I am an Architect and Designer based in Los Angeles, originally from Mexico City. My educational journey began at the American School Foundation, where I developed a strong foundation in both English and Spanish. In 2019, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a bachelors degree at SCI-ARC (Southern California Institute of Architecture). After an enriching five-year, I graduated in spring 2024, having engaged with some of the most innovative minds in design and architecture. During my studies, I was fortunate enough to indulge myself in a very unique environment, learning about the future of the field as well as other interesting themes that fostered my curiosity and passion. The program also allowed me to master various cutting-edge modeling programs which contributed to my skills in 3D Modeling and pysical model making. I am committed to designing spaces that are both innovative and highly responsive to their context. As an architect, I prioritize being a visionary while maintaining a strong social consciousness about how architecture can impact the world. I am eager to contribute my skills and insights to a dynamic team and continue growing as a professional in a collaborative environment.

TARTU CULTURAL CENTER

    THESIS STATEMENT

    Tartu Cultural Center

    Investigating the relationship between two-dimensional representation and the built environment, this project focuses on the transformative potential of collage as a tool, enabling the translation between conceptual possibilities and physical spaces. By stitching sampled forms together, the building becomes an exploration of the nature of the seam and its implications in three dimensions. Through this transformation, the physical space of the building becomes a transition between architectural seams which allow the contrast of fragmented spaces to come together in a building. The stitching process reveals moments of coherence as well as moments of disruption between forms and textures. Applying this two dimensional technique into the built environment, and sampling forms derived from different case studies, the building results in a new interpretation of a two dimensional space.


    Instead of looking for a seamless joinery between parts, this study attempts to embrace the diversity of forms and textures into a building. The seams between parts resist the urge to become unified, maintaining the recognizable fragments as a form of resistance to AI image creation which seeks to be seamless. A cultural center, a space where different cultures come together, is the perfect opportunity to test this project for both its spatial possibilities and programmatic needs to which have been resolved through the stitching process. The project attempts to promote the richness and diversity that the cultural center seeks to achieve.

    5A Anthropology Museum

      Reflection on Coy Howard's Vertical Studio

      The proposal for an anthropology museum in the neighborhood of Silver Lake in Los Angeles, is meant to embrace the sensory experience through the building, creating unique spaces and connections. The use of heavy materials and bold geometries creates a seamless flow between galleries. By incorporating themes such as spezzatura, visual movement, and coherency, the project fosters an ongoing sense of withholding curiosity and prolonging engagement.

       

      In the fourth-year vertical studio led by Coy Howard, we focused on crafting sensory experiences through design. Guided by themes such as spezzatura, geometric coherence, and visual movement, our goal was to engage and sustain the user’s curiosity within the spaces, while meticulously considering details and material qualities. The two projects—The Bathhouse and The Museum—represent two semesters of exploration within these themes.
