A researched in health delivery was
performed and analyzed as a way
to understand and developed a new
conceptual design.
The existing medical facility in Austin is
located in the Waterloo district, school,
government and commercial buildings
neighbor the site.
The site has potential to connect both
sides of the city, which are divided by a
major highway that runs in between the
medical district and the residential side
of the city.

HEALTHCARE:
2035 CONSUMERED BASED
Goal: To analyze the trends in healthcare
design, explore the relationship between
health and the built environment and
develop a conceptual scheme for the
future of the health facilities.

5. 5
In 2035 health services, will be
consumer-based since the advances in
technology will extend the options for
all patients.
The accessibility to the internet and
wearable technology will change the
way the medical facilities operate
Furthermore, medical records will be
able to quickly synchronize by scanning
and uploading patient’s information into
the cloud, and a new patient journey will
emerge in the healthcare field.
Technologies will reduce the inpatient
traffic and will also accelerete the
process and steps during a patient’s
doctor visit.

communal open spaces created by the sunken
garden. Top: Austin’s population dempographic

6. 6
A new patient journey will emerge and
the way to provide healthcare services
will not only involve digital check ins and
live waiting time updates, but it will also
include the doctor’s use of wireless tech-
nology and telecommunications, such as
tele-medicine consultations, electronic
medical records and digital devices.
In the new facility, patients will check
in at the welcome center at the digital
screens, this will reduce the medical
steps at the doctors visit, by releasing
stress, both in patients and medical staff.
In order to help patients, visitors and us-
ers of the facility to find their way through
the building. Digital interactive maps will
help and guide individuals through their
visit. Also, floor levels feature different
colors in the floors acting as way-finding
strategy.

screens. Top: Evolution of the patient’s journey
through different decades.

Relaxing and lounge spaces are
incorporated trough out the facility
to release the tension and stress in
patient’s and medical staff.
Art galleries activate a faster healing
process in patients and outdoor
lounges serve for relaxation and
entertainment for their guests.
Not only relaxing spaces accelerate the
healing process, but also active spaces
promote a more suitable healing and
learning environment.

Visitors, patients and medical staff can
grab a refreshing juice or snack from
the juice bar or education kitchen, in
which the community can learn about
nutrition and health.
Not only the first level serves as a
welcoming center for the clinic, but
also serves as a community center in
where the Austin population is engaged
in several learning activities to prevent
serious illness.

EDUCATION: SCHOOL
OF ARCHITECTURE
RENOVATION
Goal: To bring the the school
community together by incorporating
new gathering spaces in which student
work can be display.
The existing stand-alone building
in where architecture classes are
taught, is a converted thirty five year
old commercial office building. Since
this building was adapted for the
architecture school, there is a lack of
gathering spaces in where students
can display their work and relax.
The simple push-pull strategy and the
module addition shaped the geometry
of the renovation of the school.
The addition of a two story gallery and
a sunk-in pavilion give the school a
new space in where student work and
art exhibits can be hold.
The new student lounge and cafe give
the students a space in where they
can interact and relax.

COMMUNITY: GENERATION
Z LEARNING CENTER
Goal: To rethink active learning
spaces and re-imagine the learning
environment for the new millennial
generation. To renovate and integrate
technology on an existing building.
Most education and learning facilities
inadequately support student
engagement and learning retention,
with new technologies and the different
characteristics of the millennial
generation, the learning environments
are reinvented in this project.
To execute design decisions the
characteristics of the millennial
generation were studied. The design
solution for a learning environment
propose the incorporation of
technologies in an ideal classroom
size in where a group of students could
interact, engage and improve their
outcomes.
According to the millennial
characteristics, the technology
innovations and the new methods on
teaching and learning; the space and
programming for the learning center
are dived in three types. Enclave
spaces serve for student engagement,
moreover, focus spaces allow for
private and deep studying and
fostering spaces serve for one-on-
one learning between students and
professors.
Below: Main entrance with digital walls, in which lectures or information
can be display. Above: Research key points for millennials behaviors
interacting with technology
Technologies will not only allow for
smart boards and online lessons,
but the innovations on wireless
technology will allow for remote
teaching and on-the-go classes via
online. Wireless technologies and
connectivity will allow the access
to 24/7 teaching lessons on the
on-the-go, and this would result on
an improvement of the student’s
learning retention.
The new learning center will
have the function to connect the
community by enhancing not only
the learning experience, but also the
individual’s social relationships.

MIX USE: PHOTOGRAPHER
LOFT
Goal: To achieve comfort and privacy
on the roof top of a building in
downtown San Antonio by separating
and blending business space and
personal space.
The 300sqft loft was design for a young
photographer, his needs included a
fully equipped indoor portrait studio
where he could perform solo sessions,
post-edit, develop his work after hours
and spend time watching films.
The distribution of the space emerged
from the idea of the shotgun houses
within a long-narrow axis.
Below: Roof top loft approaching entrance with sliding doors open. Top:
Business, after hours and sleeping loft plan drawings.

The transformability and flexibility of the
space is achieve by sliding surfaces.
Two sliding doors open into an
outdoor lobby, where the customer
sits on a bench while waiting for
the photographer. Folding walls are
recessed into the roof. The sliding
glass roof hides under the pocket roof
creating an outdoor space within inside
the loft.
The kitchen cabinetry was designed
to pop-up as in the ship cabinets with
a hinged mechanism, this makes the
kitchen more appealing for the client
and hides the appliances inside the
cabinets.
The kitchen bar extends out when the
window is rolled down into a concave
wall, creating a bar top connecting to
the outdoor patio.

FURNITURE EXPLORATION:
STITCHED TABLE
Objective: To use half of a pallet’s
wood to build a side table. Explore
wood assembly methods, and material
finishes.
Above: Pallet wood and the frame assembled through the tongue and
grove method. Top: Table final construction, top surface was weaved
and stitched with heavy duty string.
The stitched table is assembled by
groove cuts and wood fitting bondings.
The least amount of hardware was
intended for the assembly of this piece.
The top wide frame is made out of 4
wood pieces with grooves. Its assembly
was intended to be pressure fitted
between each groove, however some
glue was used to have a tighter fit.
The slim legs contrast with the wider top
of the frame. They are not only screwed
to the bottom of the base, but also they
are glued to the grooves on the top wider
frame.
The top surface is made out of heavy
duty nylon string and it was stitched
from side to side trough per-drilled
holes on the very top of the top frame.
Once the stitched pattern was created a
transparent plexi glass sheet sits on top
of the frame.

VOLUNTEER WORK: MAKE
A WISH PROJECT
Project in partnership with the Make a
Wish Foundation, Objective: To design
a little girl’s dream room where she can
spend time with her friends by remod-
eling her family’s garage.
Above: Before and after pictures of the unfinished garage.
This was a four month long project in
where IIDA SACC professionals teamed
up with Interior Design students in
order to design and remodel a little
girl’s dream room.
Interior design professionals and
students were in charged of the design
of the new space.
Students interviewed her client and
they started brainstorming for the
design of the room.
After four months of construction, the
final room came to live at the end of
march 2015.
