Nido de Coatl | Selected Works

NIDO DE COATL Fall 2023 Rhino + llustrator + Photoshop This project involved an empty lot in the heavily latino populated neighborhood of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles. I designed a space where members of the community could feel welcomed and at home. The space allows for vendors, an outdoor theater and the ability to host large events. A space that commemorates migrants and their difficult journey to the United States is also present on site.

TEMPLO DEL MONTE Winter 2023 GIS + Rhino + Illustrator+ Photoshop

Teravana is a sanctuary located in Cazadero, California. It is a place that provides peace, relaxation and for an opportunity to connect with nature. The vast landscape complimented with the wonderfully built environment allows for a unique and breathtaking experience. The proposed amphitheater would be located in the newly planted redwood tree grove. The amphitheater would serve as a shrine to nature and the dome would serve as its temple. The space would allow for reflection where one can feel nature through an elevated state of mind.

ESPACIO LIBRE Summer 2023 Rhino + Lumion + Photoshop

This was a summer project in which I helped redesign the church I attend to. In order to revitalize the space I placed a massive courtyard that would allow for plenty of seating.

The courtyard would allow for large outdoor events while still maintaing constant use at any other given time. Currently construction is in progress.

REIMAGINING HUNT Fall 2022 Drawings + Photoshop + Model I was assigned with a sculpture at the beginning of the project and then had to design the new courtyard based on that sculpture. A mockup of the sculpture can be seen in the model pictures. Using the sharp edges and angles of that sculpture I created spaces that used that same geometry. The small amphitheater and the planter boxes both have those features previously mentioned. The whole site revolves around the sculpture making sure that there is an established connection between the site and the source of inspiration.

Mean Slope and Aspect Map

I did a study of Maui on GIS, that involved researching different data sets on the topography of the island. I then used the GIS program to develop that research and create interesting visualisations of the data.
