These are some of the newest plans showing revision at the Cuatro Pavilion stage and the Recital Hall. One of the comments during my presentation in Boston this past April was about the scale of the Pavilion stage wall facing Calle Javilla. The Wall seemed too tall for the pedestrian scale of the adjacent sidewalk. My approach was to carve a space on top of the backstage area of the pavilion and create an overlooking terrace that will take advantage of the "Cordillera Central"(Mountain Range) views on the north side. This leaves the stage "shell" as a free-standing object that projects higher than the sorrounding volumesA similar problem occured on the Recital Hall wall facing Calle Javilla. My solution was to break the wall by offsetting the wall on the Second Level creating a better scale relationship between the Recital Hall volume and the adjacent existing two-story buildings. Next tep is to update the 3D perspectives to reflect the changes.
My name is Carlos E. Maldonado-Cruz and I am originally from San German, Puerto Rico. I received my Bachelors Degree in Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2003. Since then I have been working in an architecture firm called The Albion Group where the work is mostly retail and commercial design, although once in a while there are some fun projects too. Working in this firm helped me understand the realities of the profession and the difference between school and working in a real firm. I am a recent graduate of Master of Architecture from Boston Architectural College.
