STUDIOS

I am an current graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology, I have a Bachelors of Science in Architecture from the University of Illinois in Chicago. Ever since I can remember I have been deeply in love with architecture and its never-ending potential to elevate every-day experiences, and the great responsibility that comes with this every optimistic endeavor. Studying at UIC has allowed me to expand on my original notion of architecture by introducing me to the conceptual and theoretical side of architecture. As I continue my architectural studies at IIT ‘s graduate program, it has allowed me to develop a more diverse outlook of the field. All in hopes that this will allow me to discover my role and future contributions to Architecture.

01 RITUAL/HABIT Fall 2021 Curated by David Brininstool and Andy Metter This project began with the exploration of what ritual and habit is. These words were a direct product of the COVID 19 quarantine mandate. My group dissected what ritual and habit is and thus the diagrid was a direct product of this exploration, as habit can be seen as a pattern and ritual as a distrubtion that happends from time to time on the pattern. The building exemplifies the topic of the studio by generating a hostel and normal studio micro units that change from one to the other as the building rises.

Most hostels are occupied for only a few days, usually used by travelers.

For this reason we decided to carve a path of atriums along the edges of the building to represent the travelers “journey”. Each of these atrium spaces would be occupied with a different program that is out of the ordinary, a ritual. Whereas the units, would only represent a habit.

02 8840-54 S. COMMERCIAL AVE Spring 2021 Curated by Ryan Palider This was a group project proposal submission to Chicago’s RFP Invest South/West. This project is located on the corner of Commercial Ave and 89th St in the South Chicago neighborhood. The layout was designed around an existing building that was connected to the proposed structure through a glass atrium. This atrium would allow the center core to form communal spaces, while the exterior would be affordable housing. All these new communal spaces would bring more foot traffic to Commercial Ave once again and give space to provide more resources for the community. The facade is meant to provide a different view to security curtain walls in these neighborhoods, what is seen as a negative notion is taken and made into a positive one by providing a new facade for the building. The facade is digitalized with perforations to represent brick and facade ornamentation seen throughout the surroundings of the building. The proposed facade also pays homage to what use to be a booming steel city. This is specially true when the facade lights up at night and stands like a ghost from the past.

03 NOT YOUR TYPICAL CASINO Spring 2020 Curated by Sarah Blankenbaker The design and composition of this casino reflects on the journey that a visitor might encounter at a casino through its vertical construction. When visiting a casino, one might continue to make earnings and hit jackpots, therefore having a very smooth, easy ride to the top (center elevators) In another way, one might experience up and downs, winnings and losses, creating an intricate experience. The make up of these angled plates not only serve as an abstract representation of this journey, but also serve as an alternative mode of circulating through the casino. The intersection of these plates also allow new areas to form and give room for new opportunities.

04 CARTHUSIAN MONASTERY Fall 2019 Curated by Abby Chang, Jimmy Carter, Francesco Marullo and Agata Siemionow This studio began with the study of Carthusian monasteries and the very strict daily routine and solitary lives that the fathers and brothers follow.

The monks are secluded from the outside world and are given only the essential items needed in their lives. In the design of this monastery, the main driving force was the idea of the steps becoming everything walls, seating, beds, doors, etc. For this reason every space from the cells to the chapter house, chapel, kitchen (found in the center) are constructed under the idea of the steps becoming useful in every way possible. For farming, terraces were constructed going down the steep hill with ramps for machinery to access them. The particular construction of this monastery allowed the monks to be able to circulate all around the monastery while allowing them to experience new possibilities through the use of steps.

05 CHICAGO FRAME Fall 2019 Curated by Paul Preissner After the great Chicago fire, the Chicago steel frame enabled the construction of real skyscrapers that were fireproof, and the skeleton metal frame allowed the weight to be distributed evenly. This construction is meant to be used as office space but is also modified to house a center ball room that is open while challenging the amount of support that is needed for the structure to stand. The structure of this building is angled in elevation where the faces from the street facades meet at the top to create an open geometry in the center. This allows the ballroom to recieve natural sunlight from the top while allowing the structure to build itself around it. The facade has a colorful chamaleon dichroic film that changes color depending on the angle that the viewer is looking at the structure. This was done to highlight the particular geometry of the structure, while exposing its usage of I-beams.

06 GOLF-CITY Spring 2018 Curated by Andrew Modrell This studio began with the study of three, one mile by one mile blocks of land with different topography in Los Angeles (Suburban), New York (Urban), Texas (Rural). These one mile x one mile strips were then reduced to 1/3 of these blocks. The next step was to combine the three different types of topographic pieces of land to see which is most prominent and expand its possibilities. In this case, the suburban construct of Los Angeles influenced the design of “Golf City” in which a golf course that was introduced by a mile block nearby completely took over the plot of land, allowing some of the residents to have a golf course right in their backyard. Alternatively, others were completely taken over by this physical construct but were given a more secluded area for those that inhabit it.
