Introduction
The selected architectural designs in this portfolio book were completed for the Master of Architecture program at the Graduate School of Architecture, Preservation and Planning at Columbia University between 2011 and 2014. I aim to provide a thorough overview of the driving forces behind my design sensibilities and applied logic. Having not been previously educated in architecture, my work naturally represents a wide gamut of experimentation in both design methodologies and visual representation. I believe this aspect is not for the detriment but advantage of my work, as I am continuously redefining the process by which I produce and represent. The concept of the architect as an inventor of space deeply intrigues me. The architect’s job is to synthesize the needs and desires of multiple agencies while imbuing their own sensibilities and knowledge into their design. The design problem is only complicated further by the complex set of relationships that they must consider. Once a building or work has been given life through construction it goes on existing independent of its creator. My work attempts to examine the stage of architecture as it is deployed and set to be experienced by the people. Ricardo Vega
HFTTP
A high-frequency trading tension platform Spring 2012
STUDIO CORE II
Slowstarter Bank - Im-material Architecture New York, NY
The HFTTP proposes renting a publiclyowned financial server park to the city’s high-frequency traders. The temporal and spatial characteristics of high-frequency trading are juxtaposed with a crowd funding platform to create dynamic public spaces. The high-frequency traders are suspended between the server towers in a landscape of garden and light pavilion that humanize the otherwise pressured and systematic profession of a high-frequency trader. Their proximity to the servers give them an advantage that allows them to generate larger profits and in return redirect some of that profit back into the community’s crowd funding platform.

CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND The conceptual background of the project relies on the juxtaposition of geospatial and temporal qualities of High Frequency Trading and a Kickstarter project. Using these two drawings it was deduced that the geospatial qualities were very similar in both types of networks, yet the temporal sequences were vastly different.

THE AQUASPHERE
An integrated water laboratory and research institution Fall 2011
CORE STUDIO I AQUASPHERE 1-4 New York, NY
The aquasphere was the theme of the Core I projects. Beginning with an understanding of cellular level changes in the dessication of a rose over time evolving into compact a water laboratory and finally culminating into a hydroponic food research institution, the biosphere questions the use and research of water as a foundation for our projects. Our close proximity to the Hudson River and the Catskills water reservoir allowed us to gather and generate real time research based on the nature and quality of the water we ourselves drink. The two following projects are highlights of the studio. Critic: Mark Rakatansky 28 / ARCHITECTURE WORKS

AQUA CELL Integrating the basic components required to run the lab, a multi-level laboratory unit responds to each component’s inputs and output. The building envelope emerged as a response to specific outputs including the movement of water and electricity. In addition to the visual interplay created by clear and opaque panels, viewers are encouraged to penetrate the space of the lab via a protruding canopy directly adjacent to the main working area. Under the canopy the public is able to receive live information feeds of the water quality or they can simply enjoy its shade.

HARLEM AGAVE
An industrial housing cooperative Fall 2012
STUDIO CORE III Food Versus Shelter Harlem, NY
As a housing and industrial cooperative, the Harlem Agave Co-op presents members of the West Harlem community with a unique opportunity to live and work in an agave syrup manufacturing block. Through various degrees of active and passive participation, the residents and their unit collaborate to grow, harvest and process the nectar of the agave plant. Each resident has the option to participate at various levels, at the minimum each resident’s unit must passively engage with the processing system, with large rent subsidies going to those willing to immerse themselves deeper into the project.

SAN ANDREAS: FIBERFIELD A deployable interpretive device for the fault Spring 2013
ADV STUDIO IV
San Andreas: Architecture for the Fault Parkfield, CA
An component of the San Andreas Fault National Park or SAFNP, the FiberField operates as a dynamic platforming system capable of sustaining infrastructure around the park. A wand is devised as a component of a larger system field. The component itself is a flexible rod with a connector base that attaches to a stationary concrete podium embedded into the ground. Through a longer rod, sensitive geological vibrations and tremors are transferred and amplified by a mechanism embedded into the base, and revealed by the swaying of the wand. Logistically the device operates as part of the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. Each visitor is given the option to pick a uniquely calibrated wand. As they make their way through different trails they encounter FiberFields (landmarks where a series of bases are embedded into the ground). At each location they are presented with the opportunity to insert their wands into the system and watch them translate seismic activity into a visual interplay of swaying wands that light up as seismic energy flows beneath them.

TERRESTRIAL WAYPOINT Terrestrial Waypoints help guests situate themselves throughout vast landscapes of the park. Each one accommodates one of several types of infrastructural services: i.e. water fountains, maps, waste and recycling disposal. While not accommodating to a complete Fiber Field, Terrestrial Waypoints include several oversized Fiber Wands that help guide guests at dusk and night hours.

ADV STUDIO IV
San Andreas: Architecture for the Fault Parkfield, CA
The location of the new San Andreas Fault National Park, or S.A.F.N.P., surrounds the widely studied town of Parkfield in the central region of California. The region around Parkfield attracts geologists from all over the world interested in studying the consistent fault creep and the multitude of micro-earthquakes that occur. The recent completion of the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth, mere kilometers away from the town, confirms that scientists are interested in establishing a long-term research base in the area.

