Building function comparison: Green Spaces Residential Mixed Use Institutional Mexico Irapuato Historic Center IRAPUATO, MEXICO People leaving to the suburbs Bring services to the core of the city Result of suburbia PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC PUEBLA, MEXICO. URBAN REHABILITATION This project is my undergrad thesis, it is a study that proposes the redisign of the historic center of the city of Irapuato. The city was founded in 1547 and the morfology of the city was a reaction of both the geography and the social problems of the time. With the inclusion of the car the city had to make changes and they redeveloped the streets and blocks. After the year 1969, the city hasnt improved any of the caracteristics that form a city. They had forgoten of bringing services to the city so people prefer to live in the suburbs. The proposal offers the addition of several interventions in the historic center to improve the standard of living and to make of Irapuato a city comparable from other first world cities.

Taking the mangrove as inspiration, a code was developed to imitate the pattern created by the branches and roots. Using the CNC machine the pattern was cut out of a 2x4 Honduran Mahogany and applyed to the table top of a coffee table. Rhino/Grasshopper/Phython/Laser Cuter/3D Printer/CNC

View from the park Site Plan PIAZZA ISOLA TIBERINA The goal for this project was to reinvent and merge two existing piazzas on isola tiberina in rome. The piazzas housed a church and a hospital. A brick clock tower and arcade which created a formal entrance to the space and it merges the two piazzas into one. A set of steps in front of the church and a change of flooring creates an informal amphitheater with a stage and seating. On the opposite side, a green area is added with a cafe. The addition of benches allow for a better enjoyment of this area and also provides natural light for the gallery located underneath. This gallery introduces a space for young artists to exhibit their art and it also counts with it s own cafe. Sketch Autocad/SketchUp/Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign

View s Study Sketch BOK TOWER GARDENS In the same way the bok tower rises out of the canopy, this pavilion blooms and spreads over the site like a flower. The origin of the concept is established through the creation of two axes: one framing the tower and the orange fields and the other suggesting an entrance and a perfect position for performances. A hierarchy of spaces is created by the intersection of both axes. Autocad/Revit/Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign

Parti Aereal View Residential Gym Commercial Art Gallery QUARTZ ON TENTH The highline is a unique structure that cuts through the fabric of new york city blocks. This elevated park creates an experience for people to view the city from a different perspective, sometimes turning the city inside out. The idea behind this building was to explore the two different identities. On the outside, street view, it blends in with the traditional city fabric; on the inside, it expresses the characteristic of the building s interior. Those passing by on the highline can see the astonishing interior of the building. The skin on the outside is brick and steel, which wraps around the traditional street facades. In contrast, the back façades facing the highline comprises of steel, concrete and glass paneling. These revealing and contemporary materials surround a virtual courtyard that recedes from the highline. Autocad/Revit/Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign Rear View

The super-block is an urban consistency. Easy: all the services that a human needs to live within 1x1 mile. By studying the block from the size of the street & side walk to the function of every building we find out that these blocks are not a regular block but a full city within a walk distance from your home. This means that a person (if wanted) would not have to leave this block for any reason. Health, education, commercial, govern, private, housing & more are all together in the super-block. Once we knew every inch of this particular block we added an artistic touch. 10 Different tones of vermillion for 10 different functions. KYOTO, JAPAN Autocad/Photoshop/InDesign

ARENA SCHOOL This project is a school for kids with autism. The building that they needed had to be design with certain specifications for their needs. Every class room, office and even bathrooms are done just for the kids needs. The building eco-friendly approach consists mainly in taking advantages of crosswinds and with the use of natural light as main source. Autocad/Revit/Photoshop Exploded Iso

15 in 15 in FURNITURE DESIGN This bed side table is inspired by 1950 s furniture and japanese designs. The furniture piece is a very modest design but it catches the eye of the viewer by the addition of small details. It is built completely with wood using walnut as the main wood and a single piece of ash. As for the joining of the different pieces methods like dominoes and Dovetails were used depending on the type of joint.
