First art show in Europe, Barcelona, I wanted to demonstrate what has impacted in my trip, the theme of the show was immigration, and the one thing I could not ignore, was the situation primarily with Pakistani’s in Barcelona, which most by majority work in a supermarket called (Paki’s) me being an American and of Immigration Descent wanted to expose my disgust with this situation which most ignore and accept. Especially after the catastrophic floods this past July in Pakistan affecting more than 20 million people, which will cause more people to flee there country of origin, to a so called better future.

Los Paki’s de Europa son Los Mexicanos de Estados Unidos
The Paki’s of Europe are the Mexicans of the United States

I am currently an intern in EMBT (Enric Miralles Benedetta Tagliabue) a architecture firm in Barcelona, Spain
from June to December, here I am with my team working on a museum in Neijang, China a Museum for chinese artist Zhang Da Quian.
Concept Stage

Wining a scholarship to work and study in Europe I took advantage of the opportunity to travel. In two weeks I hit up Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Athens, and now am staying in Barcelona for 6 months, these are my travels and encounters!!!!

Me and two good friends of mine Roman Mendez and Michael Gonzales decided to have fun and experiment on designing a sculpture/furniture/wall piece, this is the process and outcome, YYYEaaaHHH!!!
The piece can have people sleep, sit, or whatever they wish and simultaneously hold books, bottles, glasses etc, and also divides a space architecturally.

Italian Artist Luca Buvoli is the mastermind behind this creation, I along with Eliseo Pita, Jesus Parra, and Hugo Palma worked in digital fabrication/3d modeling along with Luca in order to make his vision a reality. The Sculpture represents the relationship between the human anatomy and the functionality/experience of flying.

Due to the growing of harmful conditions Lake Atitlan is going through with cyanobacteria we decided that the program primarily be dedicated to a aquatic research center for Lake Atitlan. Another issue due to the water is the lack of tourism that is occurring predominately because of the waters contamination, and for the locals who live there are suffering since they base their entire economy is around tourism, receiving over $25 million a year. Our design provides 10 research laboratories all throughout the lake since the lake is 8 miles long, the water condition is all throughout the lake, ranging from the northern part in Panajachel of the lake where our basic prototype is based on to the southern part where the volcano San Pedro resides as well as the west in San Juan Laguna and to the east in San Antonio Palopo. Boats will be provided in order for the researches to communicate with each other’s researches to solve this problem of algae that is affecting the entire Lake and its people. Also the boats are provided for guest to explore and enjoy the lake. This research center will be an attraction not only for its necessity of providing a solution to the epidemic water contamination, but as well as an architectural attraction by introducing innovative sustainable designs. Examples consist of the skin being incorporating with carbonated skin that is made of fabric to ventilate its building by using its openings within the skin. The form and fluidity of the building allows it to enhance the capabilities a building can have. The entrance of the plaza introduces a welcome center and a café. This combines a communal space before entering the climactic entrance to the main building. The research Center includes laboratories and dormitories for the researches from different Universities such as La Universidad de San Carlos and La Universidad Rafael Landívar.
I worked alongside great friend and colleague Roman Mendez.
