About Me:
I recently received a M.Arch from Hampton University, VA. I am from Guaynabo City, PR. I never contemplated Architecture as a career path, but here I am!

"Architecture is not just a nice rectangle on a page, is the essence of the idea. When a building or idea is well analyzed and organized becomes Architecture. For me, architecture is the interpretations of architectural concepts through the eyes of the designer."

CONCLUSION

After all these weeks of investigation it is difficult to think it is time to look back and make sense of all in a holistic way. I started creating three street sections (see appendices pages 92, 93 & 94) that showed (1) the existing challenges that Norvella Heights face to be accessible, (2) a diagrammatical section with possible solutions for those challenges, and (3) the location of the access spaces that need to be redesigned for accessibility. Using this section I was able to establish… Continue

THE REALIZATION

Time to back track...When looking at my work development I realized I have some areas that needed more consideration. The other day I had a magic realization: I was trying to redevelop the Norvella Heights neighborhood. Now, I understand the big picture. I need to use the neighborhood as a guideline to design the intrinsic elements that will create an intergenerational neighborhood. I have to study the relationships of the area to determine the needs of the community based on accessibility. Then… Continue

FINALLY AT MIDTERMS: The Discussion of the Revision

First, I have to apologize for not keeping my promise. I was to busy discovering the neighborhood that I was not able to update the website as I will like to. I did write my findings, but did not post them. With that said…now, I am going to give you a summary of the last 5 weeks. Therefore, it is going to be long; sorry, comprehensive.

After writing my previous reflective essays I moved to work with the units and their relationship to accessibility. I went around the neighborhood and took pictu… Continue

A PLAN FOR MIDTERMS: The Revision

After three weeks of joy and one of creative effort I think it is time to get back to thesis work. I used the break to meditate about the changes and clarifications my work needed. I can honestly say, I am pretty happy with the fall semester outcome, but I want to push my thesis further. I consider it has a potential that needs to be developed and bound.
