I grew up in South Oak Cliff observing the world around me, and construction fascinated me. I was always amazed by how these buildings came to life. Seeing wooden frames transform into fully furnished homes inspired me to take an interest in architecture and the people that live in it. I’m passionate about learning how things work and why they work. My love for learning is immense, I wish to absorb as much knowledge as possible . My pastimes include learning languages and creating art. I enjoy keeping my mind busy.

Project Precedent Study

Instructor Jenewein Oswald

Pfarkirrche Petrus Canisius is a church rising above a plinth which accommodates the annexed buildings and is opened diagonally across the corners. The plinth floor, made of decorative concrete, is structured by symmetrical cuts in the façade; the upper floor with its yellowish plastic façade and the white metal frames stands out deliberately. Inside, the plastic makes the walls appear as if they were light-dimmed and the monumental paneled celling made of decorative concrete floats above them Regarding the altar, H H Parson implemented the demands of the Second Vatican Council exemplarily.

Location Innsbruck, Austria

Year Built 1969-71

Project Cubism in Architecture

Instructor Heath McDonald

This project challenged me to delve into the world of Cubism through the lens of one of its notable proponents, Le Corbusier. After choosing a cubism painting, I applied architectural principles of design to analyze, reinterpret, and reconstruct the work in various forms, culminating in a 3D model. This multidisciplinary approach enhanced my understanding of the intersections between art and architecture. With this project I focused on capturing the essence of the painting’s spatial arrangement, exploring how the flat, fragmented planes can be reimagined as three-dimensional forms.

By using characteristics of plan and section a design is to be created showing the connection between the two and proportioning systems. The spaces created within the sire should include a primary, secondary, and tertiary space.

Project Natural Terminus

Instructors Crystal Maria Portillo & Victor Vielma

Using the programs, Rhino, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Lumion, I created a one - minute video illustrating the immense size of the universe After visualizing my idea, I started modeling my concept using Rhino. I used Illustrator and Photoshop to adjust line weights The purpose of this video was to understand the workflow between said programs as well as learn how to use them.
