CAF New headquartersInternational competition in Caracas Venezuela, 2008.
Ten Architects. Office of Enrique Norten. Honorary Mention, International Design Competition. The new headquarters for the Corporation Andina de Fomento (CAF) is conceived as a detonating element of the new north south axis that will connect the central valley with the Caracas mountain range, with vegetation and Geography taking a leading role. This project expands the number of ground floors public spaces and connects two large urban parks. It also promotes the pedestrian and vehicular flow between urban sectors, public spaces and new developments. Plazas, parks, mass transit stations, paths and various urban activity centers are allocated along this new axis, which also sets a framework for a breathtaking view to the Avila Mountain. The proposal doubles the public space of plaza Altamira and Promote public transportation by providing extra parking spaces directly connected to an important mass transit hub. Along the axis an increase of density is proposed for the Altamira Sur district.

Colonia ObreraVenice Biennale 2008.
Delekamp Architects. Office of Derek Dellekamp. The Colonia Obrera is a neighborhood of Mexico city which was developed in the beginning of the 1900s, as a housing quarter for working class of those days.It was founded for industry workers, artisans and countrymen that would work in the center of Mexico City. Since then the urban fabric has remained practically the same as it is today. All though there has been an inclusion of subways, metro bus, a major freeway (called Central Axis or Eje Central), and many transformations that have happened in the central core since then. The contradiction of this neighborhood is that although the city has evolved, in many different ways, the identity and scale of this neighborhood has remained intact, so how come the city has grown to an unprecedented scale, without transforming this area? The reasons why this has happened are not the purpose of this project, but the ways to create higher quality housing, with high density, taking advantage of the existing infrastructure and proximity of the city center. This project stretches the limits of common sense by preserving the buildings in the area we believe have value, densifying without creating an urban ghetto, connecting in a low scale with other blocks, creating an almost 80% green footprint due to terraces and green roofs, exhacerbing the principles of a community through public space which at the moment are inexistent.

We believe in the essence of the barrio (neighborhood) as the structure of our thought. We believe in architecture as a discipline capable of creating values in the way humans interact. We believe in social interaction, cohesion and sharing resources. We believe in accessibility with independence.
16
We believe in sports, bicycles and outdoor living in an enclosed city space. We believe in privacy inside an artificial ecosystem which is the essence of a city. We believe in a programmatic hybrid, in space and in the capacity of an individual to take over it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver Forum of the FutureLeed Building proposal for the University of California Davis, 2010.
Ehdd. Office of Charles Davis. Sustainable Architecture. The aim of this project was to propose a zero energy building for the University of California Davis. The program consisted in the development of educational facilities for environmental studies. As part of the client requirements the building incorporates the office for the Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Our first approach for the proposal was to design two different massings, each varies in functionality and operation. Important topics like optimum orientation, wind flow, daylighting, and the use of local materials were the foundation of a very successful and high quality development for sustainable design.

Smith Vosler HouseResidential House in San Rafael Ca, 2010.
Nilus Design. Office of Nilus de Matran. Residential Project, Under Construction. Located above the hills of the San Rafael Mountains, the Smith & Vosler family decided to restore their house. The proposal not only addresses the existing space but also expands the volumetry of the house by the creation of a secondary tower. One of the primary requirements of the client was to transform the southern wood facade into a curtain glass wall. This decision turned the project into a challenge; which consisted in understanding the thermal comfort performance, to develop a solution that avoids over heating. In response to that we designed a trellis above the terrace to provide shade. This project is currently under construction.

MorphoLogical Educational Facilities
A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master in Architecture in the graduate division of UC Berkeley.
Committee in charge: Susan Ubbelohde, Tom Buresh, Marc Litalien, & Peter Bosselman. The aim of this thesis was to explore the parallel recovery and evolution of Buildings and Landscapes through time. MorphoLogical Restoration seeks to maximize the potential of postindustrial sites through decades of sequential architectural interventions. This study asks how the preserved architectural elements in the former Bayview Hunters Point Naval base could stay alive and yet be adapted to evolve over time. After the 2030 Challenge I believe that Architecture is confronting a period of re-configuration and is more aware of future challenges. It represents an open door for new ideas, technologies and possibilities. The project consists in a continuos and periodical adaptive reuse strategy of a military base into a Media Park. -Against the current proposal of redevelopment for a football stadium, I believe that the existing historical buildings have great potential to be recycled. The buildings that are located on site offer the spatial qualities to be restored into a continuos and connected complex.Performance Goals of the Project: Envelop would be preserved and readapted.
26
Program would be active and changeable. Spatial Configuration would be flexible and dynamic. Module would achieve maximum spans. Skeleton would provide maximum rigidity.

