The Paper Dress was designed as a 2-week project at the Oklahoma State University as part as a competition. The concept of the project is to show how people hides behind Fashion and sometimes instead of connecting people works as a barrier. “Fashion as a barrier� had a special mention and was developed by a team of 3 people: Evelyn Junco Alexandra Barnes Julio Jimenez

“From the theory of Darwin’s evolution to the modulor of Le Corbusier. if Darwin proposed the evolution of species could the evolution of space develop from the analysis and studies of the “new urban species” found in the last decades? Professional development spaces, where groups of people are designated as species [punk, hip-hop, dark, tattoo, graffiti, breakdance, s8k, parkour, emo, etc.] guarantee their evolution and survival, developing their skills and extending their “lifetime”. These species become extinct when they have to fit in to the predominant society or when they have to follow the established patterns by the society itself: get 9 to 5 job in an office, pay taxes, get married, having kids, spending hours in the public transportation, hiding their identity. the classification of these groups of species, find your GENE, the code that will define the necessary edification to shelter “new professions” supporting now the evolution of the species and the evolution of space while integrating new typologies.”

JUN(G.L.A.) is an art center placed in Cuernavaca, Morelos. Every volume represents an urban specie. The main concept is give shelter to the urban species that are in danger to dissapear. A F.A.R.O (Art and jobs factory) is an idea created in Mexico to reduce cirme and to give people places where they can express their selfs and have the opportunity to produce art and sell it. The idea of floating the volumes was to produce open/roofed areas to impulse the use of them and to make them create an urban culture identity.

[h e l p 2 o] By the eighteenth century, Mexico City’s architecture was renowned, and often compared with the best Europe had to offer. For a period, Mexico City remained by the lakeside. But flooding became a constant problem. After 1629, when several thousand people died in floods, Lake Texcoco and surrounding lakes were drained or filled in. Yet flooding still remained a problem at the turn of the twenty-first century. H(elp) 2 0 project is a response to the floodings in Morelos. The idea was to create an emerging house that could be built easily and after some time could be used as a permanent house.

[p ot r e r o s ] Potreros is a project that takes place in the city of Cuernavaca, Morelos. It consists of a hotel, two apartment towers and a local restaurant implanted in a land with a level difference ranging from 0-14 meters. Part of the design concept is to produce elongated and oriented to take advantage of the views of the volcanoes and the city of Cuernavaca buildings illuminated at night. Similarly, they try to affect, to the extent possible, the least the flora within the premises and the use of stone materials for building it. It is considered important that the hotel is not only used on weekends by people attending events at the Garden Huayacรกn, for this reason, it is proposed that the project has a restaurant and bar outside the hotel to foster open the field to citizens of Jiutepec and Cuernavaca. The hotel capacity is 34 rooms, a conference centre with two lecture halls that can cater to 70 people each, healthcare, services, restaurant, lobby bar and reception.

PR. ESCUELA is a project developed in 2 weeks. The aim of this project was to propose an educational project in Cuernavaca, Morelos (MX). The site was next to a huge land used for cropping flowers. In addition, part of the project was to develope a new construction system with recycled materials.

A Canvas for the City is an Urban project developed at the Oklahoma State University. The project takes place in Portland, Oregon. The proposal is a mix-use tower block in the centre of downtown. As shown in the diagram, the main concept of the project was to provide the City of Portland a larger amount of public space while involving street art and housing in the north part of the site. The project was an 8-week team work where Clarissa Hoskinson, Jay Putnam, Tyler Buser, Dawson Clark and Julio Jimenez.

P R I M A R Y OBJECTIVES
VISION
[R E T R O F I T ]
“The Brenfort Towers should unite the existing building structure with thermal and sustainable features to enhance human experience and quality of life; in addition, the project should integrate to the context as a outstanding landmark”
-To Create an atractive and effective open space to live. -To Give to the habitants common spaces to live and have recreation activities. -To improve the original building thermal performance and to improve daylight quality in the room.
VALIDATION The Brentford towers is a retrofit project developed during my studies at the University of Sheffield while doing a Masters in Sustainable Architecture Studies. As shown in the diagram the vision was to reduce de energy performance, daylight illumination and quality of living of the people inside the flats. It was decided the do a radical architecture transformation in the towers while refurbishing and rearranging the apartments. As shown in the plans, the areas and apartments were relocated taking in consideration the actual structure. In addition, a study made in PhPP shows that the primary energy dropped down from the original performance a 43.7% having as a result 260 kWh/(m2a). In addition, the space heating demand had a reduction of the 67.6%.ld while doing a Masters in Sustainable Architecture Studies. As shown in the diagram the vision was to reduce de energy performance, daylight illumination and quality of living of the people inside the flats.
LIVING ROOM
-Create a Design Ph and PhPP study to understand the performance of the insulation and ventilation system. -Make an illuminance and Solar illumination study to improve the amount of light inside the flats. -Create iterations of proposals that respect the structure of the building and offer new solutions for the habitants.
CONCRETE OBJETIVES
SOLUTION -Use insulation for a better performance of the building. -Create a façade study to improve the views of the residents and illumination inside the building. -Expand the balcony area of the flat to improve the interior space of the apartments. -Propose new areas of interaction for the people
LIVING ROOM
-To improve the daylight solar factor between 2 and 5 percent in the main areas of the apartment --Energy consumption under 100 kWh/m2/y (70% energy saving compared to existing building) -Access to daylight in most of the living spaces. -Provide several public space for residents.

[ SIHL RIVER SIDE ]
As objectives: -Conserve the natural landscapes and privide recreational areas -Protection of the residents from harmfull effects and nuisances such asnoice and air pollution
-Provide the residents with natural illumination and ventilation dependind on the season -Reduction of the effects of environment, inhabitants and economy -To integrate the building to its context
:(
The Sihl River side project was a poject developed during the Design studio 2, the vision of this proposal is that “The project should work as a conection between the urban landscape and the river while providing the people with new attractive outdoor areas and residentials spaces where they can live in comfort”
Concrete objectives: -Heating demand 25 kWh/m2/y -Energy demand 120 kWh/m².yr -Reconfiguration on the spaces during different seasons (open public spaces) -Access to daylight in the apartment up to 6 to 5%

The space heating result was 21 kwh/(m2a) that achieves the requirements for Enerphit. The primary energy is close to the benchmark set but was not achieved, the final result was 131 kWh/(m2a). It is important to mention that in less than a month the project, during July, tends to overheat (as shown in image 8.4) however, it needs to be taken into consideration if a cooling system is required (this could potentially increase the primary energy requirements) or some shading could fix that potential in the south facades. This could be added in the balconies en prevent from that issue.
