I’m David Felipe Sierra a young architect, interested in the mathematics and physics approaches in the architecture. Thanks to the experience of work on team with people of different cultures, I’ve realized that in a project different points of view can be, not just the merge of ideas, but also complementary in the way to build a project from different perceptions. To come in Italy and became a double degree student is one of the experiences that made me grow the most, not only in my professional knowledge but also personally. Knowing a new countries and cultures gave me the opportunity to explore a new way of living and it allowed me also to exchange my own culture. In my experience the best way to understand a different culture, is to see what is behind their buildings and architecture, as if every detail was a footprint that history has left. At the same time I had the opportunities to travel around the world with vision as a architecture, in particular China and Europe, where I learned with my academic and personal experiences that architecture should be a positive force in re-interpreting cultural traditions and facilitating diversity.

Under the Market is a requalification and upgrade project of the Panjiayuan Market in Beijing. The original layout of the block creates a sealed off space to the city, our goal is to give back this space to the city connecting it to the surrounding urban tissue. The project is not just a functional upgrade but it wants to return to the city a public space that becomes an important “void� in the dense Beijing. In fact, our main goal is to project something that is not just a building but a social space where tradition in trading antique goods can meet the contemporary society and its needs. A careful study of the needs and of the circulation defined the basic shape of our project: a longitudinal building works like a dividing wall between the pedestrian public space on the north side of the area and the vehicular path on the back of it, on the South side. In this way we solved what in our opinion is the most important issue in circulation design: the separation of the pedestrian flow from the vehicular one. Rising the transverse wings we created a shelter suitable to welcome the flea market, preserving the identity and the social aspect of one of the most important event of the Panjiayuan Market and creating a continuous and extremely permeable public space that alternates gardens and squares.

Exhibition Sculpture garden
Facade: The façade of the permanent market is completely involved by vertical wooden slats, affixed to the surface of the wall. The cross section of
the slats is modulated in correspondence with the window strip so that requirements of sight and sun protection are fulfilled, and providing panoramic visuals. The window strips, which run along the edge of the internal corridor and halls, emphasis the visual relationship between outdoor/indoor. Exhibition: The exhibition mall is located in front of the big square, goes along the largest building, and passes through the courtyard. The exhibition building works as a bridge between the market area and the multifunctional buildings, connecting these two functions. The plan should be flexible in order to allow the subdivision of the space in small or medium rooms to expose different art and crafts of the Panjiuyuan market. Furthermore there are two kinds of exhibition:the first one is indoor, which exhibits art and craft, and the second is the sculpture garden located inside the courtyard of the multifunctional building, and work as a private garden.
Chinese Gardens: The design of green spaces on the courtyards is based on the traditional Chinese garden with a contemporary adaptation. Theseis gardens take design concepts with a new interpretation to recreate a green space with areas of relaxation and to go for a walk. First of all, before explaining the result, is essential to make an introduction of the Famous Chinese garden. There was also an interpretation of the principal elements which distinguish the Chinese garden: water, rocks and mountains. The idea is moving the eyelevel both horizontally and vertically, so that the stroller through the garden saw a constantly changing series of views. For this matter, the green areas are formed as small hills that create the organic passage, and to represent the water, there is some square with shallow steps to create places to relax. Permanent marlet: The concept used to design this area was to create an alternative way of distribution on a shopping mall, and instead of a straight circulation the idea is to propose dynamicity of walkways and the variety of spaces. Also the middle and high-level shops are mergedon the same space, without zoning classification. The result is a block of shops uses as a module that is repeated it over the buildings with halls in between.

URBAN Place: Millesimo, Italy Type: Bridge Year: Academic Project Politecnico Torino 2013
The design of a bridge is the perfect fusion between the architecture and civil engineering in which the esthetic composition is defined by the same structure form formal concepts The urban plan considered four pedestrian bridges as an urban piece to structure the public space around the river. The proposed bridge is beside an existent vehicular bridge. The dialogue of the current bridge is enhanced through the superposition of a new contemporary layer. The main idea was to offer an urban space that generates a place of social and cultural interaction for the citizens instead of a simple crossing path. The result was a “piazza bridge� that offer different spaces to stay and relax and enjoying a nice view.

1. Public house and Low pace The goal is the rethinking of a neighborhood in Torino that was originally dedicated to the workers of the nearby FIAT factories but unfortunately, today a lot of the apartments are abandoned. The standard apartment was designed for a family structure that has changed, therefore the apartments 2. Public Space and should adapt to a new kind of population. The approach is Vertical connection to reuse the apartments as residences for students or little families and adequate the rooftop as new spaces required for the new population. 2. Public Space and Vertical connection
2. Public Space and Vertical connection
The strategy is creating roofscapes that should be flexible and appeal to all resident types for various everyday use and activity. To tie the neighborhood, the landscape, the bridge and the rooftop together a span of continuous bands are used to create direct visual connection, through spaces and levels, and landscaping where access points and marked areas are desired.

