Macarena Chaves Martinez joins us for their third Portfolio Challenge with a project called the Robert Crown Center. Architect-US Job+J1 Visa Program was able to assist Macarena in making her way over to the US for her American Dream. In 2019, she was able to join StudioMDA and be part of the hustle and bustle of New York City.
Macarena previously studied at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (ETSAM) and was able to get the opportunity to go over to the USA to study at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Macarena created Robert Crown Center as a space for sports and community gathering. As you move through the different sketches and renderings you see how the bottom floor is for Hockey and other indoor sports, while the exposed top floor is a park for people to meet and relax. Another key aspect of this center is the incorporation of nature into all areas of the center.
