ISLAND TECTONICS REVITALIZING GOOSE ISLAND. DETOXING CHICAGO RIVER -[2018] GRADUATE SCHOOL | SOM CLOUD STUDIO - MASTER PLAN - 2018- ROLE: PROJECT DESIGNER
Goose Island is the only place in Chicago where to river branches meet. And so it has the potencial to utilize these branches to generate a new way of canalizing the water through the city. The aim of this project is to generate sustainable solutions that will bring a new identity to Goose Island and at the same time making it a place of destination within the City of Chicago. The West branch of the River is broken into differentes canales to bring water to naturally to the different places inside the island and create a more pedestrian friendly place. At the same time generating more public spaces.
GOOSE ISLAND EXISTING CONDITIONS. The site lacks on mainly three conditions that become the potential design proposal: lack of open public space, density within the island as well as diversity in land use. The island consists mainly of warehouses and abandoned buildigs, lacks of pedestrian paths and has the potential of having two river branches stitching west and east.
PROPOSAL .RIVER EAST BRANCH CRACK & ISLAND TECTONICS The proposal consists on using the current site conditions that are lacking there: Bringing more density to the site, using different type of builiding uses and creating new recreational and oublic spaces towards the creation of a new east river branch as a main architectural and pedestrian axis in the site: an island tectonics.
PROPOSAL .CREATING DENSITY & LANDSCAPE INTEGRATION Using the east river branch as the new axis gives the possibility of creating a new grid within the island, taking this grid to transform new architectural pieces and creating a new sense of place and neighborhoood .
PROPOSAL. ARCHITECTURAL DIVERSITY With the new architectural grid, new land uses emerge to bring vibrancy to the neighborhood. The aim is to create a live-work place where with commercial activity on the two main strees, creating a corridor with restaurants and shopping activity, leaving cultural spaces parallel to the river walk and to the public spaces.

3. CREATING LAND USE DIVERSITY
Breaking the river allows the site to generate more pedestrian connectivy and interaction between the buildings and soroundings.
Merging the river with the landscape features allow it to be more sustainable and permeable as well as generating more recreational activities.
Land use diversity allow different type of users to use the site in different ways, thus, being more active and vibrant all day and night during the year.
GOOSE ISLAND NEW MASTER PLAN. GENERATING A NEW GRID AND ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY. A new grid is proposed in thw whole Island having the new river as the main pedestrian axis. The aim is the river to be filtered in most of the island and create a river walk parallel to it. The Grid doesn´t follor the traditional Chicago grid with the main objective of breaking the predominant winds in the winter and creating shadows/shelter with the new building canyons.

TRANSITIONAL TERRITORIES PAKISTAN 2020. MODERNITY & TRADITION PAVILION THE ISLAMABAD-RAWALPINDI ARCHITECTURE EXPO 2020 ARCHITECTURE & URBANISM RESEARCH - CULTURAL /PUBLIC SPACE/ URBANISM - ROLE: PROJECT DESIGNER/DEVELOPER
Pakistan is a country characterized by its traditions derived from religious practices and for its short but rich post-independence history after 1947. Since then, there has been an evolution in infrastructure in certain cities of the country while others have fallen behind in an economic and social stagnation. The idea that modernism has managed to cross any barriers imposed by time, even breaking some of the traditions of some nations, leads to develop a deep investigation about how a country full of traditions – as in the case of Pakistan has been penetrated by modernism and innovative designs.
Pakistan is the country with the most significant influence in the Islamic world. It is expected that by the year 2020, the country has a greater amount of modern buildings than ancient ones. Therefore, the theme of the 2020 pavilion is Tradition and Modernism. The Central Exhibition Building reflects the reality of the fusion of the Islam with the artistic modernism.

