AMPARITO MARTINEZ

About Amparito Martinez is a graduate from the Southern California Institute of Architecture with a Master of Architecture, and a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Science in Architecture from University of Illinois at Chicago. There, she served president of her schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter of Arquitectos, a Latinobased non-proďŹ t organization committed to enriching the community by developing young architects. She is now currently serving as a website and media consultant to the Arquitectos Professional chapter. Her journey at SCI-Arc, has thought her a digital medium of the architectural discipline. Her challenge is to re-imagine and re-think the perception of space that transcend into a deep perceptual

narrative,

emotional

and

aesthetic

dimension.

She believes architecture dives into the world of storytelling, emotional illusionism, metaphoric design and poetic forms.

SOUND MANNER GRADUATE THESIS - VIDEO SOUND| SPACE | MATERIALS

THESIS SCI-Arc - SUMMER

Sound is a spatial event, an auditory experience that unfolds over time. Even though sound does not have a physical form, it can be described using vectors of distance, direction, and location. Every space can modify, position, reďŹ&#x201A;ect or reverberate the sounds that can occur. Sound can be understood as an architectural process that works in the ďŹ eld of acoustics but also transcends into emotional and aesthetic dimensions. Giving content not just to the acoustical aspect but also designing architecture with sound to tell a story of a space. Sound is considered an invisible layer of architecture, a sonically perceived space that is not necessarily dependent on the visual stimuli. In that sense, sound does not necessarily need to match the supposed acoustic characteristics of a visual space but can be thought about as a way of altering the perceptual narrative and emotional aspects of that space. By altering the sounds in a space our perception of that setting begins to question what the circumstance or event of that space is. This thesis video is an empirical study of sound of the perception of the built environment of downtown Los Angeles, as an architectural design space. By understanding the different layers of sound manners, we begin to dissect the qualities of the built environment. Each sound has their own reaction and behavior towards the environment. In the way of resolving the subjective-objective and diegetic and non-diegetic dynamics. By brining all these auditory experiences into a single setting that allows us to experience the built environment and the public. Giving the individual a perceptual narrative of that space.

Sound Manners

Are 3 types of sounds that have their own reaction and behavior towards the environment. Soft-Mannered Low gentle sounds of the built environment that are not given extremes of emotions. Ill-Mannered THESIS SCI-Arc - SUMMER

Sounds that are considered undesirable to the ear, disruptive and interrupt the built environment sounds. Strong-Mannered Extremely loud sound elements of the built environment.

MIRCOHOUSING WORKSHOP II SCAN | PROCESS | AGGREGATE

2GAX SCI-Arc - FALL

Located in a city that is desperate for housing but have minimal development opportunities, our project proposal examines sites such as parking lots, voids created by different building scales and empty street scape with existing street furniture. The sites are centrally located in Downtown LA on Broadway and 3rd St. These sites have a potential to be infilled with high density housing. This then begins to address the housing crisis in LA. With the three mainsites, we wanted to maximize them to their full potential without implementing a totallyreconfiguration of the exciting, meaning the existing city would stay intact. We begin to address the idea of growth and expansion, through these multiple sites, that infill unused spaces in Downtown LA.

LA ORN WORKSHOP III SCAN | RE-MESHED | PARTI In our tower were interested in capturing most of ornamented facades of downtown LA into the tower. With the use of photo geometry scanning we samples varies options of ornamented facades. The use of stacking these faรงade pieces we begin to articulate a new type of faรงade. By breaking the faรงade, we begin to outline interior features of the station. The subtracted areas start to reveal a colorful layer that melts into the ground. The melted color merges into the Union Plaza. 2GAX SCI-Arc - FALL

Along with the experimentation of the remeshing and model layering we also begin to look at the resolution of faรงade details. With the use of resin dripping, the most emphasize details are the most prominent ornamental features. If we begin to shift the prominent ornamental features we start to loose the legibility of where one piece begins and one piece ends.

