Director of Program: Dr. John Murphy Instructor:Prof. Darry Ohlenbusch Assistant Instructor: Prof. Curtis Fish Class Project- Urbino city digital model & Palazzo Ducale digital model designed across entire studio.

Pablo Gaytan - Section Detail & Flooring System Design In Collaboration with: Hayden Akana - Projector Design & Layout Carlos Hinojosa - Floorplan Drawing & Detail Drawings Emily Henninger - Rendering Detail In the Norhtern Region of Marche, Italy lies a small town called Urbino, such town holds home to one of the oldest Renaissance castles which dates back to the 15th century. This castle was once home to the Federico Da Montefeltro.

The basement which was once the Duke's stable, was remodeled to host an exhibition space, and thus with the intention of blending the new and old, a digital exhibition space composed of fabric and digital projectors was proposed.

With the very specific intention of preserving the historic structure, the idea of modular design will allow for a transformable and unprecedented visual experience unlike a traditional museum. offering multiple layouts and everchanging art.

Neighborhood Center - Koinotita Neighborhood Accesible Shopping Center in San Antonio, Texas Spring Semester 2021 Studio with The University of Texas at San Antonio

In the South side of the city of San Antonio one can find many nighborhoods with a vast past and diversity found all around these neighborhoods, one specily lies at the East of Interstate 37 that dates back to one of the first neighborhoods in the city.

Such neighborhood has an open site waiting for development to start and the opportunity presented itslef to introduce a new neighborhood center with retail spaces and possibly, residential spaces as well for individuals looking to find a new home in the south side of the city with easy accesibility to retail spaces that can provide services such as grocery shopping, restaurants and among other possible retail spaces upon further development.

The main focus of this project was to develop the multiple stucture to and in depth level of detail that could be used for construction plans, including detail of walls, spaces and a congruent idea of space and its usage.

The bird blind was designed to keep in mind the limited visual that birds should have on individuals as they go bird watching around Mitchell Lake. The bird blinds provide peek holes where in individuals can peek into to look out while remain hidden from bird bird’s s immeimme diate eyesight to avoid disturbing them.

From the other side of the bird blind the view is open and fenced to avoid the possibility of falling whilst in the space, additionally, the roof is partially enclosed and covered with a mesh to allow for flow of air into into the space as well as more sightseeing possibilities.

Gaming Headquarters - Doxanimos Gaming Headquarters in El Paso, Texas

Spring Semester 2020 Studio with El Paso Community College

Instructor:Prof. Alejandro Mireles In the city of El Paso, Texas, in the heart of the city; the downtown a rea, a new innovative proposition has taken place for the headquarters of a gaming company.

The design came about in taking inspiration of the focus of such gaming company, in this case the gaming company which was to be named APEX Studios, focused on the creation and desing of racing video games.

Following such ideas of racing the idea of drifting a vehicle came to be as the driving concept for the desing of the new buidling headquarters, such concept can be found directly to the right,keeping in mind an abstraction of the form and motion that drifiting a vehicle creates.

An urban analysis was required in order to take into account the flow of traffic of both vehicles and pedestrians.

Additionaly the urban analysis took into account what parking options are available on the site, as well as look into which are public and which are private, for use of employees and visitors to the gaming headquarters.
