ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

Wineries are one of the biggest attractions in the State of California. The first vines were introduced in the valley in the mid-late 19th century and from then it has produced some of the finest wines around the world.

For my final project as a senior, I teamed up with Meng Li to produce the preliminary design of this hypothetical winery surrounded by vineyards and greenery.

MARIO RODRIGUEZ

ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

Most of the building is under the ground, which serves as a thermal mass that keeps the spaces at a constant temperature, saving energy.

In order to mantain the SO2 levels, wine needs to age at a constant 55-60°F temperature; the ground mass helps to mantain this temperature, whether in winter or summer.

TOP. Perspective section that shows the fermentation tanks and the catwalks above. Grapes are delivered on the roof, where the crash pad is located, then grapes are dropped into the tanks ( in a gravitiy fed process).

Maverik service stations are all around the west. They use various prototype stores, depending on the location.

With the assistance of one more RE TA L drafter, we modeled the convenience Istore and the canopy with the gas tanks. We put together a full set of drawings which is still being used, as FFKR is responsible of 10 or more of these stores being built at a time.

Every time a new store is going to be built, a new set of drawings is prepared using the one we did, adapting it to the new location.

MARIO RODRIGUEZ

ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO

An hour north of Salt Lake City, Ogden Canyon opens up to give way to Huntsville where the Holy Trinity Abbey was built in 1947. We were tasked with developing a hypothetical design of a new retreat center that would include all the religions. This consisted of a preliminary study of religions and the creation of a sculptural reliquary. The concept for this project is rebirth through humanity’s common source, light.
