What’s your sign: collage For my first collage I want to evoke the word “Faithful”. This collage represent the things that had impacted my life the most. Changing my way of thinking. The indigenous people represent evolution, history, and struggle. I feel that we owe so much to our ancestors because they when through so much physical and emotional pain in order for us to have a better future. However, modern society don’t give them enough credit. Instead we reject the fact that some of us have indigenous descend and we reject anyone who looks like it. And that really hurts my heart. The naked women standing on the back of the bus is an strong image that opened my eyes to see how unequal this world is to women. We have sexualized, humiliated and disrespect women through the history of humanity. But I’m faithful that together with awareness and love we can change the path our society has taken, and take it to a beautiful world for our future generation to come.
WHAT’S YOUR SIGN: COLLAGE TO ME THIS SECOND COLLAGE REPRESENTS UNITY. I BELIEVE THAT NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A STRONG FOUNDATION AND A STRONG BOND. FOLLOWED BY SOLIDARITY AMONG PEOPLE.
3D COLLAGE IN THIS SECOND PROJECT WE HAVE TO INTERPRET OUR FIRST COLLAGE IN A 3D MODEL. IT WAS PRETTY CHALLENGING TO COME UP WITH IT BECAUSE I HAD NEVER BEEN ASKED TO DO SUCH A THING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I MANAGED MYSELF TO CREATE A STRUCTURE THAT SYMBOLIZES MY PERSPECTIVE IN LIFE; OF BALANCE, EQUALITY, AND UNITY. AND AT THE SAME TIME BEING ABLE TO INCORPORATE IT INTO A BIG SCALE.

FIST WALL: WALL OF WONDER, SPAE AND NATURE
IN THIS FIRST WALL I WANTED TO INTERPRET THE SENSATION OF SPACE THROUGH BIG WINDOWS. FACING A BEAUTIFUL GREEN GARDEN, GIVING A LOT OF NATURAL LIGHT TO THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE ,AND THE BEAUTY OF IT’S GREEN TREES AND PLANS.
A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY IN THE HEART OF THE MISSION 24TH MISSION ST
-‐WONDER -‐EMOTION
The unequal feeling of wonder that only the mission has, along with the sensation of discovery that it’s diversity of races and culture transmit.
24TH MISSION ST
IN THIS WALL I’M TRYING TO BREAK WITH SYMMETRY, MAKING A BEAUTIFUL MODERN SPACIOUS HOUSE WITH HIGH GLASS WALL GOING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE ROOF, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE NATURAL LIGTH GO THROUGH. THE GLASS ALSO PERMITS US APRETIATE THE XTRERIOR AND MAKES A SENSATION OD RELIF. . IN THE OTHER HALF OF THE HOUSE I WANTED TO CREATE A MORE PRIVATE, ROMANTIC AREA UNDER A CIRCULAR COLUMN MAKING A MORE ROMANTIC AND PLACENTER.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOUSE WE HAVE A THICK AND STRONG COLUMN ALMOST MONUMENTAL WHICH GIVE THE SENSATION OF BEIGN PROTECTED FROM IT BY IT’S STRENGTH AND FIRMNESS.
FINAL WALL
TO FINISH THIS WALL I ADDED A PERPENDICULAR WALL TO THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE TO REDEFINE THE ENTRANCE OF THE HOUSE
MAKE A WALL
IN THIS WALL I’M STILL TRYING TO AVOID SYMMETRY. THE CIRCULAR PART OF THE STRUCTURE IS ATTEMPTED TO EVOKE A SENSE OF PRIVACY, A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN SEAT, RELAX AND CHAT, WITHOUT BEING DISTURBE BY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING. THE FRONT PART HAS A BIG WINDOW ALLOWING NATURAL LIGHT TO GO THROUGH AND RELIEVING TENSION IN THE INTERIOR.
In a shopping day where everything seems to be perfect

You know you are getting tired, But your instinct does not let you flake And you know you can do better that‌
The beauty of the city seems To never end
But you get to your limits And all you can think of is food and a nice place to rest
Oh wait‌ what's that? There is this beautiful place that has all the things you have been craving for the past hour
The view is unbelievable Is crazy‌ not only does it have food, drinks, but also a beautiful view to the city
Ideal to spend your afternoon surrounded by great people and delicious food
