VOLKSDORFER STRASSE
Barmbek Süd, spanning approximately 3.1 square kilometers alongside the Outer Alster, in Hamburg, is undergoing a significant transformation from a working-class district to an attractive residential area. With a population of around 35,500, the district shares borders with Barmbek Nord, Dulsberg, Eilbek, Winterhude, and Uhlenhorst. Notable for its diverse development, Barmbek Süd features striking modern towers, such as those in the Mundsburg Center and the Hamburger Meile, alongside historic buildings from the early 20th century. The focus on urban development includes plans for constructing 450 new apartments from Mesterkamp to Alsterdorf, illustrating a commitment to enhancing living spaces.
A current consideration involves the revitalization of properties between Hamburger Volksdorfer and Wohldorfer Straße, aiming to identify alternatives for ongoing development and improve the planning area along a vital highway. The endeavor is driven by a political interest in creating additional living spaces, prompting a potential replacement of the existing building law with a new development plan that encourages denser construction. Various offices are invited to contribute free ideas to this exploration, emphasizing the examination of the location's potential and proposing innovative solutions.
The ultimate goal is to shape a vibrant and harmonious urban environment in Barmbek Süd.

From 3 to 12 stories, this multifaceted complex seamlessly incorporates four purpose-built structures. The introduction of a novel corporate edifice meticulously aligns its volumes with the established architectural context. Meanwhile, a residential building undergoes a thoughtful facade rejuvenation, introducing an additional layer while preserving the essence of its original aesthetic. Complementing the ensemble, a horizontally oriented 5-story residential structure, organized with three cores, stands alongside a four-story industrial building.
As anticipated, the design of the complex must also meticulously adhere to regulations governing the extent of shading cast upon the adjacent surroundings.

The inclusion of roof gardens emerged as a focal point in our discussions while shaping the accessibility of the building's roof space. Deliberating on the development, we recognized the significance of integrating these elevated green spaces, strategically contributing to the overall design and functionality. This thoughtful consideration adds not only aesthetic value but also enhances the building's environmental impact, aligning with our commitment to sustainable and harmonious urban development.

CENTRAL URBAN NODE
The 'Potosi Central Urban Node' proposal aims to prioritize public activity as the curator of space. Situated at Mining Ingenuity #35 (VELARDE) near the plateau, its strategic location just 2 kilometers from the city center makes it a natural landmark due to its topographical qualities.
The primary objective is to mitigate the negative environmental impact of urban and mining growth. The goal is to transform peripheries from artificial and chaotic boundaries into free and spontaneous transition zones that restore the natural relationship between the city and landscape, creating a new identity. A green "oasis" emerges within the rugged highland environment, acting as the new lung for the imperial villa, complemented by the renovation of a lookout tower atop the intervention site.
The project unfolds in three phases, encompassing a convention center, artistic area, lookout tower, 'white square', an underground cube, green spaces, pedestrian paths, landscape considerations, and other minor additions.
In this sample, the lookout tower stands out as a key feature within the overall design.

In designing a lookout tower for the central urban node, we expanded the concept to incorporate a convention center and an artistic area at the mountain's peak. This multifunctional structure serves as an observation point, community gathering space, and venue for cultural events.
The lookout tower, combined with the convention center, features an observation deck, community hub, and cultural event space. To enhance the visitor experience during cold weather and limited visibility due to cloudy conditions, a green wall was integrated into the tower's facade. This living feature not only adds visual interest but also improves insulation and air quality, enhancing the tower's sustainability

Our design integrates seamlessly with the park's natural landscape, combining contemporary architecture with the park's aesthetic. One of my tasks focused on detailed specifications and technical plans to ensure the project's successful design. This included architectural drawings, material selections, and structural analysis.

LANDSCAPING EXERCISE
Situated at an altitude of 3,600 meters, La Paz grapples with limited green spaces and tree diversity due to its high elevation and cold climate. In the 'Theory and Morphology 3' course led by Professor Ana Arze, we focused on rejuvenating a neglected public square that had been overlooked by both the city hall and the community, resulting in its minimal use.
Our proposal underwent iterative evaluations of local and imported flora to adapt to the distinct weather conditions experienced throughout the year. This dynamic approach ensured the preservation of existing vegetation while introducing species resilient to La Paz's climatic challenges. The design evolved to feature spaces for children, a potential venue for public performances, pathways lined with green bays and water channels, transformation of one of the streets into a pedestrian path and the integration of parking facilities, aiming to transform the square into an active and vibrant community hub.

RECREATIONAL CENTER
Coroico is a popular tourist destination known for its tranquility, natural beauty, and pleasant climate. The village is renowned for its fruits, production of medicinal coca, and organic coffee. Situated at 1,525 meters above sea level and just a three-hour drive from the cooler city of La Paz, it serves as a common escape for locals and visitors.
Despite its attractions, Coroico lacks sufficient entertainment infrastructure to fully capitalize on its natural beauty. To address this, a recreational center has been proposed, featuring a traditional restaurant, ice cream parlour, game room, swimming pools, camping area, dance club, sauna, and other related amenities.

HANDMADE EXTRAS
This hotel project encompasses family cabins and housing blocks ranging from 2 to 4 beds. The design incorporates essential amenities such as a service area, restaurant, swimming pool, and parking facilities. Situated in Mecapaca, the lowest area of the metropolitan area of the city of La Paz at an elevation of 2,600 meters above sea level, the project is set within a square territory.
The entire design process, including plan drafting, sketches, and physical models, was executed manually, reflecting a hands-on approach to architectural development.
