A Real-Estate Agent interested in explore new possibilities in Venezuela‘s medium-high market asked for three different choices for single family houses, one of them have to be oriented to a young and professional buyer with a standard family - a couple and two kids The location and the surrounding conditions are not well defined, therefore the proposal is conceived as an isolated unit able to be combined with the other more conservative models. The House‘s location on lot is based
in standard venezuelan regulations and have to be adapted to local regulations after define the final location. The house divide the public or social program from the private one. Even the fathers are separated from childrens to have enough privacy but still having control on children‘s rooms. The lower floor is a free one to allow different configurations an posibilities, thinking in the active social life of young parents as well the huge family‘s partys.
Left page above: Upper floor | The rooms are separated by the staircase, that creates a two level space at the entrace from the garage. The scheme is very simetrical to make the entire house really consistent and balanced. Left page under: Lower floor | Thinking about the intense social use of common spaces, is proposed a floor plan that allow different variations and exploit the connection of the inner space and the garden, i.e. extending the kitchen to the garden
This page above: View from the street | The house‘s image is focused on the contrast of the upper volume‘s massiveness and the lower level‘s transparency. The front door is conceived as a stereotypical social machine, also it‘s located in the middle axis with a contrasting image, an image of what a frontdoor have to be. This page under: View from the garage entrance | The private spaces are located apart, to emphasize that there are only small doors, that are emphasized by the contrasting lighting

The Youth Orchestra System ‚Simón Bolívar‘, an important music program directed by master José Antonio Abreu for more than 35 years, is experimenting at this time a consolidation phase focused on the building of seats in every region of Venezuela. The task was to define a system that accomplish with the functions as a façade solar protection system and fits to the use as a whole to be the main element of the access plaza‘s roof. Additionally to those conditions the system would be easy to build and low maintenance.
The proposal consist in a hexagonalgrid based - 8x5 meters each cell - that allows deformations in every node in a range from 0 to 30 degrees with variations of 5º. Made of linear elements with standarized lengths and simple montage, all the panels are planar and were proposed as perforated elements to enhance the the dramatic game of light. Piazza‘s roof is composed by two layers to enhance the roof‘s plasticity and to maximize the shadow‘s game.
Opposite Above: Closeup from Piazza‘s roof | Areas where are two layers of panels are dense creating variations in the shadows Above: System‘s front view | The roof was planned to have a sinous profil, but the main directions emphazise the building‘s main access.

Housing in Venezuela is an very important matter. The housing deficit is around 3.000.000 units and every year are produced no more than 70.000 units. The ministry of Housing and Public Works grounded an unit to take charge of the design and research of new prototypes that fit to the social needs and can be faster and better build. Taking this in mind the design unit have developed different prototypes that fit to different conditions - urban areas, rural areas, high density, shanty towns, and other cases identified - and are part of a system that starts with idea that the housing unit is a family, so a groups of families are a community and a
group of communities are a major community, or the same a group of housing units are a building, a group of buildings are a ‚block‘ and a group of ‚blocks‘ are a planning area. This simple idea drove the design of a serie of interchangeable housing units that allow the designers and developers achieve different configurations of density, image, characteristics, etc. Most of the construction pieces of the houses are interchangeable and can be easy industrialized in community factories, creating not only homes but also jobs.
Opposite page: Front view of the urban single family house prototype | The relatively small ground area allows to build more houses with less infrastructure grids, saving resources and maximizing the acceso to them Above: Aerial view of the standard urban block with multifamily housing prototypes | The idea of the block comes from the spanish foundation cities. Most of the cities in Venezuela where founded under the guidelines of the India‘s Law by the spanish conquerors, those sectors are the most efďŹ cient sectors of the cities due to different reasons such as the mixed use, the inclusion of parks in the urban grid, the order of the public services and infraestructure, etc. In this way that seems to be the best way to approach to the reconstitution of the venezuelan cities, theres above an 60% of he population that lives in no formal conditions, that means a serios disbalance in the acces to basic infraestructure and services, like security or water. Right: View of an isolated multifamily house | The design of the blocks as standardized pieces is to include not only the buildings but also all the urban elements like public telephones, trashcans, trafďŹ c lightings and other elements. Also the lower leves in the street sides are dedicated to small community comerce to promote the mixed use developments Under: general view of a block core | Those cores are not only to park the cars, even the most important use is the recreational one. Every block have a vast recreative area that can be adapted in function to the general shape of the development, constituing a grid of public spaces that enhances the life quality.

In the major military facility in Caracas - Venezuela‘s capital - is located a hotel complex to host military visitors as well civilian ones. Due to the importance of this location and the lack of theaters with a capacity over 1.000 spectators in Caracas was called an architectural competition to present schemes for an urban hotel with 300 rooms associated to a theater with capacity to 3.000 spectators. This proposal won the first place and gets on the project phase to develop the complete construction project.
The project divides the program in four ‚pieces‘. The first one are the rooms, that are located in a very long volume that works as screen an goes into the mountain in one of its extremes. That volumen is ‚flying‘ over a piazza and the recreation spaces. That cut in the building volumen is made at the pool level, located in the small hill in front of the hotel.

The concept was very simple, the climb to the hilltop was conceived as a pilgrimage that ends in a small piazza hidden behind a tall perforated-brick wall, that works as an extension of the chapel in special services. The chapel and the cript are contained in one building, simply made of bricks and concrete expressing humility and character, both of them features of Carmelites Order. The buildings also need a very low maintenance and have a „massiveness“ that comforts the pilgrim. The vast employ of perforated-brick, also it helps to maintain comfortable temperatures inside the buildings without mechanical systems.
