Concerning my job experience, I've been able to develop in several working areas, from Architectural contest through the University, to working in an architecture office. These experiences have taken me to understand that my capacities have improved an for those reasons I can approach life with an architectural point of view.

Housing in Rapa Nui Proyect: sustainable growth and reforestation in Rapa Nui Programa: vivienda, agricultura y turismo Place: Eastern Island
Proyect Team:
› Juan Ayala › Claudia Paul › Jose Roman › Gabriel Santander

Process: This is the result of a national contest in which the university invite us to be in. Rapa Nui is an island with an unique historical and cultural tradition , with a big development in rock sculptures which represents their ancestors. , the “ Moais”. However, the constructions of these big pieces resulted in a extreme deforestation of the forest and all wildlife is extinct .Because of its image and also because it is an island made us realize we had to pursue a sustainable and logic use of the territory, from the
[Bienal de arquitectura 2008]
landscape relation with it ( including the plants and trees as a regrowth tool to the island it self) to the creation of a logic cropping system that we could model and use to generate ecologic roads and corridors. Because of the increasing interest of tourist, we have observed an increased growth in moving population through time. Likewise, we can see how the population of the island itself has been increasing too, hence an urban planning is imperative, one that adjust to the island´s needs and the tourist population, with both working and developing as a potential economic developer. The project is focused with different approaches in an area using as a morphologic design tool structural
typologies that , altogether connected one to another form the house living areas and connections between them. Each of these areas are responsible of creating a self-sustainable cropping system that is subjugated to the morphologic design of one single architectural cell unit, and without forgetting the use of the land soil to each crop typology. As a result of these logic approach of design and planning , we where able to generate two types of houses, one for the local user, and another for the tourist as a guest of the local families.

C.N.C.V. Project: Under shelter swimming center in Valdivia Program: Rowboat and swimming center, public pools, and wetlands conservation areas. Locationr: Valdivia, XIV Región de Los Rios, Chile Process: This project is created as part of the participation that Universidad Central de Chile school of Architecture had in the contest of IV concurso en madera CTT-CORMA 2009, which proposed the construction of a swimming center and rowing club located in Valdivia City, Chile. Master Plan Team:
› Felipe Castro › Oscar Contreras › Sebastián Ramírez › Gabriel Santander

The proposal has three main users, sportmen and women, tourists and local people. Which we can define because of the urban limits they have, this is the river, important element of this city.
Considering that nowadays Valdivia is presented as the capital of the new Los Rios region, we use this information and conclude that making this project will allow us to open it to the whole region and for that reason the same center must have a five thousand people capacity. Following this framework the work group proposes the following question, How would we be able to inform people about water sports? This generates a proposal which includes people gathering together round water sports. To achive this we suggest the building of public swimming pools surrounding.
This project also would like to acknowledge the old town historical backgound of the city, generating the
Tc
action of observing and being observe, proposing an improvement in the landscape around both borders of the river.
At the same time the project includes as a landscape and living proposal the existing wetlands at the edge of the city river.

The search for the material was generated by choosing one that could adapt and be programed. The result of this research created a system in where its components adapt with each other «a través de la variación de sus ángulos de giro y la variación en el largo de su base. El resultado formologico nos llevo a entender» The main objective of the curve is to keep along the continuity and at the same time be a structural element of the system. Due to that along the research we could prove all of this. For this same reason we could

also prove that using the curve system makes this an selfrelianse structure. (showned with the differen models.

Reconfiguration of South east limits of Providencia Proyect: conformación del corredor sur de providencia como eje estructurador intercomunal. Program: multifamiliar housing, commerce, education and cultura. Place: South east limits of Providencia Zone, Santiag. This area is constantly changing because of the building trades. Process: The urban piece of the investigation it´s define as an isolated part of the zone previously mentioned.This situation is given because of the structure of the zone itself, living it secluded from the core of it and also because of the daily high flow of people. This area has comercial spaces and different means of transportation to its borders.

The intervention point is in between Chile-España and Jaime Guzman streets having as a reference the nearness of La Catolica University campus .At this exact intersection we have the ending and starting of two different zones Providencia and Ñuñoa, which gives us two different urban plan, so you can find buildings up to ten floors facing others from one or two floors. How? 1.Enlarge Jaime Guzman street up to 14 mts.having four tracks for cars. 2.Move la linea oficial hacia la linea de edificacion en ambos costados de jaime guzman para aumentar el perfil de la calle, aprovechando el frontyard de las casas.
3.Moving the street towards Ñuñoas´s street in order to have a wider lengt, so it is posible to build a pedestrain walking area. 4.subir la altura del borde providencia a lo especificado en el plan regulador para hacer frente a el actual borde de ñuñoa. 5.Regain green areas to give a different aspect to the street.

Sustainable Housing in[ Rapa Nui] CLEFA 2009
Project: Sustainable growing and development in the Island of Rapa Nui Program: Homes, agriculture and tourism Paced in: Rapa Nui Island In this second stage the improving and strengthening of the project was to emphasize in terms of the development of its parts ( constructive elements as Proyect Team:

well as in architectural logic). Without leaving behind the work done in the BIENAL contest, CLEFA made us entered in an indepth analysis of the element itself as a programmatic cell that mutes into a skin that creates and flow through the spaces in the project as an element in the immediate interaction with the user. This essential and vital cell was not totally develop in the previews contest (BIENAL), but in CLEFA we where able to do so, together with a more finished and
Tc
developed version of the other aspects of the project, altogether form a low-tech approach and a logic sustainability applied to social development and repercussion, making possible to use local hand labor within the different constructions methods in each phase.

CODELCO Headquarters Proyect: Codelco headquartesr division El Teniente,(corporacion del cobre) Program: office, commerce and services. Place: Rancagua, VI Región, Chile, next to down town from Rancagua, where you can find the area that Codelco uses for stocking and distributing of copper.

Process:The company´s idea is to put together the administrative area and the operational area sharing a multifuctional building, trying to give a better life quality for all the workers that now work there. Another reason is because of the many
desseases that they face because of the work and work place. During the first stages of the Project a master plan was built, having the rail ways as a main focus in the development of the proyect since they represent an important part of the city and also as divider of it. For this reason the proyect we proposed as an urban suture, giving value this intermediate space, connecting some interesting parts, linked to the city and also joining trough this corridor programático. From the beginning, in terms of the personal development, we looked to work with the industrial image that Codelco
T9-10
has. And on the other hand also integrating the city itself by the connection of public spaces. This way the building creates spaces that allows people to use them.
