“Spinning� Creation of objects as a means of architectural experimentation give depth to the design process. This object of experimentation is part of an academic project, a design of a single family house in which is inherent the transformation of the objects as a concept.
six pack Basurama RUS, San Juan Group Work
The study area is located between Santurce’s bus stops 15 and 18. It is mainly occupied by commercial uses, such as coffee shops, bars, cafeterias, and strip clubs. Places like these generate a waste we’re usually unaware of because of how insignificant it seems to be in relation to the product contained: six-pack plastic rings. Although they’re a very small leftover, their accumulation can be very harmful for the environment. We decided to take advantage of this accumulative effect to create a woven textile with this material, which turned out to be resistant, weightless, manageable, and esthetically dynamic. http://www.ciudadlab.com/workshops/basurama-rus-san-juan

matter =anti anti-matter -matter Conservation Workshop New York, United States
Space dematerialization is the disappearance of a conceptual or physical space, this can be caused by different characteristics inherent therein or alternate agents that affect it. The contemporary design of the Museum of Modern Art in New York causes the museum’s main atrium dematerialize by special lighting, scale, color and more. My view of conservation is in contrast to the existing concept, but using the express configuration for Puerto Rican features modern architecture.
Interior + Light = Matter
Exterior + Reflection = Antimatter
“Between these two, I would then set that sort of mixed experience which partakes of the qualities of both types of location, the mirror. It is, after all, a utopia, in that it is a place without a place. In it, I see myself where I am not, in an unreal space that opens up potentially beyond its surface; there I am down there where I am not, a sort of shadow that makes my appearance visible to myself, allowing me to look at myself where I do not exist: utopia of the mirror. At the same time, we are dealing with a heterotopia. The mirror really exists and has a kind of comeback effect on the place that I occupy: starting from it, in fact, I find myself absent from the place where I am, in that I see myself in there.” Michel Foucault

The use of light and reflection as design elements provide the ability to dematerialize and realize the experience of modern architecture in Puerto Rico.
indoor installation Using light, in the main hall for an interior installation, to reproduce the experience of light on modern architecture in Puerto Rico. This by taking into account that the light of the tropics is different from most nordic countries and therefore the architecture reflects different ways to solve the lighting inside it. Some of the
elements reflected in the installation are the briso-leil, the parapet, shutters and light lanterns. These elements are hallmarks of tropical architecture, although not exclusive, it’s different uses provides diverse experiences.
Outdoor Pavilion
courtyard of MoMA, central and important space in the path and orientation of the glass façades of the museum. Reflecting both, the light that bathes the pavilion as the façades of the museum, creating a contrast of light, reflections and dematerialization in which the visitor is involved.
To achieve dematerialization of the pavilion allegory to modern architecture in Pueto Rico reflection is used, as a means of representation. Architecture thus achieves vanishing to become a quasi-reflection of the light that bathes. This pavilion is located in the

visitor center Carlos Thays Botanical Garden of Buenos Aires Sustentability Workshop Buenos Aires, Argentina
Located in Buenos Aires City, Carlos Thays Botanical Garden have one of the most important botanical collection of Argentina. One of the most important task of the botanical garden it’s the orientation and education about their work and collection. So it’s very important to have a Visitor Center which help in this goal. My proposal is make a critic to the architecture as ephemeral beings in contraposition with the natural environment such as creation of man. Put architecture into crisis with the immediate context thus achieving the original purpose of the visitor center, understand the importance of conservation of species and diversity .The technology to be used

will be reused materials (“cartoneros”, historical context) and recyclable materials (production of soybean production environment). The “cartoneros” are street workers who take from the others people “waste” reusable materials, such as cardboard, glass, metals and others stuff that can be sell or trade. Their collection waste method requires them to be able to move easily along the streets of the city. Concepts as mobility and reuse of materials give rise to the selection of tectonic for this project. Similarly, Argentina is one of the largest producers of soybeans, which is used for the creation of biodegradable materials is also proposed for this project.

HOUSiNG STUDiO iN MEXiCO CiTY Housing Workshop
Mexico DF, Mexico
Housing is an important issue to consider in the understanding ot the city, how it works and develops. Mexico City is one of the most populated urban areas in The Americas with nearly 20 million habitants. This makes Mexico City a good place to study for housing . The study site is along the Avenida Insurgentes, 12 plots were chosen for individual projects and a plot that size would be divided into 2 lots. This lot was the one I chose to do my study in cordination with other classmate. Because of the proximity of both solar teamwork issues were important. Themes as faรงades and common courtyard where part of teamwork. The rest of the tasks of the project were individual according to the needs and regulations allowed.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS
In the Oncologic Hospital of the Puerto Rico Medical Center which is the most important medical facility in Puerto Rico. The main idea was to create two public areas in the building to provide a feeling of alienation, of not being in a hospital, to the patients and families. The first proposed area is chapel like space for meditation and/or to look for spiritual peace: using techniques through direct and indirect lighting, plans that generate different connections between the interior and exterior creating a relaxed ambience alienating the immediate context of the hospital. the second proposed area is a waiting and recovery room for the children receiving cancer treatment (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy). Usually these patients end up staring at the ceiling or at the walls after receiving treatments, the proposal was to use cycloramic plans to provide the visual and inner façade thus creating a feeling of fantasy and illusion.

