PROFICIENCY

October 2014 Bach. Architecture Polytechnic University of PR. San Juan, PR.

This portfolio is a gathering of works that were elaborated through my architectural studies. The projects presented here, incisive and heterogeneous, are the action of evolutionary maturity. They are compositions emanating from the process of exploration, creativity, investigation, analysis and experimentation that resulted in clear and concise ideas. Having a purpose of functionality expressed in architectural terms, this work serves as a collage of my architectural education and development. For me the architectural field is a vast one, it touches on many aspects of our daily lives and interacts with them at various levels. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a statement that samples the multidisciplinary element of architecture, one that considers its context holistically. Including but not limited to social, economical, historical, political and theoretical discourse. ` My architectural education process and projects led me to work in a discipline where artistry is utilized to find solutions to a tasked problem. I used design along with thinking and working procedures both in conventional and unconventional ways, to find innovative results. That has become the backbone to my professional development within architecture, and establishes interest in further exploration in the field of design. For this portfolio is a starting point of futher exploration and new possibilities that arise.

UNDERSTANDING PUBLIC HOUSING IN PR

INFLUENCE OF FOREIGN MODELS IDEA architects and policy makers that influenced the process of establishing the public housing model in Puerto Rico.

Fotos el mundo 40-68 (Biblioteca Digital Puertorriqueña)

Public housing in Puerto Rico from an architectural point of view is a very debated subject due to its historical legacy, ambiguous without a doubt, it’s neither been defined as a total success nor a total failure. One of the most notable of such legacy is the public housing models, so much for its physical presence, scale and wide utilization as it is for the problems of social and economical nature associated to them that have emerged with the passage of time. However, the problem of housing a large number of people with limited resources who do not have the means to acquire a home of their own is a palpable reality in the country. A situation exasperated by the financial crisis and economic recession that affects the families of the island strongly. It is a reality that urges and leads the need to create spaces for these families, but understanding that the new reality is far from that when the public housing is initially created. The narrative is as important as the need to produce answers, in search of a model of mixed collective housing that breaks with the stigmas of the past, that is an element that promotes an awareness of living; understanding that the resources are not unlimited, that it uses diversity within its rethink of living in community and is built with a view towards the future. 1

CONCEPT Was viewed as an escalator process, where the family would move up and eventually move out of the temporary housing.

PROPOSAL Provide adequate housing for the poor based on a temporary and self improving theory. Which should lead the family to economic well being.

ADAPTABILITY TO THE CONTEXT Social adaptation becomes increasingly significant when social change affects important aspects of life over comparatively short periods of time. Such changes include migration, changes in age, rapid industrial development, and major shifts of the population from the country to the city. Problemy sotsializatsii individa. Leningrad, 1971

Social adaptation occurs in the process of socialization and also with the aid of mechanisms of social control, which include social pressure and state regulation.

¿? ¿? Corporation Housing at Pollok 1950

MIXED COLLECTIVE HOUSING

UNFOLDING The temporary aspect never came to fruition and the majority of the families never left. Establishing themselves as a permanent housing solution. ALTERNATIVE By providing a solution to a housing segment thru design where the old homogeneous concept is discarded and sustainable mixed housing is incorporated.

PROPOSAL FOR THE DESIGN OF THE MIXED HOUSING COMPLEX

1 Housing program for families that have a moderate income. Influenced by condominums, low cost housing, housing cooperatives, etc.

2 Public housing program for low income families. (Temporary measure)

3 Private housing program for middle income families. 2

CLIENTS So that there can be a sucessfull design with a view to solving the problem presented, the market and the particular clientele to be served must be considered. My proposal serves the limited and moderate income groups that are currently poorly served, creating the opportunity to provide an alternative to the traditional model of housing that serves a particular group and market, so that these groups can buy/rent affordable housing. The contemporary family composition within these markets is diverse and is composed of a mixed family nucleus. This is also the income spectrum of these groups, but a majority can not access the private housing sector due to lack of resources.

