Changing environmental, and social, conditions demand an adaptation of the infrastructure. This mixed-use building in Miami Beach is a response to rising sea levels in the region, as well as to the lack of affordable housing. With ‘Stiltsville’ as a model for the ‘new’ architectural typology of Miami Beach, this structure emphasizes on the elevation of spaces above the ground, using linear elements, like columns and piles, to allow for free flow of air, and water. With pre-assembled modular ‘capsules’ as apartment units, this building minimizes construction expenses, and is flexible for future modifications.

UE HOUSE A house for a Japanese, Ukiyo-e craftsman in Tokyo, Japan. Neighboring the NA House, designed by Sou Fujimoto, the UE House celebrates the gridlike appearance of its neighbor by owning the opposite form. However, the body movements and overall circulation throughout are very similar to those of the house next-door. Fluidity is achieved through spatial overlap, and ambiguity of the formal functions of architectural elements like a floor, a wall. IN COLLABORATION W/ GABRIELA QUINTERO

INFILL / SAVANNAH, GA Housing prototype to be repeated in sequence in a Savannah ward, providing a new pattern through the hybridization of the apartment building and the green square in the typical Savannah Block. Maximizing the greenery in the Savannah block, without sacrificing usable building space. The programmatic use (artist studios and art galleries) gives artists a more solid presence throughout the city. This prototype would serve as a new building type inherent of Savannah.

THICK WALL / PRADA, AOYAMA Focusing on the display of merchandise, the Prada Store by Herzog & De Meuron in Tokyo focuses on the framing and enhancement of views, attracting the individual, both toward and from within the building. The structure acts as a dynamic lense through which a variety of views are obtained. To further develop spaces and make the drawing effect of the concave windows more experiential, I decided to extrude the grid and slighly manipulate it, emphasizing dynamism and priducing different shadow effects. by raising it on ‘stilts’, the structure appears to be very lightweight, which contributes to the appearance of movement and flow.

A joint research facility, hosting Florida International University (FIU), Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS), and the Everglades National Park (ENP). The facility itself becomes an extension of the highway that links the Florida Keys with the rest of the State. The ‘Corridor’ is the main piece of this project. Through it, one can experiece the entire site, without feeling disconnected or scattered. The buildings literally become extentions of this corridor, enhancing the processional experience. The corridor connects and enhances the three main points the site: Entrance, National Park, and the Waterfront, and complies with the programmatic requests of the client, while implementing new program that would draw attention from the public.

The Isenheim Altarpiece, by Matthias Grunewal.
DEFIANT SPACE RESEARCH It is very easy to get accostumed to the theologies of the faith, and overlook their relevance and meaning in the daily. The Crucifixion of Christ, as crucial, critical, and defining , is no exception to habituality. Through explorations on the physical repercussions of the crucifixion, I intend to get a closer look at the wounds and body traumas, and create an interpretative, interactive FORM through wich one can re-see, re-feel, Christ Crucified.

PROPOSAL An abstracted exploration of the effects of the crucifixion on the human body, with the intention of causing a stimulus on the individual involved; a call to close attention to Jesus Christ crucified. The intricate spaces and movements of the human body around and through it, set the stage for a slower, more intimate approach to Jesus’s body during the torturous event of His Passion. “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” John 20: 27.

URBAN DEPLOYMENT LAWN
A built pathway for prayer of the Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross) to be placed in Catholic Church yards during the season of Lent. Abstracting body conditions during the process of crucifixion, this pavilion gives prayer a physical from. It allows for a more active engagement during the prayer, as the individual is presented with shape of uncomfortabiliy and pain, not only through observation and meditation, but through active movements that conform an experience.

Site program.
The Stations of the Cross are a 14-step Catholic devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ’s last day on Earth as a man. The 14 devotions, or stations, focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation. The stations are commonly used as a mini pilgrimage as the individual moves from station to station. At each station, the individual recalls and meditates on a specific event from Christ’s last day. Specific prayers are recited, then the individual moves to the next station until all 14 are complete. The Stations of the Cross are commonly found in churches as a series of 14 small icons or images. They can also appear in church yards arranged along paths. The stations are most commonly prayed during Lent on Wednesdays and Fridays, and especially on Good Friday, the day of the year upon which the events actually occurred. 1st Station: 2nd Station: 3rd Station: 4th Station: 5th Station: 6th Station: 7th Station: 8th Station: 9th Station : 10th Station: 11th Station: 12th Station: 13th Station: 14th Station:
