JAVIER JUAREZBALTAZAR

Architecure Student

As a veteran transitioning from military service to architecture, I bring a unique blend of discipline, adaptability, and teamwork to every challenge I undertake. My time as a Sergeant in the Army instilled in me values of dependability, resilience, and a reliable commitment to excellence, which continue to guide me in my academic journey.

I learned to adapt quickly in high-pressure environments, encourage collaboration, and lead with integrity. These experiences have shaped my ability to approach problems with a solution-driven mindset and remain dedicated to achieving success under any circumstances.

Now pursuing a degree in architecture, I apply the same level of focus and determination to my designs and studies. Whether through model-making, site analysis, or collaborative studio projects, I strive to create spaces that balance functionality, beauty, and sustainability. I am passionate about using architecture to serve both people and the planet, and I am committed to making a meaningful impact through design.

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 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Fall 2023 Instructor: Noam Saragosti 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.

MT. WILSON SCIENTIST RETREAT MT WILSON, CA ARC 3011 Third Year Design 1 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Fall 2024 Instructor: Roberto Sheinberg Individual Project

Location: Mt Wilson Located on Mt. Wilson in the Angeles National Forest, the Scientist Retreat offers breathtaking views overlooking the San Gabriel Valley. This innovative observation and research facility is thoughtfully positioned on existing platforms, minimizing environmental disruption while repurposing underutilized structures.

The retreat is designed around a central courtyard, which serves as the heart of the facility, fostering natural circulation and creating a seamless flow between living quarters, office spaces, and public areas.

The courtyard design not only enhances connectivity but also encourages interaction and collaboration among its users. Paths and walkways organically branch out from the courtyard, linking to key spaces such as the sky amphitheater, equipment repair shop, and observation points, ensuring intuitive and efficient movement throughout the facility.

Architect: Omar Gandhi Location: Luisdale Nova Scotia, Canada This case study focuses on the construction methods of a prefabricated structure and the usage of materials.Black Gables consists of two modest-sized gabled buildings with a black ecterior and Metal roof system. the choice of black materials contrasts the environement allowing it to stand out and claim its presence its landscape. The goal was to be economical with both the budget and space in the forest utilizing local materials and labor to boost the local economy.

The house is situated in a concrete slab with a wood frame, the exterior freatures a composition of textures, including a metal jacket roof system, cedar shingles and metal cladding.

COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN Case Study Volunteer Cal Poly Pomona Shop California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Spring 2024 Instructor: Group Project: Blossom Sumardi

Architect: Carl Maston Location: California State Polytechnic University, Ca Building 7 at Cal Poly Pomona is a multifunctional facility that embodies the university’s commitment to hands-on learning and innovation. As a hub for design and fabrication, the building houses the model shop, which serves as a dynamic space where students bring their creative visions to life using a variety of materials and advanced tools.

The physical model of Building 7 was crafted using concrete, acrylic, and wood, showcasing the diverse capabilities of the model shop. This representation highlights the building’s architectural features while celebrating the versatility and precision achievable through the shop’s resources. The concrete symbolizes the building’s sturdy foundation, the acrylic reflects its modern and transparent design, and the wood emphasizes its connection to craftsmanship and sustainability.

This project underscores the role of Building 7 as a cornerstone for experiential learning at Cal Poly Pomona, where students are empowered to explore, innovate, and build their future.
