ABOUT I’m Cristobal Flores, and I’m currently a 5th-year Architecture student at the University of Arizona, College of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture. Originally from Nogales, Mexico, I moved to Arizona at the age of 17, fostering strong ties to the Mexican-American community. In the architecture field I’m highly motivated and I have experience in assisting with research and design projects. Proven track record of completing tasks accurately and efficiently and meeting deadlines. Eventually I would like to work in Residential Architecture, especially in custom homes, handling real estate investments and developments. I’m passionate about architecture and making a positive impact in the community.

Student Housing / Cultural Center
concept
The Cultural Center seeks to integrate the built environment with the natural world, celebrating the cultural identity of Mexican Americans while providing a welcoming and functional space for students to live, learn, and grow. From the moment visitors arrive at the site, they are greeted by a garden that leads them towards the program spaces. The public spaces include a multipurpose event room, information offices, a cafeteria, restrooms, cultural rooms, a library, semi-private study rooms, and a exterior event space. The building seeks to connect with nature by using large openings, filtered by breeze blocks that let in natural light. The semi-private space, which is the student’s home, is divided by a natural buffer zone that functions as a transitional space in the program. In the private space, there are dormitories for 40 students, living areas,, Within the private space, there are dormitories for 40 students, living areas, gathering spaces, and an indoor gym, all of which use the same geometry to achieve a connection with nature. The outdoor spaces to the east of the bedrooms include basketball courts, a skate park, and multiple gardens, which are not only used by the residents of the complex but also form a community with the students of Patagonia. The cultural center creates a space where students can feel a sense of belonging, pride, and connection to their cultural heritage while providing them with a functional and welcoming home.

Urban Project
concept
This project seeks to dignify the downtown spaces of Nogales through urban revitalization to enhance the economic well-being of the residents in Ambos Nogales. The economy in this area relies on the exchange of goods and services, and what needs to be improved is a dignified infrastructure that enables residents to engage in these activities safely. The urban renewal project seeks to revitalize the downtown area of Ambos Nogales through the renovation of the Morley Gate Port of Entry, the adaptive reuse of abandoned buildings on Morley Avenue and Elias, and the creation of a walkable community that celebrates the culture and identity of these interconnected cities.

Residential
concept
Casa Atardecer is a residential building that features an open layout for the public area, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. It includes a laundry area, a one-car garage, and ample outdoor spaces. The house is designed with a focus on solar orientation, where the terrace becomes a viewing point for observing the sunset. The design is a response to the clients’ request to maximize viewpoints while considering solar conditions. Overhangs are incorporated in the terrace area, and a screen is added to the main bedroom, allowing for the view while reducing the amount of sunlight entering the room. Facing south and the main access street, the house has only two openings, strategically placed to minimize southern sun exposure and maximize the privacy of the residents
