THE SITE
THE DESIGN
The current project is an integrated hub that comprises research, exhibi�on space and accommoda�ons. As a well ranked research campus, the chosen target market is visi�ng scholars and researchers at the University of Illinois, more specifically in the Colleges of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES).
The selected site is located in the Energy Farm, in Urbana, IL. In this loca�on, interdisciplinary research within sustainability, energy and environmental needs is developed in the following areas: solar climate solu�ons, energy transi�ons, building sustainable infrastructure, water and land stewardship, nature secure and sustainable agriculture.
The design aims to harmonize and integrate with the agricultural nature of the surroundings, therefore, the building’s form alludes to the tradi�onal agricultural structures of the Midwest from which the form originates (greenhouses, farmhouses, barn-like structures).

Location: Baitasi Historic District, Beijing, China Program: The aim of the Plym Studio was to recover the identity and cultural memory of one of the most important historical urban fabrics in the old town of Beijing. This place is being fragmented and destroyed due to the drastic urbanization that affects everyone. The design proposal is to renovate an abandoned farmers market in the local Bai-Ta-Si community with new public spaces that promote community life. Following the roots of phenomenology, the design aims to achieve a sustained urban evolution by creating a link between the past, the present, and the future. Concept: The idea of this project is to recover the community life characteristic of the "Hutongs" or alleys that make up the Baitasi district. In this place there were functions such as the market and public baths that generated a meeting space, which because of modern life, have been lost and therefore fragmented the community spirit. In response, this project merges market and baths into a single public character space. The connection between both functions is given by the public space par excellence, the patio. The Shape: The form of both functions will emerge from the context. Solid gray brick walls separate life inside the house, with the outside world. The door of ancient China, a semicircular arch, is the link between these two worlds; which when extruded becomes a vault. The vault therefore becomes the space, the form and the materiality of the project. The vault is nested in the landscape and bows to other nearby public spaces such as the pagoda or the forbidden city. The Water: Water is the articulator of the project through channels that converge in the garden, the central space. At the street level, space is permeable and of human scale, while the curved roof generates visual openings to the Baitasi context. The function: On one hand, the market is conceived as a vivid space with small stores open to the street level where neighbors can get a hair cut, buy icecream, repair their shoes or have the tea ceremony. The market also serves as a public space to buy groceries from local sellers. Therefore, this space is flexible, providing only a band of services that liberate the interior of the vault for sellers and events of the community in two main levels. On the other hand, the baths are spread in two main volumes for men and women separately. Similarly, each vault has a service band area that liberates the interior. Inside, water drawers form the spatial atmosphere in conjunction with the lights, textures, and fog.

URBAN WORKSHOP+ AMAZON RAINFOREST The workshop is based on urban and territorial design strategies to reduce deforestation in a sensitive region of Ecuador's Amazon Rainforest. The objective was to research and propose strategies to challenge the consequences of the Manta-Manaus Project, a government plan to create an alternative route to the Panama Canal trough the Amazon, part of the Initiative for the Integration of the Regional Infrastructure of South America (IIRSA). NETWORK OF COMMUNITY MICRO-ENTERPRISES The project is focused on a network of communities on a 40 km radius of influence of a new river port being built by the Government. Looking at these settlements as a system , we propose a territorial organization scheme of small businesses that would add up to form a bio-industry of local products that would aim to economically sustain several local farmer families. The spatial organization of the project allowed to distribute activities in a way that would reduce pressure on surrounding forests because more people would be able to work on value adding processes on raw material before sending it to the Pacific coast through roads or to Brazil through rivers.

MULTI-SCALE PROJECT The project requires an analysis at different scales, starting from a macro-scale, which analyzes the territory and the agents involved in the network. This defines the organization, production, and type of micro-enterprise that each community, around The Providencia Port, will generate according to its context. It ends with a micro-scale that will allow us to define the way in which the type of micro-enterprise will be implemented in the place and how its adherence to the community will affect the life and development patterns of its settlers. Searching for all scales that the word COMMUNITY becomes something, physical, real and tangible.

THE LIBRARY Esmeraldas is a provience in coastal area of Ecuador where the level of iliteracy is very high. The Catholic University needs a new campus. A Multimedia library was under my design and proposal. The library is opened to the public and served as a social connector between the academy and the city. The project rescues local materials as bamboo and manages the following concept: The book is the structure of the space, and around it there are several ways to read into the nature. My intent was to create different atmospheres where people can read in connection with the nature that sorrounds the library.

EXTENDING BORDERS The house idea is to confront it with a river - 30meters down the house floor - and locate the building in the middle of a hill to take advantage of the view and intensify the user experience into nature while walking through the interior spaces. The context is surrounded by trees and endemic species. The house is created upon a succesion of concrete arches in order to touch the least possible the ground and also let natural ventilation into the house. The area has bamboo trees, that is why we use this vernacular material as structure and furniture of the home. Because the owners are elder people, the house has only one floor to facilitate mobility. VEGETATION In front of the house, we locate bushes, and small vegetation in order to benefit from the panoramic view. However, behind the building, we planted big trees and dense forest to disconnect the house from the road, the noise and finally give natural shadow to protect it from an excess of sunlight. GESTURES Brick is the material that divides spaces, and soft curves introduce the principal entrances to different atmospheres or living areas.

PLATFORMS Finally, we get a building that has just one floor, shaped with platforms located at different heights from the ground, which helps to the spatial distribution inside the building, by taking advantage of the terrain topography. COMPOSITIONAL GARDENS Proposing a house organized around gardens with different kinds of vegetation, we got natural sunlight. Then, we rotate the house east-west to get more sunlight inside the bedrooms and living areas.

EXPAND WITHOUT DESTROYING Although the absence of space suitable for transformation or expansion in social housing, the user asked for the expansion of her backyard in order to solve the need for family space. Occupying just half of the garden, the project still will have natural light and ventilation. This is how a square free area was the begginign of the project. The square was the concept to organize space, shape, materiality and finally the atmosphere of the house. Finally, the project worked in layers, starting wit a steel structure as the biggest one, later brick as masonry which creates square shapes and finally a frame of glass that breaks homogenity and evidence the garden in front of the construction.

SCHEME - 3 STRIPS service
circulation The second band is the circulation that connects social areas with rooms and services and gets sunlight in the building. Finally, the third band is shaped by rooms and living room. Just this area has windows opened to the park in front of the house.