TKA MATERIAL & TECTONICS BUILDING | SYSTEM | CONSTRUCTION

2GAX SCI-Arc - FALL

Herzog and DeMeuron sourced their inspiration for their addition to the Tai Qwun Heritage Center from the granite blocks that compose the original prisonbuildings and revetment walls of the compound. By redesigning the block with cast aluminum, the designers were able to explore the block unit as both a component of a rainscreen and as a set of apertures that control light. The resulting four standardized block shapes created a dynamic aesthetic composition on the buildings facades, elegantly marrying context, function and beauty. Keeping with the layered complexity of the facade, our team has reimagined the standardized unit as laser cut and machine folded sheets of stainless steel. The resulting implications of using ﬂat media instead of cast blocks begged for formal shifts in the buildingʼs mass that would not have been possible with a standardized cast aluminum block. By deforming the exterior trusses of the building, and treating the exterior truss as a cage that supports interior free plans, the layered rainscreen and the buildingʼs program begin to share common themes of layering, variety in type, and functional utility.

SUPER  IMPOSED DESIGN STUDIO PARTI | DISPLACEMENT | TERRIAN Cities appear inside rooms, rooms move through cities, rooms are nested within rooms, here we are not just designing a library but spaces capable of undergoing a transformation of overlaying terrains and becoming mediating space from a city into a totally imaginative environment. The project takes you on a journey to this container from the city in search of knowledge jumping through spaces.

2GBX SCI-Arc - SPRING

The proposals expand beyond the typical resources of a library, providing previously inaccessible advanced technology in space desired and designed to tailored experiences. The program is divided into two Virtual and an actual library. The library is an aggregation of 7 sampled mountainous terrains stacked one above the other to form 3 shifting tectonic bodies. These bodies are supported by two towers. The towers include digital media, Mixed reality experiences, a Drone center, offices, and building core; while the stacked terrains organize the print media, reading rooms and stack areas. However, the 7th terrain creates the urban plaza which acts as event spaces for the library and the city. All that is encased within a thin container. The organization of library spaces within the terrains are reflections of the topography. At moments the organization is physically contaminated by high tech computational Rooms. These high tech violent interruptions are the soul of the library. All data processed in the library is distributed through these centers. The Library utilizes drones for circulation of data within the space and also for distribution throughout the city. The Drones are responsible for delivering books to a specific zone/terrain as requested by the user. The projections are a representation of the building interiors projected on to the city reading the building inside out. This proposal is a juxtaposition of actual and virtual, reality and speculative, humans and machines, high resolution and low resolution. However its an ecology of all these juxtapositions coexisting within the container.

The terrians collected are sample from different areas of the world. By superimposing abstract mechanical forms to create spaces and book containers, we beginning to reinterpret the design of typical library space. With the use of drones to extract the books from the book containers for easy accessibility. This will also allow for easy distrubution of the book through the city of Atlanta.

LABRARY DESIGN DEVELOPMENT TECTONTIC| ANIMATION| DEVELOPMENT This Atlanta public library proposal investigates issues related to the implementation of design: technology, the use of materials, systems integration, and the archetypal analytical strategies of force, order and character. In the library called the LABrary design we see a construction methods, analysis of building codes, the design of Structural and Mechanical systems, Environmental systems, Buildings service systems, the development of building materials and the integration of building components and systems.

3GAX SCI-Arc - FALL

LABrary will be shown in-depth with construction photographs, 3D renderings, and technical drawings and details. With a focus on the evolution of building design from concept to build form. Overlaying of digital information onto the built environment to both facilitate the construction and have everything derived from a single database. The primary part of our work will be an animated drawing set in form of a multi segment video. Each chapter will address one of the core topics of the seminar and offer different views, components, sizes, descriptions, energies, systems, vantage points, transparencies, materials, colors, scales, and so on. Please watch video for visual understanding of technicalities of project.

Long Day’s Journey Into Night VISUAL STUDIES FILM | STORYTELLING | VIRTUAL REALITY

3GAX SCI-Arc - FALL

The seminar focuses on development of a custom virtual reality atmosphere experience of a recreating of a film scene. The chosen film is Long Day’s Journey Into Night, where it is taken into 3ds Max and Cinema4D to recreate the film set. This film set is then recreated to represent a different aspect of the film. This experience is seen through visuals of the film scene with sound to help recreate the scene but to show another level of detail that is not shown in the film. With VR the user can experience the film at a different level that might not be seen on screen.