MODERNITY & TRADITION THE EXPO 2020 OF PAKISTAN. THE RAWALPINDI VS. ISLAMABAD EXHIBITION The project Tradition and Modernity has to be conceived in a city with world class infrastructure that can accommodate local and international masses and it is not prone to floods or violence. Fifty years divide/separate/distinguish the first capital of Pakistan with the current one in traditions and infrastructure. Islamabad is home to modern and diplomatic buildings, reflecting a modern invasion in a country impregnated of traditions. In contrast, Rawalpindi gathers the Islamic culture and traditions in all their splendor. Tradition and Modernity. Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

ISLAMABAD > INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS Islamabad “the city of Islam� is the capital of Pakistan and the greenest city of the country. The remarkable structure and organization of Islamabad has granted a fast economic growth and has permitted to control the fast demographic growth. Despite of being one of the most populated cities in the country, the reticulated urban layout by sectors with the neat planning of the streets facilitates the traffic circulation. Islamabad exhibits impressive modern monuments. For instance, the Faisal Mosque and the Fatima Jinnah Park, the largest mosque and public park in Pakistan.

TOWN CENTER QUERETARO CREATING A VERNACULAR ICON COMPETITION - MASTER PLAN/ MIXED USE - 2013 - ROLE: PROJECT DESIGNER
Queretaro’s city landscape consists in hills and streams that display rock formations that have been shaped through the years. The master plan of the mixed-use complex recognizes the natural landscape allocating lots and streets away from the streams. The accessibility strategy focus on the creation of pathways through the open spaces parallel to the buildings. The lower levels of the buildings are conceived for commercial use to foster the dyna ics of mobility of both, pedestrians and bicycles.
Due to the isolation between the university campus and residential zone of Queretaro, the project is intended to be the epicenter of the site shortening the distances between the existing communities. In addition, the complex provides new recreational spaces for residents and students and stands out for its architecture and vernacular landscape present in all the sphere of the project.

CLOUD MARKET REINVENTING CHICAGO’S FARMER´S MARKET AND PUBLIC LIBRARY GRADUATE SCHOOL - INSTITUTIONAL - 2017- ROLE: PROJECT DESIGNER
The Cloud Market & Public Library aims to create an hybrid building combining both the motion and color of a market and a place of gathering knowledge and focus of a library. The project is located on the South of the neighborhood and is a natural connector between 31st street and Gropious Plaza in the North. It also connects the Train stations with the commercial area on the west of the neighborhood.
The project materiality consists of a ETFE facade to give a total sense of transparency to the exterior while the 3x3 inches steel structure allows the free circulation of the people inside the market. The ETFE facade allows natural lighting while the natural R-value is much efficient in terms of insulation than a glass facade. The concrete floor is sorounded by green areas that decrese heat concentration inside the market while wood deck is used for terraces.
[FARMER´S MARKET & PUBLIC LIBRARY] The new Market Place and Public Library from Bronzeville consists on a public building that can be accessed from either North, South, East or West side of the Neighborhood. The main idea of the architectural concept is to create a porous building with enough transparency to connect the four areas of the Neighborhood: Train Station, Commercial Area, Gropious Plaza and 31st Street.
1. SITE AS A CONNECTOR
The site is a natural connector between the south and the north part of the neighborhood, as well as east-west axis..
The two main axis for circulation go from 31st street to Gropious Plaza and from the Train Station to the commercial area of the neighborhood.

The scaffolding structure with the ETFE on the facade bring transparency to the building and a sense of timeless architecture and a landmark.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN
Variety of market places are located on the ground floor. Four different kind of market place provide food or raw material for the habitant and visitor. And also we consider the temporary and permanently market. In case of the temporary market place, it opens on weekend and they come from the making place for selling their products. Mid part in our market, they have small promenade.

