This portfolio presents a selection of academic and professional work, that reflect how I explore the relationship between architecture, urban systems and landscape processes— works shaped by ongoing questioning, unexpected conditions, and carefully studied contexts. Together, they form a multiscalar approach that navigates diverse architectural, urban, and environmental dimensions.
Each project carries its own challenges, and their differences call for strategies drawn from urban design, construction logic, bioclimatic thinking, and spatial experimentation.
Yet all six share a common vision: improving the quality of human experience through a socially grounded approach—one that emerges from a continuous cycle of creativity, exploration, and refinement, attuned to a changing world and committed to the responsible use of its resources. MANIFESTO

“Ecological linkages”
Landscape intervention of the Pance River Eco-park
Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Colombia
Location: Institution:
Pance Park, Cali/ Valle - Colombia
Date of the project:
June 2024
Context of the project:
The project emerges from the misalignment between fluvial dynamics and recreational occupation along the Pance River, focusing on the understanding and reinforcement of transversal relationships within the middle river system.
CONTEXT landscape framework
Site
The Pance River Eco-Park is characterized as a landscape in transition between the Farallones mountains and the Cauca River valley.
This condition is expressed through the presence of shrublands, tropical dry forest, and a gentle topography shaped by runoff flows.
Hydrological dynamics operate mainly in a transverse direction across the site.

transversal guided by organizing spaces landscape
Recognizing that landscapes transcend anthropogenic boundaries, this strategy consolidates the park’s edges by reinforcing their natural and human vocations and ensuring ecological continuity with the surrounding territory.
This strategy proposes sensitive immersion into the interior forest through elevated paths that preserve the understory while allowing visual engagement with the canopy and connecting both sides of the park.
Despite its strong urban memory since its inauguration in 1960, the park has not undergone interventions aimed at ecological appreciation beyond its recreational uses along the riverbanks.
As a result, opportunities related to birdwatching, scenic views, arboreal enclosures, forest clearings, and the rich ecological diversity present in these large-scale ecotones remain largely underutilized

Landscape
Given the challenge of intervening in a site that does not require additional vegetation, the planting strategy focuses on selective interventions that bring order and legibility to the landscape. Additionally, the creation of the Nursery Park makes the process of ecological restoration visible, allowing visitors to participate in and understand the regeneration of the ecosystem.
Architecture
The proposed architectural elements make use of local materials to create spatial enclosures inspired by the geometries of the site.
In addition to the existing path system, new circuits are introduced with clear destinations, designed to remain sensitive to the ecological dynamics of the forest.

Transformation of Parque de la Exposición through Landscape Renewal and Heritage Restoration, reconnecting the park with the city through new public spaces and the recovery historic landmarks.
Date of the project: September 2025
STRATEGY
urban local scale
Parque de la Exposición is Lima’s first major historic park, originally conceived as a venue for public festivities, technological exhibitions, and a zoological garden. Over time, processes of urban growth have led to successive reductions and alterations, significantly shaping its present condition.
As part of the Master Plan for Lima’s Historic Center, one of the most significant projects is the restoration of this emblematic public space. The proposal seeks to recover its historical value through an ecosystemic, ecological, and contemporary perspective, aiming to revitalize the urban space and address Lima’s deficit of green areas.

