About Me: Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela on the turn of the century, I have always had a great interest on the world of construction and architecture. In Venezuela not much progress has been seen in the last decades in any regards, specially in the infrastructure. Since my time living in Caracas, there were no new significant new constructions of any kind done, something that would always stick out to me seen as it is the capital of the country and many other forane cities were rapidly changing year after year. When it came time to decide what I wanted to study Architecture seemed as the only in my mind, and haven’t regret it ever since. At the begging I wanted to study inn my home conntry in order to make a change, but this oportunity is imposible for many in a conntry such as mine. Therefore I opened my mind to new cultures and opportunities and went back to the country that my ansesters once called home. Here in Spain I have learned so much about not only my degree but culture, meet amaizing people and places. I focus in the atmospheres and spaces that architceture will create.
View of Architecture: My currennt view on architecture is filtered into what is good architecture and what is popular architecture. Popular architecture might also be good architecture, but there are so many amazing hidden gems that people can not understand to apreaciate unless they are architects. Many buildings today are done with the idea to be featured in the instagram stories of millions, or just be recognized because of the person that has done the building. I believe that even if we should as architects design beautiful spaces that everybody will like to photograph, we should also make them spaces were people would like to interact.
Future of Architecture: The future of architecture will focus on new technologies, and sustainability techniques, as well as everchanging spaces that adapt to peoples new ways of life and tastes. Architecture inmerced in the online world is also gradually growinng with many believing the future of architecture is intertuained with the one of the metaverse.
Inspiration: Some of greatest sources of inspiration I look for, I find in Art, in Museums, in great architecture that surrounds me, in walking, in seeing, in experiencinng. I also like to see into the lives, techniques and projects of great architects that came before me, some of my favorites include Alvar Aalto, Luis Barragan and Jørn Utzon, and also on amazing architects that work in the present such as Heatherwick and Kere.

The next part of the house is an adittion that adds to the main structure and fits multiple uses depending on the typology the user wants to use. Typology 3 this typology is similar to the typology 2 but the simple difference is that there is only entrance from the inside. this is meant to have a similar use as the previous but more private, it be used as a literal green house to grow plants... could also be used as a workshop space. Typology 1 is the living house, this design is made for the simple use of living, the simple design is completed with a set of bedrooms (3 more), and a bathroom. Typology 4, the simple design adds a simple room and bathroom and a multipurpose room that can add an office, another room or any kind of space that is needed. Typology 2, the added portion of the main structure is a green house that is separate from the main house, this is meant to probide services to the community. The extra space is meant to be used as a store, restaurant or workshop. Typology 5, the final typology is similar to the typology 3 but the key different is that the structure and materiality is the same as the main structure instead of it being glass and following a green house.

Bioluminescence is a type of chemiluminescence, which is simply the term for a chemical reaction where light is produced. Bioluminescence is a “cold light.” Cold light means less than 20% of the light generates thermal radiation, or heat. Most bioluminescent organisms are found in the ocean. These bioluminescent marine species include fish, bacteria, and jellies. Some bioluminescent organisms, including fireflies and fungi, are found on land. There are almost no bioluminescent organisms native to freshwater habitats. The appearance of bioluminescent light varies greatly, depending on the habitat and organism in which it is found. Most marine bioluminescence, for instance, is expressed in the blue-green part of the visible light spectrum. These colors are more easily visible in the deep ocean. Also, most marine organisms are sensitive only to blue-green colors. They are physically unable to process yellow, red, or violet colors. Most land organisms also exhibit blue-green bioluminescence. However, many glow in the yellow spectrum, including fireflies and the Quantula striata. Few organisms can glow in more than one color. The so-called railroad worm, may be the most familiar. The head of the railroad worm glows red, while its body glows green. Different luciferases cause the bioluminescence to be expressed differently. Biolumineecence Lights Bioluminescent fungi are spread throughout the globe, but details on their mechanism of light emission are still scarce. Usually, the process involves three key components: an oxidizable luciferin substrate, a luciferase enzyme, and a light emitter, typically oxidized luciferin, and called oxyluciferin. We report the structure of fungal oxyluciferin, investigate the mechanism of fungal bioluminescence, and describe the use of simple synthetic -pyrones as luciferins to produce multicolor enzymatic chemiluminescence. A high-energy endoperoxide is proposed as an intermediate of the oxidation of the native luciferin to the oxyluciferin, which is a pyruvic acid adduct of caffeic acid. Luciferase promiscuity allows the use of simple -pyrones as chemiluminescent substrates. Color modulation of fungal bioluminescence. Chemiluminescence spectra of luciferins 1, 3, and 6 to 9. The Savitzky-Golay filter (20 points) was used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio due to very low light intensity. C) Chemiluminescence quantum yields (F CL and (D) the observed chemiluminescence decay rate constant for compounds 1, 3, and 6 to 9. Use in architecture, color and Architects have had a estranged relationship. To many color can be dismissed as something trivial, and for the sake of decoration.But as we have seen color has much more power, color has meaning psychologically and physiologically. Color is the “Daughter of Light”, as stated by Le Corbusier, he explained how it is a powerfull form of expression for architects being Symbolic, Emotive and Associative. Luis Barragán, embraces colors, his smooth planes are consistently, and unapologetically, swathed with bright colors. And yet, despite bold, and often contrasting colors, his work in no way translates to mindless noise. Rather, a sunshine yellow shares visual continuity to a blue wall, bright pink is vibrantly layered against an equally-bright orange, a rust-brown descends into a pool of aqua- every color is just as deserving as the next; the culmination of a fearless and brilliant imagination. It is this understanding of color, texture, and light which simultaneously inspires an almost mystic wonder, but also resonates on a human scale.

