PROJECT STATUS: ONGOING
Al Marjan island is a man made developmental project extending 4.5 km into the Red Sea and covering roughly 2.7 square kilometers (2.7 million square meters). Located in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate in UAE, the project is divided among four islands. The landscape design focus covered in EDSA’s landscape intervention is the northernmost island of Al Marjan and includes commercial and residential development.
The landscape scope of the project inter-crosses with the development of external consultants and is coordinated to facilitate organization and project progress. The scope of work includes and is limited to the design and all corresponding organization of hardscapes, grading, tree planting and shrub planting, which can take place both as part of the landscape formation, external to built structures, as well as on or in these structures, depending on collaborative design requirements across disciplines.
The full scope model shows the layering of all areas covered in the landscape scope: hardscapes, grading, trees and shrubs, designed for easy reading for internal and external collaborators.
Varying models share a same base with varying disciplines layered over to communicate most effectively to a variety of understanding needs, inter mixing information across different collaborators.
HARDSCAPES
GRADING
TREE PLANTING SHRUBS
Set in rough chronological order according to project processes, as the landforms are defined, they are graded and taken into account for the setting out of hardscapes, as defined within the projects scope of work and limits. Following the definition of these, the planting is defined, divided between trees and shrubs, organizing between existing features, and features to be added

PROJECT STATUS: DESIGN ROUND
Purchased initially from a public water sanitation plant in 1997, the lot today holds 3 buildings surrounding a central patio with the first building located along Avenue Figueroa Alcorta maintaining the original industrial structure adapted to meet the universitys’ needs. In 2019 the University held a 2 stage competition for the design of a new building to replace the existing one along Saenz Valiente, which was completed in 2020. In 2022 the university held another open competition for the design of another building, this one facing the original as well as the central patio. The following is a proposal for this call.
The design takes reference from the 2 main pre-existing buildings on the lot. The internal distribution and facade follow the respective modulations of the previously mentioned buildings, producing a visual and organizational relationship in harmony with the existing conditions. The internal programmatic distribution runs from the free flowing spaces on the lower floors, to progressively more structured spaces moving to the higher floors.

PROJECT STATUS: WORK IN PROGRESS
Hidden Valley is a housing development proposal located in the southern Patagonian region of Argentina, in the municipality of Villa la Angostura. This small town that has seen a gradual growth over the last 20 years, with an exponential jump during the two years of pandemic lock downs where primarily urban populations relocated to less dense areas. The neighborhood proposal is located along the slopes of the Cerro Bayo mountain, with many of the lots within the area situated on heavily inclined terrains. The first house designed for the project is located on the fifth out of a total of ten plots, characterized by a less inclined slope and views of mountain ranges, the valley and Nahuel Huapi lake, all aspects taken into account in the volumetric and programmatic layout.
To maintain a certain degree of uniformity and spirit in the design of all the houses within the development, the design and process took a parametric approach through grasshopper as a modeling tool, allowing for the maintenance of the base requirements of ground occupation, structural thicknesses and floor plan minimum distances while permitting more flexibility in the other aspects of the design, primarily the proportions of the central patios and the inclination of the roof to greater serve different house designs depending on the inclination of their lots.
Grasshopper was chosen as a design tool due to the nature of the project development, with 10 lots considered in the initial stages of the project and the design intent of varying these according variable but defined parameters across these lots and their differing conditions, ranging from M2 to the degree of slope, given the location on the side of a mountain and the strict corresponding zoning conditions.

The L house is a private residence with 1100 m2 (11840 sqft)of covered area, on a site composed of 3 united neighboring lots totaling 2500 m2 (26909 sqft) in a private neighborhood near Punta del Este, Uruguay. The program is distributed between two floors, with the shared, functional, and guest areas occupying the ground floor, and the private areas occupying the second floor.
The volume itself is composed of curves, adjusting to the slight topographic contours of the site and its relation to the lake edge on which it is situated, creating an undulating movement and differentiating the spaces between the massive floor plan. The GRC facade accompanies the flow of the buildings volume generating a connection and continuity between all elements. The perforated metallic panels meshed in between these GRC “veins” at particular points create a patchwork of visual conditions between the interior and exterior, providing more privacy to the private areas in the layout.
PIECE NOMENCLATURE:
NERV. L0-L1-L2 BB
NERV. = NERVE
L0-L1-L2 = LEVELS INCLUDED
BB = PLACEMENT IN PLAN
REG. L2 M
REG. = REGULAR
L2 = LEVEL
M = PLACEMENT IN PLAN
IRR. L1 GG
IRR. = IRREGULAR
L1 = LEVEL
GG = PLACEMENT IN PLAN
The GRC facade has certain production imposed limits, primarily the cost of each unique mold and the maximum size permitted by the manufacturer. As such, each piece is 6.3 M long and has been designed to have repeating pieces at certain points along the facade where the floor plan curvature is regular.
The final design and nomenclature of these pieces fall into 3 categories: Nerves, which are the pieces that branch between more than 1 level, Regular pieces, which are those that can reuse a same mold, and Irregular pieces, which are those that need a single unique mold.
The lettering in plan serves to locate the pieces in plan, creating a final piece nomenclature organized as: [piece type] + [location level] + [alphabetic placement in plan]

PROJECT STATUS: COMPETITION ROUND 1
The Southbank Bratislava proposal is an architectural and urban planning project located on the Southbank of the Danube River, in an area perceived by the project sponsor as important to the economic and social development of the capital city, with the idea of creating a counterpoint to the emerging downtown and central business district on the facing bank of the project development area, across the river. The site area totals 85,000 m2 and, given the spirit of complementarity to the existing districts across the river and proposal requirements, is comprised of 35% offices, 15% retail spaces, and 50% residential blocks.
The project proposal values the proximity of the nearby historical center, the accessibility and ease provided by neighboring developments, the natural sights of the protected green corridor along the river and the view of the river itself. The building area arranged lineally along the axis of the flow of the river, terracing allowing for the lower residential buildings to not be overshadowed and have greater access to greenery and the Danube, while the offices grow from the river outwards taking greater advantage of the visual access to the historic city center.
