Many paths, one life
I can say that thanks to my mom I got so perfectionist but in a good way. I’ve also been raised in a family’s business so I got the entrepreneur vein. The architecture and the entrepreneurship mix it’s wonderful because I was thinking very differently from the rest of my classmates at a very young age. Although it may be very stressful to think differently from others, it’s exciting too. I just love it. I can’t wait to further expand my knowledge and my expertise in certain such as design, architecture, photography, music, films and industrial design. I believe it will take me closer in accomplishing my goals. Interests Design Architecture Photography Music/Films Industrial Design
To my family for all the support they gave to me during the past few years. For believing in me no matter what. Also, I want to thank to those professors that guided me through this adventure. Thanks!

Through our design courses we are mainly exposed to projects that are develop in sites within Puerto Rico. However at the Competition Studio we had the opportunity to propose conceptual designs for many other cities and contexts.

This was the very first project we were asked to create a relationship composition between two images. This pencil work introduce us how to express our ideas through handdrafting.
BI-DIMENSIONAL TO TRI-DIMENSIONAL RELIEVE Spacial exploration and form conceptualization are topics developed through this work. Using a paint by a puertorrican artist, Olga Albizu. I analized layers, depth, form and shadows in order to represent it in the tri-dimensional model.

Fundaments of Design I Professor: Esteban L. Sennyey Halazs First Semester: (August 2011- December 2011) At the first semester we are introduce to the basic elements about design and composition. We explore with different bi-dimensional, and also tri-dimensional forms of representation. Those techniques as a base for all design core courses.

As artist, Nick Quijano usually uses things he finds within Old San Juan to make his sculptures. Also he enjoys to be in contact with the outdoors in the comodity of his home. For those reasons, the design aims to a modern intervention that conserves existing materials and creates a dialogue between both. Simplicity is a powerful expression. The aperture in the spaces provide all natural light and ventilation.

[4.1] THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURSE ON EARTH
[SHELTER] LIFE: WATER
[4.1] Competition Studio Professors: Carlos J. García + Francisco J. Rodríguez Seventh Semester: (August 2014 - December 2014)
WHY WATER? Considering the actual and future lack of good sources of water in several places and communities around the world the purpose of the project is to provide water and potable water to those communities. WHERE: countries with extreme water problems:
1. Somalia • 2. Mauritania • 3. Sudan • 4. Nigeria • 5. iraq • 6. Uzbekistan • 7. pakistan • 8. Egypt • 9. turkmenistan • 10. Siria

When I think about a safe place or a safe scenario it can’t be conceived without the most essential resources. For that reason our response to re-think the shelter idea is to create a machine that provides the most important resources that allow us to live. WATER Colect + Use + [re]Use + Recycle

Since the conditions site at [Snowies, Australia] changes from summer to winter dastrically, these changes should be a possitive asset for the views inside the residence

Concept The importance of the residence are the experiences that each space gives to the user. The views are totally unbelievable because the facades are widely open and also transparent. The configuration, the division and the structure makes the idea posible.

CONDITIONS V-9 V-9
The Blocks are grouped in clusters of no more than the area of 6 regular ones. Depending on the function of the particular blocks, the grouping scheme varies. Right now, most of the space is fully occupied by
motor vehicles and the distribution of program does not promote a complete integration between the people and the area.

NO grouping when: There are hospitals H-10
6 blocks (or 1 large and 2 small) when: There are public spaces There are monuments There are educational buildings 4 or 5 blocks when: There are shopping centers, e.g. marketplaces

ID0001680 American Pitbull Terrier is an amazing outdoor breed. Passive and equilibrated dogs but so athletics. They are usually medium size. As sleepers they enjoy good places to sleep. They love to play outdoors with their owners. A minimalist design featuring the water as the sustainable element of the house represent the esence of this breed. This house is supposed to collect the rainwater and preserve it in a water tank for the dog consumption.

We were asked to provide a general concept based on what the PISO Project represent a mobile floor, furnishings and a warehouse. After the jury evaluate the proposals they divide the work in several areas considering our presentations. Yaseli and I were assignated to develop and built the warehouse for parts of the mobile floor. We reuse existing wood.
YASELI WITH THE FINAL PRODUCT The experience was so satisfying. As a colaborative group the result overall was so great.
