Hello! My name is Faber Emilio. I am currently a graduate architect from the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia. Architecture is one of my passions, I enjoy when I sit in front of the computer or a project table, draw lines, and imagine spaces that I have always dreamed of. Also, I find incredible the ability of this discipline to create spaces, experiences, and atmospheres that can be beautiful and enriching for those who inhabit it. In this portfolio, you can find a selection of the most representative works of my academic and professional work. Mainly I like to explore new forms of representation and visualization of architectural projects; my goal is that each one of the images in a project tells a story and thus transmits an idea, a message, or arouses a feeling in any spectator of the work. I hope that this compendium demonstrates my passion for architecture, my attention to detail and, above all, my interest in continuing to learn and explore the frontiers of knowledge.

R&V: Resistance and urban Visibility in Alto Fucha Information Location: Alto Fucha, Bogota, Colombia Building Type: Residential - Public Space - Educational Area per floor: 765m² Total Area: 15.000m² Software used: Adobe Photoshop - Adobe Indesign - Adobe Illustrator - AutoCad - KeyShot - SketchUp - ArcGis - Rhinonceros Year: 2019
About the project Bogota, a fragmented city, a city crossed by different types of violence associated with political conflicts, classism, racism, discrimination, and xenophobia. This set of violence does not allow social mixing and the development of a solid urban fabric. The most marginalized sectors of the territory, who are victims of this violence, are not recognized as equally significant actors and are pushed towards the peripheries of the city, as is the upper part of the Fucha River above the town of San Cristóbal.
*** This project was selected by the Universidad de los Andes as a participant to compete in the IV Colombian Student´s Biennial of Architecture 2020
Understanding the conditions of the place, this project entitled R&V, Resistance, and Urban Visibility in Alto Fucha is born from the reflection on three realities in the territory. The first, an increasingly accentuated and alarming urban and demographic growth in terms of the demand for resources and housing units within the city. The second, a high index of inequality and poverty that has as one of its results the appearance of informal settlements on the outskirts of the city where access to employment, public transport, basic services, sewerage networks, and equipment is more difficult. And finally, a global environmental crisis, driven by a neoliberal extractivist economic system where the amount of natural resources is less and less, is more at risk and needs more than ever the attention and preservation of all humanity.

From this analysis, the approach that is made is based on a concept or action: resist these current dynamics through the visibility of the urban element that is notorious for its scale within the Bogota landscape. Thus, the proposed project is a large tower in
26
the upper part of the Fucha River, which is located on the Aguas Claras gorge. This tower is in principle a machine in charge of housing a small popular neighborhood inside, with public, residential, and workspaces. Thus consolidating a vertical community, which is also to-
tally self-sufficient and provides the tools and mechanisms necessary to supply the basic needs of the population, such as electricity, food, and drinking water. In summary, the project R&V, Resistance and Urban Visibility in Alto Fucha is a machine. An ur-
ban piece that gathers the characteristic experiences of the place and integrates them with the geographic, natural, and environmental wealth of the eastern hills.

Academic Works
Architecture and construction are activities that contribute significantly to the social and economic development of today’s world, but at the same time, traditional building processes are part of the most polluting industries with the greatest impact on the environment. Faced with this condition, the British architect, winner of the Pritzker prize in 2007 and world-renowned for the machinist aesthetics of his buildings, Richard Rogers, presents in his book Cities for a small planet (2000), the reality of an extractivist society in which pollution and exploitation of natural resources have been taken to unsustainable extremes.
However, its message is one of hope, and it raises a model of an equitable and above all compact city, which can be a sensible and coherent response for the contemporary world. Almost two decades after Rogers’ proposals, it seems that humanity remains stagnant, trying to respond insufficiently and mediocre to a reality that overwhelms us and that is becoming more worrying every day. The project that I propose, has as one of its main premises to respond clearly and efficiently to this problem. It works as a kind of self-sufficient and sustainable machine, not only in the environment but also
in economic and social terms. Due to this condition, it is essential to understand how the relationship of public, private, and communal spaces with environmental factors such as wind, sunlight, rain, fog and vegetation works from an environmental and technical point of view. The above, not only to take advantage of and supply basic services such as electrical energy and drinking water but also to generate atmospheres and spatial experiences for the inhabitants of the tower, in which they recognize the value of these resources and the importance of taking care of them.

