University College London 2023 Bartlett School Of Architecture. London, Uk.
At the beginning of my master’s program, I participated in an introductory workshop where we explored various computational tools such as Visual Studio, SubD Rhino, and Unity. The main purpose was to research the automation of cells through rules and constraints. This was achieved
through coding in scripts, which was then translated into the exploration of compiled geometric forms. This approach allowed us to delve into the potential of programming to generate innovative designs and explore new frontiers in the field of architecture and design.
Mexican Social Internship 2019. Mexico City.
During internship at Lugares Publicos, a dynamic firm/foundation dedicated to urbanism and social development through placemaking, I played a leading role in the “Polanquito’s Placemaking Transformation” project. This groundbreaking initiative sought to empower pedestrians by revitalizing public spaces, fostering community engagement, and promoting sustainable urban development. Through meticulous planning and strategic interventions, we reimagined Polanquito’s public realm, culminating in a comprehensive long-term proposal that integrated innovative urban strategies for lasting impact.
In addition to my contributions to the Polanquito project, I actively participated in various social activities organized by the firm, further strengthening our ties with the community and promoting a culture of inclusivity and collaboration.
Furthermore, I lent my expertise to the diagram representation for Coca Cola’s park restoration program, leveraging my skills to visually communicate design concepts and contribute to the enhancement of public recreational spaces.
My time at Lugares Publicos was not only professionally enriching but also deeply rewarding as I had the opportunity to be part of transformative projects that positively impacted communities and promoted sustainable urban development principles.
Iberoamericana University 2020. Condesa, Mexico City.
In my culminating year at college, I embarked on a profound endeavor: the design of a building nestled within the heart of Condesa, Mexico City. This architectural venture wasn’t just about brick and mortar; it represented a beacon of hope and renewal for those grappling with the aftermath of the tragic September 19th, 2017 earthquake.
Envisioned as a sanctuary for those displaced by the seismic upheaval, this building stood not just as a physical structure but as a symbol of resilience and community spirit. Comprising 17 thoughtfully designed apartments passiv
design thinking, along with a versatile loft space and carefully curated communal areas, the project sought to provide not just shelter, but a sense of belonging and security to those in need.
Situated amidst the vibrant tapestry of Condesa, a neighborhood known for its cultural richness and vibrant energy, the building aimed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings while offering a sanctuary for its residents. Each architectural element was meticulously crafted, not just to meet practical needs, but to evoke a sense of comfort and tranquility amidst the chaos and upheaval wrought by the earthquake.
Iberoamericana University & Javeriana University 2019. Mexico & Colombia.
As part of an academic subject and an exchange program, I was tasked with leading a diverse team comprising both Mexican and Colombian students to undertake an architectural project in Santa Fe’s Old Town, centered around the concept of “Placemaking.”
Our collaborative effort aimed to transform the historic district of Santa Fe by revitalizing public spaces and fostering community engagement. Drawing inspiration from local
culture and traditions, we conceptualized innovative design solutions that would enhance the area’s vibrancy and sense of belonging.
Throughout the project, cultural exchange played a crucial role, enriching our perspectives and fueling creativity. By embracing diversity and harnessing collective talents, we endeavored to create a lasting impact on Santa Fe’s urban fabric, epitomizing the transformative power of collaborative placemaking initiatives.
Iberoamericana University 2018. Mexico City.
For my Project 7, I initiated an investigation into the formation of cities, with a specific focus on garden cities and Ebenezer Howard’s theories. Delving deeper, I examined how these principles were applied within the neighborhoods of Mexican cities.
As part of the course requirements, I integrated an additional investigation into my project. I chose to explore “The 5 Concepts of Le Corbusier,” employing them to create a 3D diagram for modern garden cities. Emphasizing verticality, I developed a set of rules to enhance the new diagram’s functionality and coherence.
En forma de hacer ciudad encontramos una solucion de densificar areas verdes con los 5 puntos de lecorbusier. Creando un espacio de 50 % area libre
Los puntos se dividen en:
Pilotis (morados)
Elementos que sirven para crear un espacio despejado destinado a circulaciones, crea permeabilidad y suprime los lugares obscuros.
Fachas libre y ventanas horizontales.
- FLVH 1.- Solidos (rojos)
Espacios de bloqueo, circulacion forzada, relacionados con areas libres para evitar zonas densificadas al extremo. Conectividad con pilotis de manera directa o indirecta para desarrollo de flujos.
- FLVH 2.- Torres (naranjas)
Espacios verticales, con densidad vertical se relacion con terrazas jardin debido proporcion de ciudad y con los pilotes de manera indirecta para fomentar la permeabilidad de las zonas.
Terraza jardin (Amarillos)
Conectadas con otras terrazas de manera indirecta debido a su obligacion de conjunto.
Las terrazas jardin y las torres densifican las areas verdes un 50 %
Vacio Es libre de conectarse con cualquier concepto a excepcion de los solidos (el cual es obligatorio) debido a su sentido de emplazamiento.
Mercantil/ EdificiosPúblicos
Through this inquiry, I discovered compelling evidence indicating that Condesa, a neighborhood in Mexico City, was initially established using a garden city-based diagram.
This approach not only validated the sustainability and livability of Condesa but also underscored the enduring relevance of garden city principles in contemporary urban planning.
Reinvensiondelaciudaddebidoa la revolucion industrial
LA CIUDAD JARDIN COMO MANUAL
En el siglo XIX el creciemiento de la ciudades se vuelve desmedido y pierde el control A causa de el crecimiento economico y de las nuevas tecnicas de la revolución industrial, Londres como una de las primeras ciudades industriales se vio gravemente afectada por el crecimiento desordenado, la falta de servicios y las enfermedades ocasionadas a falta de higiene. Como propuesta a anarquismo creado, surgen los primeros movimientos urbanisticos Entre ellos la Ciudad Jardín de Ebenezer Howard.
En uno de sus viajes a Estados Unidos, conocio a Edward Bellamy, autor del libro “Looking Backwards” que describe a Estados Unidos bajo a idea socialista que se caracterizaba por la fraternidad, la cooperación y una industria conectada a las necesidades del ser humano. Howard lo retoma para su propuesta urbanistica social, pensando en el horizonte continuo, naturaleza y el espacio ilimitado, destacando entre todas las demas por ser un sistema vivo intimamente conectado con el ser humano.
la ciudad jardin es una ciudad radial, conformada por varias circunferencias, zonificando sus diefeesntes conceptos. En el centro se encuentra e jardin central, rodeado por la zona de edificios publicos. despues, se conectaria con otra zona verde llamada el central park, a cual estaria vinculada con la zona mercantil. Por ultimo estaria la zona residencial, despues a zona industrial y rodeando a ciudad, a zona agropecuaria.

Iberoamericana University 2018. Mexico & Colombia.
As part of the final assessment for the course, I participated in a research project exchange wherein students collaborated to enhance and refine each other’s work for improved clarity and comprehension.
For my contribution, I selected the project titled “Escaleras-Caminar,” which delved into the dynamics of how individuals engage with urban spaces and staircases. Through thoughtful analysis and creative reinterpretation, I endeavored to elevate
the project’s impact and accessibility.
The culmination of my efforts resulted in the creation of four distinct types of stair diagrams. These diagrams were meticulously crafted to distill complex concepts into visually intuitive representations, facilitating a deeper understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