HORIZONTAL VERTICAL CONNECTOR A vertical and horizontal campus Fall 2013
ADV STUDIO V The New University New York, NY
The design for a new university campus at the Manhattanville site proposes an graduate level extension to the Columbia University Morningside campus. The new university is composed of supplementary and complementary academic divisions and programs. The organization of the campus relies on a formal concept of intersecting horizontal and vertical masses. The university programs are primarily located on horizontal blocks that blanket the majority of the site and are clustered into thematic groups that link several programs for direct cross-disciplinary collaborations. The vertical component consists of four mid size towers rising above the blanket on the north edge of the site containing supplementary programs such as incubators, applied research labs and collaborative research groups.

The ETA (Exhibitions of Temporary Art at Istanbul) question the typical zoning envelope and engages over the public domain of the street. In return an expansive ground floor plaza is offered to the community, allowing an opportunity to create a pedestrian link between the urban wall condition of the water front and the dense residential zone over the steep escarpment behind the site. The studio challenges included balancing a negation of the zoning envelope, while developing an argument on the exhibition of contemporary art and allowing a range public permeation through the galleries and exhibitions.

ETA ISTANBUL The Exhibitions for Temporary Art at Istanbul were founded as a way to exhibit contemporary works from emerging to established artists, whose advocates believe that public access and exposure to the work would promote knowledge, understanding of contemporary art practices. Over time, educational programming including lectures, workshops, and classes were introduced, all of which were held to the highest museum standards.

BRONX FORUM EXCHANGE A light industrial manufacturing and design loft Fall 2013
AT 5
Building Science & Technology Bronx, NY
The Bronx Forum Exchange is a 70’ by 280’ building located on a 450’ square site in the Bronx, NY. The architectural concept is based on an exterior structural skeleton that visually wraps around the envelope of the building. The result of the external structure is an expansive, column-free interior that provides a flexible open space for light industrial workshops and design studios. The exterior, clad structural column is located far enough from the envelope to be discerned visually from multiple perspectives. As the column rises over the top of the envelope it rails into the building and seemingly disappears as it continues past the envelope line.

THE ROSE CENTER
A structural case study for an earth and space museum Spring 2013
AT 4
Building Science & Technology New York, NY
The Rose Center for Earth and Space, built in 2003 as replacement for the original Hayden Planetarium, sits in the Museum of Natural History’s north side. Its concept has been described by its architect, James Stewart Polshek, as a “cosmic cathedral,” whose spatial experience would awe and inspire visitors with an understanding of the wonders of our universe, “in much the same way that the monumental spaces of medieval cathedrals inspired visiting pilgrims.” The building is designed and built as a visual expression of the science it contains within, a physical learning tool for its visitors. An iconic sphere, enclosed within a 120-foot-high glass cube curtain wall showcases state-of-the-art technological and structural systems that express the museum’s mission for science and technological research.

IBL / VAPOR VEIL
A vapor sensor and delivery system Spring 2013
BODY CRAFT Visual Studies
Utilizing a vapor sensor and delivery system, the Vapor Veil is able to detect the quality of the immediate environment and the vapor print of the user. It releases antibiotics and other nutrients into the mouth region when necessary. The design allows for the mask to fan in and out in order to minimize facial obstruction when it is not needed and is fully independent structurally, lightly resting on the chest when retreated or expanded. The mask employs a series of hollow tubes to transfer the stored medical fluids from an IBL suit or component. The embedded tubing system connects to an IBL component through an extension piece that anchors the left end of the mask and connects to the storage tubing on an IBL. This extension is also used to refill the necessary fluids at Bio Fluid Stations throughout the city.

ROOSEVELT ISLAND WATER TERMINAL A relief expansion to crossing the island Fall 2012
AT 3
Building Science & Technology New York, NY
Due to inadequate pedestrian access into the island, the studio proposed a new water taxi terminal at the edge of the waterfront in Roosevelt Island. Inspired by the leaf logo of the Department of Parks and Recreation, the sponsoring department, we designed a floating and rotating dock that will accommodate up to eight water taxis at once. The metaphor of the floating leaf inspired us to allow the dock to swivel on a rotating pivot structure to facilitate docking during variable stream directions of the water. One of the requirements was to incorporate a researched technology form the class. We chose a tensile membrane for the roof of the dock.

DOUBLE SKIN FACADE
An art inspired double-skin facade in Los Angeles, CA Spring 2014
ADVANCED CURTAIN WALL
Building Science & Technology Los Angeles, CA
The main elevation of the building features a double-skin facade with a corridor made by continuing the slab of the floor plate. The outer facade is completely glazed with clear vision glass while the corridor accommodates mechanical shades. The inner facade includes a mix of ceramic fritted and tinted glass that expresses the aesthetic intent while preventing heat gain into the interior. The unit system is composed of a large module made up of two glass lights surrounded by a custom extrusion. The stack joint at the floor line accommodates air intake grills from below each unit and exhausts the air through side grills at top of the mullion to avoid water seeping in from the top of the stack joint. The connection between the two lights of glass within the unit is minimal and reinforced by a structural handrail that transfers the glassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; horizontal loads down to the floor plate through touch points in the glass.
