Design Projects Fall 2018

Arch 100C |”Disaster Studio”: Museo GeoHundido Collaborative work | This studio challenged students to choose and address aspects of a recent natural disaster in any part of the world. Museo GeoHundido (GeoSunk Museum) tackled some of the issues of subsidence in Mexico City through the use of informative spaces that produce behavioral changes in visitors.

Spring 2018 Arch 100B |“Good Food”: Awareness Individual work | Students were challenged to design a multi-use building with the purpose of linking the community to the production of healthy foods. Awareness focused on the idea of visual connection between all spaces in order to keep the community connected to the procedures followed in the healthy foods industry.

Fall 2017

Arch 100A |“Double Negative”: Transition

Individual work | Designed a hypothetical Library with the purpose of creating spaces through the intersection of solid/void conditions. Transition is a project that attempts to create transitional impacts between spacious and narrow spaces through the use of geometric intersections.

Spring 2016 Design Village Competition - “Aura”: The Aura Sphere

Collaborative work | Design-Build | Competitors were challenged to orchestrate the material and tectonic nature of their designs so that they produce a transcendent and immaterial effect. The Aura Sphere uses a combination of light and color to convey a presence of atmosphere and quality that seems to surround and be generated by the occupant.

METRO

Surrounding the well-known landmark, there are multiple other historical and architectural landmarks that are currently in danger

Museo GeoHundido is a research-oriented project that aims to address some of the key factors affecting the issue of subsidence in the Historical Center of Mexico City, MX through the use of informative spaces that produce behavioral changes in visitors.

The research process started by analizing the history of Mexico City’s soil conditions and colonization period in order to interpret and tackle specific causes that led to the severe sinking conditions the city is now against.

Renderings

Museo GeoHundido follows a specific procession in which visitors will encounter: history, disaster causes, disaster consecuences, and plausible disaster solutions.

The design is centered on creating distinct sensations in each of the spaces to allow visitors to experience and harvest better understanding of the issue in order to achieve gradual behavioral changes that will create and shape conscience for a better future.

PROGRAM

The design consisted on completely separated areas connected only through ciculation and visuals. The use of color within the building acts as a recogniztion strategy for the community. Specific colors are assigned to singleprogram areas to easily make distinctions regarding the use for such.

Operable windows on roof

Performance is a project that focuses on the study of opperability and design strategy execution on elevational and sectional levels.

The goal was to design a small section of a hypothetical building that could deal with natural ventilation, sunlight exposure, and appealing connection to structural elements while creating separations between public and private spaces.

Fritted glass/shading strategy

The proposal makes emphasis on the use of double height spaces as well as strategically placed fritted glass along the facades. The main double height space is defined as a private “hanging room� that is connected to the roof truss structure through structural cables.

Natural ventilation is achived through the use of operable windows on the southwest facade and roof.

Evelope is a precedent study of A simple Factory Building designed by Pencil Office and located in Singapore. This analytical drawing studies the performative qualities of the concrete evelope that wraps around the longitudinal axis of the building. The envelope performs as a shadow generator that helps minimize solar gains as well as an aesthetically relevant feature that became the identiy of the building.
