Design Project

Infrastructur for Cooperation and Balance

The river is an element that throughout history has been used by great civilizations, either as a reference point, settlements, divisions of tribes, etc. In our days, rivers are commonly used as political borders. Due to the current crisis that Venezuela is facing, there is a series of phenomena that are only characteristic of the borders,

Problem: Having a river as a border means that the separation between the two countries, instead of being a line that is crossed to reach the other side, is an intermediate space created on both sides of the river, which changes as the course

of the river changes. This lack of definition of the border added to the economic and social crisis that Venezuela is currently facing produce a condition of inequality between these two countries , producing disadvantage on the one hand and taking advantage from the other.

Solution / Project: In order to solve this problem, the project seeks to create an external infrastructure that rests on

At the same time, the project seeks to redefine the river, converting a separating element into an element that unifies two communities.

Cinema Learning Center

The “cinema learning and showroom center” project was born from the question “ what does learning means” , where, rather than answering what it is, it should answer how it is.

It raises questions such as: is theory more important than practice?

For example, the only way today to learn or know a subject is to be enrolled in something, but what if it is possible to have sample spaces where non-students and visitors can experience a learning process without necessarily being enrolled or committed to something.

The cinema learning and showroom center project is directed for two audiences.

1) The first one and more important is for people who

want to specialize in film production.

2) The second one, it is for visitors, whether they arecollege students, high school students, or even kids and adults

el arquitecto desnuda la estructura regular para hacerla evidente y volverla protagonista.

Si nos hubiéramos puesto a restaurar la casa, no habríamos terminado nunca, y además, habríamos terminado haciendo todo nuevo; o se aceptaba la fragilidad o se construía todo nuevo. Si se hacia todo de nuevo no habia por que mantener lo que habia.

AXONOMÉTRICA EXPLOTADA

Totalidad de la propuesta

There is an existing space of 80 m2, which functions as a practice workshop

In a workshop, different situations occur such as study, layout, presentations, correction etc, which are often spontaneous resulting in inappropriate use of space transforming into spatial disorder

1) Planimetric survey of the existing workshop, together with it, 5 situations that occur in a common space are identified: Study situation, layout situation, Rest / break situation, correction situation and delivery situation.

La propuesta contiene verticales y horizontales donde éstas últimas se desmontan.

En el pabellón se observa una estructura en base a andamios donde los perfiles redondos cumplen la función de distribuir cargas pero también aparecen piezas metálicas planas que se desmontan fácilmente y que acogen funciones tanto de circulaciones como mobiliario.

2) After studying the planimetric survey, it is concluded that currently, the existing space and its spatial distribution are not

“Ensambles y compartimientos”

Se propone una estructura en base al material madera la cual nos permite una lógica de ensamble, sacados y uniones sin la necesidad de piezas metálicas.

A través de ensambles se subdividen compartimientos que responden a las funciones del taller.

El proyecto de Shigeru Ban corresponde a una ampliación de una casa que se resuelve de mandera sutíl mediante una estructura a base de ensambles que solucionan el mobiliario requirido para una biblioteca.

PROPUESTA:

Creación de una reticula de madera en base a placas entendida como SISTEMA FLEXIBLE en el cual se desarrollan todas las situaciones existentes en el taller en base a ensambles.

Refugee Welcome Center

How do we live together in comunnity?

“The right to live a fully integrated life within the community - to live, to go to school, to work, to enjoy recreation etc.”

The user to which it is directed this project is towards refugees who arrive in Germany, specifically families with Kids, regardless of the country of origin.

Due to the condition of a refugee, leaving the home country involuntarily is a difficult process since there are new challenges for which they where not prepared, for example, a new language, looking for housing etc.

Reference: The Pavilion of Netherlands for expo 2000 by MVRDV architects has the purpose of vertically recreating different natural enviroments, under the need for more physical spaces or the lack of lands

Design Project

Railway Cultural Pavilion

What is it?

The project is a railway tunnel located in Lebu, reused as a cultural pavilion, its purpose is to recover an abandoned monument of great importance to the area and at the same time restore the value and importance of the railway to the city, promoting local culture.

a cultural and exhibition pavilion, where the railway and mining history of Lebu is exposed and at the same time, an itinerant artistic exhibition. At the ends of the tunnel, the project proposes two volumes, architectural pieces, which contain the necessary program for it to be functional (basic services, areas of rooms, etc.)

The project seeks to insert a new program into the Tunnel as a measure of reuse and enhancement of heritage, as a cultural extension, the project rehabilitates and enhances the existing area and add a new program and reason to bring people to this cultural heritage

Currently the tunnel is located on land owned by Arauco forest, so in conjunction with the municipality, it is proposed to generate a cultural center.

La esperanza Tunnel and at the same time complements it with an artistic and cinematographic exhibition.

In this chapter, it is presented the projects in which i have worked individually, as well as those in which you have collaborated with other architecture offices to compete in tenders and design contests.

It is important to highlight the scope and complexity of each project, from conceptualization to final execution, and how the specific challenges of each were addressed.

Each of these projects represents an opportunity to demonstrate my creative and technical capacity in the design of buildings and spaces. Both my private works and my collaborations with other architecture offices demonstrate my ability to adapt to different contexts and challenges.

I hope these projects are inspiring and show my commitment to excellence in architectural design.

interior donde se realizan distintas actividades; Éste patio se delimita por construcciones en donde predomina el lleno sobre el vacío. Las casas patrimoniales por lo general utilizan la manzana completa. El patio se convierte en el vacío de la manzana.

Techumbre:Existe un predominio de las casas con techumbres a dos aguas, por tanto se dedice seguir la misma lógica en la propuesta de proyecto.

Uso: El patio interior reunía distintas actividades, una de ellas era el desarrollo de la agricultura y ganadería principalmente para el autoconsumo. Patio como espacio de trabajo y además, de recreación.

Among my private works, I want to highlight my design for a small Competition in Italy in a natural environment. The School was designed with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, using local materials and a natural ventilation system. The result is a beautiful and functional house that integrates perfectly into the landscape.

Some of the private works and collaborations include designs for a college competition in Italy, graphic representation for project ideas and concepts, private architectural visualization work etc.
