This is the first version of my personal portfolio. Includes a set of drawings, sketches, pictures, modeling, 3D creation and more. It is still under construction and I am currently working on the graphic design and incorporation of my recent work. Keep tune in because the released version is coming on soon. Thank you all.

BEAUTY OF
PROPORTIONGary Meisner, in a series of articles on “The Golden Ratio”/”Golden section” explains the rela-
tionship between a number, which is considered as a divine proportion, and several examples
of ancient and modern buildings. How buildings keep a tight bond between each of its compo-
nents and how that characteristic is translated as a “beauty”.
Apparently “The Golden Ratio”/”Golden section” it is a ratio known as a Phi () equivalent to
1.618 and it has been used by the mankind for centuries and perhaps expounds the greatest
of certain edifications and civilizations. Buildings such as the Pyramids, the Parthenon, the
Notre dame and Taj Mahal are good examples of the use of the golden Ratio and why some
theories imply perfection an supernatural intelligence out of this world.
Outrageously awesome that number it is naturally found in the nature, as a simple presenta-
tion of God creation; The number defines several proportion on the human’s body parts, be-
tween size of planets and satellites, leaves and branches along the stems of plants and of
veins in leaves and many others. Interestedly the numbers has been fascination of study for
several brilliant mathematicians in the history of humanity.

It is not a matter of chance, buildings were purposely thought to
be designed considering the phi ratio, as per nature the ratio pro-
vides beauty and balance in the design. For instance, Notre
Dame in Paris a building that clearly shows the proportion be-
tween each of its levels and components.
The Taj Mahal, undoubtedly a master piece in architecture, it is by

far a perfect example of not only golden proportions, but sym-
metry as well. Therefore, what we perceive as aesthetically
pleasing. Proportion between height, wide, deep and size of
protuberating and doors and windows are in the limit of per-
fection.
The Parthenon in Athens, it is one of the first documented
buildings that met the golden proportion. Euclid in his 13
Books of the Elements cited: “a straight line is said to have
been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line
is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the less” (Vol
6). That was the Greek first representation of the golden ratio.
Lastly, it could be said that the golden proportion in architec-
ture, as it is in nature, is synonymous of the simplest and
unique means of BEAUTY.

Solar/Sun Path Diagrams
Resourceful tool to trace the path of the sun depending on
the location on the earth surface. Measured from the Ecuador
line together north of southern latitudes the solar path dia-
gram varies every single degree , and the closest to the Ec-
uador line even the length of the days and the most perpen-
dicular of the sun rays on the earth surface.
It’s called a passive solar design.
The importance of the solar study is infinite. And the most im-
portant are: Energy savings, shadow casting, Natural lighting
and views.
Architects design maximizing the use of solar source of light
and heat. This approach leads to more environment and sus-
tainable projects, more energy-responsible developments and
healthy environment for the occupants, that include comfort
and phycology and mental health.

house in June 21 located in Scarborough, Ontario. The pictures show the solar
path and specific shadow at 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
