01 TRES MARIAS

LOCATED IN MORELIA, MEXICO.

PROJECT TYPE: RESIDENTIAL 2020 PROJECT LEADER @AMS_ARCHITECTS

Nestled within the pleasing slopes of one of the most exclusive private neighborhoods in Mexico, this residential project seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, embodying harmony between architecture and environment. Designed to embrace the unique topography of the site, the house is strategically positioned to maximize panoramic views while minimizing environmental impact. Utilizing locally sourced materials and sustainable construction practices, the project pays homage to Mexican craftsmanship and ecological consciousness.

The architectural concept revolves around fluid spatial connections and terraced levels, creating a dynamic living experience that adapts to the slope’s contours. From the cascading gardens to the graytones façade, every detail reflects a deep respect for the land and a commitment to creating a dwelling that not only shelters but also inspires. Inviting abundant natural light and fostering a sense of openness, this project stands as a testament to the power of architecture to coexist harmoniously with nature, enriching the lives of its inhabitants while preserving the beauty of the landscape.

02 KY TOWER

LOCATED IN AGUASCALIENTES, MEXICO.

PROJECT TYPE: COLLECTIVE HOUSING STATUS: COMPLETED 2019 TEAM MEMBER @AMS_ARCHITECTS

As a member of the collaborative team involved in a collective housing project centered around an apartment tower, my role extended beyond mere design tasks to encompass strategic decision-making aimed at achieving a harmonious balance between quality and cost-effectiveness. Specifically, I undertook the design work for carpentry elements such as kitchens, closets, and doors, as well as ironworks, meticulously crafting technical plans to guide their implementation. Through close collaboration with suppliers and contractors in these areas, I not only ensured the seamless execution of the project but also actively sought out opportunities to optimize resource allocation and streamline processes, ultimately enabling the creation of apartments with exceptional finishes at a remarkably low budget.

My involvement in the project extended beyond the realm of design, as I played a pivotal role in the selection of finishes for both individual apartments and the tower as a whole. By leveraging my expertise and industry connections, I facilitated access to high-quality materials and finishes that enhanced the overall aesthetic appeal of the apartments while remaining mindful of cost considerations. This strategic approach not only allowed us to deliver apartments with superior finishes but also positioned the project competitively in the market, offering prospective buyers an enticing combination of quality craftsmanship and affordability.

03 OASIS

LOCATED IN AGUASCALIENTES, MEXICO.

PROJECT TYPE: SOCIAL DESIGN STATUS: COMPLETED 2018-2021 PROJECT LEADER @AMS_ARCHITECTS

As the project leader for the new Oasis of Aguascalientes, I led a dedicated team of designers through the creation of a hospice designed to provide compassionate care for individuals in the terminal stages of AIDS and Tuberculosis. With a focus on durability and lowmaintenance, the project was entirely funded by donations, reflecting our commitment to creating a serene environment that honors the residents’ final moments. Situated in the historically significant former Workshops of the Railways in Aguascalientes, the design pays homage to the site’s heritage while embracing a contemporary approach to social-healthcare architecture.

Collaborating closely with suppliers, contractors, and engineers, I ensured seamless integration of all facilities, actively participating in key decisions throughout the construction process. Through meticulous material selection and architectural language, the project breathes new life into the site, infusing it with a profound sense of spirituality and purpose.

04 THE QUEER CITY LOCATED IN SEATTLE, USA.

PROJECT TYPE: EXPERIMENTAL CITIES MASTER’S THESIS PROJECT SEMESTER 2, 2022.

THESIS ADVISOR: VIRGINIA MANNERING

The queer community has achieved a geographic presence in Seattle, reflecting its capacity for resistance and transformation to the heteronormative space, but how do people live and understand this space? Is it really different from other spaces in the city? What factors determine it as a queer space?

‘The flaneur’ is term to determine a person -historically refereing to male gender- who shares their experiences and stories of an urban walk, in order to better understand the relationship between the individual and the city. This thesis explores ‘the flaneur’ from a queer perspective, challenging city life as if it were a code to becracked, seeking optionality instead of rationality.

There are many attitudes towards queer space, and without trying to define what this means, this thesis proposes some architectural strategies to understand how queer people and their allies live this urban journey through the streets considering the social and technological evolution that we are experiencing.

ill lH

The chosen area contemplates the south of Capitol Hill neighborhood, where some of the most popular queer sites in Seattle are currently moderately concentrated.

Cap ito

If we analyze the current situation of Capitol Hill with the concept of ‘flaneur’, we can understand how the city is laid out, but most importantly how the spaces dictate our way of living the city -in and out- our buildings.

This thesis proposes a concept of ‘queer flaneur’, where optionality rules over rationality, creating new ways of understanding the city and spaces, creating safe spaces according to the interpretation of each person, where optionality takes the spotlight.

05 VICTORIAN HOUSES

LOCATED IN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA.

