Acosta Pérez(AKA Carter). I am a Brooklyn-basedPuerto Rican architectural designer and mixed media artist with a Master of Architecture from Pratt Institute and a Bachelor of Environmental Design from the University of Puerto Rico, bringing over nine years of experience working with firms including RSVP Architects, Snarkitecture, Mark Foster Gage Architects, CAZA, Reid Architecture, and, most recently, LOT-EK Architecture. My work operates at the intersection of 3D model-making, visualization, and speculative design, where models are not just representational tools but instruments for testing form, material behavior, and spatial narratives through iterative processes. I approach design through dissection and reconstruction, treating form as something to be questioned and reassembled while using materiality as a medium for storytelling, where textures, assemblies, and fabrication techniques contribute to broader spatial narratives. I often find myself wanting to explore various fields in pursuit of different types of projects that are all connected to the realm of art. This can involve activities such as building, curating exhibitions, publishing, theorizing about specific concepts, developing comics, creating illustrations, producing animations, fabricating objects, and even producing films and sculpting. For this reason, I envision this space as a place to fundamentally explore, research, and document the daily choices and practices that shape our identities in relation to space, time, community, and the objects that surround us. https://identidadstudio.com/ARCHITECTURE Mon, 18 Nov 2024 02:06:04 +0000 identidadstudio https://identidadstudio.com/ARCHITECTURE “CATALOG” ARCHITECTURE <img width="3944" height="2553" width_o="3944" height_o="2553" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57605fc0b03678198773570bb0f03399a2bd6612388eee04babea103d7b867ea/Conerstone2.png" data-mid="221933201" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/57605fc0b03678198773570bb0f03399a2bd6612388eee04babea103d7b867ea/Conerstone2.png" /> 01 CONERSTONE A cultural center, and harvesting facility that accommodates recreational spaces for the communities to manifest their cultural needs while providing jobs that reflect the demography.
