the usefulness of the useless What is useful? What is useless? Is there something useless to
nature? Is “sustainable” enough? What is enough?
Creating sustainable and regenerative design is a challenge where every component is essential. The project is situated in Perth, Australia. In this area, Curtin University and the city of Bentley proposed a strategic plan. This creates a Regional Biodiversity corridor from the Canning River foreshore to Kensington Bush forever on Kent Street. The main idea is to create paths between habitats, “the community,” and “nature”. Nature and the community are in contact, like when people leave rubbish on the street, an Ibis finds something to eat or when a Magpie attacks cyclists trying to protect their nest. This proposal wants to create a landmark that can be replicated in empty spaces along the biodiversity corridor. The project uses the useless things from the streets, recycling objects and building structures with parametric design to give nature and community spaces of mutual observation. It’s a place to play and enjoy the colours and the textures of native plants and trees, a place to recognise the usefulness of the useless.

is a conceptual design competition. The proposal responded to the brief, where the application of sustainable and regenerative design techniques was required. The students' national competition encourages critical analysis and abstract thinking.
a walk between trees
The project is in the Regional Biodiversity corridor between The Canning bridge foreshore and Kensington Bush forever on Kent street. The main conceptual idea is to create paths between habitats, "the community and nature", protect the local biodiversity and increase green areas (local trees, native vegetation and biodiversity conservation in general). The project is a hybrid building with public and communal green open spaces, 149 apartments, a pavilion for pop-up activities and a student residence.

paths between habitats Nature in the biodiversity corridor changes and adapts to the context. Pockets of native vegetation decrease in area, and birds struggle to find food in the bush because of the loss of mature trees on the streets. The project wants to increase the native habitat and improve the bonds between the city and the local biodiversity.

This unit aimed to understand the client-architect working process from the first interactions with a potential client. The starting point was exchanging information and queries between the architect and the client, like survey plans, analysing client requirements, first sketches, and comments from the client. The second stage was learning how to interact with the client when it needs changes in the design. This project is changing from an ancillary dwelling for the family’s nanna; one bedroom extension; to a temporary rental place for students or tourists; two bedroom apartment. When the client's design requirements were covered, the next step was to produce all the legal documentation. For instance, the Client-architect agreement, acceptance letter, fee proposal, timesheet schedule, and Naspec documentation. Also, the plans for tendering as the last stage of the design process. Some of the drawings were demolition site plan, site plan of new work, overshadowing site plan, floor plan of the new dwelling, elevations, section, 3D images, materials proposal, sections, floor plans, elevations, roof plan, Reflected ceiling plan, Electrical floor plan, Bathroom & Kitchenette layout and others.

computational design
The unit allowed the exploration of computational design from analysing different examples of parametric structures to the construction in real scale of structural detail. As a personal engagement and understanding of the different parametric design examples, I started with sketching the essential characteristics and components. The next step was constructing the grasshopper script of the structure, first as the original model and later changing particular features to create different iterations of the same project. Groups of codes organised the scripts to keep an understanding of the computational construction.

The second part of the unit was analysing a specific detail from the ICD-ITKE Research Pavilion 2010. The project's objective is to demonstrate the potential of plywood for structural purposes. The piece studied and recreated in this subject helps to join the main structures with various strips; pieces are designed to resist pressures and constraints. The final part of the unit was a hands-on group construction. Every teammate worked on different details for the first part of the unit, in this last part was a teamwork decision worked on the ITKE Pavilion. After generating the script and the pieces, each was laser-cut and built in the university workshop. The main aim of this unit was the complete understanding of computational design from its conception to its actual construction.

tinny&tucker Ave.
This temporary design wants to generate new city dynamics for families and young adults, encouraging their engagement with the neighbourhood and the Neerabup National Park. The project consists of a pop-up market and beer garden. The market offers fresh seasonal products from local producers. The temporary beer garden is a family-friendly festival that offers activities and specialised products from local businesses, such as beverages, prepared meals, butchery products, etc. The design wants to consider some essential strategies: All the spaces are thought to be inclusive, permitting community events while keeping social distancing. Renovation of places that could be used at any time and for various activities. Furniture priorities eco-friendly ideas, which are easy and accessible to build. The proposal wants to share a creative design with the Clarkson community to inspire them to imagine a new city. Why Tinny&Tucker Ave.? It's a combination of two Australian slang. It is thinking to create a name that is easy to remember and connected with the country's culture. Tinny: Any beverage, especially beer. Tucker: any food or meal. This term is commonly used to name food found in Australian nature, like bush tucker. The addition of "Avenue" supports the nature of the project, which creates a new avenue full of uses and vitality in the city of Clarkson.

Pedestrian circulation The cafe desperately needs more shade and outdoor seating to make it a more attractive place to visit. There are so many mums with babies in this area who would love a relaxing cafe in walking distance to meet up with other mums and enjoy a coffee. It’s difficult to tell if it’s actually open most days. Maybe if the windows were changed so they opened up and you could see inside - with bench seating and stools so you can see people eating and drinking - it might be more welcoming.

