KoshinoHouse by TadaoAndo.
This model was an assignment for my model making course in 2009, in which I had to explore how Tadaoresolved the issue of incorporating two perfectly geometrical bodies to the irregular form of the terrain.
GRANATUM-Granada Performing Arts Centre by KengoKuma.
These renders and sketches were my final assignment for my digital modeling course in 2010, in which I had to analyze Kengo’sidea for a contest in Spain, and develop it in the different computer programs such as Revit, 3dmax and Photoshop. Although the irregular beehive form of the main elevation made the project challenging, the diverse tools in these programs generated a very appealing output.

OLMEC EXHIBITION
This project's purpose was to create an area in a museum to expose an the colossal heads which is the most recognizable feature of Olmecculture. The area had to contain six elements ( stairs, columns, beams, mezzanines, lattices, and walls.) which enclosed the expositional area. This project was a final assignment for Design Fundamental II, in 2009. The fusion of the light and the internal gardens made it possible to create a similar environment to where the heads where initially found.
Rodovre KomunneBibliotekby Arne Jacobsen
Rodovre KomunneBibliotekby Arne Jacobsen Rodovre Library was a case study I was assigned with a classmate in Architectonic projects 3, in 2011. Our main purpose was to analyze how Jacobsen resolved the issues concerning the location of the project, the light, and space distribution,. We had to create a model in which with a section we could observe all the main spaces in the building. This case study will later on be used in the creation of my own project of a library, located in col. Lomas del Tampiquito, San Pedro Garza Garcia, N. L.
TAMPIQUITO LIBRARY
The Library was a project intended to unite two social economical classes that resided in this area of San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico. The aim was the creation of cultural- recreational spaces such as reading spaces, theater, green areas, and library, which where all interconnected. The green areas can be observed clearly due that they enfolds all the proyect. This proyect evolved through the semester in Architectonic projects 3, in 2011 and it was located in col. Lomas del Tampiquito, San Pedro Garza Garcia, N. L.
