SLOW WATER Acceleration Studio Housing Project in the South Bronx
The project aims to provide housing for primarily single mothers who share similar lifestyles and goals of raising their children within a supportive community. In this community, we recognize that clean water shapes everyday actions. This proposal for future living pushes for parentchild and parent-community interpersonal relationships guided by a spectrum of individual and shared water experiences. The dialogue within the proposed space leads families through programs oriented towards the use of water to improve livelihood. Our project hopes to bridge something beyond just an economic model of housing sustainability, striving for human driven empathetic spaces. Instead of a hard-line distinctions between spaces, the programs are interspersed amongst the living units, weaving in and out between spaces as a way to connect public and private, wet and dry, shared and individual.

DIALOGUES WITH THE COMMUNITY
“Sexual harassment is terrible. It’s an open season on women here.” - Mike, Bronx Documentary Center Director
“There are more kids than adults here, but there’s really nothing here for them. It’s not meant for kids to be here. There is nothing to do after school, no sports, clubs, or playgrounds.” - Fanta, 11th grader
“Flooding is a big issue in this area. You see a little bubble, and then a bigger bubble. I had to break the wall in my bathroom, and that’s how I got housing to come and fix things. You have to go to extreme measures to get housing to come. Have to go to the extreme to get any kind of attention.” “Plumbing is disgusting and old, stripped away, and rusted. When housing comes they break down the pipes and that creates an even bigger problem.” - Lenny, Local photographer
“What I like least about the neighborhood is probably hearing cops, ambulances and firefighters. The alarms are super annoying.” -Juan Davis, High School
“There are a lot of drunk people at night, really annoying. Usually they are sleeping on the streets at night.” - Juan Davis’ sister, elementary school

GREENPOINT THEATER Integrated Building Systems Versatile Theater at Greenpoint, NYC
The design must demonstrate systems expertise in fire protection, structures, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. In addition, systems must be integrated in an innovative way. The project should be presented conceptually, rationally and professionally while retaining creative and aesthetic integrity. The Greenpoint Theater is a primarily civic space that engages and acknowledges its environment. The concept emerges from primary and secondary divisions that creates a composition from heavy to light, new to old, and man-made to nature relating to the program, surface, and structure. The project heavily focuses on mitigating flood, decreasing carbon footprint and waste, producing and conserving energy, engaging with the community, and creating comfortable, safe and efficient systems and spaces.

FACTORY OF (UN)TOLD STORIES Political illiteracy Library in the Sara D. Roosevelt Park, NYC
“Life is like being chained up in a cave forced to watch shadows flitting across a stone wall” – Plato in Allegory of the Cave, Chapter VII in “The Republic
The library of forcible displayed people intents to archive, produce, and share their stories, that are otherwise untold or forgotten. These untold stories potentially affect their following generations who often found themselves in an underprivileged position due to the inherited ignorance of their origin. Sharing stories not only allows forcibly displayed people to reclaim their identities and take control of their own life’s narrative, but also offers them an outlet to manage with lost and painful memories and emotions. Furthermore, it encourages understanding of their experiences to the audience, fostering empathy and literacy. Ultimately, through storytelling, the library creates the opportunity of reinvention, assisting them to produce new stories.

1. LAYERING + LIGHTING - PRECEDENT STUDY
Collecting stories develops an accumulation culture of the immaterial and material knowledge. In the detail studies, this phenomenon was translated into assemblage of a variety of details of buildings such as libraries, performing spaces, publishers, and galleries. The multiplicity of building typologies through layering detail sections initiates a dialogue between them.
2. ABSTRACTING + RE-CONTEXTUALIZING
Details, metaphorically, are the DNA of the building. By extracting them, changing its context through mutation such as sampling, rescaling, and projecting, the project departures from precision to abstraction blurring the DNA of each building.
3. ABSORBING + FRAGMENTING + PROJECTING
Books contain a linear condition starting with the cover, as the entrance of the book, moving from one page to the next, and organized by the spine. By dissolving the spine and fragmenting the sequence, the book has no longer a linear quality, but rather a field quality that allows an interwoven reading of the book. The cover of the book turns into memories of the buildings that one day will be no longer exist. These fragments of memories are archaeologically absorbed, metabolized, excavated, and projected to create fragments of new stories.
4. SYNTHESIZING + METABOLIZING
This last study become the shell of my library in which the acrylic pieces becomes the window to the new perspective that frames fragments of the building. Moreover, the shape of the shell absorbs the memories of the site, metabolizes and project new fragments and stories. The shell also has a dynamic nature in which the viewer will always have different perspectives when looking at the building.

