The work presented in this portfolio includes my last year’s work, from academic, collaborative work and through my own multidiciplinary practice, OWAR Architects. These experiences have given me the opportunity to be involved with different areas related to Architecture, Urban Planning, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture; establishing, from different sides, a important relation with the thinking and creation of the built and cultural environment, as it can be seen in the works now presented.

Riverticy Gothenburg 1401 Landscape Architecture . 2011
Description: Gothenburg is the example of the categories of landscape, architecture and infrastructure working as independent pieces. Great parks, beautiful canals and urban plazas, are completely isolated by the scale of infrastructure and its disruptive action. The city is archipelago of disconnected patches without any relation between them and with its river, completely neglected by infrastructural purposes. Taking this infrastructural condition, the project reverse what has been seen as a problem to present it as a virtue. The Bridge Park stitches both sides of the city creating a landscape of connectivity as the new cohesive piece for the urban integration. The new park space would be an example for the future protection of the city against environmental changes, integrating the two sides of the city, and defining the recovery of the relation between land-water. The pier-bridge strategy integrates the opposite concepts of infrastructure and landscape, north and south, land and water, in a new icon for the city that will define its new gateway in relation to the water. The linear condition of the proposal is its virtue for making it legible, defined and densely programmed, leaving Frihamnen activated and open for future development as the new core for the city of Gothenburg

Description: The project articulates 3 landscape scales to introduce local, urban and metropolitan needs. Through the introduction of a linear park, its undulations and breaks, the park stitch isolated preexistences and propose a urban scale circuit for sport and leisure. Objectives: (a) Incorporate the largest promenade possible in an urban context (b) Create a “Park” and 10 “Plazas” that respond to the urban scale and the local uses (c) Introduce the Ripparian Buffer concept as an ecological infrastructure for storm water managment, that allows the creation and maitenance of the park.

Description: The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 requires covering 20% of electricity demands with renewable energy by the year 2020, subsidizes new clean energy technologies, and requires the reduction of 80% in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. The design strategy for South Weymouth Naval Air Station envisions the site prototype that responds to the national renewable energy context, assuming local demands and future opportunities that can be associated to the BRAC Process as an integral strategy for the future. The Landscape of Energy is defined by three main functions: production, storage, and distribution. In spatial terms the first two are related with areas while the third connects the two. While contemporary human actions must shrink natural surfaces and reduce associated species populations, the positive action of restoring natural surfaces must go hand in hand with connecting them to support animal migration cycles. Under that premise, the principle of the design strategy is to associate the productive and storage area with a natural patch, and the powerline with an ecological corridor. From the coast to the interior the powerline defines an ecological corridor while the military base becomes an ecological patch, incorporating recreational surfaces, natural plants succession and urban development, while remediating the site in its contaminated state.

Description: Looking at the creation of oyster reef ecologies, the exercise consisted of testing the effects of water flow on the form of reef development. Using steel bar oyster domes as initial forms, the action of water force was tested with Surface Water Modeling System’s software (SMS) under real tidal conditions over a 24 hour period. The field of forces produced by the domes define patterns of settlements for shells where high speed flows are intensified. The flow’s map is interpreted as a bathymetry where high flows indicate the vectors where the oyster larvae will colonize, and are the higher points of the topography. The different conditions for oyster nursery, settlement, and growth will take place across the new topography that will define a diversity of habitat conditions for other species. The initial domes used to define the structural element for an emergent process of new habitats will corrode by the action of salt water, and natural succession will be ensue.

A LINE MADE BY WALKING. RICHARD LONG. 1967
Description: The project explores a reversal in the historical meaning of Frontiers between Chile and Argentina, through a LandArt operation that works with four concepts: (a) “Encounter Trench” perpendicular to the frontier that allows crossing it, (b) “Inverted Mountain” as a depressed plane that permit to see each other, (c) a “Limit Dissolution” because of the excavation under a common sky and the “Convergence Waters” produces by the slope that constitute the place where both sides meet. Objectives: (a) To produce the biggest result with the minimum of local resources (b) work with two simple actions to make a synthetic and absolute operation: Dig into the earth and Move rocks from the place. (c)To be capable of establish a relation between a defined

The project consists in a house located in the mountains landscape that works with important climate conditions –from the 95°F degrees in summer to 20 inches of snow in winter- and the request for sustainable considerations. Through the use of the straw bale constructive system and its modules, the house defines a simple square geometry at contrast with the landscape. Objectives: (a) To learn about sustainable materials and constructive systems and the relation between their properties and their spatial characteristics. (b) To construct contemporaries’ views to spatial and tectonic conditions associated to the Chilean traditional house.

The design established a central working wagon separated from the perimeter by a circulation loop in order to deal with the immanent properties of open-plan offices buildings. This strategy allows having a main corridor to the north, achieving direct sunlight controlled area that accumulate heat in winter (open wagon) and keeps isolated from the warm summer (closed wagon). Objectives: (a) To work with passive climate methods. (b) To work with units capable of being open or closed indifferently, producing diverse spatial relations that stimulate individual interactions without losing independence. (c) To work with prefabricated modules that allow dry construction and sustainable use of materials.

More than a formal vision, the project focuses into developing strategies that consider landscape as a process in time that could vary in relation to program or productive entities, such as irrigation or planting. Objectives: (a) To work with topographical operations to organize a site (b) To integrate irrigation and drainage logics to the design process to produce sustainable use of resources.

The thesis exposes a threedimensional vision of public space through the case of the underground condition as urban problem. In the context of extending the urban experience to vertical axes, is necessary to produce a connected and continuous structure between the different horizontal planes to produce a spatial fluidity. Objectives: (a) To articulate the research of urban conditions through the concepts of continuity and connectivity. (b) To reflect about continuity and connectivity, the disciplines that manage them and the way they can contribute to architectural problems.

Description: The project defines a lightning design in three different scales: continental scale, a lighthouse that defines a milestone to the ships; urban scale, as a threshold between two different cities that are now conurbated; local scale, as a vertical axe that produce a relation between the different planes of the city. Objectives: (a) To understand the light as an architectural element capable of defining urban conditions. (b) Work with contemporaries languages according to the historical condition of a classical building.