Urban Pleasure As an urgent category is a project embarked during the second trimester of my fourth year. Where investigation, analysis and a final design proposal of urban scale proportions was done. The first stage, was a team effort in which the group decided which area in the island of Puerto Rico they pursued to intervene. It was then presented to a jury, discussing and explaining the pertinence of the selection using context, investigation, analysis, main hypothesis and the eventual design concept. The result was a strategy of urban intervention, where every group member developed a fragment of the selected area. The urban context selected and studied was the Loíza Street in Santurce and its surroundings. It is part of the urban metropolitan fabric that shows a great variety of commercial uses and potential for growth. The project concept, and the strategies used revolved around the idea of pleasure and leisure in the city.

PLEASURES MATERIAL PHYSICAL MYSTIC SENSUAL INTELLECTUAL ILLUSION

PROPOSAL PLEASURE ZONES

There is a current concern to improve and address the aesthetics of the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Being a city with an economy mostly dependent on tourism, pleasure can become one of its main offers.

ZONE (A) - MATERIAL ZONE (B) - SENSUAL ZONE (C) - INTELLECTUAL ZONE (D) - ILLUSION ZONE (E) - PHYSICAL

Identifying 5 categories of pleasures to promote and project San Juan as the great contemporary urban destination of the Caribbean.

calle pablo

Sensual: all pleasure that can be perceived through the 5 senses.

SUGGESTED PROGRAMS: (1) Linear Walkway along the coast connecting the Barbosa Park and the Taft Street. (2) Small Restaurants in unused sites facing the new Linear Walkway.

Intellectual: pleasure generated by understanding the rational realities. Illusion: all pleasure able to stimulate our imagination. Mystic: pleasure obtained from obedience to a superior being or dogma.

OBJECTIVE Rehabilitation of old Cinema Savoy. SUGGESTED PROGRAMS: (1) Five small theater rooms (2) Outdoor Cinema (3) Outdoor terraces (4) Cafe

OBJECTIVE Re-design of Barbosa Park to establish a more direct relationship with the beach coast.

TAFT STREET

OBJECTIVE Its purpose is to provide sensual and physical pleasures by emphasizing the Loíza Street relationship to the beach coast.

SUGGESTED PROGRAMS: (1) Outdoor showers for beach goers (2) Designated areas for street vendors (3) Outdoor theater (4) Relocation of actual programs so it doesn’t interfere with the main coast views. (5) Create new connections with the Barbosa Park.

NEW CONNECTIONS

In urbanism and architecture, pleasure is generated not only in the activity itself but in the way and manner in which it is presented, ordered, limited or facilitated. The understanding of pleasure as a manager of spaces and sensations multiplies our palette of possibilities in design. Recognize the potential of Loíza Street as a body that can accommodate and lead to pleasure. The selection of sites to be intervened seeks to establish zones of diverse pleasures that nurture each other. To achieve an interconnectivity of pleasures we seek: their understanding as a multiple and diverse experience; the delineation of support zones; the use of the moving image as a method of seduction and demonstrate the possibility of experiencing pleasures and the integration of a visual / graphic system that serves as the basis for the development of the different minor components (street furniture, signage, lighting, sidewalks, etc). 22

Sub-urban Condenser eVolo skyscraper competition This project was done as part of a competition for the eVolo skyscraper during the second trimester of my third year. The competition looked for design ideas that utilized the skyscraper to solve problems of different natures. It was a four member team that came up with the concept and design approach and then each one would develop a particular area. The team focused on the subject of the sprawling city and its effects on the way people do various activities. So we started by asking two questions that would be tied to the skyscraper concept and design. -How to bring the big box shopping experience and entertainment as one of the most useful and needed programs of suburbia to the urban center? -How to reduce the use of the vehicle as a way to promote an effective urban infrastructural system with the efforts to bring people back to the inner city? With the objective of bringing people back to the inner cities and reducing the need of the car. Puerto Rico, having San Juan as its metropolis, is experiencing a constant population growth. This creates a demand to expand and to attend the needs that arise. As a result of this continuous rise in population that inhabits the urban area, there has also been a rise in demand and need for recreational spaces, amenities, and specialty stores. Since the city is already densified to a certain point, the availability, along with the ease of access to such spaces, is limited. This leaves no room to incorporate successful big box programs due to the footprint they require.

