DANICA PARAISO Architecture Portfolio + CV

Hello.

As an architect, I consider myself to be a creative and adaptable individual who enjoys working both as part of a team and on my own. My main source of motivation is the constant need for personal and professional development. Although I enjoy working in the design field, I am equally enthusiastic about any task involving architecture and engineering. This portfolio contains a selection of works from my first year as a licensed architect, as well as apprenticeships, academics and personal works. I hope it demonstrates both my love of architecture and my skill as a professional.

Enjoy!

DUBAI, UAE

DECEMBER 2019 – JUNE 2021 (Seasonal)

During my apprenticeship at JCRG Archconcepts, I had the opportunity to collaborate and work with different architects such as Ar. Bagaporo as a result of Ar. Guazon’s referral. As a part-time architectural draftsman for Ar. Dennis Bagaporo: My primary responsibility was to assist in the creation of architectural drawings and plans. I work closely with him to bring his design concepts to life on paper and in digital formats. My role involves producing detailed technical drawings, schematics, and blueprints that serve as the foundation for construction and renovation projects.

VALET CAR PARK

March 2019 | A Proposed Multi-Level Valet Car Park Complex in Legazpi City | An Undergraduate Study

Description The growing commercialization of available land has produced rapid and large increase in land values, to the extent that the use of large areas of land for parking automobiles and other vehicles is uneconomical. As the city continues to commercialize and grow, there is an increased demand for vehicle parking space. As a result, the most efficient use of land can be accomplished by constructing a multi-level parking structure that incorporates smart parking technologies and solutions.

The study was carried out in order to address the lack of parking spaces in the Central Business District, particularly in the Landco Business Park. It has 610 car slots, 155 motorcycle slots, and 9 electric vehicle charging stations, all of which are accompanied by valet attendants to ensure the comfort, convenience, and security of its valued customers. Parking more cars in less space is possible with automated and mechanical parking systems that provide two or more times the number of available parking spaces as conventional self-park garages of the same volume, resulting in a faster return on investment and higher revenues.

The site for the development is located at the Landco Business Park with a total of 9,267 square meters which is about 0.9 hectares with a perimeter of 432.152 meters. The site is strategically located within the vicinity due to the presence of shopping malls, shopping centers, transport terminals, assembly areas and other stand-alone commercial establishments.

AT&T TOWER

February 2018 | A Proposed High Rise Office Building | Design 8 Main Plate

Description AT&T, a US telecommunication company decided to established a regional office in Asia, particularly Makati City, Philippines to oversee its operations in the Asia Pacific Region. The company poses the challenge to the designer its intention to create a strong corporate identity embodying the essence of bringing a new high-tech venture into a third world country. The company is internationally known and established and the building would be host to some of very important personages.

The proposed high rise building is composed of five (5) storey basement parking. A three (3) storey podium that comprises the ground floor with a mezzanine, ME & EE floor and one (1) floor for the amenities. The tower is consist of one (1) amenities floor, one (1) transfer floor and twenty-five (25) office floors including the last three floors intended for the company which is located at the Makati central business district, Philippines.

The main feature of my proposed building is the veins-like aluminum cladding along the right side of the building. This closure is born from a metal framework that not only has the function of guiding and supporting the green but also embraces the building fulfilling a structural function.
