RESPOKEN

LOCATION: London TYPE OF WORK: Academic TEAM: Yong Won Choi and Ricardo Adrian Lopez Gutierrez DESCRIPTION: Is there music behind the way we speak? Respoken is an interactive installation that creates an experience from the user’s voice. A stage for self-expression and an invitation for intimacy manifesting the spirit in light and sound. The installation makes music from the way in which the user speaks, capturing the distinct tone, pitch fluctuations, rhythm, and timbre of our voices to create a symphony from vocal expression. Users can record speech over a microphone and listen to their words become music, in synchrony with light evolving around sound. Yet the experience is only as good as the story shared. The installation provides an opportunity to recall the experiences that shape our identity and vocalize them to listen to the music behind our words. Our respective memories are infused with personal meaning, and the way we express them carry the potential to create a personal soundtrack. The user’s individual expressiveness becomes the key and structure for personalized music; thus, every interaction is unique. The emitted sound and light interaction will depend on the content and length of the original recording. The repeated audio will mirror the length of the original input, but the sound will be completely different. PROJECT DATE: Autumn 2021 SUPERVISOR: Paul Bavister

REMINISCENT-2

LOCATION: London TYPE OF WORK: Academic TEAM: Yong Won Choi and Ricardo Adrian Lopez Gutierrez DESCRIPTION: Every time we remember a memory it is decompressed, only to then be re-stored differently; forever modifying the content of the original memory. Through space, sound, and light, Reminiscent-2 explores how we can create an experience out of the events kept in the recent memory of an audience. Memories can be recorded in audio by speaking into the microphone. Immediately after, the recording will begin looping and change gradually on every loop; just as we distort our memories on every nostalgic act. In a beginning the repeated audio will be very similar to the original memory but will slowly become something completely different. Blinking lights in the installation signal the presence of a new stored memory, and light color and brightness will change in synchrony with sound as the distortion cycle progresses. We invite the audience to share their memories, thoughts, expressions, and sounds with us. None of the words communicated are stored beyond the immediacy of interaction.

BEATFLOW

LOCATION: London TYPE OF WORK: Academic TEAM: Ricardo Adrian Lopez Gutierrez DESCRIPTION: Beatflow is an interactive music visualizer. An audiovisual performance where one can modify the flow of music. Users can speed up or speed down audio, as well as intensify or decrease the sound sensitivity values to dramatically alter presented visuals. Stretch, bend, and move graphics by moving the mouse position on the canvas. The platform has the ability to interact with 6 pre-selected tracks, each with a predefined visual that may evolve through chosen parameters in the user interface. Black user interface includes a button to play, pause, and stop the music. Clicking on the “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, or “5” buttons begin music interaction. Each button option presents a different song with a unique visual. In the grey user interface, the “imageBackgroundOptions” dropdown menu allows users to switch between three different background images. Using the “imageFilter” dropdown menu enables users to toggle between four different image filters to modify present background. The “blend” and “mix” image filters respond to the mouse position on the canvas. Activating the frequency meter displays the frequency level of bass and high mid ranges embedded in the music.

2. Foundations Underneath the vertices of every hexagon wall lied a structural support point to consider.

3. Structure Recycling The new structure arises for the same support points.

4. New Structure Four double masonry walls become the structure of the whole project. Allowing maximum spatial amplitude.

5. Patio A patio located in the center of the project becomes the unifying principle across floors and different levels.

6. Space The architectural agenda becomes contained by the four structural walls.

L13 House Roof Structure The structural design of the roof was a matter of particular interest to me. Arch. Benjamin Romano had the original idea of a split roof from the start and drew the initial structural proposal. I took this concept from idea to reality. The drawn trusses below are the main pieces that hold the roof structure together. Following the structural engineer recommendations, I located these elements were it was most convenient for the general design of the house. Further on, I continued adding elements as became necessary to achieve desired aesthetics and proper functionality.

LOCATION: Mexico City, Mexico TYPE OF WORK: Professional TEAM: Benjamin Romano, Olga Romano, Jesus Hidalgo, Ricardo Adrian Lopez, Melizza Jimenez, Cristopher Ramirez, VAMISA (structure), L+F (lighting) ROLE IN PROCESS: ROLE IN THE PROCESS: I took on this project at a mature design stage, once the architectural concept had already been developed by Arch. Benjamin Romano; the initial spatial layout had already been drawn by other members of LBR&A. Nevertheless, as I progressed in developing the detail of the project, most of the initial spaces were radically transformed. As project leader, my job was to coordinate a team of architects to be able to transition the house from idea to reality. While advancing the project, I carried out multiple design interventions to meet budget requests from the client and suggested plausible structural solutions for constructive details. EXACT CONTRIBUTION: Spatial layout adjustments, development of construction details, architectural design coordination, interior design, furniture design, structural design coordination, lighting design coordination, and MEP systems coordination.

Design Concept Taking into consideration the heavily sloped terrain, the idea behind the house was to place all architectural agenda in two boxes contained within a set of frames. Emphasizing visual lightness and creating “flying” spaces.

07 RESIDENCIA BOSQUE REAL - ARCHITECTURE

Bosque Real House Structural Criteria The house stands on a set of 9 visually similar frames. Each consisting of custom made trusses built by commercial steel angles. Every truss column holds floor slabs at different levels, thus different variations of columns are generated to satisfy architectural agenda.

