Re_Gen
Investigating the Boutique Typology Creating a fashion and lifestyle brand threw architectural thinking. The process of visualizing a brands clothing, accessories, showcase items, fashion show runways, marketing, branding and architecture that speak to the essence of the brand. REGEN will be an exploration of how architecture can influence these phases of a brand creation driven by the investigation on the boutique typology. REGEN is a streetwear clothing brand influenced by minimalism, utilitarian, futuristic and androgynous styles. REGEN targets millennials, young adults, teenagers, social media influencers, skateboarders, creative people seeking an everyday simple clothing item. REGEN is an experience, a brand for society, REGEN learns, adapts and regenerates for a future generation.

THE LINK
OCEAN & KAYAK CENTER R. Rodriguez + A. Hein Greatly inspired by nature, the Link Ocean and Kayak Center is a building that extends from the ground, the air and water. Being developed with the idea of connecting architecture to nature, the link proposes marine educational facilities and public amenities as a zero net energy building. With its successful usage of the land and water, the eco park at the Link Center will provide solar and wind energy not only to the proposed building but also to the rest of buildings on the site. Clear and adequate articulation of the design will satisfy the purpose of the Link that is to invite and educate people for the importance of the nature and marin species while experiencing architecture that will motivate them to have awareness on nature preservation.

Stage 1. Building was started to develop with the idea of connec�ng land, water and air.
Stage 4. An outdoor area is added between two por�ons of the buildings for the visual separa�on of the long façade and to enhance the sense of outdoor experience in the building.
Stage 2.
Stage 3.
Building is raised above to save itself from flooding and to allow spa�al and visual con�nuity between the spaces
Building is split into two parts, for public ( yellow) and for scien�sts and researchers ( pink)
Stage 5. Ver�cal circula�on is added in the middle por�on to bring people from the high groundto the pier, from the pier to the high ground, vice versa.
Stage 6. Pier is extended from the ground and Kayak building is placed on pier, underneath the building. Structural materials complete the architectural concept and the final design is now ready to express the linkage between land, air, water and architecture.

SUBURBAN REMIX
CLAIREMONT HOUSING PROJECT San Diego currently faces a housing crisis, the city has worked with developers and planners to mitigate these conditions however gentrification has been a huge setback for communities to expand. In today's rapid urbanization it's important to repair our current living conditions. This housing project challenge was to repair suburban sprawl strip malls and reimagining with mixed use housing and development. Suburban remix proposes a housing project with a mix of units for a mix of incomes and diversity of people accommodated with amenities all within walking distances for safer walkable compact neighborhoods.

MAYA URBANA ACCLIMATE HOUSING
Communal housing for climate migration: Unpredictable and extreme climate fluctuation has triggered a new phenomenon; global climate migration. Droughts and floods in highly populated areas are forcing large populations to relocate to more suitable, but perhaps unfamiliar, weather conditions. Housing this population will require designing for climate, and designing for change. The Design Studio focuses on questions of familiarity, unfamiliarity and transference within the domestic space.

Part I Spatial Explorations
Students explore potential spaces for climate migration dwelling by designing a small space in response to a given environmental condition. Creating a volume with spatially constrained dimensions on an abstract site. The outcome of this exercise will allow students to develop architectural ideas and explore their use for dwelling, rather than adopting normative notions of dwelling. The generic will be avoided and ideas from this exercise will carry forward into the larger housing project. Elevations

Part II: Acclimate Housing
The final assignment is the design of a climatological housing project in Medellin Colombia based on the climatic site analysis, projective analysis and dwelling exercise. I have chosen a site along the transect and will propose a specific response to that site and its requirements. The final building must provide a maximum of 35 dwelling units and it is to follow the specific typology studied with the intention of inventing and evolving it to mitigate current environmental constraints.

Learning from the previous projects, I wanted to create a series of meshes that respond to Medellin's specific micro climate. The site situated north east Medellin contains sloped housing with prevailing winds towards the North. Using this climatic condition I used meshes with specific apertures to provide natural ventilation for a specific residential space.

Re_Hub proposes a transit oriented network of cultural institutions that connect to one-another at a regional or national scale. Each center proposed is a node in an infrastructural network. Re-Hub is the first of a future national development. Sunland Park offers a great opportunity to implement strategies for a transit oriented city, bringing compact mixed-used development within walking distances of high capacity transit system. Re-Hub is the backbone to this areas development by providing a central bus hub that will accommodate future development. Re-Hub proposes a new transit system for Sunland Park providing vibrant streetscape, and smart bus stops with a hyper central bus hub serviced with a proposed museum. The Nature Experience Center (Nature and Science museum) explores the local natural landscape, and provides a formal space for it as well as the small fossil formation and vegetation seen on the mountain. The Nature Center, along with the hub triggers future development for the emerging Sunland Park entertainment district.
