Pavilion 20160414_04
When designing the pavilion I plan to use the minimum essential elements to define a space without a specific use, build and disassemble quickly.
Three main elements: the modular wooden floor, wooden arches that support the fabric enclosure and enclosure.
The fabric may have different designs and colors to suit the environment.
The base or foundation can be packed dirt, cinder, etc. when we place on the ground or on a wooden raft when we place ourselves in the water.

PAVILION 160414_01
A “Pavilion” is a space
defined specifically for a non-specific purpose. This is a Pavilion for a
nap and read in any location you choose. This can be within your home,
backyard, on a tree, by a tree, on top of a hill, at the foot of a hill, by a
river, or floating on a river. Prefabricated. Disassembled
and reconstructed. Use wood as the main material.

Courtyard Houses 160130
We build because not all human activity can
take place outdoors. We need shelter from sun, wind, rain, and snow. We need
dry, level surfaces for our activities. Often we need to stack these surfaces
to multiply available space. On these surfaces, and within our shelter, we need
air that is warmer or cooler, more or less humid, than outdoors. We need less
light by day, and more by night, than is offered by the natural world. We need
services that provide energy, communications, and water and dispose of wastes.
So, we call buildings in an attempt to satisfy these needs.
Creating sustainable buildings requires that
one consider the sustainability of their technological and material elements,
resources, and environment. An element’s sustainability is measured by its
durability, maintenance level, and recyclability. Economic issues related to
its construction, profitability, and building stock value should also be
considered. Resource sustainability can be measured based on its site condition,
cost-effectiveness of the operational and life cycle of the building,
accessibility, and favorable natural forces. Finally, creating healthy,
habitable, and safe environments with social and institutional capacity should
be the primary focus for environmental sustainability. The architect’s
challenge, therefore, is to find a balance among technological and materials
considerations, resource availability, and environmental sustainability.
I focus on functional and ecologically
sensitive building by conserving space and preserving the environment.
I’m using durable, low-maintenance, recyclable,
and economical materials and technologies. Multi-ply boards’ panels’ plywood can
be used for external cladding, even in severe weather conditions, or internal linings.
The high load-carrying capacity of such boards makes them suitable for load bearing
applications as well. Materials and technologies consist of low-emission, non pollutant
elements with low manufacturing impacts.

MUSEUM AAM & MCF
We join
both museums through the joint ball.
Its main
elements:
- The flat
cover, consisting in two layers, each one following each cover attached to each
of the museums.
- The
lightening defined by the different level of the two layers, directed in its
path by the plant inner ramp communication.
- The
significant entry porch, its vertical planes organize the attached outer space
bar, fitting inside the layout of the ramp and accompanies the access road to
the interior. The large glazed surface with its doors illuminates the interior.
- The
internal ramp, which connects the access level to the levels of each of the
museums, determines its lobby space with store and warehouse under it.
The
materials - concrete, ceramic, glass and wood - are similar to those used in
existing buildings, although with a somewhat different treatment.
I think I
have achieved an inclusive, harmonious, organic and simple solution.
