Community Support Center Shanghai, China | Spring 2013
View of entrance
My intentions with this project was to use architecture as a tool to re-humanize the understanding of value through a community support center in the city center of Shanghai, China. Through an alternative socio-economic system that recognizes the individual as an asset and gives value to human’s skill, knowledge, and time, society’s perception of wealth can be challenged. By defining the individual as the unit and the social fabric as the totality, society can reconceive its understanding of value. This project recognized that human development is a catalyst for economic development. The program called for 3 different spaces: the time bank, the support area, and the development area. Through the time bank, people with skills that are not necessarily given a value in the monetary system can exchange it for other people’s skill, time, and knowledge. Consequently, the support area provided esential services for the community while the development area promoted education as a tool for growth. The spaces were organized around courtyards that prioratized social interaction. 4

Pireaus Cultural Coast Athens, Greece | Fall 2012
Site Map
This project called for the redesign of the existing cereals’ stock house building facilities and its surrounding open space into a Museum for Underwater Antiquities in the port of Pireaus, Greece. It also included the regeneration of the coastal zone into an open public space for outdoor activities. Our approach to the project emphasized in the existing structure, building upon its industrial quality. The building’s openness becomes the catalyst to activate the Cultural Coast. The museum was organized around a main stairway that gave unity to the different levels. The building is organized around 6 axis that corresponded to different exhibition areas: Sea, Man and Environment, Time Capsules, Underwater Archaeology, Migrating to Land or Staying in the Seabed, and Shipwrecks. The program focused on interactive spaces that emphasized knowledge and gave life to the Cultural Coast. 8

Bertone apartment building in Quito
Single family residence in Quito’s suburbs
In the summer of 2011 and the summer of 2012 I had the opportunity to intern with Jaime Miranda y Asociados in Quito, Ecuador. I was part of a variety of teams in the office that allowed me to work in diverse range of projects. I was involved mainly in residential projects that ranged from multi-unit housing projects, apartment buildings,and single-family residences. I gained a significant amount of experience in the design field as well as technical knowledge. I was also responsible for creating images which were later used for marketing purposes and for client meetings which I also had the opportunity to take part in. 12

Rainbow Network Headquarters Managua, Nicaragua | Spring 2012
Nicaragua
Master Plan
Campus Plan
This project was in collaboration with the Rainbow Network, an organization that develops long-term innovative solutions for impoverished communities in Nicaragua. Through innovative and sustainable solutions, the projects enable the poor to break the cycle of poverty by becoming self-sufficient. Along with two more colleagues, we were involved in the design and development of the headquarters in Managua, Nicaragua. Our intent with the project was to create an educational experience through gathering space which act as resource for a self-reliant lifestyle. Due to Nicaragua’s location, the country is prone to earthquakes which made fundamental to generate a design that responded to these site conditions. Through the use of Bamboo Caùa Guadua, a material readily available and with a high tensile strength, the design was given character while being seismic-resistant. 14

View of Plaza
During my study abroad semester in Greece I had the opportunity to work in a local project that involved the urban development of the Ethnegersias square, the northwest end of Aigina’s waterfront. My intentions for this project was to develop a public area that creates a transition for the different layers of Aigina that generates unity through movement. The space would bring together the past and present history of the island, enhance the water and land connection, merge its function as a destination and circulation space, and address the interests of tourist and locals. The proposal includes the relocation of the main public space in order to enhance the connection with the water as well as giving cohesion to the site. It was also essential to address the needs of the various transportation modes present in the site, including ferries, taxis, buses, amongst others. Moreover, outdoor exhibition areas, a library and a stage will transform the plaza into an outdoor cultural center.

Mobile and Kaleidoscope Store Eureka Spring, AK| Fall 2009
Detailed model

Street view
Model
During the Fall semester of second year we designed a Mobile and Kaleidoscope store in Eureka Spring, AK. The space give, was situated at the end of Spring Street with the main facade facing west, resulting in a design responsive to environmental conditions. The program called for an office space, a counter for display, storage, and retail. My intentions with this building was to create a building that had horizontal movement and that would give an end to Spring Street. By using horizontal elements that framed the display window, the visitor’s eyes are given a direction. Also, by tilting the roof upwards, the view is extended, taking the visitor’s view passed crowded and hectic Spring Street and towards the beautiful landscape of the area. The interior, a central gallery space gives order to the building, which allowed the exhibition of large kaleidoscopes and mobiles. Vertical circulation became an essential component of the building, which ended in an exterior balcony that would enhance not only the merchandise being sold, but also the environment. 20
Farmer’s Market Springfield, MO| Spring 2009
Stalls leading to recreational area

Detail of recreational area
In the Spring semester of first year I designed a farmer’s market in downtown Springfield. With the growing trend of organic products, and the lack of a farmer’s market in downtown Springfield, the exploration of one became an eminent need. The proposed program included a community space, a series of stalls, a classroom area, and a performance stage. The space was organized by a series of stalls that lead to the recreation area. The stalls were designed in a way that would serve both people experiencing the market and farmers stalking their stalls. The recreation area was characterized by a family friendly environment that encouraged the community interaction. Furthermore, the design intend was to incorporate the new structure to the existing structure, responding to material qualities and site arrangements. Furthermore, the intentions of the design was to incorporate pedestrian and vehicular movement within the farmer’s market. The prosed market will respond to the current and future needs of the Springfield community. 21