HABITABLE CORE Public Spatial Infrastructure Grand Interior in Inwood and Washington Heights, NYC
The intervention explores elevator issues in affordable houses in the neighborhood in relation to Broadway. The elevator core is essential to the structure of a building, as well as to the organization and interaction of people, which consequently dictates the occupant’s everyday life. Adding a core to the skin of the building solves the issue of vertical circulation in case of long waits and breakdowns. It also displaces the “body and soul” of the community, creates habitable spaces, and provides privileged views of the city. Ultimately, this abstract machine can “parasite” on various sites to stabilize, connect, and strengthen affordable housing communities.

BOOKSHELF PROMENADE Capstone Studio Library for Young-Adult in Barcelona, Spain
The concept of “Bookshelf Promenade� is rooted in the metaphor in which the building becomes the bookshelf. The bookshelves not only function as book holders, but also function as the structure of the building. From this concept, a module was developed in which the shelving becomes part of the structure and the books the measurement of the building. The module organizes the space with the idea of a stationary inner core and a dynamic outer ring. This definition of spaces provides different conditions and experiences allowing the fulfillment of varies preferences of the user. Moreover, the project challenges the idea of a static library, in which the circulation induces people to move in the library improving their performance.

MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THE LEAST Sustainable Small Architecture Brick Restaurant in Barcelona, Spain
“Small is beautiful, a study of economics as if people mattered” - Ernst F. Schumacher.
The concept of the project is to celebrate and challenge the capacity and possibilities of bricks as a modular and accurate tool of design, creating curved elements to define a variety of spaces for human purpose in a sustainable way. The goal is to build the strictly necessary volume, taking advantage of existing base conditions as much as possible. Brick curved walls were used to create the spaces due to its decrease in needed material, its stability, and its ability to create intimate/open spaces. Three spaces with different conditions was resulted through only four structurally independent curved walls. Furthermore, all trees on site and the existing wall were preserved.

STRUCTURE Curved brick walls utilizes 70 % less brick than a straight wall. It is also more stable, which resist great lateral and/or compression loads. The walls are composed by two layers of brick. In between these walls, insulation, vapor barrier, and technical void for pipes and electrical chords are placed. The benches also contain ventilation tubes for return and supply. This multi-functionality of brick assembly allows us to gain space for placement of tables and a visually clean space. The mortar joints are thick, which not only creates an expressive texture, but also allows more flexibility in creating curves. Where the beam rests on the wall, an internal column resists the vertical loads, which can be seen on the change on brick pattern. The interior roof has wood panels between the beams. A glass skylight connects to the curved wall which allows sunlight that emphasizes the texture of the wall. On one side the roof allows penetration of light, on the other side it collects water flowing down the slightly sloped roof, which is later used for watering the trees and green areas.

ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION RESEARCH Research - Projection - Model - Animation Sesc Pompeia by Lina Bo Bardi in Sao Paulo, Brazil
Within the study of an architectural detail, one will often find the genetic make-up of its larger context. Isolation and abstraction of the minute allows one to re-evaluate the larger whole and understand it in a new way. In most cases, the context of the detail will be critical for the analysis. The assignment consists of four parts, each studying the building and detail using a specific form of representation: Research, projection, and model.

GOLDEN PILGRIM Rendering as Representation and Design Tool
Golden Pilgrim focuses in techniques of color, light, material, context, reflection, and opacity to create an meditative experience. “The Journey” explores the use one-point perspective and rule of thirds to pull in the viewer from the field of wheat into the building. “The Contemplation” investigates soft lighting and interior lighting as a strategy to enhance the materiality and shape of the building. The last part of the pilgrim is “The Encounter” in which the building reacts to direct lighting, reflection and refraction.

ARCHITECTURAL GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
Traveling has always been a passion of mine. It improves my architectural skills by exposing me to rich diversity of architecture and its impact on people and on the environment. During my 1-year study abroad program in Barcelona, I had the privilege to visit new cities. These cities were depicted through a series of architectural analytical sketching to record these new discoveries which are not only as a mere representation but an analytical one.
UPC (ETSAV) - Fall 2017 and Spring 2018| B.ARCH
ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPARISONS
During the same study abroad program, I have also taken pictures to record and analyze cities and its architecture. Visiting a variety of buildings allowed me to make comparisons between their architecture. These comparisons showed me how architecture is timeless where the same architectural elements can be used in different style of architecture and in different time period.

IMPRESSION OF SPRING Published work in Montage Magazine (2016) Based on Claude Monet’s “Antibes seen from Salis Gardens” (1888)
COLORS OF IMPRESSIONISM Acrylic on canvas
During summer break of 2015, I taught myself how to paint! The series of paintings are an exploration of the impressionism style based on Claude Monet’s paintings. The exploration also include how the colors influence the paintings to create a certain feeling to the viewer and the fine line between tradition technique and spontaneity in the strokes. Painting requires notions similar to Architecture, such as element composition, color composition, and background/mi-ground/front-ground.
PRIMARY SEED Based on Claude Monet’s “Flowers on the Bank of Seine near Vetheuil” (1880)
