Ramas, the culinary institute will serve as a center of the professional culinary education in Mexico. In order to connect with the community, Ramas will address the social, and ecological issues in the design by providing series of pocket gardens throughout the building. This new school will be located in the center of Mexico City’s Business District. It is off of Río Amazonas and Calle Río Lerma Streets. Mexico City’s major avenue, Paseo De La Reforma, is located to the south of the site. The lot is roughly 3,600 sq. ft.

Mexico City has been suffering from air pollution for years due to a lack of vegetation and heavy motor vehicles. This building will provide sky gardens for the city, giving relief from the dense urban fabric. The upper garden will be an outdoor interactive space for students and faculty. They can exercise, grow vegetables, study, or socialize in this garden. The greenery and soil of the garden will also cool down the building during the summer. The angled windows on the southeast façade are ideal for getting more natural daylight into the building and saving energy.