MASTER PLAN SCALE
Current Park
The Parque de la Exposición is in an acceptable condition, but it faces various urban and environmental challenges. The commission seeks to restore the park from a historical perspective focused on its monuments.
Urban Articulation
The reconnection with the city is proposed through new entrances to the park, articulated by a series of plazas that function as transitional spaces. These plazas are linked to monuments— existing or reinstated—which act as elements of welcome and as devices for the re-signification of the urban space.
Fauna as Ecological Infrastructure
A Through fauna studies conducted in the park, we uncovered a hidden universe. The park is one of the most important habitats for birds and migratory species due to the diversity of tree species and water bodies. Therefore, the park’s structural strategy centers on them, re-signifying the landscape not only in historical terms but also in ecological ones.
The current condition of the park is characterized by problems of integration with the city, with internal areas that are disconnected and isolated despite containing potential cultural and commercial attractors, where historic elements fail to engage in dialogue with the public spaces.
Current Situation Heritage Enhancement
As part of a strategy for the cultural and commercial activation of the park, the heritage buildings will be restored or reinstated, some incorporating new contemporary uses aligned with the park’s overall vision, such as interpretation centers, viewpoints and birdwatching stations, restaurants, and museums.
Landscape Scenarios
The park’s landscape scenarios are configured according to new dynamics within the park. Recreational and leisure spaces are proposed, along with water environments such as a natural lagoon, and bird observation areas in wooded zones such as the Botanical and Japanese Gardens, among others—creating diverse ecological settings at different scales.
Urban Landscape Proposal
The new Parque de la Exposición is presented as a proposal for urban revitalization through landscape, ecological, and urban design. The presence of diverse natural habitats becomes the turning point that shifts the park’s vision from a conventional historical restoration toward an ecological restoration approach, reimagining and understanding the park as an urban natural ecosystem. The proposal is conceived as an integrated system of circulation loops with different points of stay. Key interventions include the renaturalization and expansion of the lagoon, flexible plazas and gathering spaces of varying scales and dynamics, the insertion of new contemplative gardens, and the restoration of historic buildings. The project was divided into eight sectors for the detailed design of the urban proposal under an interdisciplinary team.

DESIGN MOVES
adequate infrastructure in traditional markets has led to the street trading into surrounding public space, urban congestion sanitary risks— intensified during COVID-19 pandemic.
ANALYSIS
Urban analysis identified critical congestion along major avenues and fragmented pedestrian flows, particularly across Av. Aviación and Migrante Park. Strategic pedestrian spines, new access points, and mobility upgrades were proposed to restore continuity, reorganize circulation, and relieve pressure on the market edges.
STRATEGY
The proposal reconnects Gamarra and the market district through color-coded pedestrian corridors, civic plazas, and a renewed Alameda along Av. Aviación. A commercial superblock, a network of public nodes, and improved mobility infrastructure—bike lanes, bus corridors, and designated stops—strengthen connectivity, commercial dynamics, and social inclusion.

A spatially ordered system addresses chronic market challenges—crowding, obstructed aisles, tight circulation, and inadequate ventilation, lighting, and sanitation.
Responding to the need for adaptable layouts under health-related restrictions, the system pairs fixed stalls with mobile units that can be dismantled and repositioned.
This flexibility supports normal operations yet enables rapid reconfiguration during crises, creating temporary courtyards that improve airflow, safety, and overall performance.

HISTORIC CENTER OF LIMA
context & analysis
The former walled city of Lima once served as the city’s “pantry,” a fertile landscape that shaped local festivities and culinary traditions. Its grounds supported itinerant gastronomic commerce, a tradition that persists today.
However, in the last two decades, the Historic Center has suffered notable degradation, leading to urban and social decline. How can we restore its vitality while preserving its cultural legacy?

STRATEGY urban experimental space
This thesis focuses on a southern sector of the Historic Center, responding to the lack of recreational public spaces, the imbalance in gastronomic educational facilities, and the district’s critical socio-urban condition. It proposes an intervention that preserves collective memory, strengthens neighborhood function, and promotes revitalization through a flexible public space paired with a culinary school.
The project arises from an urbanarchitectural inquiry grounded in territorial analysis and explores new models for educational and recreational spaces. It envisions a fairground-like public area integrating itinerant commerce and urban gardens, fostering social inclusion and civic participation. The proposal combines community spaces, event venues of various scales, specialized commerce, public services, and open areas for festivities and gatherings.