These programs, located outside of the urban area push people to travel out of the city, to shop and recreate, and drive around to various places to get everything they are looking for making people rely constantly on vehicle usage as the main transportation medium. Within the urban areas recreational and public spaces, along with its amenities are all dispersed, obliging people to move around to these points of destination by vehicle. This brings negative side effects: energy waste, increased air pollution from vehicles, health hazards, and negates experiencing the city.

The skyscraper reverses the horizontal trend and gives people a place where they can shop and recreate at the same time creating a center hub of stores that attend the contemporary lifestyle needs of the population in a sustainable way and also promoting other means of transportation and alternatives of perceiving and experiencing the city. Addressing social mobility within the city is a key element in promoting sustainability. The skyscraper turns into a framework in the urban tissue, seeking to increase the efficiency of the city, reducing private vehicle dependency, encouraging mass transit usage, as well as walking and cycling in the city. Condado and Santurce, two of the most important urban areas in San Juan, currently divided and disconnected by a highway, will be linked by the skyscraper thru a pedestrian bridge and walkway. The Condado area is a residential/ tourist zone, experiencing a lot of people movement and Santurce is an area composed, in its majority, of a residential, commercial and the cultural district. The proposal links the suburban amenities within the urban context. The skyscraper will include a concert hall for the philharmonic, prime outlet stores, superstores, multilevel plazas, cinemas, clubs, restaurants and observatory on the top floor. They will no longer be inaccessible to pedestrians, nor distributed throughout the city. A climate controlled pedestrian and cyclist bridge will serve as a boardwalk, with kiosks and boutiques, connecting and making accessible the tower to the nearby communities.

Méndez Bagur Museum

Conservation of Cuevilla House San Juan

During the first trimester of my third year I embarked on a design conservation project for the Méndez Bagur Museum. The location is at 607 Cuevillas Street in the Miramar sector of San Juan, an area that has a long historical tradition and various architectural styles embedded.

Condado

Hato Rey

Given by testament the desire of Mr. Eduardo Méndez that the property located in 607 Cuevillas Street will be preserved as a museum. With the intention of preserving a historical legacy for the community and being an architectural landmark of its time. Within the conservation program that includes the project before hand, it is proposed that the intervention within the property will be seen in two phases, the first phase includes the integrated rehabilitation of the original house. The second phase includes the annex added after the original work, and the approach will be given through an adaptive re-use.

Difference between preservation and adaptive re-use, is not simply to appropriate the original design. Although it tries to retain the existing benefits, this action does not require a literal preservation. Adaptive re-use takes as its starting point the intention of the original structural design and brings them to the present so that this action can impact or influence the overall design of the building.

By means of the intervention parameters already defined, we proceed to establish some forms of approach in terms of trafficking and aspect of physical and structural work of the work. In this part we are following the restoration proposal established by Camilo Boito and Gustavo Giovannoni, in which they argued that «it was necessary to differentiate visually, the added parts of the original parts in a restoration.» Boito fixes his criterion in eight basic points, tending all of them to the manifestation of a principle of honesty and respect for the authentic, when intervention in a monument is unavoidable: • Style difference between the new and the old. • Difference of the materials used in the work. • Suppression of ornamental elements in the restored part. • Exhibition of the remains or pieces that have been dispensed with. • Incision in each of the pieces that are placed, of a sign that indicates that it is a new piece. • Placement of a descriptive epigraph in the building. • Neighboring exhibition to the building, of photographs, plans and documents on the process of the work and publication on the restoration works. • Notoriety. Contemporary aspect of the work and intention of conversion to a museum. «If we look carefully at the place and its history, it is perceived that the generational diversity of the area lends itself to the creation of a multi-space capable of functioning for a large group of people of different ages and for the development of a new dynamic of interaction between this people.» 42

Retail Design Store Design for a Client Was done for the first trimester of my second year, with the goal of exposing the students to design problems with specific programmatic needs and to further explore the utilizations of different mediums to present a design concept. An urban context was chosen as the site for the design exercise, this applied with specific design criteria and building construction regulations are the guidelines for establishing the design. The retail store design was chosen with the aim of promoting the urban context and be an incentive to pedestrians to create an experience. The design of the store looks to produce spatial occurrences both in the outside and the inside. The spaces are arranged in a way that the circulation from one area to the other regulates various privacy settings but produces in the person a sense of revelation once they step in.
