hi! I'm OfeliA✨

_Architect from Lima, Perú with a mention in urban planning. Self taught oil painter and photography enthusiast. Since childhood I have always liked art and my city. I have always draw my city as I could understand it. I went to architecture school because I believed I could design cities


_My personal art project is called "my cyan cities" and is a mix of critic urbanism and cyanotypes with collage. That is a natural photographic printing process that gives that cyan color to the art.

I like to try it all!

_While in my second year of architecture school I was in the art team. And in the workshop fairs for students I discovered the digital fabrication world and the makers movement. A group of teachers in the architecture faculty wanted to open a group studies like a mini fablab. I inmediatly joined!

First in the team we made little laser cutting things about our city and some 3d prints of what we liked. We also made some masks in the vynil cutter. Then in 2020, we collaborated with the Berytech Fab Lab to make some furniture design to help the victims who lost their homes in the 2020 explosion.



Even basic programming!



_In 2019 for just fun I enrolled in a programming and robotics short course because I had always be curious about robotics but never tried it. I did a simple controlled remote car but It was everything to me at the time!



And apply everything to design

_I have tried to apply all this interests in academic courses in my university days. From parametric design in circulation cores and building facades to 3D printed models in design courses. But also to programmed bamboo lamps for sustainability courses where I didn't had to make all the electric connections but I wanted to since I knew something about the theory and programming.😁






Until my final t h e s i s project in 2024
_Where the challenge we aboard was to propose a modular organic housing structure for psicological treatment to sexual abuse victims in the jungle of Perú. Where the climate is very intense, rainy and sunny and the materials are all local in wood and bamboo. It had this parametric structure that envolves all the housing and helped with the environmental conditioning.

Reasearch nowadays

_Since 2023 I have taken the IAAC Summer school where I learned the basics from computational design, design for robotics, environmental design and urban analytics with rhinoceros 7 and phyton. An got the chance to exchange knowledge with people from all over the world🌐 to continue learning.

Ulima fabricaci0n

_Since 2022 I am part of the Faculty of architecture in the University of Lima. You could say I came back to school to promote what I learned in the digital fabrication group studies back in 2019 that now has a design course in the Faculty, where I teach.👩🏻‍🏫
Some of the works I am invovled are in subtraction, laser cutting and IA in design for first year students in architecture.