“Cedric Price’s Fun Palace, 1964, builds on situationism to create spaces that encourage situations using a unique range of theatre and improvisational architecture [...] While the structure was never built, it served as an example of how architecture can transform the city scape and the way people interact with in it. [...] It is not a conventional building, it is a structure to allow adaptive and evolving architecture. [...] described the design as ‘a ‘laboratory of fun’ and a ‘university of the streets’’

MODULAR SYSTEM
wooden prefabricated
The culinary school complements this environment with dynamic learning methods and a prefabricated modular timber system. Organized into two elongated, lightweight volumes, it conveys a sense of temporality while optimizing construction processes. As an adaptable and replicable prototype, it offers a potential model for addressing infrastructural challenges across the Historic Center of Lima.
This modular occupation system reinforces the project’s experimental character by enabling adaptable spatial configurations tailored to evolving pedagogical and community needs. Its replicable, resource-efficient construction offers a strategic model for addressing infrastructural deficits in Lima’s Historic Center, strengthening urban resilience while promoting inclusive, future-oriented educational and public environments.

STRATEGY
urban local scale
In a city lacking places for gathering and shared memory, the new Expandable Hall of the Colegio de Arquitectos – Piura emerges as a versatile civic anchor. Strategically sited, its climate-responsive volume, patios, and terraces expand its communal capacity. create a calm interior realm.
A frontal setback articulates the building with an unused open space, catalyzing the formation of a new public plaza and urban landmark. An active façade with movable panels opens the hall toward the street, integrating urban life, while enclosed volumes and vegetated patios buffer noise and create a calm interior realm.

To mitigate Piura’s heat, the building arranges its volumes to create two open patios and an elevated green area that enable shaded circulation, cross-ventilation, and cooling through strategic arborization.
A south–southeast patio captures prevailing winds, while a rear patio releases them across the ground floor.
High ceilings, a ventilated double roof, wind-catching roof slopes, an active façade with insulated openings, green roofs for water reuse, and shaded landscaped patios collectively enhance thermal comfort and environmental performance.
The program is organized in two levels plus a technical basement. The ground floor hosts the Multipurpose Hall, conceived as a flexible space that can open to the plaza or be subdivided into up to four independent rooms. Two patios extend and ventilate the hall, while the upper level provides a terrace and coworking space. A central circulation spine connects all areas.
Material selection centers on locally sourced, climate-responsive construction. Concrete provides mass, rigidity, and thermal insulation, while lightweight timber enables efficient structural spans. Complementary elements—double masonry walls, insulated wood roofs, and movable wood-frame panels— enhance acoustic control, durability, and adaptability.

Barranco, Lima - Perú
Date:
December 2018
A new Municipal Stadium for Barranco that redefines sports infrastructure as public architecture integrating landscape, community, and urban continuity.
CONTEXT urban scale
Society has carried forward values that were once conceived in times when physical preparation was necessary to produce stronger soldiers capable of defending the community. Over time, these values have been transformed into living symbols that inspire and motivate society.
As a result, the city demands territories dedicated to the practice of playful activities—both active and passive, individual and collective—becoming new spaces where contemporary leisure rituals are celebrated within modern temples of pleasure. In this case, a stadium.
current situation
Barranco, Lima- Perú
Metropolitan Stadium
Urban fragmentation isolates the stadium from Barranco, the Costa Verde, and surrounding public spaces, limiting its role as an urban connector.
The proposal opens the block to the city by transforming it into a sports and cultural complex where public space supports new social and recreational dynamics within the residential context. A large circular plaza organizes pedestrian flows around the stadium, enabling fluid ground-level circulation while facilitating entry and evacuation through ramps and stairs connected to the underground train station.

URBAN PROPOSAL & METROPOLITAN COMPLEX
STRATEGY urban experimental
The stadium is conceived as a solid concrete base that forms a shaded public gallery integrated with the surrounding plaza.
Above, the structure transitions into a lighter system with a dynamic tensile roof responsive to wind and climate.
The inclined structural section allows the building to integrate more organically with the site, maintaining a human scale at street level while creating generous shaded spaces for pedestrians.
A large suspended canopy marks the main entrance, generating a curved architectural skin whose shade allows the public space to host activities such as fairs, exhibitions, and everyday social use.
The tensile roof becomes the project’s defining element, composed of bidirectional membranes that create a dynamic rhythm across the stadium ceiling, enhancing the spatial experience of spectators during sporting and cultural events.
