MARIO RODRIGUEZ

ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

2016

My grandfather was a carpenter who learned to converse with wood and make it a life companion. My father composed verses since his heart started beating for things that his mind could not explain. In me there is something from both of them, the poetry and physical creation of things which drew me to architecture.

01

The duality of life has always been a powerful source of inspiration and part of what makes me who I am. The spirituality from my mom and the poeticism from my dad, the discipline and the total freedom, the practical and the conceptual, the tangible and the surreal, light and darkness. I find all these parts powerfully and beautifully assembled in architecture. I’ve always thought that architecture is where science and art meet to change people, families to change society.

And so architecture is the tool I have chosen to make a difference in the lives of people and the environment that surrounds us.

Salt Lake City, 2016.

lagar WINERY AND VINEYARD

Wineries are one of the biggest attractions in the State of California. The first vines were introduced in the valley in the mid-late 19th century and from then it has produced some of the finest wines around the world.

For my final project as a senior, I teamed up with Meng Li to produce the preliminary design of this hypothetical winery surrounded by vineyards and greenery.

Most of the building is under the ground, which serves as a thermal mass that keeps the spaces at a constant temperature, saving energy.

In order to mantain the SO2 levels, wine needs to age at a constant 55-60°F temperature; the ground mass helps to mantain this temperature, whether in winter or summer.

The O.C. Tanner expansion is a large project in which I was able to be part of. The client needed to remodel the existing handrail originally built in the 80s. I assisted the project architect with several design iterations.

The building was already modeled in Revit; I modeled the new handrail with its details, posts, panels and fittings.

Maverik service stations are all around the west. They use various prototype stores, depending on the location.

With the assistance of one more RE TA L drafter, we modeled the convenience Istore and the canopy with the gas tanks. We put together a full set of drawings which is still being used, as FFKR is responsible of 10 or more of these stores being built at a time.

Every time a new store is going to be built, a new set of drawings is prepared using the one we did, adapting it to the new location.

Part of the O.C. Tanner expansion included remodeling spaces that were not up to code. At the South end of the basement, there is a working area that needed an egress exit. Through joined forces with landscape architects, this light well was developed after several design iterations that consisted of the location of the door and stairs type, of which I was part.

PROJECT TYPE: Professional work at FFKR CLIENT: Canyons Resort DATE: July, 2015 LOCATION: Park City, UT

77 As one of the biggest ski resorts in Utah, The Canyons were in need to expand the existing parking area, so they decided to build a multi-story parking garage. Structural engineers gave us the parameters that would PHASE 1 rule the design. I was able to come up with several options 669 for the distribution of 1,000 parking stalls, whether it had 3 or 4 levels. I put the Revit model together. The client hasn’t decided when to start building it yet, but the digital model is ready to be developed into CDs.

Good Earth needed to remodel the aesthetics of their convenience store and add visibility to the yoga studio entrance in the basement. Assisting the project architect, we surveyed the property and the existing building.

I personally translated that information into Cad drawings. Later on, others joined the team to complete CDs. My participation in this project has been from the first stages to submittals to the city.

An hour north of Salt Lake City, Ogden Canyon opens up to give way to Huntsville where the Holy Trinity Abbey was built in 1947. We were tasked with developing a hypothetical design of a new retreat center that would include all the religions. This consisted of a preliminary study of religions and the creation of a sculptural reliquary. The concept for this project is rebirth through humanity’s common source, light.