R&V Project Binnacle Information Software used: Adobe Photoshop Adobe Indesign - Adobe Illustrator Year: 2019
About the project The objective of the realization of this additional graphic document to the degree project is to analyze, understand and contrast the different references that are studied during the realization of the project R&V, Resistance and Urban Visibility in Alto Fucha. In addition to the information concerning the references for both intervention and implementation, program, and pro-
ject, other exercises are carried out focused on understanding the place and identifying elements of popular architecture. Finally, the document ends with the construction of a graphic narrative as a storyboard, where the intention is to understand the operation of the project in its interior atmospheres and how the building is related to the construction of an urban landscape.

Fractals - Hypothetical space Information Location: Hypothetical space Building Type: Flexible Total Area: 5.625m² Software used: Rhinoceros - KeyShot Adobe Photoshop - Adobe Illustrator Year: 2018 Co-design with Gabriel Forero and Oscar Gonzålez
About the project This theoretical project is based on the concept of fractals and the different geometries, movements, and paths that emerge from it. In this way, the building is made up of a series of modules or pieces that are repeated horizontally and vertica-
42
lly and that can rotate in one of its axes. This allows them to produce different spatial and formal conformations as long as some type of force that algorithmically or parametrically generates movement is applied to the modules.
The type of representation chosen for this project is located on a dreamlike and unknown plane. In a place where not everything is said and the interpretation of the image is left open to the viewer, an idea that is reinforced by the color chosen for the renders.

Fractals is a flexible project, a project that mutates, that is transformed with each movement, it is a project subject to infinite possibilities of composition from the most ordered to the most chaotic. In the end, any of the possibilities can be understood as an algorithm, a series of steps that create spatial results.

Metamorphosis Information Location: San Victorino, Bogota, Colombia Building Type: Flexible - Educational - Cultural - Public Space - Commercial Total Area: 18.000m² Software used: Rhinoceros - KeyShot - Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Year: 2018 Co-design with Gabriel Forero and Oscar González
About the project
The Metamorphosis project was born from research on the artist M.C. Escher and the development of his thought from the mathematical concept of fractals. The fundamental premise of this building is to achieve the greatest flexibility and adaptability of spaces in an urban context as dynamic and
46
commercial as the center of Bogotá in the San Victorino sector. Through the different image sequences carried out for this project, it is demonstrated how physical transformations are carried out in each atmosphere and how it is possible to change the use or activity of space based on these mutations.

A partir de la idea anterior la cual se basaba en módulos que se mueven radialmente por medios de pivotes y generan distintos espacios que configuran infini- dad de posiciones, se usó la idea de movimiento y organización a través de una grilla donde se organizan los módulos de una forma reticular en donde por medio de elementos móviles se conectan en diferentes momentos con espacios que al no moverse integran y cohesionan los diferentes recorridos.
The proposed structural system is made up of small sections of wood that when joined together make up the most robust beams and columns. Due to the scale of the project, a simple and efficient method is sought in the constructive system of the structure: Sockets, bolts, and nuts. In the case of the plates that fragment and move to form stairs, stands, double-height spaces, or platforms, it proposes a rib formed from wooden lists that are joined by internal plates and bolts. Furthermore, this structure is protected by 3,60 m a stainless steel metal sheet that stiffens the structure and in turn, works as a connection element with the hydraulic piston system that allows the vertical movement of the plates.

