A section or "chunk" of the site was taken and detailed in order to achieve a better understanding of how the spaces work and the connections between floors and shapes This is a mixed used space of both residential and commercial spaces
The more linear spaces represent the different floors respectively design to generate a contrast between the programs and the ones that cut through with irregular shapes represent the union of then by creating community spaces for mix use purpose within them
EXPLODED AXONOMETRIC
Before diving into the Animated library, a living structure was design and then translated into the library A juxtaposition between 45 and 90 degree grids are shown and are exploded in order to created the animated effect

SUNKEN CITY
Climate change is happening It is and will be a factor as well as a responsibility for future generations to consider it as part of our design process and objective For the Sunken City my approach was to deal with the rising temperatures affecting the sea water levels Architecture shoudl deal with the environment and

RESIN + ACRYLIC
This project was created in collaboration with the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico UNAM 3rd year students in a week. We were given a site, created a series of studies and came up with a concept that would be developed for the following three days before presenting it in front of faculty from the University of Southern California USC and UNAM
The project is a small exhibition space in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Designed with the intent to promote the arts and invite students and young adults to showcase their work in attempts to help people become proud of their art. A space free of economic disparities, safe, clean and fresh

SOUND ODDYSEY
The LA Institute of Film Arts and Underground Museum Annex has the goal to cultivate creativiy and curiosity towards the art of film The implications that come from creating the atmosphere to the essential core idea of a film By playing with the sound and lighting of a screen, an artist can portray feeling, emotion and also inspire others, and that is the goal of The Orbit. Concave and Convex shapes help create this. The museum revolves about the concept of having three big dome/sphere like structures surroung by a series of mini galleries on the inside Every space is different purposely

OROZCO'S HOUSE
Working dur ng my time at Alesste Ingernieria, I was in charhge of demol t on of existing house and proposal of new one With the help of my instructor I managed to achieve th s 2 story house for a client that was previously g ven to us, we could approach it the way we wanted to just sticking to the clientes spec f cations, but creative freddom was had.
SOFTWARE: SKETCHUP
SITE PLAN
The sun position throughout the day is convenient to the place the terrac is located. The sun rays don t go directly above or in front of the terrace which gives people complete freedom to be there any time of the day

COMMUNITY CENTER
During my ntership at Cuningham Group, I worked int he development of the following community center The proposal got developed into a smaller building after I left, but I was part of the creating process of the initial and original concept design The software used were hand sketches, Revit and enscape; but mostly Rev t.
SOFTWARE: RHINO, REVIT

FLOOR PLANS
The project plays with the concept of transparency and transluscent surfaces in order to achieve daylighting and privacy What it also does it exposed the CLT post and beam structure for the public to see as a facade feature as well

PARAMETRIC PAVILION
In order to understand a parametric pattern using computer science, its imperative to get a closer look on how is created This pavilion captures the simplicity and elegance that a code can provide to a building while realiz ng how technology has provided a tool that we can use to generate effective algorithms of our creation Manually creating this design would ve taken at least x6 more t me
SOFTWARE: RHINO, LUMION, GRASSHOPPER
3DS MAX DESIGN
I took a remote course on general design. Interior and outside façade des gn are a equal as the program of a house or any commercial build ng in my opinion I took the course because I am rea ly interested in pursuing somethin related to interior design later n my ife Also, I bel eved this was an opportunity that I had to take that was different from my classes in school at the moment
