01. The In-Betweem
2nd Year, Design Studio 3: Experience
Segovia, Spain
2023
What is “the in-between”?
The in-between integrates a series of diverse spaces, between clay exhibition areas and workshops for the public Therefore the name of the project, as it works with enclosed and open spaces that follow a sequence established by the site The environment created "in between" all areas simultaneously incites an atmosphere of massivity and delicacy Delicacy comes from the subtle skin of Flexibrick that's designed along a pattern that allows light to go into the construction, and at the same time frames the amazing landscape Likewise, the enclosed concrete spaces give this sense of massiveness in contrast to the lightness of the brick skin
Site Analysis-Transitional Spaces
There is a transition of spaces created by the combinations of elements, such as vegetation, materiality, distribution, and circulation These create a change in the atmosphere of the site that’s also complemented by the difference in elevation of the terrain and of the walls In a way each level has its unique ambient

The in-between creates an atmosphere that plays with massivity and delicacy. This contradiction of atmospheres is engaging and invites people to explore as they feel intrigued by what the building shows They are attracted to how it merges the landscape, exterior areas, and a composition of materials that talks with the context of the construction What is “the in-between”?
02. Intersectional Behaviours
2nd Year, Design Studio 4: Program Segovia, Spain
2024
Intersectional Behaviours
The project aims to build a new IE Segovia Campus through the lens of intersectional behavior This arises from the research on how spaces in universities are always intertwined between them, and behaviors in the are always collapsing into each The question is how to produce these areas that allow the intersectional behaviors?

03. Under the Drape
3rd Year, Design Studio 5: Technique (Collaborative)
Segovia, Spain
2024 (ongoing)
Under the Drape
Collaboration with Hermès based on the Saut Hermès event at the Grand Palais. Developing a Pony Club with a nomadic architecture that needs to travel the world and be adaptable to any site. Under the Drape focuses on the voids (the spaces in between), it is about creating a new catalog of programs for adults and children, between the existing programs that were given to us Thus, our strategy is to maximize the space with a system that is completely adaptable to any site, that is quick assembly and creates new programs that are necessary for a Pony Club
To accommodate the existing program and create the voids we focused on building an urban fabric: streets, plazas, highways, corridors, etc. were our main inspiration to build a “city” for the Pony Club.
Technique
The technique focuses on an easy assembly module that has a standardized measurement and that is connected by L-shape steel connectors that allow addition and adaptability at any side possible From every side of the unit, a modular fabric system working as a roof is covering (or not) every void to create the space in between, and the new programs

Visualizations
Day vs Night experience of the Pony Club The space is enclosed during the night and totally open during the day, this is possible because of our modular fabric system
Cross Section 3 1:100
The Modular fabric system creates the new programs for children and adults, in this way, they can enjoy riding a pony while playing and learning about the brand and their craftsmanship
04. IE Campus Underscope
1st Year, Graphic Communication I Handrawing 2022
Axonometric
Explored a part of our campus through the use of axonometric hand-drawn drawings. Focused on materiality and roof composition and explored layers of ground and building structure.

05. Segovian Tiles Study
2nd Year, Design Studio 3: Experience
Drawing, AutoCad
Exploded Axonometric
Studying the traditional Segovian tiles that are embedded in their culture and architectural practice when designing the city, they can be easily identified for their upsidedown position leading to form “channels”. The channels help with snow and water flow, making its movement more efficient, it avoids the formation of nests, and decreases the loads applied on the roof

Exploded Axonometric
Alternative reality of the Matadero, Madrid, based on the concept of Instant City, by Archigram. Combination of freehand drawing, perspective drawing, paraline drawing, color theory, and digital techniques, to produce a presentation board with a clear narrative structure that brings the issue of the arise of the metropolis in our society
