Architecture PortfolioManuel Muñoz
2016
I was born in Balcarce, a small town in the Argentinian countryside. I became interested in architecture at an early age and, when I turned 18, I moved to the big city and began studying at the University of Buenos Aires, the best in Latin Amer-ica according to the latest QS World University Rankings 2016/2017 study.
As part of my carreer, I was able to successfully design various projects with many different program requirements. From churches to housing complexes and from museums to hospitals. Thanks to this, I developed design versatility, and learned to do small self conducted field researches that would make evident the needs of every project I worked on.
In the late years of my carreer, I was part of an historical research project that led to my publication of “Transformación de un barrio: Cervecería Palermo / Alto Palermo Shopping” (Transformation of a neighborhood: Palermo Brewery / Alto Palermo Shopping Mall).
In 2013 I began writing Taller 9, an architecture and design magazine aimed to provide reading material to students. As a part of this projects, I was able to interview some of the most renowned architects and artists from my country, such as Clorindo Testa and Cesar Pelli.
I completed my Autodesk Revit training in 2014, and intro-duced the firm I currently work for to the use of BIM software.
Since 2014, I’m working as a draftsman for BMA Architects and Asociates, one of the largest firms in Argentina.
I worked as an General Morphology Assistant Professor between 2012 and 2013.
Along with some colleagues and friends, founded Taller 9, an architecture and design magazine in 2013.
I volunteered for Special Olympics Argentina between 2005 and 2010.
I completed my degree in architecture in February 2016 at the University of Buenos Aires.
ABOUT ME
Located in La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina, this pavilion required a non-enclosed surface of aproximately 100 m2, that would be used as a cafe during the day, and as a forum for learning and displaying art by night.
Inspired by the location and the subject, I designed a pavilion based on Benito Quinquela Martín’s work, one of the most impor-tant Argentinian painters, who often featured La Boca’s old port, surrounded with lots of boats and people working on the coal yards.
As the budget for the design was very limited, one of the main ideas was to use recovered materials from shipyards and demoli-tions in the area. This would not only reduce the construction costs, but also lower its enviromental impact on one of the most polluted areas in the city.

Choosing the site, a vacant lot right across the river from the Benito Quinquela Martin Museum and the PROA Foundation, was an easy task.
Adding a cultural building to the Riachuelo’s east margin, would establish a cultural triangle between the Quinquela Martín Museum and the PROA Foundation, reducing the educational gap in one of the poorest and most relegated areas in the city, boosting its economy and integrating it to the city’s cultural circuit.

CONCEPCIÓNCHAPEL
The site was a large extension of lush green grass, lots of trees and clear sky in Luján, a small town on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
The project called for a small chapel that would congregate people from the surrounding areas for service, and also serve as venue for weddings, communions and baptisms.
Both the location and the program, were an invitation to create a special, secluded, private place, where people could really feel their connection to God.
Inspired by these ideas, I designed a space that would enclose the mystic aura of a coven within the modern lines of todays architec-ture, creating a warm enviroment for worship, dominated by light.
CONCEPCIÓNCHAPEL

The program was comprised of a small seating area, that would accomodate regulars, and a standing area for special events. It also needed a baptistery, and an office for the priest.
The plan is based on an extremely simple flow diagram, that connects the two parts of the building with the exterior, not only physically, but also visually, centering the attention on the strokes of light coming from outside.

STUDENTHOMES
An architectural competition was held to develop a concept for a rental-free apartment complex for students on the long aban-doned foundations of what was planned to be a building for the Buenos Aires University City.

Located in the center of the Buenos Aires University City, the site is perfect for keeping it’s inhabitants immersed in a student atmosphere, with the ability to quickly access the library, class-rooms, and cultural and sports centers located within the campus.
At the same time, it’s relation with the city allows for an exchange with the different educational and recreational institutions in the area.
SITE
03
The University City is a complex area surrounded by woods on the northern side and a highway on it’s south.
Built in the late 60’s, it was originally planned to have five build-ings, each housing a different school, but it’s construction was interrupted during the military dictatorship in 1976, leaving only three complete buildings and the foundations for a fourth.

The project had low budget and needed a large quantity of homes, so naturally, the first desicions to make were the size of the houses, the fabrication process, and the cost of transportation.
The design process for this prototype started with an investigation on the different technologies available in the country, to determine which one offered the best performance at the lowest cost.
One of the best options was the sandwich panel, a prefabricated plate with high insulation, but requiring high maintenance and longer on-site construction time.
Other great option was to repurpose shipping containers. These came with a durable, fully customizable shell, with the possibility to be insulated and modified at an off-site workshop and then delivered to their final location. Also, they could be stacked up to four stories high without needing an auxiliary structure. The choice was made.
DESIGN PROCESS
•High insulation rate•Easy installation
•Higher maintenance cost•On site fabrication only•Slightly higher cost
PROS & CONS
SANDWICH PANEL
•No maintenance cost•Easy off-site fabrication•Really cheap•Easy transportation•Is not tied to construction laws because it can’t be considered permanent housing•Does not need any auxiliary structure•Can be stacked•Standarized
•Slightly lower insulation rate•Limited size
SHIPPING CONTAINER
In conjunction to the use of the shipping contain-er as framework, the concept of sanitary wall was also applied to the housing prototype.
The installation-dedicated walls served not only to make a better use of the space, but also to help easing the connection between the houses and the main power and water pipelines.

With a tight budget, I had to think of a way to minimize the construction costs. So, instead of stacking the containers traditionally, they where shifted 1/3 of the length. This provided room for circulation without the need of aditional structure, and as the bathroom and kitchen are located just above the gap, it is possible to access the installations from outside the containers,
STACKING
TECHNICALDRAWINGS
In 2015, I had the oportunity to lead the design of an expansion for a shopping mall my com-pany had built back in 2006 in San Justo, a suburb west of Buenos Aires.
The clients wanted an open plaza with retail venues on the first two floors, and a small building on top, containing a clinic and some offices, with independent access. On an under-ground floor, they needed a carpark with room for about 30 cars and the machine rooms.

AS PART OF THE BMA ARQUITECTOS ASOCIADOS PRACTICE
2016
My job was to join my boss in the design of the venues, offices and the plaza. I was responsi-ble for delivering concept drawings, render imagery and plans in a timely manner, and sometimes I’d had to interact with the clients.
These images were produced using AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, VRay, and Photoshop.
