ARCHITECTURE
In collaboration with the architectural studio called: IĂąaki Echeverria arquitectos, this interactive museum dedicated to children, located in one of the main cities of MĂŠxico, Monterrey. This museum have been in construction for several years, changing the project for the better function of it in between the office and the clients.
My part in this museum was to fix the location of ighting of several floors, arrange the measures of a wooden installation, create a physical model of the ramps and actualize the floorplan of the underground cinema to the current changes. This project gave me the experience on working in an architectural project of big dimensions and understand the planning and different requirements between project design and construction specifications.

MEDIA ART | INDISCERNIBLE
What constitutes the universe is beyond the visible or tangible, it´s a series of different invisible layers overlapped in space that gives us an entire atmosphere of what we experience in a specific time, in a certain location. But how does all this layers would look like if everything in space was visible? “Art generally anticipates scientific revisions of reality” Indiscernible explores the laws of physics combined with art in order to understand how space, time and light work together to allow us to perceive the present as we do.
This project represents time, light and space. Space represented as a wooden sculpture in which the 3 planes of space (hight, depth and lenght) are visible.
A collaboration installation with the school dance Dock 11 and the openning of Pool Film Festival. Hors de l’ordinaire explores dance, movement combined with ordinary life and mixed with light design, video edition and music.
Time, a grid of threats which represent the past, present and future events creating a grid with space and forming the 4th dimension space-time continuum.
The concept parts from the idea of the typical music box where we can find a little doll girl dancing to the music of the box in a monotonus way.
Light traveling as a particle and as a wave, as if it was possible to observe how it travels in slow motion.
The light box represent the literal extraction of this musical box combined with light.
The performance starts with the girl dancing to mechanic movements and then trying to escape the box when she realizes that there is something more beyond “the comfort zone” of the box. When she touches the box this starts glitching representing as if it was escaping and she is free to get out of it. Then the video projection starts and represents her dream as if she was free and if she could dance outside but then she decides to come back to the box because of nostalgic feelings.

URBAN DESIGN
In collaboration with the architectural studio called: IĂąaki Echeverria arquitectos, this park was design for a comunity inside Mexico called Atlacomulco. The park includes different open air activities such as: skate areas, football, volleyball, basketball, archery, bicicross, areas for contemplation and meditation and diverse flora and fauna.
My roll in the design of the park was to create the children playgrounds, and all the sport courtyards in details, designing and dealing with providers. This is a project of big dimension that requieres team work and comunication to providers, team members, directives and users in order to create the best design and collaborate in the best way in between each other so the outcome is the best for all parts.

INTERIOR DESIGN
Freelance project, remodelation of furniture, floors and ceilings of two bathrooms. The design and construction took aproximately 2 months. The walls for the first bathroom were selected as mexican obersaturated textures, with really sober grey tones for the floors, the ceiling and the furniture, playing with geometry and shapes to give a pleasant beautiful design.
The second bathroom was created with matching walls and floors, grey textures and white and black furniture, a minimalistic modern design. The design process with the construction was guided with the client requirements, to achieve the final design during the estimated time.
