PROFILE
I'm focused on visual and architecture design, through dynamic composition, color and breathtaking spaces, working across multiple disciplines. I am able to take ideas from concepts in prototypes of design and architecture, starting with hand drawing, until developing spaces in regulated and parameterized elements. My architectural and visual prototypes take their references from great architects who inspire me, such as Zaha Hadid, Snøhetta Architects, Toyo Ito or Frank Gehry, looking for impossible shapes that inhabit the space and give it its own life, as well as artists like Basquiat or Picasso, with an aggressive, powerful vision of art.

PFC - 2018
PROJECT: STYX is the Final Thesis for the Bachelor Degree. It is located in the city of Ponce, in the south of Puerto Rico. Economic and social problems of the country and the city were studied to implement a huge training complex for elite athletes in the Extreme Sports Disciplines, in order to create a new focus for the world, establishing the World Headquarters of these sports, with a clamite that allows athletes to train most of the year, without seasons, a great geographical location,due to being a bridge between North America, South America and Europe, where most of the competitions of those sports take place. As background for the transformation of these athletes, it was taken Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, in its first part, dedicated to Hell, as a metaphor for human sacrifice to achieve sports excellence that goes beyond values and established scales, in which the costs for the evolution of each discipline brings death risk. For there reasons, both in it genesis and in its shapes and design, references and symbology to Dante’s work are used, as well as other icons of the popular culture of the Caribbean Sea, such as Golden Age of Piracy.
VISUALIZATIONS PROJECT:STYX
(Denggao, China) A center for hikers in the rural village of Denggao with the great importance of the environment and focused on natural tourism with a base for hot air balloons as a claim to admire the richness landscape
ONION SIXTEEN Medical Center
(Coronado Bay, San Diego, CA) Located in the Coronado Bay in the city of San Diego, CA. a medical center is proposed as a constructive exercise to integrate prefabricated steel, concrete and wood systems. The concrete is used in the center of the building, attached with steel elements on two of its sides and also joined into a wooden system that imagines the trunk of the trees in the area.
SAN JUAN LAKE Park & Complex
(Community of Madrid, Espaùa) San Juan Lake is a big lake west of Madrid, Spain. This project has to offer some possibilities in the area, adding some alternative and complementary activities to the location, as new hiking routes, hot air balloon trips around the environment, river raft descent, bike courses... ​ On the southeast side of the lake, a new project is proposed, a new lakeside green park, with big leisure areas, resting zones, surrounded by a multitude of shops, restaurants and cafes.
S.J.E “JOHNNY” COLLEGE RENOVATION (Madrid, Spain)
The San Juan Evangelista is a residence for college student in Madrid, Spain. This is an historical building and throughout the years, it has been getting named commonly by people as “Johnny”. Actually, this building is in a semi-ruinous state, closed its activity many years ago and the project faces its renovation, as new residence for students, adapted to the new needs of students.
SWISS EMBASSY (MADRID) (Madrid, Spain)
A hypothetical development project for the Swiss Embassy in the city of Madrid. We implemented the technical systems necessary to achieve the best conditions of climatic comfort and operation. The cores of the project are the air conditioning, sanitation and ventilation systems. Adding the minimum conditions required by law for fire safety, maximum noise levels, evacuation and accessibility for people with disabilities. In addition, our focus was in the house of the ambassador of Switzerland, doing a detailed study of its comfort conditions, located on the roof of one of the volumes. This project was made in collaboration with Carlos González and Juan Serrano.
SAN FERMÍN RIVER PARK (Madrid, Spain)
The project focuses on creating a new river park in the Manzanares River, as an equipment of the new San Fermin district, which is generated complementary to this park. For this purpose, a series of platforms are used, mixing stone-like materials with wood and gardens of the indigenous plant species of the area, generating a natural claim to add to this new district of San Fermin. It has given importance to the tours along the riverside as it passes through the complex to support both the walk of passers-by and the relaxed stay.
“ALPAKKA� FINNISH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (Segovia, Spain)
BBased on the Finnish pedagogy, the project describes a space adapted to the values of this way of teaching, with collaborative spaces, varied disciplines and community activity in a big elementary international school located nearby the Spanish city of Segovia. The project has also been focused on a little apartment for the security guard and his family, who must permanently live in the premises to monitor, inside the building.
STARTUP COMMUNITY CAMPUS (Madrid, Spain)
The “DOT_COM CAMPUS� is a community for young people who seek with dedication to take forward initiatives involved in the networks, based on new technologies and forms of creation. Each module is a collective housing, of 2 to 4 people, who work on shared or complementary projects, and are interwoven between them by perimeter routes with common areas of the workshop or relaxation, or with elements dedicated to the export of ideas and projects to the world business. These strategies are based on the creation of startups from the idea to take them to the highest global level, with the means that this campus can provide.
ALTERNATIVE SLUM PROGRAM (S.A.P.) (Madrid, Spain)
In the old part of Madrid a new urban development is proposed, a reinterpretation of the “slum” concept, occupying the south side of the ancient bridge in Calle Segovia and building a new urban settlement, which provides people with low resources, a home to live in. Born from an agressive structure as support of the main idea, the slum is going to deploy all across the lower area of the bridge, as well as the side of it. The planned grid in the floor plan goes up the slope, concentrating on certain areas and shaping the modules of occupation, which as it meets the bridge (vertical element), climbs through it and stays on a screen that it perfectly shows the reticle and its geometry, enclosing within the bridge more units of the slum.
“MONK VACATION HOUSE” (Madrid, Spain)
One of the first projects for the Architecture Degree, here we confront an hypothetical idea of a vacation house for a buddhish monk, with the challenge of creating some spaces that can break the balance of the buddhish mindset. Not at philosophy level, but with architecture shapes, using sharp edges, organic unbalanced forms and breaking spaces at perceptive vision. For sustainability and enviromental friendly prespective, the house has a anti-pollution facade, which absorbs air pollution.
