STATEMENT
I’ve discovered a philosophy that entails design as an interdisciplinary and collective effort to respond to contemporary s. Having been born and raised in Bolivia, a developing country in the heart of South America, I grew up watching 38% of poverty - which has allowed me to see things from a different perspective. There is a fundamental truth that we can change with the ever-present desire to create impact and generate outcomes. Therefore, I sought a profession that would allow me ligence in order to make a better world. I’ve discovered that to be truly great at something, you need to be connected to it. a legacy of inspiring designs that enhance the environment and enrich the human experience.
physical environment of our lives. It connects us to the past, engulfs us in the present, and captivates us with the vision of efine our relationships to one another, and it gives us a sense of place and identity. Architecture also embodies our values idual and collective aspirations, and most importantly, it enhances and advances our creative legacy.
imple yet meaningful architecture that encourages adaptive thinking and sustainable solutions. It is essential to use g environment around us as an endless resource to bring unique components to design across the board. I focus on a approach to broad my vision and tackle unique challenges with research-based solutions contributing to the development a designer, I encourage myself to come up with innovations through sustainability and fabrication, addressing societal and act design.
ue meaning of collaboration with creative people and talented leaders has the power to create well-thought, well-crafted ce beauty with function, designing a future that is true to who I am. My focus is to continue developing my knowledge ectural design skills and techniques that efficiently articulate ideas into iconic design solutions for real world problems. he one dominant profession of the future: a sustainable designer.
heritably problem solvers, and to do that we design. Pursuing the career of architecture, is a transformative engine for unity to a never-ending learning path. My goal is focused on excellence—to set the bar high, to push myself as a bold unexpected, and surpass expectations.

The conceptual logic that drives my thesis is linked to the ultimate perception of function and efficiency. The purpose of this project is not only to monitor the comings and goings of people transitioning between Canada and the US, but to provide a symbolic change to a new horizon. Allowing users to experience “moments” that gives recognition to what is being left behind, while transitioning to what’s waiting further ahead. The main goal is to deal with the issues related to a complex program development and spatial flow, increasing efficiency while offering a simple direct movement of traffic and staff. The objective of design is based on anticipating structural challenges that responds to the site’s topography, and applying sustainable design strategies to deal with storm-water management and other design factors.

Upgrade and extension of current primary inspection booths and addition of 2 lanes. The existing Peace Arch border station consists of 10 primary inspection lanes. Statistically, the average wait time was up to 4-5 hrs with 3,500-4,800 noncommercial vehicles crossing daily. The addition of 2 lanes increases traffic efficiency by 20% per lane and eases traffic flow while construction inconveniences.

DI V I D E To increasing efficiency and security, a single mass is divided into public and private programmatic spaces. The experience is separated between vehicular and internal users.
ORIEN T
CON SERVE + INTEGRATE
The existing rectangular two-story building stays long and narrow to maximize solar gain. The private building above is lifted and slightly rotated to face parallel to the existing bridge, responding to the site’s grid.
An atrium connects the adapted structure to the new mass above it, significantly increasing interior natural lighting. Working with the existing structure reduces construction and drops the budget.

BRIDGE STRUCTURE
FUTURE EXPAN SION
The above mass is molded to resemble a concrete rock, symbolizing security and stability. The form was shaped to respond to Seattle’s harsh climate: its steep roof avoids snow loads and provides efficient drainage.
Supported by a bridge structure truss uniquely designed based on the building’s form. It consists of two main cores, one being the atrium with a mechanical and plumbing core, while the front one being a mechanical and egress core.
Federal buildings undergo many changes during their lifetime, therefore designated open spaces provide flexible architecture and the ability to expand and reconfigure programmatic spaces within the established structural grid.

PIT TSBURGH, PEN N SY LVAN IA
B RIDGES + HIGH VOL . ROADS
This mixed used project focuses on a concept that reflects on the nature of human condition and the lived urban experience. Pittsburgh has been an assembly of steel, concrete and glass for many decades. Imagine walking through the city and suddenly perceiving a tower made of wood and plants. Such a contrast defines the city’s history and evolution over time, while suggesting an alternative future. Connecting time with environmental developments and sustainable extensions is what essentially models our urban landscape. The objective of design is to explode the capacities of CLT as a main structural system, while creating a dynamic yet modular façade with parametric design software. The project is envisioned as a new model of sustainable architecture, with plants growing on its facade and bringing the building to life.
Academic Project Level: Studio IV Date of project: September - November 2017 Duration: 10 weeks total Individual Work Softwares used: Revit for 3D modeling, 3DS Max for Rendering, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for Diagrams and Drawings. Supervisor: Alice Guess (aguess@scad.edu)

The tower becomes a triangular mass to orient living spaces toward the south for passive solar heating and maximize winter sun exposure.
Retail and maker spaces are divided creating a pathway that attracts people to go through the building instead of around it. This pathway connects the riverfront and the rest of the site’s context activities.
STAC KIN G

To achieve modularity, floors were optimized through the idea of stacking blocks in an organized and geometric design style enhancing movement.
Residents have additional views as the tower rises. The triangular edges were straightened to maximize floor plan spaces and provide even more views toward altered directions.

The Amber road is an expansive trading network that extends through Latvia and its coastline. The purpose was to design a cabin that would be placed in sequence along the trail for travelers to stop and rest during their journeys. The concept “Shelter on the Go�, was driven by the idea of simplicity and practicality in mind, creating a structure that is simple to assemble and functions off the grid. Challenges such as climate and construction feasibility were addressed by focusing on modularity and sustainability. The cabin hovers above the ground while it sits on precast piers which can be brought in, quickly placed, and leveled. This accommodates to the precipitation in Latvia and helps combat water runoff and flooding. Prefabricated timber frame and wall panels create a kit of parts that are ready to be built on site.

E V OLU T I O N O F FORM
The cabin’s form was derived from imageries and geometries of an amber stone, which are found along the trail. The design follows and interprets the stone’s form in its structure, plan, and section creating not only a functional and sustainable cabin, but also something relating to its site.

Sustainability The roof collects rainwater, which stores and heats up using solar water heaters. The water is accessible through gravity fed faucets to both sink and shower. Solar power is implemented to generate light for low E light bulbs and a wood stove is designed to heat the cabin’s interior. The toilet organically decomposes waste limiting the need for a septic field or pump.

FLORIDA C OAST - EVERGLADES REGION
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has proven that the ocean will gradually get warmer, steadily increasing the rate of evaporation and amount of rain fall per year. With rising sea levels, one of the main causes of hurricane damage in eastern USA is from resultant storm surge. Strom surge is caused by the rise of sea level due to low pressure, high winds and waves. When these waves make landfall, these result as massive floods, costing a significant loss of life and damage. These net positive structures, aptly named Floodgate, use adaptive response mechanics, harnessing tidal energy to create an impenetrable wall barrier during hurricanes. The low profile of the walls affects only detrimental hurricane waves and allow existing ocean ecology to move uninhibited in the depths below.

Illustrative diagram
Inspired by the regional characteristics of Tongzhou and its cultural roots connected to the Grand Canal, the design of each tower portrays the idea of a reduced lower volume and a solid floating top that unifies the whole, representing the idea of a traditional canoe. One of the biggest challenges for the form and faรงade design development was working with the planning of the hospital, since health care floor plans are many times strictly limited by code and functionality of spaces. The selection of local materials was closely analyzed with an inclination toward a modern style. Wooden horizontal louvers are present on all buildings, fading and re-appearing as they progress throughout the faรงades. Additionally, balconies at the end of each tower, allows a continuation of green elements bringing the buildings to life.
