Bent Planes

Concept

Bent planes is a project that uses proportionality as

means of expressionism. The project integrates and rejects architectural notions of Mies van der Rohe. Bent Planes does not seek to opaque the monumentality of the Farnsworth house, but rather its elements express an understanding and reverence of respect to Miesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; House.

The module 6’ x 4’ that drives this project was introduced as a tool, in order to negotiate outside and inside conditions. The modularity of this project is based on common necessities of the project. The module its multiplied to allocate parking spaces, walkways, public benches, platforms, and most importantly spaces throughout the visitor center.

Shifted Voids

Concept

The Spatial Model seeks for another alternative process of designing. The model proposes a set of design elements as rules. Thus, making the spatial model as an Element of evolution not implementation. Elements evolved from the model share the same unique traits, and their creations represent a reinterpretation of the Spatial Model.

Shifted Voids

Implementing voids among the mass produces special moments throughout the house. The intricate calibration of these voids arranges the desired program in relationship to four important spatial qualities: Transitional spaces, Private Spaces, Floating Spaces, Vertical Spaces. As a result, these qualities can represent attitudes form the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique characteristics and lifestyle.

Master Plan

Concept

Vertical Pools

+ This project uses parametric design to discern problems with the exponential growth of cities. The parameter, Simple and Complex, tries to merge intricate conditions with ordinary programmatic schemes. The project is divided in three phases: Creation of a Master Plan, Strategic approach to a specific site within the master plan, and a thoroughly completion of a Thalassotherapy center.

The placement of different program on a vertical scheme creates vertical complexities that allows a deeper interactivity among its users. Instead of having specific buildings of specific programs, we arranged mixed program conditions and created different moments of different activities on every building.

Water Link

Concept

The site lacked of interactivity with the city and its surroundings. Consequently, Water link is an effort to link important activities from the city to the river environment, while providing a place for social events and gathering. The notion of embracing kinetic energy, achieved by physical activities, drives the morphological approach of this project.

Perceptual Journey

Concept

Perceptual Journey is a project that tries to understand abstraction as a spatial condition, but not as a physical element. Rather, the use

of this system evokes, and at times reject, interest in specific areas of the building. The Physical understanding of two earlier projects, Perceptual wall and Spatial Abstraction, came to the creation of a system that contained an interaction these distinct environments

Morphology Morphology Perceptual Wall Aluminum wall installation. Because of its rich intricacy, this wall achieved a smooth transitional effect on a gradual change between a dark and light pattern

( (

) ) Spatial Abstraction

The ability to enhance a perceptual abstraction can be achieved by the changes on the surroundings. The project sought to critically change the spatial condition of the users with the alteration of the Common surroundings. The Experience becomes a key concept throughout the circulation of this space.
