the cometa urbana is located in las flores, an informal city in colombia. las flores is a small fishing village with very little public space, creating trouble for local vendors to sell produce. there is also a major lack of light, which is a leading cause of danger in informal cities. the objective of this project was to answer the question, what do informal cities truly need to flourish? after visting the town and regognizing and researching the major problems, my partner and i proposed the cometa urbana.

SITE PROBLEMS:
SITE ANALYSIS:
the cometa urbana is a canopy and lantern proposed to help control the impact of informal gathering in public space. the pod will achieve this by being a kinetic structure that reacts to the environment, work-ing as an umbrella during the day, and a lantern throughout the night. it will also react to rain, wind, and music, providing the people protection, stablitly, and entertainment when needed. this system will be powered by the local bike tax-is, that my partner and i redesigned with solar panels to store energy and power the movement of the pod.
ENVIORNMENTAL REACTIONS:
POD MODULARITY:
THE BIKE when visiting las flores, my partner and i realzied there was a large presence of street culture and movenment in the city. unlike most cities, las flores had no motor vehicles. the people soley moved though bike taxis. attempting to both celebrate their street culture and give power to the city, we improved their bike system by gathering energy from colombia’s powerful sun as the bikes moved throughot the streets. simlar to the pods , the bike to will have multiple uses, providing vendors more opportunities to sell, imrpoving las flores’ economic state.
they can be everywhere.

the objective of this project was to design miami’s most prominent urban park below the city’s metrorail. due to its elevation, the metrorail is visually present as a line or threshold in the sky, but is often removed from day-to-day interaction for the average pedestrian.this project attempts to answer the question, is it possible to create a coherent experience in the shadow of the metrorail? the site is both static and dynamic including parking, transit stations, large mechanical buildings, shared pedestrian and bicycle paths, bridges, canals, and dangerous intersections.

intersection standards: one of the largest existing issues of the mpath is the failure to address safe crossings. along with a small group of students, i analyzed three different inersections, and proposed a standard for all conditions. this standard proposes a plaza-like scenario as a constant approach to promote an urban presence along the intersections.
path standards: the mpath’s lack of identity as a linear piece of urban infrastructre is evident. to address this issue, i analyzed the existing conditions of the site to identify prevailing issues. in response, i designed a landscape and lighting standard to create an inviting and safe urban trail for residents. over landscape:no visibility:unsafe

the objective of this project was to design a fish market that would be located river. this structure would need to address both the river, the movement of fish, toric lummus park, the movement of people. to do this, my partner and i proposed wall on the river’s edge, promoting the trade of fish while optimizing space for a
on the miami and the hisa transparent public plaza.

the objective of this project was to bring life back to the historic packard hotel. the only remaining wall, of this once lively spot, sits on el prado, havana’s main boulevard. my partner and i addressed the project by analyzing the block typology that charactarizes the city, and studying the history of the architecture that charms the streets. this led us to propose a courtyard building that engages el prado while preserving the character of the historic hotel.

the goal of the studio was to design and construct a mobile coffe kiosk for the school of architecture. the studio went through a process of design charettes that culminated in the final design. we wanted to create a structure that would serve as an icon to the school of architecture,being a social hub during the day and a lantern at night.

by exaggerating the height of the structure we created a tower that would be visible throughout campus. the louvered walls allow for cross-ventilation and comfortable lighting inside the kiosk. three of the four walls have foldable panels, opening the structure during the day. and allowing it to become a social hub.
