JUAN PABLO PAREDES

Hello, I’m Juan Pablo, but everyone calls me JP. Currently, I’m in the eighth semester of the Architecture program at ITESM. I’ve interest in parametric and computational design with a bioclimatic aproach.

I’m exploring the possibilities offered by emerging technologies to complement my creative process. I’m a learning enthusiast; always seeking new tools and techniques to surpass my own limits.

NIMBUS

DIGNITY COMFORT

On a 900 m² plot of land, the development of a mixed-use building is envisioned, with commercial establishments on the lower level and apartments of three typologies in the rest of the structure along with an amenities level.

“Nimbus” is located in a privileged corner, at the intersection of Del Estado Avenue and Panuco River, near an educational area frequented by students. Its aim is to create high-quality housing for students close to the university, along with commercial services and amenities within the same building.

Three modulated panels were designed to dress the base structure of the building, functioning as its envelope and a second protective skin against the extreme heat of Monterrey’s climate. These were manually modeled as SubD surfaces to provide fluidity within the design of the residences, simulating the fluid geometry of a cloud. These same profiles are extruded in the “z” direction to create columns incorporated into the established style and allowing open spaces for the commercial area.

With the aim of transforming the paradigm within the White Sox stadium limits, a mission was embarked upon to revitalize an extensive parking area spanning approximately 30 hectares. This space, previously contributing to an urban void between surrounding communities, had resulted in the isolation of certain population sectors. The project endeavors to establish a planned, regenerative space, fostering a resilient community

WINDS SUN TRAJECTORY APODACA, NUEVO LEÓN MÉXICO

The sound of airplanes taking off, as an iconic element within an airport, was chosen to serve as the concept that inspired the form. By deconstructing the logic of this sound, a curve was derived. This curve was then revolutionized and adapted to fit the dimensions of the metro station’s civil engineering project.

Subsequently, the winds were analyzed. By generating a wind tunnel simulation, it was observed that at two distinct points, a negative pressure was created, resulting in air currents that opposed the dominant winds.

Continuing to analyze the form, a significant contrast between the area that receives the most sunlight and the one that receives the least was found.

Type A panels were categorized as the points where the greatest amount of negative pressure was generated, with the aim of creating movable panels that allow for continuous flow and the release of this negative pressure.

The panels that receive the highest solar incidence were categorized as Type B panels. These will be equipped with an ETFE bubble material to protect and reduce solar incidence within the metro station.

Finally, it was decided to designate Type C panels to those that receive the least amount of sunlight. These panels will be composed of graphene panels and carbon filters, aimed at reducing the amount of pollutants produced by the station.

To provide structural support to the envelope, a beam system was designed to shape Additionally, a system of tension cables was incorporated for greater rigidity.

MARGARITA

TRADITION AUTENTICITY WARMNESS

In Ciudad Apodaca, a 738 square meter plot is designated for an Italian restaurant for 80 diners. This project aims to challenge local design norms while creating a unique atmosphere.

The restaurant’s concept embodies a visual metaphor: a leaf. Its facade will display a classic style, while the interior will be contemporary. This blend of classic and modern aims to captivate consumers, offering a distinct dining experience in the local culinary landscape

The color scheme of ‘Margarita’ employs complementary color separation harmony. Reds dominate the upholstery, brick texture, and tiles, complemented by touches of copper. Blues are prominent in the marble tables and bathroom cladding, while greens from the surrounding vegetation add freshness. Touches of yellow in select chairs add visual interest.

The goal is to establish an unobstructed visual connection throughout the visual dominance and arousal. Additionally, there’s a focus on maintaining through the space. Due to this combination of unobstructed visual connectivity experience to patrons that extends beyond their dining experience.

KURANDZA

EDUCATIVE RESILIENT INCLUSIVE

For the Kurandza Learning Center design competition organized by Archstorming, was asked to proposed a school located at a vulnerable environment. Situated in Chivonguene city, Mozambique, the site measures 35 x 60 meters. Notably, the area is prone to extreme weather changes, ranging from floods to droughts.

The primary goal of this project is to address three key aspects. Firstly, to create an educational environment that provides children with the opportunity to thrive in dignified conditions. Secondly, to foster integration by facilitating interaction among various spaces and users, including those from vulnerable backgrounds, such as people with disabilities and social exclusion. Lastly, to achieve resilience by developing a sustainable space in both construction and operation.

The architectural program is divided into 3 classrooms with a capacity for a kitchenette and a private patio; restrooms; a storage room; two water dining area with a bar for a minimum of 48 people; and finally, a library

for 30 people each; a faculty room with lockers; a daycare equipped with water tanks with a capacity of 10,000 liters each for rainwater harvesting; a with flexibility to adapt to another program if required