TOPOGRAPHIC SUTURE

LOCATION: Mexico City, Mexico TYPE OF WORK: Academic TEAM: Dinorah Martinez and Ricardo Adrian Lopez PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Basin of Mexico, this is the name given to the region of four valleys in the central part of the Mexican territory, which not only contains Mexico City but also other federal states. To study it properly distinct binomials that create city were assigned: water, landscape, urban and infrastructure. Our project studies the binomial of water and landscape, understanding the effect of the ever-growing metropoli against what used to be the dominant natural environment. Numerous zooms were made in search of the critical point of that binomial, which turned out to be the heart of the Basin of Mexico, what was once known as the great Lake Texcoco. EXACT CONTRIBUTION: Urban context analysis, concept design, 3d modeling, architectural visualization, architectural space layout, structural model, roof geometry, facade design, structural and MEP criteria of project. PROJECT LEVEL: Thesis Project (9th -10th Semester of Bachelor´s in Architecture) PROJECT DATE: Autumn 2015 - Spring 2016 SUPERVISOR: Diego Ricalde

The Basin of Mexico and the possibility of recovering Mexico´s forgotten Lake Texcoco

Water and landscape critical point in the Basin of Mexico 46 85

How can we recover Mexico City´s rich water and landscape origins while respecting the existing urban context?

Basin´s Landscape

In colonial times rivers were sent underground and lakes began to be drained; the sinking of the city and floods are a consequence of those actions, problems that consume Mexico City today. Neither the city nor the Basin of Mexico are auto sufficient; and it is ironic that a region shaped to contain a great body of water has to bring it from other hydrologic systems; that the lowest point of the basin is not covered by rainwater which instead of being stored, is ejected from the territory. Through an urban proposal and later an architectural proposal, we address all these factors from the macro scale and reflect them on a micro scale.

Basin´s Water

Mexico City has grown disproportionately eliminating its connections with the natural environment. We believe that to amend this, the territory should answer to its topographic vocation where natural systems correspond to the heights of the land. In today´s context it is impossible to go back to depending on only one great lake. Because of this we seek to divide the magnitude of this lake in various fragments that adapt to the contemporary infrastructure. The project strives for a topographic suture of the surroundings of Lake Texcoco. If we join the sites of water with the sites of landscape we can have a suture, weaving the programmatic axis of the city with the natural axis of the basin which is its natural drain, the sewage of Mexico City. Naturally, the high points of the basin are where landscape emerges and the low points are where water accumulates.

Basin´s Sinking

Basin´s Flooding

The project strategy places the ecologic as its first hierarchy, followed by the urban and finally the architectural. The essential action is to regenerate a withering landscape. Because of the absence of an immediate urban context we use topography as a means of order, where the same natural trend of the basin is replicated in order to be able to reconfigure the terrain. We elaborate a network of high points which is where we can build, and another network of low points which become bodies of water. The places where these two meet become areas for mangroves and natural reserves. At the ecological level, the project proposes to heal the territory with a 30 year plan of habitat restoration, and recovery of water bodies. At the urban level, the project proposes a solution of four sectors, where the program corresponds to the terrain that now lies divided by its own infrastructure. The first zone is assigned to environmental regeneration, the second to energy production, a product of the bio-gas stored in the trash of the Bordo Poniente, the third to the conservation of great bodies of water that already treat it, and the fourth zone is directed to the New International Airport for Mexico City, complemented by airport hotels and car rental services.

08 TOPOGRAPHIC SUTURE - URBANISM/ARCHITECTURE

At the architectural level the four zones are sutured by a train station, which purpose is to link the city with the new natural paradise as with the new airport. Its geometric form enables multiple connections with the site, and its composition follows high points and low points to juxtapose water and landscape in its architecture at multiple levels. The building further-develops site renewal; it is the final piece to solving the problem of frontier and to healing the critical point of water and landscape. A suture is a stich which purpose is to unite again what was separated or damaged. It is only through a new connection to the city between the old and the new, that we are able to rethink metropoli through a perspective of water and landscape.

09 BEAUVAIS OBSERVATORY LOCATION: Beauvais, France TYPE OF WORK: Academic TEAM: Silvia Lucchetta and Ricardo Adrian Lopez PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Re-imagining possibilities within Beauvais Cathedral, our project questions the present structure. What if a column is not only a column? A column thought as stairs, as void, as inhabitable space, as vertical arrangement of elements. In this circumstance, as an inhabitable telescope that brings the macro scale within the cathedral, a parasite element that derives from the original geometries present in Beauvais Cathedral. Following a metaphorical way of bringing the heavens to the people, the project is developed as an astronomical observatory. An opportunity for the continuation of science, presented as a facility for education rather than private and conventional scientific research. EXACT CONTRIBUTION: Model-making, 3d modelling in Rhino and Grasshopper, concept design and schematic design of stair development.

The analysis focuses on the construction lines behind the cross sections of the columns. Some basic geometrical relationships can be recognized in all the examples despite their different styles. The same parametric definition was used for the columns belonging to the same style.

Type The analysis focuses on the construction linesH - 1515-1520s behind the cross section of column H, one of the most recent types of columns found in Beauvais. The design of the column, as well as of its smaller version H’, can be deducted by a series of tangent circles.

The analysis focuses on the construction lines Type H’ - 1515-1520s behind the cross section of column G, one of the oldest types of columns found in Beauvais. The design of the column can be deducted by a polar array of squares ending up alternatively with circles of different sizes.

The stairs study takes into account the variability in the form of the column, indicating a prefabricated system as the constructive system.
