About
Designer
My name is Carlos T. Acosta Pérez. I'm a Puerto Rican native with a Bachelor's in Environmental Design from the University of
Puerto Rico and an M.Arch Graduate from Pratt Institute. Currently, I'm living in New York City & an Adjunct Faculty Visiting Professor at NYIT School of Architecture. My approach to architecture and design generally focuses on speculating and questioning the purpose of the artifacts and spaces surrounding us, using alternative materials and fabrication methods that better reflect on being environmentally responsive and adaptable.

PARACADE
Synopsis:
The development of the Paracade module is based on the constant high changes in the environment and the lack of buildings, especially old ones to provide the comfort zone needed for its inhabitants. Looking at the alternative of completely erasing a building, I instead look at adapting them for the changes needed adding to the envelope. The Paracade consists of prefabricated modules join by a magnetic attachment that then it’s installed in the facade of the building then letting the material “subtancia” grow as needed by the presence of light.
