This Capstone project addresses the issues of social exclusion affecting people in the LGBTTQ+ community. It identifies several of the problems and needs that this community faces, such as accessibility to a safe home, education, safe work and other essential services. The LGBTTQ+ Hub is a mixed use building located in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico that seeks to integrate the communities, while providing a safe space for the people of the studied community. The proposal program consists of a shelter, housing, cultural and educational spaces. Also, it provides medical spaces for all communities, but especially for the queer community. The purpose of the project is to seek inclusion and educate everyone about the LGBTTQ+ community and other communities that are affected by social exclusion.

HISTORIC CENTER: DOCUMENTATION AND DIAGNOSIS | 2020
A simple and clean design was requested for this book. Its function is to collect all the damage that could be seen in the façades after the earthquakes of January 2020. It was fi lled out by students from three second-year design sections of the School of Architecture and Design, RHC . Likewise, it was used as a guide for the third and fourth year books of the same school. The book belongs to the aforementioned entity.
ARAD 202: PRE-DESIGN PHASE | 2020
As a requirement of the design class, I was asked to design a book that compiled all the historical information of the municipality [Ponce, Puerto Rico] and the historic house to be impacted, the municipal regulations, building codes, ADA codes, and design strategy. For the design, the facade of the existing house on the project site is taken and used in different ways throughout the book. In the same way, several colors are chosen to differentiate the different themes.