Here’s a breakdown on how to navigate through the building: Island Side: Primarily for residents. Entry points are integrated into the “Sloped Park” at various levels, allowing direct access to residential units. Elevators and/or strategically placed stairs within the residential areas will provide vertical movement. City Side: Main Entrance located in the central plaza between the residential volumes. A series of ramps lead from the plaza to the entrance of the commercial area on the lower levels facing the Seine River. Escalators whisk users from the entrance plaza directly to the bridge level (second floor) and the rooftop plaza. The commercial areas on the lower levels and the bridge level itself are designed for easy pedestrian flow. as well as the elevators and stairs. Rooftop Bridge Area (Public Space): Open to the public. Accessible via escalators, climbing from the Island or City Side or by directly from the bridge level on both sides. Elevators and ramps will be strategically placed throughout the building to ensure accessibility for all users. The Sloped Park is an inclined green space on the Island Side doubles as a ramp, allowing residents a scenic path to reach the bridge level. On the City Side, the facade itself acts as a network of walkways, allowing residents to navigate the exterior and reach the rooftop.
“Le Grand Pont's Heart:” Where Commerce Meets Art
The beating heart of Le Grand Pont lies within its iconic structure – the seven main bridge frames spaced 75 meters apart. The vibrant red color pays homage to the traditional paint used on suspension bridges. This instantly identifies Le Grand Pont as a landmark, a bea con that communicates its purpose as a bridge and a symbol of the Olympic Games. The red frames visually bridge the gap between the City Side and the Island Side, reinforcing the project's core concept of connection.
Nestled within these red frames lies the project's commercial program. Each frame houses a variety of stores, with their facades strategically facing the Seine River. This creates a dynamic shopping experience, offering breathtaking river views alongside a diverse range of goods and services. The proximity to the water allows for cafes and restaurants to boast outdoor seating areas, further activating the riverside environment.
Art serves as a powerful language, capable of bridging cultures and fostering connections. By showcasing a diverse range of artistic expressions, Le Grand Pont celebrates the creative spirit of Paris and creates a platform for dialogue and interaction. The crowning glory of the bridge structure is its ever-changing roof. Imagine this vast space adorned with dynamic murals and street art created by local and international artists. This transforms Le Grand Pont into an open-air art gallery, constantly evolving and adding layers of meaning to the project.
The ever-changing nature of the roof art can go beyond mere display. Consider incorporating open calls or workshops, inviting the public to participate in creating the art, further strengthening the sense of community ownership over this landmark.
Le Grand Pont's bridge structure is a testament to innovative design. It seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics, offering commercial spaces that cater to diverse needs while transforming into an open-air art gallery. This section becomes a vibrant hub, a place where residents, visitors, and art enthusiasts can come together, experience the beauty of Paris from a unique perspective, and celebrate the spirit of artistic expression that defines the city.
What Happens After?
Le Grand Pont’s vision extends far beyond the Olympic Games. It’s true potential lies in its ability to transform into a vibrant hub for global connection in the years to come. The residential areas within Le Grand Pont can be seamlessly adapted into a unique hostel or hotel experience. The existing layout, with its focus on shared amenities and a central social space on the bridge itself, fosters a sense of community and interaction. This creates the perfect environment for budget-conscious travelers and those seeking a social experience.
It also wants to open a platform for Cultural Celebrations, Art Exhibitions, Conferrences and Meetings and of course future Sporting events. Its adaptability ensures its appeal to a broad audience. Backpackers seeking affordable accommodation can rub shoulders with art enthusiasts attending an exhibition, while business travelers can network during a conference, all within the same space. This melting pot of cultures and interests fosters a dynamic and enriching environment for everyone involved.
A Legacy of Connection.
Le Grand Pont’s post-Olympic transformation ensures its lasting impact. It becomes more than just a landmark; it becomes a platform for connection, a place where people from all walks of life can come together, share experiences, and celebrate the spirit of global unity. This aligns perfectly with the Olympic spirit, ensuring Le Grand Pont leaves a legacy that extends far beyond the sporting competition.
