Dr. Kennedy Design X
The project was to design a low-income housing complex in
Homes the heart of Fort Lauderdale. The site’s surroundings and it’s
historic background provided for a great starting point.
The challenge was to take advantage of all the already
public amenities around, while at the same time give the
future residents a sense of belonging.
6. The idea behind the design was to create a project which would reflect the history of the site. By mixing
both, the natural history; the everglades, and the man-made history; the old Dr. Kennedy Homes, the
design started to unfold. The vistas that cut through the site, and the clustering of the units, are derived by
the previous architecture, while the movement, transition and connections are inspired by the everglades.
The design is intended to improve the connection between the neighborhood and Broward Boulevard,
which is the gateway into the city. The paths of the site are designed in order to create a pleasant and
beautiful transition, just as the everglades flows from Lake Okeechobee to the Miami Bay, the people
passing through the site will go from a small neighborhood to a big city.

Las Olas Blvd Design IX
A 3 people project which had as an objective to improve
Master Plan + the whole corridor of Las Olas Bvld. from the heart of
downtown to the beach front. After doing so, we had to
Mix-Use Building pick a lot within the master plan and design a structure
responding to the site and the master plan. Before we
embarked on this project, we did a lot of field research
of what was and was not working on the corridor, plus
we looked at future issues that could affect the area.
11. Our objective was to provide every different sector of the corridor with useful and well though out
amenities, connections, parks, among others, that would be consistent giving it a unique atmosphere.
One of the main things we worried about, was to make it walkable, so small urban pockets were provided
at approximately 5 minutes walks apart. Another big change was to make the area of “Las Olas Blvd.
Shops” totally pedestrian by closing the flow of automotive traffic.
The idea behind the tall mix-use building on the beach front was to give an end to the corridor. The ground
provides public areas related to the beach, while hiding the parking on top. Residences were designed on
the top floors in order to locate the rapidly growing population of Las Olas Blvd.

Tater Town Design IX
For this project we worked in groups of 3, and we had the task
Master Plan + of designing a master plan for Boulevard Gardens; referred as
Tater Town by the locals, and to re-imagine and expand on an
Mix-Use Building existing farmers market within the master plan, while following
the codes and regulations for the area. This low income
neighborhood had no identity plus the public amenities within
and around it felt disconnected.
15. The driving force for the design was to reconnect and emphasise the important amenities available in the
area. Interconnecting linear parks allowed us to redefine how people would move through the
community, while providing them with easier and faster access to important areas. These large green and
much needed areas would not only serve as circulation, but would be useful space for many activities.
The owner of the existing farmers market, wanted a multi-storey mix-use building to be design on his site.
The “L” shaped lot allowed us to give emphasis to the market area which would welcome the pedestrians.
Skinny duplexes were designed with the intention to provide a more playful view which could potentially
help give a sense of place not only to the market, but to the whole community.

Ft. Lauderdale Design VIII
The project was to design a drama theater right
Drama Theater next to a historic house (Stranahan House) in Fort
Lauderdale. The program required seating for at
least 500 people. The site was located in front of the
New River, which gave a beautiful backdrop. The
inspiration for the project had to be taken from any
ecosystem present in Florida.
19. Taking the everglades and the alligators as inspiration, helped me obtain at the end of the semester the
strongest concept of the class. “Gator Hole (Dry season)” depicts an alligator hole/pool full of life, while it’s
surroundings are bare. “Alligator Vertebrae” shows the contrast of the strong vertebrae, yet fragile
appearance, of the animal’s rib cage.
In order to represent this fragile ecosystem through architecture, folding planes and skinny fractured
columns were used. The ground level of the site, is public and open to the air, except for the entrances
which lead to the Main (2nd) floor. The enclosed theater area is surrounded with open air terraces roofed
with dramatic falling and folding planes. These create various spaces with different perspectives to the city.

Student Union Design VII
Throughout the whole semester we did 5 different
3rd Iteration iterations of a student union building for FAU. The lot
was between a 12 story building (FAU) and a 7 story
parking garage. The program for this project was
very broad, including retail, dinning, classrooms,
offices, a gallery, and even some living areas for the
students of the University.
23. For the 3rd iteration of this project the intention was to create a strong connection between the different
layers of uses that were required by the program. The structure was designed in order to follow the rigid
urban grid present in Fort Lauderdale, but the “box” will be carved out towards the front (East side faces
other FAU buildings) so that the internal layers of the building could be revealed.
The big atrium, which created the main space of the strucuture, allowed for people to be connected and
have cross-views of all the floors. Therefore, during class time or high traffic hours the building public areas
would come alive with people talking from one floor to another, or just watching the flow of students. More
private terraces, were also provided on the back and sides of the building for activities such as studing.

Drawings for an art project called FLOW, which is to be
County Courthouse: incorporated into the new Fort Lauderdale County
Courthouse breezeway, were done and developed by
Breezeway me. I was also involved in the making of some
schematic 3D images. These conceptual images were
presented to the city of Fort Lauderdale for revision
and approval of the project.
28. Diagram of angle study
Museum of Glavovic Studio
For this project I had a small task, it was to develop a
Art Fort Lauderdale: 3D model of the sign, in order to study and find the best
angle for the leave. The importance of this angle was
Sign because of the shadow that the sign will cast, while at
the same time having the letters be legible for the
pedestrians. There are currently 3 signs at the Museum
of Art Fort Lauderdale.

Plastic Moment 2011
This was a group project which was designed in
FAU Charette and presented in 5 days. The idea was to create
an intervention on the FAU plaza which used
recyclable materials and represented the whole
university. Our project won the charette and has
been built twice since, once for a fundraiser and
once for Artwalk.
36. Moving Threshold end Inspiration
Moving Color, material, space class
The inspiration for this contruct was “dripping paint” (which was my
Threshold
Construct
previous project for the class). The idea was to create a 3D space
following the same principle. The “paint”, in this case the strips, start
to twist and turn while creating the space to then, at the end stop
just as paint on a canvas.

As students, we were required to design layouts
Samples for many presentations. The following are some
samples from those presentations which show
the ability to express ideas graphically.
