base architectural plans.

Having analyzed the characteristics of the province of Chubut, the design group reached the conclusion that the concept which represented Chubut the most was diversity.

Its landscapes go from steppes, to green forests, to beautiful blue lakes surrounded by snow peaked mountains. However, the element that it’s present in almost all landscapes is water, rivers, lakes, lagoons, cascades.

Using this as a design trigger, water would be the main theme for the design. Alluding to its visual aspect by using transparent, smooth and polished elements.

Carrying on the concept of water as a unifier of sceneries, the different spaces and the building itself would be treated as something flexible, where the different rooms connect with each other and mix.

The colours used represent the different areas of Chubut: Forests: Different shades of green, blue, maroon, ochre.

Fishing Lodge Summer 2013

Interior design for fishing lodge in the Patagonia Argentina.

The color palette and materials were chosen according to the characteristic aesthetics of

North American Lodges. The design was developed working together with the architect that supervised the construction of the lodge.

Due to time constrains, it was decided to develop artistic plans instead of photorealistic renders,

as this would be of use to explain the idea to the client and also to the builders.

35

The same architectural plans used for the development of the building were edited using Photoshop to apply textures and

36

to progress and revise the interior design to show to the client for feedback while the project was still in its infancy.

The interior design was focused on the main living room and the bedrooms as these were the main focal points and attractions to the customers.

These needed to be both very comfortable and functional rooms while also being luxurious, spacious and keeping with the design style specified by the client.

The project was particularly challenging due to the style that necessarily had to be adopted.

The owner was very specific in the type of interiors wanted, as they had to follow the aesthetics of

North American Lodges, so the final design followed this. The interiors also had to include some images and objects which are characteristic of the Argentinean Patagonia, combining both styles.

Designing for Production MA Furniture/Product Design project.

The aim of the project was to explore the commercial homeware market, developing a product or small range of products specifically for wood fabrication. There were no restrictions on the type, amount or size of the final product(s), but awareness of target and route to market had to be considered.

The project aimed to promote communication as a tool to support creative design practice using a wide range of media and methods. Through model making, prototyping and testing, an understanding of the physical development required within the creative process was gained.

Some initial cardboard models were made to further develop some of the sketches that seamed more suitable for production and aesthetically pleasant.

48

After the real size model was completed, the process continued by producing 3D models in SolidWorks. These explored different shapes and position options for the legs.

Designing for Production MA Furniture/Product Design project.

After researching and developing several versions of the table in SolidWorks. A final design was defined. The slightly tapered legs were placed under the top. The structure joining the legs and top were made smaller and the top thicker, making the whole concept look more stable but still delicate and simple.

50

The legs would be lathed in Ash wood, and the top made using a CSC machine. All metal parts would be powder coated in either dark/ light grey, or pastel yellow/pink/light blue.

The metal tray is removable and can be used on its own or as part of the table.

MA Furniture and Product Design Major Project: Furniture as a Promoter of Quality Education.

Education remains a primary concern for both governments and major organizations, However, achieving a high enrollment rate is hardly the solution, as early dropouts remains an issue that involves 60% of students in Argentina. The consequence of early dropouts affect the individual’s later on in life by a drop of competitiveness and productivity.

Moreover, the student´s level of engagement and how much of a useful experience school is for them, still needs to be analyzed. With this in mind, could furniture design help educators implement different teaching techniques, and by doing so, improve the student´s engagement and sense of belonging to the school, decreasing the drop out rate?

57

The aim of the project was to develop a piece/set of furniture that is better adapted to the challenges of modern education, focusing mainly on durability,

58

versatility, ergonomics and aesthetics. In order to do so, several options were considered and developed through sketching and 3D modeling (SolidWorks).

Due to the shape of the top in the final design, the table can be arranged and combined in a large number of ways. This, together with the height and tilt adjustable design, allows practitioners to implement a wider range of teaching techniques.

leaving one side fixed while lifting the other one tilts the table top

clamps allow the rotation

Both table and chair can be adapted to suit students from Grade 1 to Grade 7, simplifying the manufacture and purchase process, as only one type of chair/table is needed. While also reducing material wastage.

backrest depth is adjustable to suit ages from 6 to 12.

63

MA Furniture and Product Design Major Project: Furniture as a Promoter of Quality Education.

The table legs are divided into pieces that can be screwed in to the main structure to change the height. The top, thanks to the metal “L” fittings, also allows

64

for easy height adjustments of up to 15 cm, allowing teachers to rapidly adapt the table to students with different body types within the same grade.

Product & Furniture.

With the use of clamps to join the top and legs, the table can be tilted, which would promote more comfortable practices during art class, or reading

activities, for example. All metal parts are powder coated, and can be produced in varied colours to adapt to the school’s preferences.

3D Visualisation.

Computer based rendering was used to develop or display most of the project within this portfolio. However, some of them were created not as a means to achieve the product, but as the product itsef.

The following renders developed for the Uluia Community in El Bolsón, Argentina. The community projected a secondary school (Left), a kindergarten + primary school and a diner for both schools.

77

3D Visualisation.

In order to get funding for the project, several renders were made using Autocad + 3ds Max

78

for modeling, and 3ds Max + Vray for rendering. Photoshop was used later on to add people and edit the final renders.

Other renders were created merely as an improvement exercise. Here, special attention

was put in creating realistic lighting and materials, as well as in conveying a feeling.
