ABSTRACT This document aims to present a critical reflection about my learning journey and my vision as an architect in continuous development. I understand space as a complex of dimentions that compiles the spitirual dimention of architecture, because I believe it is not the physical statement of individual components, but the qualities that these components working in harmony evoke within a conscious perception what moves us.
Rockefeller Center, NYC. August 2012
I aim to configure and materialize architecture capable of growing and transforming with the user and his physical and spiritual needs, where the final result becomes as flexible as the design process, daily routines, and life itself. In my quest, I analyze architectural processes and extensions from gestation, starting with the bases of architectural concept, following with the design process, and concluding with the perception of the spatial solution
Brixton House
3 rd Semester [Space]
PROJECT - Small residence situated in the central area of the city for a single person or a young couple LOCATION - Venustiano Carranza #1555, S.L.P. Mex. AREA - 11 150 sq ft.
The project is presented as a linear sequence of
flexible spaces open to
interior courtyards. The formal language of the faรงade derives from the concept of fence as a separating barrier for a private home in a highly transited street, reinterpreting lthe traditional presentation of the object into an
expressive, directional element.
CONCEPTS
Space arrangement by activity 1. Free/flexible 2. Defined 3. Services
Defined circulation separate to living areas. Variable ceiling heights to liberate limited space Natural ligthing + ventilation through interior patios.

Ca単ada Bar 3 rd Semester [Concept]
PROJECT - Summer bar-lounge LOCATION - Ca単ada del Lobo, S.L.P, Mex. AREA - 56,607 sq ft.
Originating from the concept of fluency. the movement of the form defines spaces as it surrounds them, exposing at the same time primary circulation and general distribution of the project. The grandstand entails integration with the natural context as it adapts to the existing
site contours.

Considering the location of the property - a node between the largest city park and a main avenue, the idea was to merge two main concepts: lightness and visual permeability towards the park through the use of orthogonal shapes correspondeng to the urban language of the context.
Triangular prism mantains urban language. Apartments begin at 5th floor to maximize vistas. Shadow-generating terraces. Dynamism reminiscent of the movement of the air inside the park through terrace rotation.

Tangamanga Dental 5ยบ Semester [Expression]
As a sign within an urban context, special attention was paid to the language configured by the forms. Considering the nature of the system, clean geometric shapes, smooth textures, and neutral colors were sought for. Alternate vehucilar circulation proposed in response to the existing high-speed avenue. Space succession topologically respecting inticamy levels

House of Memory 7Âş Semester [Sevtille] Castilla 59, Seville, Spain LOCATION DESCRIPTION Exposition Building 12 700 sq ft. AREA
The formal language of the project is dictated by the premise of maximizing the preferred orientation, which translates into vertical slab displacement. The direction of the displacement ampliďŹ es the narrowness of the property, while the clean, straight lines of the proposed geometry counteract that of the existing boundaries without sacrificing lmiited space.
ORIENTATION
CONCEPTS Geometric contrast with immediate context Floor Plan reflected in Façade
GROUND FLOOR + SECTION CUT The functional idea is to respect the required privacy levels for each of the individual spaces it hosts, organized so that areas with higher transit are located on the lower level and unfolding vertically towards spaces of more silence and privacy.

AREA 36 600 sq ft.
The internal organization is an extension of the existing urban design, which is also
taken into account for the overall height as
well as for the treatment of the façade.
The project respects its immediate context, integrating with the environmnt through use use of colour and texture unwinding it’s
material expression towards the inside.

The formal presentation of the main façade allows for permeability without sacrificing privacy, achieving discrete independence from the street through a dynamic treatment of louvers and terraces.

Regarding the use of secondary parcels, the idea is configure them into functioning as a annexes of the project itself, extending beyond their boundaries and promoting the reutilization of an otherwise abandoned space.
