Before Beginning... My name is Manuela Hinojosa Lopera, I am a passio-nate Space/Stage designer graduated from Colegiatura Colombiana, located in Medellin, Colombia.

I am specialized in analyzing the space and unders-tanding human needs and its relation with object and space. With the purpose of creating innovative solutions that communicate specific experiences and generate new ways of inhabiting the space.

As a Space / Stage Designers I have the capacity of developing a broad range of project types, ranging from retail, dining & entertainment, to theater scenography & art installations.

Each design is based on the interpretation of the human environment demands, in order to achieve com-prehensive proposals.

Our brand is aiming to bring wellness, vitality and balance to our costumer`s life,that is the reason why we transferred those values to our store, where we offer a comfortable and versatile space in which you can find a relaxing spot in the city to be in touch with the nature.

The store aesthetic is inspired by nature forms and colors, the space is mainly open making it easier to travel throughout the space. The architecture was design with the purpose of creating a harmonic relation with the surrounding nature, following that purpose, three main trees were integrated to the new space, proportioning shade and freshness to both decks.

The roof is meant to simulate the sensation of being under the trees, the lighting and walls texture are similar to leaves and roots,creating a ``being in the woods`` atmosphere.

Geometry and Light is an artistic installation that had place at Cole-giatura Colombiana- Medellin on 2013. This was the final project for the Art and Installations Workshop. This Installation is compound by white geometric volumes and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED lights. Every single color that appears in the space, is the result of the RGB lights combination, projected from diffe-rent angles and distances to the white objects. These three colors combined -RGB-, when varied in intensity, have the ability to produce over 16.7 million different colors.

Through this experiment we analyzed how geometric objects such as cubes, make a perfect match with this type of light. The cube clearly divides light rays on each face, this means that when several light rays are coming from different directions, they are reflected separately on different faces without getting mixed, only close to the edges we can see the result of the mixing colors.

PreservingHistory

-On Rails- Education, Entertainmentand Culture Center

Central Boulevard

Sobre Rieles (On Rails) is an entertainment and cultural center located in an old rail-way station in the town of Bello, Antioquia, Colombia. It is a space dedicated to preser-ving Antioquia`s collective memory and history, and principally the legacy of the Railroad to the local architecture. The new complex is compound by three main areas. 1. Education and History. 2. Recreation, Culture and Entertainment. 3. Gastronomy.Project Location

ProjectInspirationThe project is develop from the concept "let the building speak", which means that the overall architecture must be preserved and restored but the interiors can be redesigned. Existing materials are meant to be conserved and replicated, but the experience the space offers to the visitor is completely new. The aesthetic is based on the Industrial Vintage movement which is known for the use of old wood and iron. The result: a “warehouse look” that combines a true industrial feel with a range of other styles, from the earthy to the polished. This old school look has the purpose of creating an atmosphere that resembles the old railroad stations.

Woyzeck is a musical written by Georg Büchner, the story talks

about the dehumanizing effects that a doctor, a woman and the

military have in the life of a young soldier. Three main concepts

appear through the screenplay: city, chaos and deterioration.

Under the light of these ideas three scenographies were proposed.

In this scene the city is represented in a minimalistic way, returning to primary forms as lines and rectan-gles. The use of the yellow light and metal create an atmosphere that resembles a city feeling

Woyzeck

The main carácter, Woyzeck, is put through a lot of stress in every aspect of his life, he is constantly oppressed by the society morals and exhausting wor-king hours. Turning him into a deteriorated person. The deterioration is shown in the space as old ``grun-ge`` wooden doors and windows.

Wood has the capacity of recollec-ting history on its surface. Using

wood for the scene has the purpose of showing ravages of time, also

reminds the spectator the rubble left behind on war periods, which is the

screenplay time period.

These doors make a symbology between indoors and outdoors, they also work

as access spots to the scene for the characters .

Woyzeck

Woyzeck is a soldier that has mental disorders and hallucinations due to schizophrenia, this makes his life chaotic, where he sees a distorted reality. In this scene, chaos is represented through moving lights, texture projections and tangled fabric pieces.

Recre-ando is an itinerant recreation and education project, developed for Medellin city and surrounding towns. This project was born from the evaluation of the education centers and playgrounds located in the areas with the highest poverty rate in the city, where we found logistics and space problems such as untidiness, lack of equipment, and poor installations in general.

Consequently, with this project we propose a new concept for educa-tion and recreation for both kids and grown-ups, which brings the facility to be easily moved to whatever place as needed, thanks to its versa-tile modular design that allows the whole structure to be transformed and adapted to the space availabili-ty.

This Project can be located in many different places as required. The location place must meet the following requirements:even surface, outdoors or with a minimum height of 4.8 meters for indoors.As the project is compound by modular pieces, each section can set up separately, allowing the project to fit in several locations, from smaller to bigger ones.
