Where Art Meets Architecture
My design process is rooted in the cross-pollination of ideas across different creative disciplines. Each project begins with a deep exploration phase that draws from multiple sources of inspiration:
Research & Analysis
I begin each project by immersing myself in its context – whether that's a neighborhood in Madrid, a campus courtyard, or a fantasy world. This involves:
Site documentation through photography and sketching
Understanding historical and cultural context
Mapping human behavioral patterns
Analyzing environmental conditions
Ideation & Development
My background in various art forms influences how I generate and develop ideas:
Quick conceptual sketches capture initial thoughts
Physical models explore spatial relationships
Artistic studies examine materiality and light
Musical composition influences rhythm and flow in design
Iteration & Refinement
Each project evolves through multiple iterations, with each version building on lessons learned from the last:
Hand-drawn studies explore form, space, and feeling
Physical models test spatial relationships at different scales
Digital models verify technical aspects
Continuous documentation captures the evolution of representation techniques
Documentation & Presentation
The final phase brings together various media to communicate the design:
Architectural drawings convey technical precision
Physical models demonstrate spatial qualities
Digital renderings illustrate the lived experience
Photography captures key moments and details
Video presentations tell the complete design story
