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 Obrera
Venice 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Flexible Market
Course: Cinematic Landscape. Professor: Cesar Torres Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Theme: Flexible Market. The aim of this exercise was to propose a design strategy that addresses the problems found on site, and to propose new ways of organizing dynamic systems. My proposal was to create a Flexible Market based in the concept of the Mexican illegal Tiaguis. For that I created an urban plan based on rules and parameters to control the everyday development. . Inserting this daily system to this part of the city, is something new and it creates a positive chaos. Analyzing this type of masses in a city like this is unique and also interesting.
CONSTRUCTION DETAIL
Finally I see this project as a human body with soul, which is in constant movement, connected to the behavior of the city, the period of time, the season of the year and the needs of the environment.

Professor: Mark Burry This studio converged students from different disciplines (graphic design, fashion design, industrial design, landscape architecture, & architecture). for the creation of a digital design center. Brief: We want to define the architecture and landscape through projection. That gives the flexibility for every changing possibilities. Nobody can posses the space, nobody can earn it. It should be truly public space. We dont want to create a piece of architecture or landscape architecture, we want to create an experience. It should be more like a self reflection, an interactive space. Methods:Communication through images and text Defining shape through projection Multifunctional rooms Decisions:Main theme as projection Projection as Architecture & Landscape Public space, not private in the context of rules and regulations Flexible, unlimited and non-permanence

Final results
Dots
Intensity of activity within the building. The more people, the smaller the dot s and therefore more dots. colours help in differentiating levels of buildings, in this case - 2 levels.
Water
Another measurement of activity within the building. This relates back to water, by using less obvious visuals in to show the intensity. White lines will animate on levels with the most activity while black lines will animate on the least intense level. The spaces in between will be used to blend these two animations together.
Voice
This is a combination of ideas that involves the intensity parameters, voice recognition and noise level measurement. Speech bubbles will appear on the facade relating to approximate whereabouts of the person speaking. Recognisible words from a 65 database will be displayed one at a time at a certain interval. Newly updated speech bubbles will overlap older ones, how loud the word is spoken also effects the size of it.

Professor: Leon Van Schaik, Tom Kovac, Sean Kelly, Alvin Low. The aim of this studio was to create a Research for the Venice Biennale. The research is based in the development of new ways of studying, taking advantage of the tools that the modern world has provided us. Synopsis: The emergence of virtual learning environments has revealed short-comings in the fundamental assumptions made about learning itself, chief amongst which has been the failure to base models on learning as a socially structured activity. The same can be said of the translation of research and enterprise practices into virtual environments. Expert solutions have been proposed that address technical refinements or information delivery models of learning and that do not answer the questions being asked by users, and their need to operate in communities of practice. The VIRTUAL CONCOURSE is an Innovation concept that unites researchers and product developers in the pursuit of a long term goal, and that enables the development and application of partial solutions to the needs of a wide range of clients who share a similar long term and evolving goal. The concept begins with user perceptions and requirements and embraces, like a Portuguese man-of-war, a colony of agents who work on processing and digesting the information that the concept draws into contention. This model is non-judgemental about participants, but provides a platform for change (Beer, 1975) on which people can engage at their own pace, and in the company of peers.

Floodplains
Professor: Mark Burry. Local competition for Architectural students. First Place awarded. (awarded with the entrance to the Homo Faber Exhibition at the Melbourne Museum). The aim of this course was to explore a concept connected with the topic of water and therefore to create an architectural project. For this project I worked and analyzed the evolution of floodplains for the development of a water Laboratory in the southern part of Melbourne. The main physical composition and elements of the floodplains are based on water flow and the eroded ground surface (which are called islands). Based on the studies and the abstraction of these 2 elements I defined rules and parameters for a better performance of the project. Analogies like structural elements, pedestrian flow & daylighting performance were some of the explored concepts that were studied during the process.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. Bruce Lee.

The aim of this project was to propose a system to challenge poverty, overpopulation and pollution in the Doctores Neighborhood. The people in Doctores Neighborhood are now confronted with big increases in density that continues to threaten their open spaces, (which is the most important quality of this area). The Project re purposes an idea to confront overpopulation by the cantilevering of units in to the faade. In this way I am creating an interesting architectural intervention and also I am creating more space for more families to live in. The building is created with sustainable technology and recycled materials.

Housing in Queretaro
Professor: Isaac Broid and Mauricio Rocha. Local competition for Architectural students, First place awarded. (Awarded with the Entrance to the Xochimilco National competition). This Project consisted on making a housing complex in Queretaro for people with low economical resources. A Residential building of 100 apartments with 64 SQ Mts each. The ground floor is designed with a public central plaza which provides interaction and social reunion for the local community. The faade generates public spaces on higher levels, and the entire project uses materials that surround the area. The faade in the higher levels has movable shutters that protects the apartments from the sun, and gives privacy to the users. It also generates movement to the project, and creates a more flexible & dynamic building.

Arquine Competition
International Competition, Mexico City 2009
Individual Participation in the Arquine Competition. The guidelines for this competition were to create an architectural intervention adjacent to the Satelite Towers (a highway sculpture constructed by Mathias Goeritz and Luis Barragn, fifty years ago). The program consisted in the development of educational facilities that incorporates: classrooms, studios, workshops & administration offices. Having in mind that most of the competitors would propose a ground level intervention (to respect the towers) I decided that catalyzing the area would be better by the construction of a ramp/building that not only expands the public space and generates social integration, but also has the courage & the intention to become an integral vertical element into our well respected historical towers.