MorphoLogical Media Park
A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master in Architecture in the graduate division of UC Berkeley.
Committee in charge: Susan Ubbelohde, Tom Buresh, Marc Litalien, & Peter Bosselman. A Media Park represents the perfect bond of education and nature. The proposal brings together a social, technological, environmental and cultural program. Social: The project would offer primary education, job opportunities, social participation, recreational programs and also a sense of community. Technological: An implementation of an integral energy transportation system, the construction of educational facilities of high performance, and finally the promotion of green sustainable technology. Environmental: The project not only recovers but also expands its habitat and biodiversity. It is respectful of the environment by the recycle of landscape and buildings. It also saves land by a construction strategy of Urban Infill (by densifying the educational facilities footprint, the project releases vast areas for landscape architecture, recreational areas and open space). Cultural: The park would offer, active educational and cultural programs, that would reinforce the identity of the local community. Also recognizes its history by the preservation of important architectural buildings and by the construction of The Hunters Point History Museum.
34
Objectives of the Project: Secure the remediation, rehabilitation and re-densification of the site. Reorganize and optimize the access, circulation and attractions of the site. Activate beneficial sustainable cycles for the area and for the local community of Bayview. Connect the area with the neighborhood and with the rest of the urban fabric.

The Bay Bridge ProjectThe Bay Bridge Studio M Arch UC Berkeley, 2011.
Professors: Frederic Schwartz & Marc Litalien. Published in the San Francisco Chronicle. Awarded with an Honorable Mention, in the international Competition M_Art Madrid Spain. The project consists in the creation of a self sufficient community that grows food and flowers. A progressive active and changeable program of Local Development and Manufacture on site. From the environmental and ethical perspective, I am preserving a very historical site, The Bay Bridge.As most people are focusing on the construction of the new bay bridge, slated to be finished by 2013. Others are thinking of ways to reuse the old one. A structure that cost approximately $80 million Dollars.
The infrastructure and Architecture for the Master Plan are driven by sustainable design and green technology. Creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a buildings life-cycle. -Flexibility, Adaptability, Deployability and Prefabrication, were some of the explored concepts for the creation of this promenade of modular architecture.A PROMENADE OF HOUSING UNITS, WORKSHOPS MODULES, FARMING BEDS AND SERVICES, SET FOR THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR ENJOYMENT, AN URBAN MARKET IN THE BAY BRIDGE

Biomimicry Globe FishElasticity Inquiries Studio M Arch UC Berkeley, 2011.
Professor: Maria Paz Gutierrez. Implementation of Biomimetics into the creative design process. This project consisted in the development of a pneumatic structure by studying a living organism. As part of my personal research I focused in The Globe Fish and his capacities to expand and contract his spinal chord.Thousand of years ago, The Globe fish used to be very slow, and easy to be captured. Through the course of time & evolution he developed two defense mechanisms: the first one was to become poison by eating bacteria, and the second was to inflate himself by filling his body with water. Once his body is inflated, the metamorphosis that his spinal chord experience is an incredible method to study, mostly for structural elements that have torsion, expansion & contraction.
In response to that, I invented a bio-dynamic pneumatic structure that has the ability to be expanded and contracted by air pressure; A structure that later was incorporated to Generative Components as Parametric design.A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P

The Mekong River ProjectElasticity Inquiries Studio part II M Arch UC Berkeley, 2011.
Professor: Maria Paz Gutierrez. Incorporation of a pneumatic structure into a dynamic landscape in the Mekong river area. Project submitted to KERB competition, Melbourne Australia. The aim of this proposal was to design a system that would allow farm production of local communities of Mekong, during the monsoon and rainy season. In the past years, research has proved that communities of farmers had been greatly affected by floods and greatly unstable confronting: disease, hunger and loss of land. In response to that I designed a dynamic structural foundation, with a pneumatic unit prototype that has the potential to be vertically stacked. Each module would have a different function that would provide each family the basic needs to survive The modules would be conformed by a farming bed, a housing unit, a storage unit and a water cistern. By being stacked vertically they would create a self-sufficient life cycle that would maintain the community on site during the flood season. The result proves to be a self-generative grid that could be deployable, transportable and easily constructed. A progressive dynamic landscape that has the abilities to produce and survive.

Energy & EnvironmentBuilding Sciences M Arch UC Berkeley, 2011.
Professor: Allan Daly & Charlie Huizenga . This course explores energy simulation programs for sustainable design. During the class we researched & tested the latest energy simulation programs for environmental design including: Confen, Resfen, Ecotect, Energy Plus & E-Quest. My personal research was focused in energy simulations for Indoor Vertical Farming. During the design process I had the opportunity to run several simulations to find the best possible solution either in: type of window, type of frame, daylighting, air flow and high performance facade. At the same time I took advantage of the weather tool in Ecotect to fully understand the site of the project and its context, including optimum orientation, prevailing winds, humidity and rainfall. As a result, the energy simulation tools provided me precise data of the units orientation, & vegetables location.
