Bio Andrew Portugal Anaheim, CA alportugal@cpp.edu
My name is Andrew, and I am a 5th-year student at Cal Poly Pomona. I’m looking to gain experi ence in a design firm environment where I can grow my professional and design-thinking abili ties. My design interests are focused on creating sustainable and uplifting architectural futures for the communities around me, both in terms of combating the oncoming climate crisis and aiding those who live in places underserved by urban, architectural, and environmental infra structure.

Vetter Mountain Scientist’s Retreat
Students were tasked with designing a research facility situated atop Vetter Mountain, a summit with 5911 feet of elevation sitting amongst the San Gabriel Mountains in the Angeles National Forest. The facility would act as a retreat for 2 scientists to conduct astronomical research for one month at a time and as an education center for the general public, visitors, and recreational guests such as hikers and bikers.
The proposed design exentuates the idea of the building acting as a vehicle of circulation across the site. A bridge structure connected to a tower spans across the site and touches down on the upper and lower summit pads. An ‘attachment’ is added to the southern facade, which allows for circulation across the site and in to the facility’s main program space which exists in the bridge portion. A sprawling ramp works in tandem with the building to provide for a continuous flow of circulation between the summit pads and private scientist quarters.

Los Feliz Mixed-Use Housing
The market-rate, mixed-use housing proposal in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles focuses on the use of a terraced structure and splaying mass pattern. These concepts respond to sunlight, wind patterns, views, and harbor an interactive tenant community connecting to the surrounding neighborhood.
Ample bridges extrude from terraces at each residential level of two towers, connecting circu lation paths as well as activating generous common open spaces for residents. The bridges foster a highly interactive community connected through community gardens, lounging areas, and stairwells. By stepping downwards, the terraced masses also allow for views in both di rections for residents while allowing for lighting and shade at different times of day.
A stripe-painted pattern with a raised crosswalk connects the project to a public plaza visu ally and physically. This enhanced connection with the public realm creates a gateway to the neighborhood of Los Feliz, establishing a shared public gathering space for residents, pedes trians, and tourists.

Skovshoved Sailing Roof
Located at the tip of Skovshoved Harbor -- a former fishing village 5 miles north of Copenha gen, Denmark -- the project aims at creating a beacon of Danish seafood culture that pays homage to the maritime history of the site. Underneath its sweeping roof form inspired by the flowing sails and masts scattered across the harbor landscape, a transparent flow of cooking, learning, and teaching is facilitated through a glass curtain wall construction sup ported by flying steel beams and gridded columns.
Visitors are invited in to the building by the pathways that sprawl out of it and across the site, facilitating circulation between the indoor teaching kitchens and outdoor learning spac es. The pathways change in size to accommodate space requirements for exterior cooking spaces and mimic the form of the undulating roof. The expansions and contractions of the roof on the exterior of the building help denote these exterior learning spaces, further engag ing the public in both traditional and newer, more sustainable methods of seafood preparation emerging within the community and country at large.

Sans Serif Chronicles
In this intermediate digital design studio, students explored and created a 3-dimensional structure from a 2-dimensional fields of letters from the Sans Serif font family. A heirarchy of spaces was created and a stair was inserted to connect these spaces within the object. Students then spliced the object through the creation of a ‘drawdel’: a hybrid drawing-model creation.
The resulting drawdel attempts to highlight the verticallity of spaces and the circulation between them within the object. This is acheived through the use of an axonometric section projection mixed with 3-D printed printed model pieces that coincide with the section cut.
