4. Rehabilitation C t f di bl d hild
R h bilit ti Center for disabled children (DEOBRA ltda.)
ltd )
Located in the north of Bogota, it was designed with another architect under the supervision of the Principal. The 20,000 sq ft program consists of a Clinic, School, Water therapy area,
Gym, Accommodation for 20 students and Sports Center, divided in 2 volumes that intersect at the main hall.

5. New Clinic for the ‘Hospital Militar Central’ (DEOBRA ltda.)
Part of the year 2015 Hospital’s expansion plan, it would include a new orthopedics floor, two different specialty floors for rent, and commercial spaces in the first floor.
Part of the year 2020 Hospital’s expansion plan, a small boutique hotel targeted to health tourism as an additional service for the Hospital’s main surgeries.

6. New Cafeteria for the ‘Hospital Militar Central’ (DEOBRA 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.

7. New Library and Master Plan for the ‘Universidad Catolica’
(Jorge Gutierrez Arquitecto)
The university required a 20 year master plan for its physical growth. Among the general proposals, I participated in the schematic design of two buildings: The new Library and the new
Classrooms building.
New Waiting rooms for the ‘Hospital Militar Central’ (DEOBRA ltda.)
For Colombia’s biggest and most important military hospital, I worked in the Located in a narrow lot in a city in the north of Colombia, it

shapes and colors with a minimum intervention of the existing landmark.

8. Stadium Renovation competition ‘El Campin’ (Steven Morales B.Arch, M.Arch, M.S.A.A.D)
The 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, subtle and light, contrary to its current image - seeking a less aggressive image with its immediate environment, given its proximity to
a dense urban and residential environment.
Both schools where 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.

determined the new mixed structure. it movement , rhythm and depth.

10. Imbricaciones Urbanas (degree project)
For 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 expressways. The buildings
themselves seek an organic link between two disjointed areas along 26th Avenue.

11. Imbricaciones Urbanas (degree project)
An overlap between different uses was proposed allowing a continuous habitation in space and time; through
office buildings, apartments, an hotel, a mall and an exhibition center, as well as a significant plaza located
directly over 26th Avenue in a place that otherwise would not be habitable as it is designed for cars and not
pedestrians.

12. 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 lobby’s hall.
Enigma Bar (academic project)

13. ‘Santo Domingo’s’ Public Library (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
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.

14. Student’s housing (academic project)
Located in Cartagena in the Colombian Caribbean. Designed with two other students, it was proposed for 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.
