Portfolio By Juan De Leon


Resume & Bio My name is Juan De Leon; I am an architecture student. I am currently enroll in Texas Tech University and expect to graduate on December 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. I have completed my Associates of Science in Architecture at Texas Southmost College on 2014. I have been privilege to grow up in a bicultural environment. Growing up in Mexico have allowed me to truly understand Hispanic culture and how families and individuals enjoy their homes and their overall experience of the environment. Meanwhile, have lived more than half of my life in the United States created an opportunity to explore the importance of design and space making and how the overall urban environment affect the social interaction of our community. My dream is to design architectural spaces that promote unique experiences, foster positive social interaction, and inspire sustainable urban environment.

Fragmented “Rest�Rooms The proposed design is situated in a cotton field. It consist of four related structures with diverse programs that could be located anywhere in the site. Those structures provided resting spaces for farmers to use. The fragmentation of the program allows repetition of structures to be placed as needed. Three principles are imposed on the design of each program based on their characteristics. The programmatic requirements are distributed and superimposed among the landscape.

Floor Plan

The design is formulated by a process of fragmentation that is repeated to create four different structures. A matrix is generated in order to establish a systematic design process. This system or matrix follows three principles of organization; lines, surfaces, and volumes. A different combination of the three principles is applied to each programmatic space based on the characteristic of each space. The design allows the repetition of programs, consisting in a series of related structures. The programmatic requirements are distributed and superimposed among the landscape.

Memories An exploration of West Texas through the eyes of my correspondent artist; Donald Judd; allow to identify elements that were located in the vast space of West Texas and that existed by themselves. Elements such as pump jacks, water irrigation systems, cotton fields, oil drilling rigs and art. Oil drilling rigs had a great impact in West Texas economy and topography. Influenced by Donald Judd, I develop a hundred diagrams to find the relation betweem building to site and programs to building. Point and areas where used in those diagrams to identify the relationships. By combining all information, the diagram transforms in a series of memories. Those memories will translate into the design logic of the building and its structure. A repetition of my element into the design is integrated showing a set of memories fading away or becoming present every moment. The structure follows the same logic.

Leon’s House The proposed house is situated in Lubock, TX. The process involved designing the house is to create construction documents and construction detail drawings. The idea was to create a residence for an artist to work, and be inspire by the landscape. The entrance of the house is located at the south. The house is divided in two main areas the lower level is the public space and the upper level is the private area having all the bedrooms. The drawings and renderings are produced using Revit 2016 & Adobe Photoshop.

Texas Bank Branch The proposed bank design is situated in Downtown San Antonio, TX. The creation of exciting spaces and aesthetics become a point of interest among the Downtown Area. The building is the sculpture that attracts the visitor/costumers. As a sculpture, it is place in the garden where is given the importance that deserves. The garden welcomes visitors and functions as a transitional space from the plaza to the actual function of the building, a bank. The double skin acts as a shading device for the building. The atrium is located at the south-west corner where it was the most prominent views.

Curves The creating of this project is through the experimentation of emerging technologies and digital methodologies. The following model came from a process of mapping and analysing uniform models in the physical world. Once a digital model was created the idea was to experiment with possibilities for assembly.

Digital Design Fabrication Using modern technology and aIgorithms I fabricated my own representation of a Baroque Altar. The idea is to create a more organic form following the proportions and hierarchies of the altar from the Basicila of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. The design drags away from the ornamentation of the Baroque archicture and creates a simple true form.
