The project, a children’s pavilion posed the challenge of designing and building, as part of a team, a pavilion for the entertainment of children of scarce means. The pavilion was initially built on the campus of the Universidad de los Andes and then moved to a kindergarten, where it remains.

Children in their early ages are investigating their environment, touching, looking, feeling, differentiating, searching for an identity and use for each element they encounter. This primary way of discovering the world through one’s own experience, focusing on individual knowledge through spatial research is the intention of the Urban Lego project.

The project not only sought to exploit the perceptual capacities of children but also the consolidation of optimal spaces for them, built from recycled elements.

Always taking into account the physical security of the user, it was possible to build a project capable of being perceived and appropriated by the children.

The project was awarded the third prize in the Corona Pro habitat competition.

1. Development of multiple models at different scales.

The Triรกngulo de Fenicia represents an opportunity to explore urban renewal in a complex city center. The diversity of actors, places and variables found in this specific sector of Bogota is comparable to the full scale of the city, and represents the problems and opportunities of the larger scale.

veloped as an architecture of urban scale. It seeks to consolidate a centrality with historical, cultural and symbolic legacy. First these questions are asked: How to multiply paths? How to create community in upper levels? Uncertainties that encompass an understanding of the sector on an urban scale.

The name of this project stems from the idea of understanding a place and its dynamics in order to propose a new way of addressing the issues found in the site and generate an inclusive and diverse city. In order to arrive at this proposal it is necessary to understand that the methodology used in the study values current phenomenon and then proposes strategies to arrive at a project. Understanding the dynamics the project must achieve, this project is de-

A space grid of 35 meters x 35 meters comprises Fenicia as a whole, those nodes are arranged as to be centers of vertical circulation. These fixed points support a system of interconnected trusses, which frees the ground level and multiplies the amount of routes to approach the site; then a Mat-Building is used to base a circulation grid from which blocks of activity are arranged. The resulting spaces allow for complementary activities.

2013 Bogotรก, Colombia Project Architect Competition, Mixed use, Urbanism, Housing David Delgado Arquitectos

The project was developed as a model for future housing projects, not due to its built components, but rather through the use of empty space, understood as a way of organizing life and site, landscape and rituals of the city, the neighborhood and the house. The city model proposed by the project is a model of voids of different interconnected scales to give continuity to nature and discontinuity to life through thresholds that mitigate the impact of the public on the private. It is a way to naturalize the city and the house while generating thresholds that give intimacy and allow meeting spaces to generate social cohesion.

The accelerated and unorganized growth of the city displaced its inhabitants to the city periphery, away from the centers of activity. It changed soft agricultural soil into paved hard soil. In this sense the project was presented as an opportunity to bring the inhabitants closer to the city center and re-structure the relationships between the urban center and the savanna territory, turning the block center into a green and soft space that allows passage of water to the subsoil and the renewed appearance of big trees, therefore reconstituting the flora of the savannah in the interior of the city.

The courtyard becomes a space that gathers the neighborhood, it becomes a public space that can be opened by day and closed at night, forming a threshold that precedes access to housing. The courtyard gathers, in its first floors, all the communal spaces that serve domestic life, facilitating the internal life of homes, that due to their small size, are only used for sleeping and working.

Also involved in the design of the nearby fireman´s building and runway control tower.

The project consists of three new airports for the cities of Yopal, Ibague and Leticia in Colombia; in which I developed, as part of the design team of David Delgado Arquitectos, a series of functional modules that allowed adaptation to the programmatic needs of each of the cities. The project was proposed as part of an initiative of the Aeronautica Civil de Colombia and was developed under the supervision of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

The project consists of the airport main building, control tower, fireman’s department and nearby areas including landscaping and urbanism.

Durante mas de seis meses trabaje como parte del equipo que realizo diseños, dibujos y detalles para los aeropuertos y servicios aledaños. Adicionalmente estuve encargado de la producción de renders y videos promocionales. El esquema reúne los módulos programáticos en tres módulos funcionales, Legadas, Hall de Check in y Salidas, los cuales se articulan a través de dos patios intermedios que permiten traer al interior la naturaleza propia de cada lugar y convertirse en una muestra típica de cada ciudad. Adicionalmente el trabajo de fachadas refleja la cultura presente en cada ciudad.

2014 Bogotรก, Colombia Project Architect Competition, Education Mauricio Pinilla Juan Pablo Orejuela Camila Jimenez Andres Delgado Juan Diego Perez

The Universidad Nacional summoned about 100 teams of architects to a two-stage competition for the design of the new Faculty of Arts building. The site chosen was the campus of the university in Bogotรก city center, a project that I developed with the architect Mauricio Pinilla and a team of 4 young architects. We were one of the six groups

invited to the second stage.

The project proposed a new stage for the arts which integrated its built form within the context of incredible value to the city. This was achieved by solving the program around a great void, a garden of exuberant landscape that would gather the different departments that make up the faculty.

21 de 34

A flexible building where the modulation of spaces, materials and program allow a lively and healthy coexistence of the academy with the technique, through the different communal spaces and classrooms that revolve around the internal landscape and the campus that surrounds it. Of the total area, 65% make up the circulations, which were understood as extensions from the spaces of learning and teaching; the meeting place par excellence.

22 de 34

The design of a massive door, inspired by submarine hangars would be one of the main features of the project.

When open, the patio’s nature would flood the main hall and at night, when closed, it would become the stage for art samples and musical acts.

The Altamura building is a luxury residential project located in the north of the city of Bogota. It was built by BRAD SAS and I participated as resident of gray work and finishes. The construction of the project posed an endless number of challenges as each of the eleven apartments had a different design and specifications.

My job was to coordinate the large number of contractors, to develop each apartment in an organized and timely manner. During this process I learned thoroughly the processes, requirements of each of the components present in an apartment, the high specifications of materials and innovative systems chosen presented interesting challenges that were solved.

The Torre E building is a project located in the northern part of the city of Bogota. It was built

by INFUTURAS SAS and I participated as resident of gray work and finishes.

My job was to coordinate the large number of contractors, to ensure each component of the 46 floors was done in an organized and timely manner. The size of the project introduced me to a type of knowledge I didn’t have before.

The project is part of an commercial and work complex called North Point, one of the few that sits outside the city center.

WOW ARCHITECTURAL VISUALISATION In 2013, me and a partner started a modeling, rendering and post-production company. I have had the opportunity, through this company, to be part of projects of all kinds, including competitions, housing projects and institutional. Thanks to this company I have had the opportunity to collaborate with different architects, many times being part of important design decisions that ended up being crucial in the definition of the project. It has also led me to improve different software skills.