This area is too bright in the morning with the morning sun so extra shading and seating would be great. There are also lots of us with dogs who love to walk and get a coffee. So outside shaded seating would be great.

The last three train stations in the Joondalup/Butler train service are Currambine, Clarkson and Butler. These stations are near Neerabup National park. Even though the only station that could directly link with the Park is Clarkson, this does not have access to this green area Design thinking approach Public spaces are composed of many layers, and the success of a place is people's uses in quantity and types of those (spaces 2018). For instance, a successful park is used for many people in different frame times and other activities such as playgrounds, sports, concerts, or leisure time. It was necessary to analyse the area in many aspects to find its strengths and the residents' necessities. After knowing the configuration of the street and the resident and local business owners' opinions, it is possible generating alignments for the proposal following characteristics of public places.

urban enjoyment
The dictionary describes the word enjoy as getting pleasure from something (Press 2021). So, urban enjoyment might be defined as obtaining pleasure from urban spaces. This section shows the methods used to study the city of Perth to re-interpreted the concept of luxury in the urban area.
future nostalgia - the gray Perth
Cities and architecture are bonded because of their constant change. There are new types of construction, design approaches, thinking movements or structural systems, but cities lose parts of themselves in their way to be modern. Before, buildings and spaces were used and recognised by residents as part of their environment; nowadays, they are empty areas in cities. As Patrick Geddes informed, the city is not only inhabited; the city is produced (Amati, Freestone and Robertson 2017). In Perth, people who live in the capital centre move out because the metropolitan area does not offer suitable houses, entertaining activities, or a much livelier public city. Residents do not appropriate the spaces and buildings, and the coordination of actors, knowledge, and materialities has difficulties creating a system. The community is not engaging with their history, so it does not develop an identity with Perth. When time passes, residents start feeling something missing in the city, but it is not easy to define. This sense could be named "future nostalgia".

hallucinate - the neon Perth
This chapter is where all "no possible" ideas are possible. Experimenting around the parliament precinct is part of the enjoyment of the space. Which ideas could be tried, and which ideas are spacially complex? A definition of spatial complexity says that the architectural space has three ways to generate experiences: the regular, the reflected and the projected space. The first is the space filled by the body; the second is that we observe on reflective materials, and the last is space shown on 'projection surfaces' and produced by digital pictures (Bar-Eli 2018). People, in their process of producing spaces, change them in massive or minor measurements. Furthermore, this characteristic is explained by Deleuze and Guattari as Rhizomatic urbanism. In contrast, an example said that orchid developed features to attract the wasp to be pollinated, and the wasp has behaviour that is favourable to the orchid. The same is possible in urban architecture by creating spaces or buildings that change because of the people. This interaction could be requested by following social media events, for example. This chapter develops all the drawings and ideas that nurture the final design project, which is fundamental re-manufacturer architecture in West Perth and Perth CBD.

parliament House
has the privilege of having a great view over the Swan river because there cannot be buildings that block its view. Nowadays, in Perth, the primary source of contact with nature is the Swan River, but many lakes are inside the city. These lakes gradually disappeared, and their areas were filled with urban lots. (Bolleter 2015). In luxurious spaces of joy, individuals experiment with pleasure from sensorial stimulations. Thus, to the project is essential the connection with the river because we could find life around the river, senses like texture and shadows, sounds, odours, and movement (Reid 2015).
laderas de Chaclacayo, multi residential and
mixed-used building
This project is the last stage of becoming a Peruvian architect. It is presented after finishing a Bachelor's degree and two years of work experience. The project is located in Chaclacayo, a Lima district in Peru. This city has an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. It is known that Chaclacayo enjoys sunny weather and very low humidity most of the year. However, torrential rains can cause floods in some areas during summer; this is important when considering the distribution of essential services such as electricity, drinking water and the sewage network. The proposal consists of multi residential. The target market is people who need quality social housing. This is the reason for the proposal of sustainable buildings, assisted by taking advantage of the characteristics of the location. The buildings will contain apartments of medium size with independent entries. However, sharing common areas such as parks and community halls is considered to benefit the residents.

The main objective is to use this area to build multi-family dwellings for 140 families. This interest originated in the urban expansion of the capital city. Lima has increased in the last 50 years from 10 420 357 inhabitants in 1961 to 31 237 385 inhabitants in 2017. However, during the previous ten years, Lima's population has increased by 3 016 621 inhabitants. Real estate investors are constantly looking for new potential areas to develop residences. Since 2010, the district has already attracted investment in residential dwellings. The architectural part of the residential complex is to create terraces by using the hillside. As a result, the design volume adapts to the topography. Semi-public terraces strengthen the relationship between the families and the environment in which they live.

