PORTFOLIO 2012

I am an architect with more than 8 years experience on planning, UX Design, performing and evaluation of vari-ous phases of architectural and masterplanning projects from concept design to construction. I have developed different proposals for public buildings, housing, urban planning projects and interactive installations, liais-ing with consultants and coordinating teams, managing the production of drawings, outline and detail design and producing documentation packages. I believe that the foundations of architecture are a constant learning, serious research and creative experimentation; conse-quently, I have focused my work on creating and building responsibility through architecture, leading groups and working on decision-making.

CENTRAL

LOCATION:Bogota,ColombiaSIZE: 51 stories 494.000 sftSCOPE:Schematic,Design Development Phase 1.STATUS:ProjectTEAM:Prodesa/MGP architects

Central is an opportunity to generate new landmarks inside the city , new architectural icons which are refreshing the idea of Bogota as a new city.The project’s geometries , light and materials are the sculptors of the interior spaces and the facade exposes its arrangement. The vertical and horizontal combination of the units produces several types of apartments and commercial areas according to the following established rules: all apartments are com-petitively attractive to the buyer; all of the social areas have an extension, either to the terraces, the street, or even the building’s roof; avoid as much as possible the contact between the social spac-es of one apartment with the rooms area of its neighbor’s.

SALITRE ALTO

LOCATION:Bogota,ColombiaSIZE:site :22.500 sft built area:34.200sftSCOPE:Schematic,supervision technical audit of work during Design and construction process.STATUS:CompletedTEAM:PRODESA

This project is located in the western side of Bogota, high and with a privileged view over the city. Two strategies for an ideal relationship between the public space and the project are proposed: backing up the building from its property limits, in order to show the citizens a more friendly view of a tall building in a two-story city, providing as well communal spaces on the perimeter of the lot; and developing two different height stages, in which, the building facing the street meets this urban condition with less height, and the building facing the privileged view takes advantage of this situation by being higher.

PARQUES DELA90

LOCATION:Bogota,ColombiaSIZE:73.000 sq.ftSCOPE:Schematic,supervision and technical audit of work during Design and construction process.STATUS:CompletedTEAM:VIVIENDAS PRODESA

One of the major challenges in a city like Bogotá is how to intervene the urban landscape and the image it projects through a building. On the other side, in order for a housing building to be competitive in the market, the constructive materials must be of low cost and easy to maintain, and this is why brick and con-crete have become this city’s construction material. With the given challenge and the chosen material, two types of apartments were proposed, the structure was solved in the perimeter with concrete screens, allowed muchmoreflexibility.Theflexibilityishorizontalallowingfreedistributionofspace,concentratingtheservice and technical areas on the periphery, making versatile spaces for the rooms and social areas.

Both types of the proposed houses, has four distribution alternatives. The orientation of the houses is optimal because they all get morning and afternoon sun-light, and all of the spaces are naturally illuminated and ventilated.

Since 2004, Bogota-Colombia has increased the number of new developments outside of urban perimeter (ruralareas).Calera10isanexampleofprojectsdevelopedunderrulesdefinedbytheMasterPlande-veloped in 2001 . This project was focused on to explore new construction processes in Latin America, especially concrete in order to implement Technology for Architecture.Calera 10 house is based on a concrete ribbon as architectural element . The brick walls, the second structural element, determine proportion of transparency according to the view ,function of spaces and connection between architecture and landscape.

SOCIAL HOUSING[CITIES]

LOCATION:Funza,Saocha,ColombiaSIZE:macroscale,Local master Plan,ResearchSCOPE:Schematic,supervision technical audit of work during Design and construction process.STATUS:CompletedTEAM:PRODESA

As a member of a multidisciplinary group of architects, urban planners and engineers, with whom we conducted re-search on different communities aiming to develop local master plans and housing projects in the short term. The outcome of this work were two successful social housing projects that improved substantially the quality of life of local residents, while simultaneously enhanced social values like education, and developed a better sense of community.Thefirstproject,SenderosdeFunza,wasbasedonaLocalUrbanPlandeveloping900unitsandthreedifferent priority house models. Currently, Senderos de Funza is a lively community with about 3600 inhabitants with an average of 4.5 members per family. The second project, Bosque de Tibanica, was developed in Soacha, an economically and socially deprived suburb southwards of Bogotá. This ambitious project, with over 3100 units, has had an amazing positive impact in the community by offering new green spaces, a library, and a nursery.