PROJECT TYPE: HOUSING RENOVATION STATUS: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT 2023-2024 ARCHITECT: JIM COMMADEUR The first project showcases a charming country house nestled in the serene landscapes of regional Victoria. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Californian bungalow style, the design combines timeless elegance with regional vernacular, creating a residence that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. The predominant use of brick veneer lends a sense of warmth and durability to the exterior, while also paying homage to traditional Australian architectural aesthetics.

One of the key design considerations of this project was the exploration of various roof options to complement the overall aesthetic and functionality of the house. From steep gables to hipped roofs, each option was carefully evaluated to strike the perfect balance between visual appeal and practicality, ultimately enhancing the character and charm of the country home. A notable aspect of this project is the preservation and integration of an old stone building found on the site. Serving as a historical focal point, this structure adds a sense of authenticity and narrative to the property, while also highlighting the importance of heritage conservation.

The second project involves the extension of a residential property, aimed at seamlessly integrating the new structure with the existing internal spaces. Special consideration was given to addressing a significant elevation change in the design.

06 CITTÀ D’ACQUA LOCATED IN MILAN, ITALY.

PROJECT TYPE: INTERNATIONAL CONTEST STUDIO 08 | CITTÀ D’ACQUA CONTEST: MILAN NAVIGLI CANAL CHALLENGE SEMESTER 1, 2022.

ADVISOR: MARKUS JUNG

‘Città d’acqua’ propose an innovative approach by collaborating with local initiatives to forge an eco-civic network. This architectural endeavor transcends traditional boundaries, seamlessly integrating architecture, urban design, and landscaping to foster a productive ecological cycle. At its core lies a symbiotic relationship between the canal, the park, and the Palazzo del Senato. The transformed Palazzo serves as a vibrant local creative hub, offering studios, collaborative spaces, exhibitions, and public workshops. Leveraging water from the canal, the site incorporates sustainable practices by filtering the used water with plants and reusing it within the park, and finally bringing the water back to the canal, creating a ‘water’ cycle that promotes environmental stewardship.

This localized response challenges the prevailing trend of globalized industries, particularly in fashion, resonating with the nearby Quadrilatero della Moda precinct. Moreover, the project enriches public life by extending the park and facilitating community engagement with the production and water cycles. ‘Città d’acqua’ responds to the local and global urgencies of this broken world; a perspective of care that starts from what exists towards a world that repairs the future.

08 CROMA

LOCATED IN VENICE, ITALY.

PROJECT TYPE: EXPERIMENTAL MUSEUM STUDIO 08 | STIRLING AT CA’ CORNER DELLA REGINA SEMESTER 2, 2021.

ADVISORS: SCOTT WOODS & KIM Võ

James Stirling’s architectural legacy, rooted in postmodernism, embodies a fusion of narrative, figurative, abstract, and technologically advanced elements. His designs challenged the stagnation of modern architecture by exploring new possibilities and pushing boundaries. Through a blend of modernist forms and industrial influences, Stirling created museums that defied convention, characterized by a complex formal language akin to cubist compositions.

Leveraging Stirling’s principles, the proposed museum project at Ca’ Corner della Regina in Venice seeks to redefine the museum experience. This initiative, named CROMA, integrates Stirling’s architectural language combined with existing parts of the building to create three new ‘architectural objetcs’ that serve as new way of presenting the exhibition of ‘Stop Painting’ by Peter Fischli with a fresh perspective.

Inspired by Mark Godfrey’s discourse on the crisis facing contemporary painting, CROMA immerses visitors in an experiential journey. By highlighting the figurative and abstract elements of Stirling’s architecture, CROMA prompts viewers to confront the evolving relationship between art, technology, and audience engagement.

Through this innovative approach, CROMA challenges traditional notions of painting’s relevance in the digital age, sparking introspection and dialogue among visitors, artworks, and the museum environment. CROMA takes you to unique moments to discover if painting is really in crisis, or if we are.

PROJECT TYPE: URBAN SPACES AA SUMMER SCHOOL 2022 | A NEW TOGETHERNESS SEMESTER 2, 2022.

ADVISORS: LISA CHAN & YUSHI LI

This project conducted at the AA in London, offers a fresh perspective on urban design by focusing on the observation of a particular urban inhabitant: smokers. Through this lens, the main street is reconceptualized, informed by the narratives woven by these individuals. By delving into their needs and challenges, we sought to identify missing programs and opportunities for integration, adaptation, or intersection.

Main streets or avenues constitute vital hubs within our urban fabric, serving as dynamic arenas for social interaction and economic activity. Imagine if we reconceived these thoroughfares as expansive arenas for diverse expression.

How do social dynamics intersect with the infrastructural framework of our streets? What social impacts might arise from reorganizing local systems, networks, and services? These questions underpin our exploration into the potential transformations of urban spaces.

This project exposes the problem in a unique way through photographs and writings, where the main character is a cigarette butt: thanks to its vision, we can re-imagine our streets and abandoned places and thus organize spaces for everyone in a chaotic world that our cities experience today.