Color market square La Concordia Information Location: Bogota, Colombia Building Type: Commercial Total Area: 2.845m² Software used: Adobe Photoshop - Adobe Illustrator - KeyShot - Rhinonceros Year: 2018 Co-design with Juliana Rodríguez
About the project
The Concordia market square is one of the most historical in the city of Bogotá and is one of those places where Colombian families traditionally go to buy food for their home and where many entrepreneurs even go to supply their businesses. The objective of this project is to propose a metal roof for this market square to provide it with a special interior atmosphere so that it thus becomes one of the most iconic and desirable places in the memory of citizens. Thus, inspired by the Crown Hall of Mies van der Rohe, there is a large metal structure made up of two mega-porches and a series of joists that connect them, from which the triangular modules of adaptable colors hang down according to the need have in the interior space. These triangular modules can open to allow light to pass through or to close, thereby protecting the room from rain. To arrive at the final design, a series of experimental steel models were carried out that showed the viability of the project and how the interior spaces of the building were affected by the intervention on its roof.
56
Academic Works
57
In order to carry out the experimental model, the object to create was first decided: this is a set of modules made up of six equal triangles, which are repeated in sequence. The reason for this was the observation of light through the object. Finally, two processes were mainly used to achieve this result: cutting and welding. Both are actions on galvanized steel, to create a dynamic and light looking figure.

Competition Fundo Moray Center - TAB Internship Information Location: Moray, Cusco, Peru Building Type: Hotel Total Area: 5.300m² Software used: Adobe Photoshop - Adobe Indesign - Adobe Illustrator - AutoCad - KeyShot - SketchUp Year: 2019 Co-design with Daniel Bonilla (the design of this project belongs to tab>| Daniel Bonilla Arquitectos)
About the project
The Fundo Moray Center is a proposal of landscape and poetic relationship between the plain and the imposing mountains that make up the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It arises from the understanding between contemporary architecture and the recognition of Inca archeology, tradition, culture, and society, emphasizing traditional topographic management, valuing local materials and construction methods, as well as its agricultural tradition.
ning walls are developed, based on the Inca legacy of agricultural fields that is still alive today. The implantation in the land is based on the topographical proposal, bordered by a ring that blends with the topography of the cultivation terraces. In this way, the central space, the most powerful in the project, limits the horizon by focusing and sublimating the vision towards the surrounding mountains. In this concentric landscape, a lateral leak is left towards The project starts from a to- the ravine gorge, to accenpographical work, in which a tuate a specific condition of series of terraces and retai- the place.

Tradition + Culture The architectural program seeks to assume not only the fundamental functions and services of accommodation and its accessories in a ring-shaped building that takes advantage of the magnificent and diverse geographical views. Open spaces are also valued to promote traditional tasks of local cultures, focused on agriculture, the art of weaving, and other trades; being the interior terraces, that space of cultural and landscape interrelation par excellence.

About the project
The project is born from the reflection on global challenges in the urban scene, focusing mainly on the premise of living better and in a more sustainable way. To develop this central idea, the project is located in the Prosperidad neighborhood within the Chamarron district north of the city of Madrid and is one of the places that has
72
been seen over the years swallowed up by the growth of the city. The proposal for this site is a Leisure and Culture Center, which houses various activities such as a women’s center, a youth center, an exhibition hall, a public library, a meeting
center, and a cafeteria. It is a flexible, adaptable, inclusive, and diverse space at the service of the neighborhood community. The building was designed for her undergraduate work by the architect Estefanía Bercent, the images here were made by Faber Emilio.

About the project
It is the first free and selfsustainable school in Colombia. It works without subsidies or donations and without parents having to pay for the education of their children. It operates in Nemocón, a mainly agricultural municipality, which is why it provides its service to the poorest families in this region and other surrounding areas, especially crop
86
and brick workers, without the economic opportunity to send their children to private schools at a high price. The visualizations made for this project are mock-up type, intending to supply the need to build a real physical model. In this way, it is possible to manipulate, modify, and make changes in real-time on the project.

87
Sustaining is achieved through the sale of roses that the Alberto Merani Social Foundation makes from its cultivation. The utilities pay for all its infrastructure, payroll, transportation, and food services. In this way, parents do not pay anything for the education of their children, nor the mayor’s office, nor the government and, consequently, neither the taxpayers.

