JAVIER JUAREZBALTAZAR
Architecure Student
As a second-year transfer student from Fresno City College, I bring a passion for architecture and a history of leadership. In Fresno, I established the architecture club and organized site visits and educational meetings. Now, at Cal Poly, I am excited to infuse my enthusiastic energy into team projects and collaborative efforts. I thrive on boosting morale and motivating peers to excel in studio work. With a commitment to lifelong learning, I find joy in guiding others through design challenges. Eager to contribute to Cal Poly’s community, I am dedicated to both personal growth and supporting fellow students.

ACCIDENTAL DICOVERY: PARTI Dental Office Architectural Design and Visualization III Second Year Design Fresno City College Fall 2022 Instructor: Professor Ken Zamora Individual Project
This project challenged creativity by working with nonsymmetrical and abstract shapes to create a functional office space. This project was inspired by utilizing the most exciting part of a conceptual model; I chose the parti through the practice of accidental discovery. The circular part of the parti allowed for a centralized entrance and focal point of the structure, separating the operational side of the dentist’s office and the office area.

TAIZHOU CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM Case Study ARC 2011 Second Year Design 1 AcƟvity California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Fall 2023 Instructor: Noam SaragosƟ Group Project: Case Study
Located in culural and creative park that was converte from a former gain storage facility in China, the Taizhou Contemporary Art Museum is a new project finished in 2019 by the architecture firm Atelier Deshaus as a way to bring bakc life and attention to the once dreary space. With the south main entrance facing a small plaza, the museum welcomes all visitors to enjoy the works on display. With a total floor area of approx. 2,500 square meters, the museum has 8 exhibition spaces that overlap in quadrants of the main buiding. With each exhibition area being quite small, they have high ceilings and interlocking levels in order to decrease the overall height from the lower saces to the higher ones, while also making for an intereting journey for the visitors as they can see where they once were and where they will soon be.

LEIMERT PARK COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER ARC 2011 Second Year Design 1 AcƟvity California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Fall 2023 Instructor: Noam SaragosƟ Individual Project
Located in a historic African American community, this project aims to design a community arts center focusing on the community’s needs. The project integrates three core concepts: promenade, circulation, and curiosity. The building’s main concept lies in the series of gracefully protruding planes, not only framing the entrance but also serving as an overhang that offers protection to the lower level. Windows and balconies capture and frame the building’s inherent drama, creating curiosity about what is waiting to be visited. Occupants are welcomed with a glass entrance that blurs the lines of public and private. They have the option to take the stairs down to the auditorium, enter through the lobby, or take the elevator directly to their destination. Visitors traveling through the building encounter many double-height ceilings and terraces strategically placed to offer stunning panoramic views. These architectural elements not only enrich the visitor’s experience but also serve as a visual guide directing their gaze upward.
