| MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL | DE OBRA LTDAPart of the year 2015 Hospital’s expansion plan a new proposed building would include a new orthopedics floor, two different specialty floors for rent, and commercial spaces in the ground floor. It was intented to create a new design language for the hospital and its future projects.Part of the year 2020 Hospital’s expansion plan, a small boutique hotel was proposed (right) targeted to health tourism as an additional service for the Hospital’s main surgeries.

| PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION | DE OBRA LTDAFor Colombia’s biggest and most important military hospital, I worked in the design of the public waiting rooms among other spaces. The concept was to make a warmer and more comfortable space for customers trough textures, basic shapes and colours with a minimum intervention of the existing landmark.

| DESIGN PROPOSAL | DE OBRA LTDA.Designed with another architect in the office, it’s located over an existing plaza in the middle of the hospital. The main concept was to put the lightest building (visually and structurally) over the plaza. The roof is intended to be viewed from the 14 floors of the Hospital’s main tower.

| PROPOSAL PROJECT | JORGE GUTIERREZ ARQUITECTOThe university required a 20 year master plan for its physical growth. Among the general master plan proposals, I participated in the schematic design of two buildings: The new Library and the new Classrooms building.

| COMPETITION PROJECT | STEVEN MORALES ARQUITECTOThe idea comes from the image of the Savanna surrounded by clouds, where the stadium is a diffused plateau that stands in its context, respectful and subtle despite its mass and size. We wanted to present the stadium as a landmark, delicate and light, contrary to its current image - seeking a less aggressive image

| COMPETITION PROJECTS | STEVEN MORALES ARQUITECTOThree schools were thought the most flexible as possible. Being able to let the local communities use the cultural and recreation spaces during any hour without affecting its safety or normal operation.

| BUILT PROJECTS | JG ARCHITECTS NEW YORK CITYDuring my architecture studies, I had a one year placement in a New York City firm. Worked as part of the design team in different projects, such as the Epsilon Offices and Building lobby in Manhattan, the Braunstein residence in Brooklyn, and the Cuban Art Space, an art gallery in Manhattan. In these projects I worked doing responses to RFP’s / RFQ’s, Feasibility Studies, Projects’ Programmes and Schedules, client meetings and the CAD drawings for the different phases of the projects. Working in a competitive international environment, I developed the ability of working under pressure for high demanding clients and projects.

MISSION OF| BUILT PROJECTS | JG ARCHITECTS NEW YORK CITY The main projects I worked on from the proposal until the final stages were the Permanent Mission of Barbados to the United Nations and General Consulate in Manhattan. In these projects I worked doing responses to RFP’s / RFQ’s, Feasibility Studies, Projects’ Programmes and Schedules, client meetings and the CAD drawings for the different phases of the projects. Working in most of the phases gave me the opportunity to develop excelent relations with both client and engineers.

| BUILT PROJECT | INDEPENDENT WORKDesign of a CNC workshop for heavy parts, located in a town near Bogota. The client (an important gravel company) required abundant daylight and to use recycled structure parts from another building, like concrete columns and metal joists; which determined the new mixed structure.

| PROPOSAL PROJECT | INDEPENDENT WORKLocated in a narrow lot in a city in the north of Colombia, it was designed for a private developer to minimize construction times through prefabricated elements and repetitive structural units. It consists mostly of duplex apartments with all its rooms with external views, and excellent sun exposure.

| UNBUILT PROJECT | INDEPENDENT PROJECTDesign of a 5 stories apartment building in the north of Bogota for a private developer. With 3 types of apartments per floor and 2 penthouses. An exposed concrete element integrates the whole façade giving it movement , rhythm and depth.

| ACADEMIC PROJECT | DEGREE PROJECTFor my degree project I proposed a model of ‘urban overlapping’ (inhabited bridges) in downtown Bogota generating units of habitable links between urban areas and systems disjointed by motorways. The buildings themselves seek an organic link over motorways in a resemblance to middle age’s inhabited bridges over rivers.

26

| ACADEMIC PROJECT | DEGREE PROJECTAn overlap between different uses was proposed, allowing a continuous occupancy in space and time. Through office towers, flats, an hotel, a mall and an exhibition centre, it would create not only a physical connection between two sides, but an innovative live urban link.

28

| ACADEMIC PROJECT | DEGREE PROJECTA significant plaza located directly over the motorway creates a pedestrian friendly space in a place that otherwise would not be habitable. Pedestrian spaces could recover car oriented infrastructure not only for a more efficient use of land, but for better urban life.

| ACADEMIC PROJECT |Located in Bogota’s bar area it’s designed for tree different experiences in different floors. The vertical circulation is the main articulator functionally and formally. It has tree different entrances that cross each other spatially in the main hall.

SANTO DOMINGO | ACADEMIC PROJECT |Located in Bogota and designed with another student. The program is separated in two main spiral buildings, related trough the public space. One above grade for reading, research and storage of digital buildings, related trough the public space. One above grade for reading, research and storage of digital and printed information and other for complementary cultural activities like auditoriums and multiple media rooms. The internal programs are developed trough spirals around inner central spaces.

| ACADEMIC PROJECT |Located in Cartagena in the Colombian Caribbean. Designed with two other students, it was proposedfor the expansion of an existing colonial house. The shapes of the buildings and the patios are conceived in a contemporary language that doesn’t try to copy the existing buildings, presenting instead a reinterpretation of the colonial architecture (materials, elements and spaces) in a more dynamic way.HO
