architecture . computational design . robotic fabrication

I’m an architect from Mexico

My work focuses on computational design, digital fabrication (multiple methods with diverse machines), design (product, architectonic, art), and teaching.

(here’s a bit more about it)

I have collaborated with/in multiple organizations through the years.

(here’s some of them)

Currently, I am a partner at RoboCraft, a researcher at ZHAW IBP,
and a co-founder and collaborator at MANUFACTURA and AVES.

Here’s a gallery of beautiful people, bloopers, and memories bound to these projects.

If you would like to contact me, you can find my details at the bottom of the page.

digital fabrication

_
1,2. path planning for robotic fiber winding (Gradel LW)
3. bio-composite 3d printing (Manufactura)
4. robotic deposition and compression (MAEID)
5. mobile robotic wet clay compression fabrication (Clay Rotunda – GKR)

what
  • tooling
  • process analysis and development
  • material analysis and development
  • production with multiple mediums
  • 3d scanning

computational design

_
1. stool configurator: generates the curve information to load in the Shaper CNC (ZHAW)
2. urban airflow simulation
3. sensing + plane analysis and adaptation (MAS ETH DFAB)
4. facade evaluation, design, and data manipulation (NAICM – FRE-EE)
5. geometry evaluation for fabrication information (MAS ETH DFAB)
6. mesh reconstruction (Gradel LW)
7. packing optimization algorithm (AVES+RoboCraft)

what
  • geometric: rationalization, analysis, modeling, form-finding and generative design, mesh and point cloud management
  • data: analysis, management, environmental analysis
  • design-production: concept, parametric modeling, discretization, fabrication. process optimization and automation

design

_
1. general structure and subdivision design (Digital Bamboo – DBT)
2. hotel design proposal (SMA)
3. interior design proposal (AVES)
4. Talavera project (Manufactura)
5,6. design for kid’s spaces (Urban Play)

what
  • design
  • concept development
  • modeling
  • representation

teaching

_
1. ZHAW+USI: Wintershool 2024 – EarthMoves (clay printing to promote bio-diversity)
2,3,4. Digital Futures Workshop: Entre la Fabricación Análoga y Digital (scanning, mesh modification and conceptual development)
