COMMUNITY CENTER | COLINA NOUA CENTER |
DIRECTED THESIS STUDIO | 2018 COLINA NOUA , ROMANIA
The project designed, is a Community Center for a developing community in rural Romania. The premise of the village is to develop a fully functional community in order to attract young families and individuals, to live in an entirely new environment, away from the density and unsafe atmosphere that Romania’s second largest city is currently facing. With the idea that this new village will connect and merge a vast variety of people with different beliefs and own traditions, the community centers seek to act as a center for every new citizen, to create connections, meet their neighbors and create an identity. As they build an identity, they develop a sense of place, necessary for any community to survive. The conceptual idea behind the design of this project is based on being located between the three main destinations of the community, which are the Village center, the school, and an existing farm. The location of the Community Center, its also located in a future green zone intended to be afforested with local trees, as a way to keep the citizens intimately connected to nature by also acting as a green and natural lung in the village. The design of the community center takes advantages of this issues by playing with the landscape in a way that it makes it appear as its incrusted in the landscape itself. This way it begins the process of connecting and creating the identity of this community connected towards nature. Instructor: Michael McInturf + Aarati Kanekar 2

LIBRARY | UNFOLDING PERSPECTIVES |
LYCEUM FELLOWSHIP | 2017 | MERIT AWARD WASHINGTON HEIGHTS. NEW YORK
Being the foundation of excellence in ancient and modern construction, the stone material represents the history of the world and it is the foundation of the concept for this project. The proposed library occupies the only site on the terrace where a natural environment exists. An outcropping of Manhattan Schist surmounted by a grouping of trees shapes the change in elevation between the upper terrace and 156th Street below. In honour of this condition, the new library is organized around a series of stone walls that create directionality and frame a vertical space for vegetation. At the 156th Street level the building appears solid, stable and reassuring while offering dynamic views up to the terrace above. Rising through the building, the presence of stone becomes increasingly dematerialized until, rising above the terrace level, it disappears completely into something light and sublime, a garden that echoes the natural environment that once existed below.

CULTURAL | COLUMBUS ATHENAEUM |
M.ARCH - 1ST STUDIO | 2015 COLUMBUS, INDIANA
The Columbus Athenaeum, located in Indiana, it’s a center for the arts whose purpose is to attract and create a sense of involvement among the people of this unique town and the arts. With a very community oriented program, this project merges a library, auditorium, private and public exhibition spaces as well as gathering spaces. With such program, the city seeks to attract not only their current citizens but visitors as well. The design approach grasps the directionality of pedestrian circulation along the main street, merging them into a dynamic program. The project attempts to imitate that behavior into the building, acting like a micro city with streets as corridors thought the levels. The Facade design, reinforce the concept of density, circulation and directionality. With multiple layers of horizontal elements, the plane becomes visually permeable, creating a sense of movement throughout the building.

MULTIDWELLING | DISPLACEMENT BUILDING | B.ARCH - 6TH STUDIO | 2014 SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
Located on Loiza Street, Displacement sets out to provide a public space to incorporate in the strip-like Puerto Rican street. Loiza Street is known for being a very commercial street and its nightlife, with new clubs, bars and restaurants, is becoming very popular. The concept for displacement is shifted volumes that create the apartment towers. It originated with various modules that interlock next to or on top of each other to create open air areas like balconies. As the building it feeds on its visual context, sun and ventilation The shifted geometry seeks to provide such assets into each space and apartment of the building. The Construction of the tower is conceived with a modular (Steel Beam) Structure, as a way to reduce the building weight and construction efficiency. This Project was designed in collaboration of Madelyn Moretta.

MARKET | PERMEABLE MARKET | B.ARCH - 4TH STUDIO | 2013 SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
The permeable market in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s capital city, propose a connection from one of many vibrant plazas of the old city, with the bay front in which tourist density occurs. Located in front of the bay, near the ports, the market, it’s enriched by the density of pedestrians who came from the center of the city or the cruises, looking for a public and enjoyable open space to eat and hang out. The concept of the Permeable market, seeks to create a project full of transparency, light and breathtaking views. Its enclosure acts like a frame, emphasizing the panorama of the bay, which is Covered with a brise soleil, who makes this market transparent and permeable.

HOUSING | MARINE HABITAT |
HERE AND NOW COMPETITION | 2017 CULEBRA ISLAND, PUERTO RICO
Coral Reefs are dying. Hosting over 25% of marine life, 60% of reefs are already seriously damaged by local sources such as overfishing, coral bleaching, pollution and disease. This project addresses this condition by proposing a combination house/laboratory for marine biologists to work on the preservation of this endangered resource. The selected site is located in Culebra Puerto Rico. For many years this area was a US military base in which different practices and bomb tests were carried out. These events greatly affected the marine ecosystem of the area. The house is conceived in two parts; half above water, half below. The underwater portion contains the lab and is designed as an artificial reef that provides rough surfaces onto which corals can attach. As the coral grows, the area will become a natural habitat for a diverse ecosystem of marine life. The proposed house represents a desire to create a symbiotic habitat for both humans and marine life.

PERKINS + WILL
Washington DC Ikitelli Integrated Health Campus January - May 2016
While working at Perkins and Will, my primary task involved preparing presentation drawings, physical models and conceptual diagrams for a 950,000m hospital project, located in Turkey, Istanbul. I worked directly with the director of design and his team, where I had the responsibility of developing and drawing the multiple façade system iterations. Perkins and Will has a vision of finding innovative solutions to their design problems. For the development of the façade, my team explores many possibilities, taking into consideration sustainable practices and overall “feeling” of the design. Over the months that I was involved in this project I was able to grasp the methods implemented to design and develop a building of such scale. I not only increased my skills in Revit software to produce drawings, but I was able to see the façade design evolve from multiple ideas into an almost finalize one.

Process Physical Models. Physical models were done with laser-cutter as study, process models to study the overall building massing iterations and scale. Models for client presentations were also part of my task during my time at Perkins and Will. As the project evolved, I switch into drawing and developing facade systems iterations based on multiple studies and conceptual ideas.

BOHLIN CYWINSKI JACKSON PHILADELPHIA, PA Under Armour - Campus Headquarters August - december 2016
While working at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, one of the tasks I was involved with, where generating diagrams, imagery, and photomontages, for client and firm (internal) presentations for a campus headquarters of a sport’s company (Under Armour). The project located in Baltimore, it’s currently under development, and it’s divided into multiple design phases. I worked directly with the team from the Philadelphia office, as I also had to coordinate with other offices which were also involved in the project. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson follows a very elegant, humane and simplistic design methodology that goes from its early design phase to a specific detail in the building. As an intern, I experience the process of schematic design development with the principals and other team members, getting understanding of what it takes to develop such building, in coordination with multiple offices. In addition to the Under Armour Project, I had the opportunity to participate in design competitions, and other smaller projects were I brought my skills of representation and diagram making. In the latter, I produce exploded axons, sections, and diagrams to help explain the design intent and development. SUPERVISORS :

BOHLIN CYWINSKI JACKSON PHILADELPHIA, PA 277 Park Avenue August - december 2016
In addition to the experience with the team on the Under Armour project, I was also involved in a smaller project in Park Avenue, New York. For this project, the firm was proposing several renovation ideas to boost and create a more functional and appealing lobby/entrance and elevator corridor, as a way to attract potential office (floor) space renters. During this project, I generate several presentation diagrams, sections, plans and other types of general drawings and documents, necessary and used for internal meetings and client presentations. In addition, I also helped on creating study models for the elevator corridor, which was also done in coordination with lighting designers as an exercise to understand and study the different lighting conditions in the long corridor.
