School of dance & music in Cartagena Located in front of the Santo Domingo bastion, this building seeks to integrate harmoniously with the context. with an area of 5500 m2, the building seeks to be the stage for those who walk by the great wall and also for those users who walk at the street level. this is possible placing the dance and music rooms at the second floor following the bastion level. Also, in the first floor there is a cultural store, the art gallery, a multipurpose room and a theatre.
location
The project is located in front of the Santo Domingo bastion. Therefore, is necessary to provide public space and walkability by giving priority to pedestrians in the main roads
pedestrianization
The roads inside the walled city are distinguished for being narrow and they used to be only for pedestrians. Therefore, the masterplan tries to eliminate the vehicles circulation and bring back the features the city used to have.
vehicular circuit
The idea is to bring a specific route for vehicles and let pedestrians to walk around the city and also create a great connectivity between public spaces and parks

Pima County and the city of Tucson have developed proactive measures to preserve the Sonoran Desert Ecology. The naturally vegetated watercourses in Tucson have been classified under the Tucson Storm water Management Study (TSMS). This study looked at the correlation vegetative volume and wildlife habitats, resulting in the creation of four vegetative mass classifications. The project is located near the Santa Cruz River. This portion of the river is classified as Xeroriparian High, trees and shrubs are closely spaced. Most streams of the upper Santa Cruz basin are categorized as ephemeral streams, which are subject to extended dry periods. Flow in the streams occurs at times of significant rainfalls. Flooding of the Santa Cruz river has occurred when capacity have exceeded the peak flows/ discharge levels great than 60,000/ cfs (regulation) in September 1887 - December 1914 - October 1983

Kaleidoscope park the masterplan in this project follows the “access for all philosophy� which requires a new statement and a change of consciousness far away from the common ideas in architecture design It is important to know that spaces cannot be separated from its environment or the way they can be accessed. the experience of the user is always influenced by the space and viceversa. If the trip is diffcicult and painful, then the space will be perceived as inhospitable or, alternatively, as a place of refuge
The project is set in the olympic complex in Berlin , Germany. the project is focused on the access for all kind of people but specially in those with some type of disability. therefore, the main goal is to stimulate the senses specially sight and hearing creating kaleidoscope pavillions that reflects the environment. Also, the nuber of pavillions in the area are based on the deaths of the soldiers that participated in the Second World War. the soldiers came from 7 countries and the nationality of 8 of them are unknown. United kingdom: 2680 Canada: 527 Australia: 223 New Zealand: 56 Southafrica: 31 India: 50 Poland: 5 Unknown: 8 Total: 3580
Taking into account the history context, 8 pavillions are designing representing the number of soldiers involved in the war. Inside the pavillions an audiovisual exposition is proposed where the projects reflect images on the dodecahedra, serving as a kaleidoscope where the users will perceive distorted images with abstract figures that will pretend to stimulate the subconscient. On the other hand, the reflection in the mirrors with the exterior environment will produce a camouflage effect with the intention to play with the senses of the users.