About the project
The thermal baths designed by world-renowned architect Peter Zumthor is perhaps one of the most iconic buildings in the history of contemporary architecture. Built between 1993 and 1996, the building is projected as an extension of the hotel that has existed since 1970. The Swiss architect, the winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2009, fascinated by the natural qualities of the mountain on which it is located, was commissioned to design a building that resembles a large monolith in local stone that is drilled and that somehow becomes a maze to discover. This complex is located on a valley above the only hot springs in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, Graubünden Canton, between mountains with rock formations and alpine meadows. The construction of the emblematic stone walls that cover the project was achieved by superimposing Valser Quarzite quarry slabs on top of each other, thus achieving a hatching and great homogeneity on the surfaces of the hot springs. In addition to this natural condition expressed through the natural expression of the project, one of the central elements of the work was the play between light, shadow, and gloom. Thus, through the transitions between closed, open, semiopen, and semi-closed spaces, the architect manages to create a diversity of atmospheres that continually surprise those who inhabit the building.

Zumthor’s intention is for the building to be inhabited with the feeling of being a kind of cave or natural quarry, before being a hotel or a spa. Through the construction of the landscaped
114
roof that fits perfectly with the topography of the valley, the appearance of a cave buried in the middle of the mountain is created. Due to the qualities
described above, this project was selected to be digitally reconstructed in the BIM diploma with emphasis on Revit carried out at the Naska Digital Academy. The images presented here
were mostly made with the Escape rendering software and try to recreate as faithfully as possible the experience you have within the spaces created by the Swiss architect.

Sound Garden - Competition Ensamble Building Information Location: Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia Building Type: Educational - University Total Area: 4.640m² Software used: Adobe Photoshop - Adobe Indesign - Adobe Illustrator - AutoCad - SketchUp - Rhinonceros Year: 2019 Co-design with Juliana Rodríguez, Blanco Arquitectura, Daniel Blanco and Hania Podladowska.
About the project
This project is the result of the participation in the national competition for the design of the new music faculty building at the Universidad de Los Andes. Below is the description of the building: When walking through the building, the sound is always present, flowing accompanied by air and water, amid a series of small recorders and connections, which preserves the labyrinthine characteristics of the heritage spaces between which the project is implanted. El Campito de San José and the wagon square
120
have historically preserved strong relationships with natural and cultural landscapes. Hence, the Sound Garden creates a place that enhances the values of that meeting, understanding them as tools in the construction of a playful learning environment. The project is a threshold between the mountain and the city, which is configured as an urban door to the campus. In this way, the Sound Garden understands the infrastructural vocation of the University and the articulation with the domestic scale of its environment. Through small

niches, interstices, and transitions, the project is permeated by the dynamics present inside and outside. The privacy of the enclosure is placed on the same value as the spaciousness of the park or the street. It is from there
124

125
that the programmatic distribution of the set does not respond to the pragmatic, but the scope of a greater aesthetic experience. The project understands music as a sensitive material of architecture, which allows educational spaces to be part of the relationship with the elements of the world. For this reason, a place is modeled from this material, where the geometries allow the sound to travel, thanks to its transmission, absorption, and reverberation. A falling drop, the sound of a flute, the song of a bird, even the screech of a swing, show how the Sound Garden forms a system of relationships that escape the idea of​​ the perimeter and that carry an expanded interaction of the place.

ArcMore Month Challenges Information Software used: Adobe Illustrator Year: 2016 - 2017
About the project
These illustrations and architectural drawings are part of a series of challenges carried out by the ArcMore website. The idea of these small challenges was to make a monthly drawing of an iconic building of contemporary architecture to increasingly nurture general knowledge about the discipline and explore new frontiers in the field of architectural representation. All the illustrations made on each of the buildings start from complex compositions that mix various drawings and different perspectives in a single final image that functions as a unit.

The images created will seek to show each building surrounded by its context and a special role is given to the vegetation and green areas. In addition to this, the color palette is usually very soft so that it highlights above all the brick materiality of these buildings. Some of the buildings represented here are in the Bucaramanga Science and Technology Convention Center, Los Nogales College school campus and the Rochester College Master Plan.
