Ezequiel Duarte is an individual with a profound appreciation for the arts, having cultivated a passion for creative expression across diverse mediums since early childhood. The discipline of architecture serves as a path for my eagerness to explore innovative forms, fostering a commitment to continuous learning in both creative pursuits and the application of critical reasoning within the realm of design.

MT WILSON RETREAT
PROJECT YEAR: Academic Semester V
TYPE: Science Retreat
LOCATION: Mt Wilson Observatory, California
SOFTWARE: Rhino, Lumion, Photoshop
The Mt. Wilson Retreat studio project faced several challenges, including the structure, program, and the overall integration with the surrounding environment. The building was designed with the goal of meeting the needs of the scientists who would primarily occupy it.
To address these conditions, careful consideration was given to the placement of each room, along with the inclusion of operable louvers to provide natural shading. Each living area was also designed to offer unique and interesting views. The massing was thoughtfully planned to minimize square footage while encouraging natural interaction and communication among the building’s occupants.
By implementing a load tracing exercise, is that the placement of sheer strucutre, as well as truss systems were implemented. As well as knowing structural depth and length of memebers.
Finalized Massing
The Finalized massing represents the use of cantilevers as well as shading strategies, such as operable louvers that help distribute the sunlight throughout the buiding in areas where light is needed

The central circulation serves as a means of fostering communication and interaction among residents. By placing the rooms at each corner, privacy is maintained while still preserving a cohesive design language throughout the building.
The central circulation continues through the third floor, where the labs and offices are located, ensuring privacy while maintaining a smooth flow throughout the space.

PROJECT YEAR: Academic Semester IV
TYPE: Architecture School
LOCATION: Pomona, California
SOFTWARE: Rhino, Lumion, Photoshop
EX03A and EX03B are based on the iterative processes of EX01 and EX02, which investigated the duality of intimacy and openness. This proposal exhibits a dynamic interplay between spatial configurations: the tower, which houses studio spaces, offers a more controlled setting for student development offers a more controlled setting for student development, while the plinth, which represents civic involvement, gives public accessibility. Spatial layering and height differences provide a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. The relationship between form and function is further shaped by climatic analyses of the sun and wind, which carry over the topics from EX01 and EX02.
Through the brief of excercie 1 dealing with field conditions is what satarted this porject, as this prepared the direction of the concept.
By Taking the field condition from the previous excersice and implenting a two point perspective is that excerisice 2 began Field Condition Ex.
Two Point Perspective Ex. 1 2
Through the site visit I decided to run a climate analysis over the site being Pomona,Ca by implementing these discoveries is that programing and massing could take part in the design

COMMUNITY CENTER
PROJECT YEAR: Academic Semester III
TYPE: Community Center
LOCATION: Leimert Park, California
SOFTWARE: Rhino, V-Ray, Photoshop
Having architectural buildings that can bring these necessary bonding connections is inevitable to have in communities. These buildings aim to prove bonding and opportunity to grow by having elements such as skin envelopes that surround the buildings. Which provides a sense of curiosity, as the facade juxtaposes the park with a modern approach of design.
Furthermore this mesh element creates many important moments within the buildings as it provides diffused lighting that surrounds throughout the majority of the structure. Alongside diffused lighting is the sense that creates apertures which become evident by having such views directly towards Leimert Park.

Building Blocks
Through a seires of exercises were the inital building blocks for his project, seen at the left of the page. By using a program that would allow the most community engagment of the society of Leimert Park.
The objective of this project was to conceive an optimally efficient tiny home catering to the residents and interns associated with Soil Barn Farms in Rancho Cordova, California. Our mandate involves the generation of a comprehensive set of working drawings that articulate our design concepts adeptly.
The challenge lies in the synthesis of a compact dwelling, ensuring the inclusion of all essential amenities for the occupants. Simultaneously, it is imperative to adhere meticulously to the established codes of the City of Sacramento, harmonizing architectural ingenuity with regulatory compliance.

The notion of expressing the desire to learn more through a variety of materials and media can be seen as a reflection of the dynamic and ever-changing nature of creativity and knowledge. Similar to the learning process itself, various materials have distinct textures, qualities, and obstacles that encourage experimentation and discovery.

The meticulous design process found inspiration in the revered De Stijl Art movement. Drawing from its essence, the incorporation of iconic colors—namely, vivid red, deep blue, and vibrant yellow—was a deliberate choice. The amalgamation of these hues, along with a meticulously structured grid-like pattern, culminated in the creation of a design that resonates with the architectural journey of students at Cal Poly Pomona. This design not only captures the essence of our shared experiences but also serves as a visual ode to the profound sense of camaraderie forged within the demanding realm of architectural education.