The urban strategy is the requalification of the space, the integration of green zones and public spaces through new public services. The goal is to change education paradigms, beginning from the assumptions of current education that was design and conceived for a past age, and it must change according to the social needs of the new century as well as the learning spaces. So, the concept used was OPEN SCHOOL. environments insolate from the exterior

RESIDENCE VIS/VIP
Place: Bucaramanga, Colombia Type: Residential Low Cost Year: Undergraduate Academic Project PUJ 2010
The huge cost of soil affects the construction of residences of low cost in the Colombians cities, but the densification could be a strategy as an alternative solution. In the 2010 from the academic concourse “Convive V”, in the quarter Chapinero in Bucaramanga, it was propose a solution of residential densification of low cost as an answer to the city growth, and response to the increase of homelessness. The urban propose is grouping resident’s blocks of different heights to be less evident in the skyline of the zone and supply public or semipublic spaces a different levels.
there are Three typologyes of Apartment for differents familiy’s group. furthermore some apartments are disposed to permit felxibility of use the spaces, form rent one of the rooms or an office.

COFFEE GARDEN Place: Fusagasuga, Colombia Type: Restoration, Museum Year:
The proposal of the Botanical Garden in Fusagasugá, Colombia, born from the initiative of the Mayor to occupy a batch that used to be a Coffee Farm outside the city. Nonetheless, the project’s main objective was rejecting the idea of batch and replace it with the concept of Interlace all the elements of a Botanical Garden exploiting the essence of the coffee. Once this academic project was finished, the existing faded with the new tissue of buildings, water, different kind of vegetation and a whole new system to produce coffee. The project was known as “Jardín Del Café Almadía”.

EXPOPARK Place: Bogota, Colombia Type: Cultural Year: Undergraduate Academic Project PUJ 2009 The proposal of Expopark was born to recuperate all the Parkway in the quarter of Teusaquillo in Bogota and from the necessity of creating an integrative space in a urban context surrounded by several educational institutions. I proposed a Public Expositive center along the park, and the reuse of the park as a public space for the community and not like a parking as it’s now. The other idea was to guarantee a place of educative encounter and the regeneration of a green zone and public spaces at different levels. To mantein the atmosphere of an open park and supplies with new cover services, it was designed with high metalic structures and covered with stretched membrane ceilings.

The contest developed by Eternit, in which I won the first place Center Zone, called in architecture students from all the universities in the country to design a house that responded to an existing problem.
The project is a group of single-family houses with a chance to build a second floor. The form of these houses is made from the addition of cubes, the cover is wavy to take advantage of the flexibility and versatility the material provides, and most importantly to allow illumination and ventilation of the place. Besides, this curvature facilitates the recollection of rainwater. Module
ACUSTIC PROJECT Type:Technique of Physical Enviornment Year: 2012
The project consists to adequate an auditorium with several architectonics parameters that looking for the ac oustic comfort, it means, physics condition to satisfy acoustic requirements from the user in entertainment environments and at same time the control of the noise. The idea is hybrid auditoriums that permit to develop two uses: as a concert hall of music and as conference room. Since the requirements of each activity are different, the auditorium was design to be flexible and to satisfy both needs. For that the project focuses on the study of materials, ceiling (as acoustics reflectors), sidewalls and Eco’s phenomenon.

The project consists in adequating a classroom with several architectonics parameters that look for the luminance comfort, it means, the physic conditions to satisfy visual requirements for the user, avoiding glare in work surfaces. The project is divided first in the analytic study of the room, the project of natural illumination, the project of artificial illumination, and control system. The project of natural illumination is designed for multiple functions, protection from glare, solar shading and redirection. And the artificial illumination is projected to supply the luminance (500 lux) needed to develop an activity of study.

MODULE 1:1 Place: Bogota, Colombia Type: Construction Year: Workshop “Modul 1:1� 2008
The Workshop (Module scale 1:1) had the goal of making spatial relations and architectonic environments. The concept of the project was the constructivist movement. It had three different functional spaces, an expositive space, a panoramic space, and a space to meditate. The module was made in real scale, during a week with metallic frames and fabrics. It was then exposed in the campus for two weeks.
RAIZ CUADRADA Place: Bogota, Colombia Type: Digital Year: Workshop “Hipofisis Digital” 2011
Starting from the virtual parametric programs (grasshopper of Revit), the goal of the Workshop “Hipofesis digital” was to develop new habitable spaces for the future population, considering as a reference organic elements. As a group we proposed a complex of buildings based on the figure of tree branches. The structure was created with variable parameters that allowed them to be located in any place, depending only from a long path. The workshop is based to learn grasshopper as a new design method but also as a tool to create plastic models in laser Plotters and 3D Plotter.
TORCHIS Place: Bogota, Colombia Type: Costruction Year: Workshop “Autocostruzione in Terra� 2013 As part of a reserch developed by Prof. Simonetta Pagliolico, the workshop intended to explore methods of traditional building tecnologies for the development of sustainable residences in Romanie. In our specific case we used the torchis, an ancient buildig tradition exploring ways of allowding light to penetrate through the heavy earth walls. We used glass bottles filled with water and explored the geometry of pallets to make a window with the minimum material.
