University

Selected Projects Design process

Atom

The Parts of the atom will match with some essential parts of my design.

Sketching

I always sketch the concept to match the architecture and my concept I draw matches between solid structures, and architectural elements as walls windows, doors etc.

Drafting and Volumetric models

This is the most Chaotic part of the process, try do decide which software is best for thisproject, and try to draw allthe craziest designs that I have in mind and make it real.

I’ve learned many software during the University, I used to work with ArchiCAD, Sketch up, Photoshop, Lumion Etc., but I guess my favorite is Autodesk Revit, I can solve many of my Ideas with this software.

PUBLIC LIBRARY CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

Rendering Process

This is my favorite part of the Design Process, to Render all your ideas to create a Þnal image trying to impress reaching reality. Here are some pictures from My Þrst renderings in the University, I used to work with Lumion, because it matches so well with Revit.

Architectural Contest

Project 4

This has been the biggest design project I’ve ever done, unfortunately due to privacy policies of the company I can’t publish too much information about the contest,

Brießy, I can explain that it was a private contest, for some businessmen near the archaeological zone of Teotihuacan, who contacted different architects, engineers and construction companies through their staff to participate in the contest, which was to design a park thematic, that could talk interactively about the Teotihuacan culture and Mexico in general,

Thanks to the recommendation of one of my clients I was able to enter the contest, in which approximately 60 teams competed, We had only 1 month to deliver our proposal, in which I won the contest obtaining recognition and the sum of $100,000 Mexican pesos.

Xultum Teotihuacan

Theater

The main problem with this theater was to make a drop-down or mobile cover, to respect the regulations imposed by the “INA”, according to its regulations the structure could measure more than 12 meters high when there were shows at night, but no more than 9 meters during the day. that’s why we had to design a mechanical cover.

Xultum, Teotihuacan

Architectural Contest

Restaurant

In this Restaurant, we Created an eclecticism from all the eras of México, we tried to mix all the styles, one of the requirements was to accommodate more than 1,000 people at the same time,

you can Þnd many traditional colors, paintings and expositions.

Food Stalls

We designed these food stalls to be placed in all parts of the park, each one has a different symbology according to the type of stall, or food that is sold.

Concert Hall

It is a free space, designed to bring artists, or hold massive concerts, it is a very large space with Aztec decoration, but even so there is free space so that designs for the stages can be proposed.

Hidden House

Project

5

Hidden House in Pachuca, Hidalgo

I designed this house a long time ago, the location was not ideal to propose very open views and large windows, since it was in a somewhat dangerous area of the city of Pachuca, the design proposal is designed so that the lighting is indirect and that it is transmitted in other ways, without attracting much attention from the outside, in addition to being a Þrst-time family, they needed a commercial space on the ground ßoor to be able to rent a space and take advantage of their investment
