- 5. THESIS Doorway of the Historical District of Valencia 5 ArchitectBachelorDegreeProjects YEAR OF DESIGN: 2015 LOCATION: Historical District ofValencia-Venezuela SIZE: 13.100 square meters The overall objective of this proposal was to design a Convention Center within the proposed urban renewal area in the city of Valencia-Carabobo, Venezuela. According to the ordinances and current state laws, with the aim of providing attractive spaces. The purpose of this project was to provide job opportunities for the industry and users of the sector and the city, becoming the starting point to stimulate the tourism, economy and commercial activities in the sector. The Doorway, was determined by the design of a Convention Center based on a unified two block complex, which is specifically represented by a draft project of a 4 star Hotel and an Office Tower. The Hotel project was presented as a draft during the 9th semester; while the Office Tower was entirely developed during the 10th semester and both presented as a whole for thesis basis.
- 6. 6 As located near the Subway Valencia Station “Cedeño”, the “Constitución” Boulevard and the entrance to the Historical District, the project seeks to concentrate masses through the creation of a large urban space as an access; created for the comfortable path of the pedestrians, visitors and Subway users. The design concept was based in drawing angles with the intention of creating spaces represented by open spaces to connect each side of the city (Historical with Industrial); the broader North side represents the newer Valencia city. VERTICAL CIRCULATION / MUSEUM TALLEST BUILDINGS SMALLEST BUILDINGS COMPLEMENTARY USES Volumetrically the project adapt its form to different heights depending on its immediate context, in order to generate citywide balances. In each side responds to diverse needs; the North represents the city of Valencia (a large urban mass); opposite it’s the South side represented by a lower mass density such as in the Historical District.

- 7. 7 The management of public and private spaces was one of the pillars identified in the formal and functional design of the project, mainly in each of its facings. It was important to express the definition and difference of spaces, to complement the building concept and allow the users to differentiate between public or private spaces. The first levels of each of the towers were determined for public uses (commercial areas) for the enjoyment of pedestrians and visitors. The rest of the floors were determined only for private uses.

- 8. 8 Functionally is divided into three (3) stages: 1. The first four (3) levels of the building were proposed as commercial use to generate it as the public spaces of the Tower, it’s determined by 42 commercial locals that are constantly getting direct contact with the terms and activities established for the “Constitución” Boulevard. 2. The fifth level (+24.00 meters high) was physically determined as an intermediate level; its function is to generate a filter or a transition space between the public and the private activities. In this level 2 multipurpose and rent halls are developed. 3. Represents the private area of the Tower (+32.00 meters high), determined by the offices which at the same time are sub-divided into: 36 rental offices and 9 corporate offices THE OFFICE TOWER + 24,00 meters high level + 32,00 meters high level + 16,00 meters high level + 20,00 meters high level ArchitectBachelorDegreeProjects
- 9. DESING VIII Naguanagua’s Cultural Park 9 ArchitectBachelorDegreeProjects The project was based on the sector’s needs. Lack of sociocultural spaces promotes the intention of designing a Cultural Park, specially aimed to serve "La Entrada" population. YEAR OF DESIGN: 2014 LOCATION: “La Entrada” Naguanagua, Valencia-Venezuela SIZE: 37.660 square meters (approximately 4 hectares)

Meanwhile, the pedestrian’s traffic design was determined by two intersected curves. THEATRE SCHOOL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AREA FACADES ArchitectBachelorDegreeProjects

- 12. 12 Conceptually the design was based on the drawing of circular/organicelements and forms. The management of green areas and open spaces were generated to provide feelings of relaxation and concentration to pedestrians and park users; adding to it, implementation of pergolas and permeable elements offer the project controlled lighting and natural ventilation. Fluent movement + Permeable spaces + Organic elements = Comfortable path ArchitectBachelorDegreeProjects

- 15. 15 Volumetrically each buildings seeks to convey their own languages; the public one was generated with a rectangular design, just to make sure to properly distribute all its internal spaces. Otherwise, the private drawing was based on a rectangle too, however, one corner was slightly affected by a circle with the intention of generate façades contrasts. ArchitectBachelorDegreeProjects