CLOUD MARKET & PUBLIC LIBRARY The building creates a visual connectivity from 31st street to the north side of the neighborhood. The buffer that is created between Gropious Plaza and the Market Place leaves an open space that becomes a public plaza from visitors and residents from the neighborhood. Visitors that come to the neighborhood arriving from south side and go to the commercial area have this building as the main landmark for orientation within the neighborhood. The building becomes an analogy of a sponge or coral that wants to absorb people inside it and then releasing them in other parts of the neighborhood as a portal from north to south and east to west.

3RD & SPRING VERTICAL CIRCUIT -[2018] CIRCUIT BUILDING - 2018 - ROLE: EXTERIOR DESIGNER - PROJECT BY SOLOMON CORDWELL BUENZ
Located in the intersection of 3rd street and Spring street in Atlanta, the project consists of a 28 - story residential and commercial ground floor. Located in front of Georgia Technology University, the project design intent is to create a dialogue with the campus and attract the students from this University.
The concept of the envelope is to create a circuit board like pattern, where the white strip wraps the gray one and the glass window wall will take over at some areas to break with the eifs pattern. Amenities are proposed right over the podium and at the penthouse to maximize the views to the city.

3RD & SPRING
CONCEPT: CIRCUIT BOARD The concept of the project is based on a circuit board abstraction since the project is in the Technology Campus of Georgia Technology University. The outside circuits become the paths to get the people into the building.
CONNECTING CIRCUITS With the abstraction of the circuits we get a pattern of lines that interconnect between them giving the massing a texture and creating a unique architectural feature in the campus. We break the pattern with window wall spaces to accentuate the amenities of the building and create some interruption of the pattern.

BUNKER MEXICO´S GOVERNMENT ARCHITECTURAL PROTOTYPE GOVERNMENT/INSTITUTIONAL - 2015 - ROLE: PROJECT DESIGNER- PROJECT BY: LUIS PABLO DEL RINCON
In Mexico, government buildings are characterized by their austere architectural design without identity, besides they do not show a picture or powerful seal that would make them stand out in the middle of context. The architecture has the power to mold a personality in the building and in the case of government buildings in Mexico, that personality is null. Public security buildings in Mexico do not have suitable characteristics to meet the needs of public order. "Bunker" tries to be a new model of public safety building in Mexico, impose a new personality in context and to generate a strong sense of nationalism among Mexicans.
The landscape is another issue neglected by buildings of this type. Generating green plazas would help to create social interactions where people from the different neighborhoods can become familiar with the new building and create a sense of protection and shelter by this new architectural prototype aiming for molding a guardian within the streets and the neighborhoods of Mexico.
1. PLOT SITE
2. PROGRAM VOLUME
The site is located between two side streets in a residential area of low density (2 levels) with commercial use in the lower levels . The land consists of 6,500 square meters for the project development.
The volume seeks to have views from the two parallel streets to the ground to create visual shots from all points of view of the pedestrians and create a neighborhood icon whoch can be seen from everywhere within the area.
3. SOLID WALLS
4. ACCESIBILITY/ OPENINGS
The generation of the interior plaza goes from the role and vocation of the project. An internal operation which is contained by an outer wall that protects the interior of the project is required. A bunker able to look its sorroundings outside and protect the interior starts shaping following the its own architectural function.
Once created the walls, the building requires openings with the potential to invite pedestrians to access the building. The bunker is divided into two forms, one that addresses the citizens functions and requests and the other internal one controling the private and monitoring functions.
5. MONUMENTALITY The building itself shapes their driveways on the sides of the buidling to create in the center of the project a plaza and green areas for the citizens of the district. The staircase gives a character of monumentality and solidity to the building, making it stand out in scale from the rest of the buildings of the neighborhood.
6. BUNKER The project does become a neighborhood icon highlighting from the rest ofthe others. Due to the generation of plazas and green areas, citizens can also be sheltered in a recreational space as well as feeling protected by the bunker, their new neighborhood and city guardian.