Garden City
Concurso Oportunidades, Competition for architectural students in Mexico. Awarded Second place. This competition consisted in creating the most intelligent proposal for Mexico City. There wasnt a specific site or a specific theme. For this competition I started to map all the abandoned industries that are stocked in the middle of the city, and I proposed to use the potential of this sites to create the concept of garden cities. For that I followed the MVRDV BUGA Plant Intervention. Might be conceivable to construct a park, with no style of its own, where all elements of a garden, all the plants, even ell the styles are loosely linked together? The result will be a true garden neighborhood, not just a number of homes besides a strip of parkland. By positioning park-like elements, sport and recreational elements and buildings in a way that is unexpected and flexible, variety becomes an object in its own right: a pixel town where the boundaries between park and building become indistinct and where the building dissolves into a landscape of differences.

Client: Geometrica Developers. Office of Rafael Dana. Design Documents - Construction begins in 2012 Lilas Corporate is a mixed use project in Mexico City. The site is located in the border of Santa Fe and Lilas on a hillside topography with stunning views of the city. The Commercial and Office spaces wrap the perimeter of the site, forming an open courtyard. The project is divided into two interlaced towers that are planed to be constructed in two different phases. The main tower floats on an understated base of long, slender columns. Inside the structure is divided into single and double height spaces. The program is targeted to middle income firms that need to be close to the Santa Fe Financial District. The project is awaiting final permits to start the construction of the first phase.

El Faro de Oriente
National Competition, Mexico City 2008
University in Acapulco, El Faro de Oriente. Vivienda Emergente Competition. National Competition for architectural Students. This competition consisted in proposing a project based in recycled and prefabricated materials. The site is located in between a favela (slum) and a rich neighborhood that are not integrated. Taking the concept of filter and border I created a project that gives opportunity to both local communities with entertainment cultural activities and education. The Architecture of the project stands that the public space in this area would be the best solution for social integration. The project is constructed with a prefabricated concrete space frame and shipping containers. This intervention of units are not only recycled but also prefabricated, and gives flexibility to future changes. The result of the project was a variety of programs in 6 different buildings, several public plazas, and the access for the Favelas to the university, making them part of our everyday routine.

El diseo utiliza lo que ya existe, genera desarrollo, evolucin en zonas y reas de la red urbana.Creamos una matriz que es como la base de un sistema modular y la distorsionamos, as como la red de la ciudad es distorsionada. Diseamos la silueta de cinco bales o modulos, con diferentes altezas y superficies, crean la idea de la silueta de una calle urbana. Cada uno puede ser utilizado como se prefiere, puede ser rotado, girado, reflejado, en acuerdo con la matriz, y al mismo tiempo puede ser adaptada a cualquier lugar. Nuestro objetivo ero lo de crear un sistema fcilmente adaptable al Mercado de cada ciudad y cada estructura.

David Dana Cohen Propuesta:
Conservar sitios histricos y maximizar su potencial para desarrollos futuros. En este caso estoy proponiendo la preservacin del Puente de San Francisco-Oakland Bay y desencadenar una economa basada en oportunidades existentes en los alrededores. Teniendo en mente el objetivo de disear formas innovadoras de espacio, propongo un sistema de manufactura local y desarrollo en situ que integra una programa de artesana, agricultura y cultivo vertical. Flexibilidad, adaptabilidad, deploiability y prefabricacin, han sido algunos de los conceptos explorados para la creacin de esta promenade de arquitectura modular. En este particular contexto, he encontrado un gran potencial por el desarrollo local de comida y artesana. En mi experiencia personal, he encontrado en esta una regin llena de diversidad y creatividad, y en gran necesidad de expresin artstica. Contando con una grande cantidad de gente joven, me hizo pensar en la combinacin de ambos: cultivo vertical+artes y crafts, para el envisioning del proyecto.

Environmental design students assigned to envision new uses for the soon-to-beobsolete span of the Bay Bridge included Lan Hu, who proposed turning a portion of it into a futuristic hotel, reachable by ferry.
David Dana/UC Berkeley
It's a safe bet that most Bay Area residents view the eastern half of the Bay Bridge as an aged structure that can't be replaced soon enough. But a handful of designers see much more, an icon ready for a bold new life such as a working farm that shares the deck with a hotel. Or a park stretched atop long blocks of housing. Or a hotel shaped like the prow of an ocean liner. As fantastical as these notions sound, they're products of a recent graduate course at UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design. And the architects who conceived the semester-long studio say it starts with a valid question: Why demolish one of the Bay Area's most recognizable structures rather than retain at least some of it for public use?
"There's no reason it can't be transformed into something wondrous, a fusion of nature and the machine," said Frederic Schwartz, a New York architect who spent last fall as the college's Joseph Esherick Visiting Professor in Architecture. Schwartz, who studied at Cal in the 1960s under Esherick, is best known as a leader of the design team that was a runner-up in the competition to plan the new World Trade Center.

OUR PROFESSION
The park will span the full length of the top deck until just after the cantilever, where the old bridge will be cut short to make way for the new bridge. In the space between the existing top and bottom decks will be two stories of residential and commercial space. This is an inversion of the typical street, with the public park and circulation above and the retail and residential below. The park folds down below the top deck, funneling light and plants to the areas below.