This leads to understand the site a meeting point of different activities the place, creating a skin that creates the space for development of them. The “site”of this project is located between the streets Borinquen Santurce,Cayey and Ponce de Leon Ave, a place rich in pedestrian movement, vehicular and the new route of the Tren Urbano Station (Sacred Heart).

theory Censorship as a form of architectural control is reflected in domestic architecture, this sequence through the limited space and pre-established narrative. As part of the research on censorship in the domestic spatiality is to provide a potential case study to test the theory. This is intended by providing different opportunities for habitation within the same complex. The proposed
28
program is transitional housing for homeless people. Through this management model allows the opportunity to have different layers of privacy, space, uses, locations and capacities of the different rooms. Problem: The homogenization of the “possibilities” in contemporary housing space produces and reproduces the sequence and narrative control. In this way not only perpetuates the standard, but also censorship is condemned to diversity.
USOS
ACTIVIDAD DIURNA
SONIDO
ACTIVIDAD NOCTURNA
The way the homeless experience the urban space is very different to the interior domestic spatiality, so is primary to create a transition program and spaces that help in the process of reintegration of these individuals to society. In this experiment also aims to influence in the creation of domestic spaces causing more flexible conceptualizations for users.
Hypothesis: If the homogenization of domestic architectural spatiality promotes censorship, then it must be put on crisis by the rupture of these elements, the sequence and narrative. Summary: The censorship of the house is caused by the homogenization of “options” when it comes to living the domestic space. But this can be shaken by the spatial and morphological disruption of housing, leading to understanding and proposing new ways of seeing the home habitable.

Location: El Barrio Gandúl in Santurce stands in the urban environment by having a large number of support centers for homeless people. La Plaza of this neighborhood is a meeting place for this group as the general public, which is to be used for the strategic location of the program. Intending to open a new sequence towards the integration of rehabilitated individuals. This Capstone Design still in process, this part presented is the second part of three. The third part still on track at the moment this porffolio was presented. So part of this work are part of the final part but not all of it.

is the space an emptiness? Space is the movement, but the emptiness is the possibility.
“Mind, like space, has no foundation. Is not a palpable or solid thing, and it does not do anything. Rather, the Mind is a sign of a specific focal setting being taken on Great Space.” Tulku, Tarthang
RESEARCH PROJECTS
Theorizing the Space Mid Career & Capstone
Academics research as part of visualization, understanding and analisis of architectural elements. Critical analysis is the main goal of these writings, with the intension of creating knowledge through research. Is The Space an Emptiness?, is a Mid Career (third year last trimester) reasearch paper and The Censorship of Living is the last year Capstone Research.
34
Emptiness is a concept that often in architectural discourse coincides with the space, causing an equalization of terms because of its intangible similarity. This research is motivated by different architectural theories about space surrounding the vacuum as a synonym for this. This confusion is apparent that this is resolved, based on the concept of space to define what is a vacuum. Theories will be used and / or definitions of such authors as Dorren Massey, Fernando Espuelas and Bruno Zevi, these being the basis for comparison and research. The subject, time, function and use will be decisive factors in the definition of each term. Also, an analysis of images that support these new concepts are consider, making the creation of knowledge in the field of architecture. As a purpose of this paper, it’s define two meanings (empty space) in order to clarify the qualities of the terms, succeeding in giving new value to the concept of emptiness in architecture as possible, rather than as a lack of content . This can be understood as promoting architectural creations and not the excess of the architectural work.
the censorship of living: The study of censorship in the domestic everyday experience through the sequence and literary narrative. In the opening moments in history, globalization, megacomunications, a Puerto Rico neutered and silenced by censorship international show is sad that we anticipated a decline in the history of democratic freedoms. Clarity Journal, September 2009
The public debate in September 2009 in Puerto Rico by censorship applied to books used in high school led to different branches intellectuals and criticisms of the country to a relentless fight against the eradication of censorship “as meritorious works” . Public disclosure of censorship ago clearly the repression committed but, is it possible to live in the censorship and ignore their presence? Like literary works, architecture is a social construction and therefore human. “Over time, there have been few insisted on linking the written and constructed as momentous gestures long as both acts have an objective related: build worlds” (Jorge Rigau). But that construction is a means of creating worlds implies that all participate in the process. While we could argue that by individualization of the private (housing) have the freedoms necessary to “be “ or “being” where and how we want, that’s where establish a new problem. Censorship as a form or control generates the starting point and approach for analyzing “potential” space in contemporary housing and how (re) produces the control sequence and narrative. In this way not only perpetuates thestandard , but censorship is condemned to the difference.

WORKSHOPS
Le Cabanon & Red Polygons Create spatial and visual tools for a restless piece.
Intervention in Le Corbusier’s minimal housing design, Le Cabanon. The intervention rules allow to change two façades and the interior space to accomodate Alexander calder mobile, Red Polygons, (circa 1950) to best experience of it. The mobile is a playful piece, so I placed it in the main space of Le Cabanon, allowing it to have a role in both interior and landscape views. The intervention of the openings in the cabin revolve around providing different views in which the mobile can be translated as part of the landscape. Therefore provides a more open space with movable furniture to enjoy this piece and their translations from diverse visuals.