AMERICAN TOWER INTERIOR CORPORATE MEXICO CITY ARCHITECTURE INTERCONNECTED BETWEEN LINES -[2013] INTERIOR DESIGN ARCHITECTURE/ COPORATE DESIGN - 2013 - ROLE: PROJECT DESIGNER - PROJECT BY: SPACE MEXICO
The inspiration of this project comes from the idea of materializing the antennas that the firm produces. American Tower is a company that dedicates to the production of antenna towers for telecommunications and that is where architecture needs to meet with this communication system of cables.
The project was designed in two levels in around 3,400 sqm of interior offices plus 900 sqm of outdoor terraces. The use of the branding showing the company colors and the geometry of the antennas evokes the industrial space creating an atmosphere with an interesting play of dynamical architectural forms.

The diagonal paths of the outside composed with different landing zones allow the workers to interact outdoor and also gives the company a place to create social events for their guests in a natural landscaped place.

MICHIGAN STUDENT HOUSING CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT -[2020] STUDENT HOUSING - 2020 - ROLE: ENVELOPE DESIGNER - PROJECT BY: SOLOMON CORDWELL BUENZ
The planned development for approximately 2,400 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students capitalizes on the unique existing characteritics of the project site while transforming the overall northern housing into a “village� development supported by a dining facility with 1,200 seats, a 300 seat multi-purpose / ballroom, residential amenities, support spaces, and flexible academic makerspaces to encourage student engagement and convenient extended academic opportunities.
The site design provides bike routes and bike infrastructure (parking, service, etc.) to make biking to campus and retail easier for the residents. Parking lots are located in close proximity to graduate housing yet are more remote for undergraduate student housing. Walking and jogging paths, bike paths, transit, and shuttle bus stop locations are fully integrated into the site plan and coordinated with the larger campus infrastructure.

SITE PLAN & NARRATIVE The site is arranged into civic and residential areas. A variety of ground level and outdoor environments are designed to support campus and residential student activities. The organization of the site can be defined with zones articulated with program adjacencies, unique landscaping, and building masses. Further definition of these zones reveals site planning strategies that reinforce the village concept and residential aesthetic. Part of the site is reserved for flexible future development. The corner site at Plymouth Road and Murfin Avenue is the north vehicular entry to the University of Michigan Campus and a campus gateway. Additional dialogue with the University is needed to identify desired uses with potential utilization as retail development, enhanced gateway, pocket park, landing area for improved Plymouth Road crossing with additional green space use for village that could be passive or active fields (soccer/ Frisbee / baseball / football/ etc.), additional parking, and/or additional residential

EXTERIOR ENVELOPE DESIGN INTENT To break the brick massing in the project, some metal and glass corners are introduced to give some contrast and nodes to the project. At the same time, to different facade types are proposed: street facing and courtyard facing. This is with the intent of giving a more institutional chracter facing the street and a residential one in the interior.
STREET FACING PATTERN The street facinf facades consist of a more institutional and somehow rigid pattern to give a more neutral feeling to the exterior and reflecting the institutional character of the project.
COURTYARD FACING PATTERN The courtyards facing facades consist of a more playful facade. The design intent is to bring a more residential feeling to the courtyards and create a warmer feeling breaking the scale of the horizontal brick masses. The metal panels bring more of a vertical pattern and rythm to the facade while maintaining the same textures.

ENCLOSURE SYSTEMS With continuous insulation in the wall and avoid thermal bridging between the aluminum wall and the brick wall, the base of the system consists of brick face wall with a structure of gypsum sheathing. For the street face facade, most of the envelope consist of face brick wall and make some small aluminum wall interventions to break the horizontality of the facade.
For the ground floor it is proposed to be a very transparent glass facade to create a clean and clear entry and to serve as a base condition for the brick. For the amenity spaces some aluminum color fins are introduced to give a little of special moments to the facade and give some more playfulness to the composition. Stone is used for the window head and sill system. Window wall is used to create some vertical lines wherever we have lounges spaces and stair areas to maximize the use of natural light into the space.
