He was a Project Coordinator at Fusion del Valle, where he was in charge of working with all the different phases and teams involved in design, construction, and execution.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this project he seeks to design a cultural center in California that forms part of the surrounding environment and does not super impose its structure onto the spaces around it. Alfredo goes into detail about the construction documents, renderings and splits the structure into three in order to have a balanced flow between each building.<\/span><\/h4>\n