Internal walking circuits are generated in the complex to give people the sensation of a pedestrian street. They are visually connected with the outside. Towards the avenues are proposed buildings of 4 storeys and in the corners buildings of 5. On the other hand, spaces for public use and towers are designed to gain visuals of the topography and landscape. For instance, in front of the property is the central park on one side, and on the other is the Rímac river.
ground floor
Three types of terraces were proposed: The “Lookout terrace” is where the user can observe the environment from different altitudes, which generates different perceptions. As objects of observation, the complex sees the park, the river and the mountain. The “Productive terrace” allows the user to take advantage of the place's climatic characteristics with urban nurseries in their apartments. The “Recreational terrace” is located in the central part of the complex in the private open area. Those spaces have services for all the families, such as picnic areas, playgrounds, and BBQ areas.
first floor
second floor
The housing towers are placed perpendicular to the park for better use of visuals. Each floor of the towers is designed to contain two housing units. Social spaces, such as the living room and dining room, are oriented towards the park and the river, and the service spaces and bedrooms are oriented towards the internal open areas. The vehicular access to the complex is through the lowest avenue. The car park is distributed on a ring road under the apartments and part of the open areas. This road allows communication between parking islands, easier emergency attendance and rubbish collection. Commercial use is proposed on the complex's ground floor to create a unique people dynamic and generate security for the families. Meanwhile, the rent of these shops makes income for the maintenance of the complex. The commercial area has a mini-market, shops and a traditional restaurant on the corner of the square. This restaurant is designed to offer Pachamanca, which is a typical food. This dish is cooked with a unique kitchen requirement: a rock oven on the floor.
house of Lima culture
The project is situated in Lima CBD. The area contrasts the Virreinal / Republican architecture and a contemporary artistic avenue where artists used deteriorated buildings for graffiti interventions. As a result, the design proposes a hybrid facility with cultural uses to combine traditional and new artistic expressions. The principal entrance is through Tacna Avenue. The project conserves the original facade of the society of Architects, which dates from 1976. In the same block, there is a San Marcelo church in Baroque style. The project's concept is based on the union of tradition and Boheme. All the project is designed around two squares: The art square and the Tradition square. They are imagined with contrasting uses, which generates new social dynamics. These are thought to attract people of all ages. Art square uses a Theatre bar, food court, art shop, Cafes, Book shop cafe, and music study. Tradition square uses: Auditorium, museum, cinema club, library The courtyards also have complementary uses. Education: Art workshops (graffiti, clown, dancer, gymnast, trapeze). Housing: Penthouse, share housing, flat, duplex, studio) The project uses the facade of the Society of Architects as an entrance to the apartments. Over this, the housing volume is separated with glass walls to give freedom to the historic facade. In this way, it maintains its heritage value. The building is divided into two blocks for commercial and housing use. The former is horizontal with public and semi-public areas. The latter overlaps the first and has a height to align with adjacent buildings. The facade is composed of a metal structure with coloured glass to control the sun inside the apartments. These colours are from the national catalogue of colours permitted in Lima's centre. The panels were distributed based on the apartment type, giving movement and contrast to the traditional facades around the project.

ronda
This project is situated in La Ronda, in the countryside of Lima. This city has an altitude of 800 meters above sea level. It is known that this part of the city on Lima's hillside enjoys sunny weather and very low humidity for most of the year. The owner wanted to change the existing structure to a summer home. It was required to maintain a rustic style and use the characteristics of the place. The design uses the natural wind to control the temperature and external areas for recreation activities. The BBQ area is covered with a timber parasol, which gives sun and shade to this area and the main room. The terrace is situated on the south side to protect it from the direct sun.
individual project 2018
Production resources: Autocad, Sketchup, Vray, Adobe Photoshop
In the back part of the land is located a quail farm. Therefore it is essential to maintain the location of the house. The building follows the shape of the existing construction. A sink and toilet have external access, so these could be used by people in the BBQ area and the farm, independently from the house. The kitchen and the living room are integrated to create an open sensation of the space, and it helps to illuminate and ventilate the area. There are two bedrooms; one has external access, so the farm workers use it, and the main room with access through the living room is for the owners.
espacioComun - Trujillo
This urban project was designed for Espaciocomún Association. Our objective was to develop possible places for new architectural projects and offer an architectural proposal to Huanchaco Beach. All the projects help revitalise the city and give the community a better idea about the future of their city. Each of these 17 projects was assigned to different architecture offices and presented in the #trujillocomún exhibition. Understanding how Trujillo changed since the Virreinal time when it was founded, it is possible to propose an urban plan suitable for the current needs. This plan wants to meet the objectives: -The recovery of the historic centre with cultural-commercial projects. -Recycling non-compatible buildings such as factories, barracks and stations to turn them into new public spaces with facilities. -The occupation and definition of the borders through a strategy that articulates parks, ecological belts and services. -The generation of new theme parks associated with archeology and landscape. T -The regeneration of the coastal edges by expanding the land area and generating public beaches with recreational areas
One place to regenerate the coastal edges is Huanchaco beach. In this area are proposed two major uses. The first one is the recovery of the beach and the other is the use of recreational services.

Urban regeneration
These are projects developed for EMAPE - Lima's Council. The first project is "Bosques de ATE - ATE's forest." The project's general approach is to identify the different recreational and private investment buildings, considering the landscape context, urban context, and tentative area uses. The city of Lima has turned its back on the Rimac river for many years. As a result, several spaces are abandoned and have severe social and environmental problems. These issues have compromised the sustainability of this natural resource, creating a series of conflicts. This urban plan analysed the issues and offered possible architectural solutions.
