My Name is Carlos Garcia

I began learning about Architecture during my time in high school, when I enrolled in a program dedicated to designing spaces throughout my town, from horse stables, library spaces, and much more. Currently I have obtained my Bachelor's in Architecture from California College of the arts, located in San Francisco.
Some skills that I have obtained throughout the years are proficiency in programs such as AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino3D, Sketchup; programs for rendering such as Enscape, Vray, Lumion, as well as technical skills such as woodworking, Drawing, and even music.

DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, REGENERATIVE

Design that brings multiple species to coexist, and thrive.

Poroscity is theoretical project that is dedicated to ensuring a safe and sustainable environment for both people and nature. Our latest project involves the creation of a unique community that embraces the coexistence and interaction between humans and hummingbirds. Designed with modern sensibility and traditional aesthetics in mind, rammed earth homes will provide the comfort and security we need while preserving natural habitats for these beautiful creatures. We hope to inspire communities around the world to adopt a sustainable approach in all their endeavours.

Our project is designed to revitalize the San Pablo Avenue block by creating a collective for the community. We believe in the power of bringing together the people, businesses, and cultural heritage to create an environment that fosters regenerative and sustainable growth. With a comprehensive plan for retrofitting the existing block, we assure that the project would be sustainable, creating a self-sufficient ecosystem with the community at its heart. Be a part of this transformative journey by actively engaging with our project and contributing to the collective vision.

Design for the community, for a regenerative economy.

Design that allows for culture and heritage grow, and give back.

Our project is focused on empowering the Latino community in Boyle Heights. We believe in bringing together the community through food and communal cooking, sharing recipes and techniques to create delicious meals. We understand the importance of building relationships and supporting each other in the pursuit of economic growth and expansion. At our project, we offer the space and resources to not only enhance culinary skills, but also develop and start up businesses within the community.
