The purpose of the construction is to keep things together and architecture’s is to delight us.

Open minded, intelligent, sociable, applied, responsible and idealistic; I consider myself as a person who proposes a different way of seeing the world. I’m interested in visual architecture, in the impressions that architecture produces into users and the sensations that involves living and design each space. Technology, progress and projections characterise my likes and empathies in this profession.

Talking about the interior distribution of the airport, the arrangement of the plans is defined by the fluid movement of passengers within the terminal. Corridors are free of obstacles and have interior gardens that allows a visual link between the outdoor´s tropical enviroment and the dynamics inside the airport. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

The main reference of the airport, according to the form, was the dorsal fin of the Humpback Whale, which, in two annual seasons, visit the Pacific coast of Colombia. The height plays an important role in the project: allows to keep the hot air at the top of the building letting the fresh air that enters, stay concentrated in the lower levels. The use of solar panels on the roof modules allows an efficient energy consumption, while it is generated by the cells. The modules in the roof, are automated, so they move to control the entry of air into the terminal.

Located in a popular area in the west of Bogotรก, the school tries to help young people to get an appropriate academic formation and creates new alternatives of generating some earnings for their own and, with the colaboration of the district, be able to create their own work based on the wood's manufacture and wood's industrial treatment and production. The design of the school is focused on the prominent topography of the area and in a simple combination of the basic geometrical forms used in architechture; the addition and subtraction of volumes taking notice of the principal axes and tensions of the proper ty and it's boundaries are the design paremeters used on this project. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

The Sound Shower is a contemporary interpretation of the Babel Tower in the context of the Expo 2015 to be held in Milan, designed for the space of the Agape 12 showroom. The focus of the project is to highlight the aspect of multi-culturality among diverse Expo visitors, with an emphasis on the variance between the languages spoken by them and how they can find their comfort zone in the space, using the sense of sound and hearing.
