VOID DYNAMICS Área Metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo Léon, Mx.

Urban planning based on current socioeconomic trends has ended up promoting the occupation of space in a chaotic and disorganized way. As a result urban voids are generated as juxtapositions of various urban models and systems that lack articulation. These urban voids appear within the city of Monterrey as a space of few possibilities. Therefore, this project abandons the notion of urbanism as the instrument that promotes the expansion and assumes new strategies capable of addressing the porosity of the urban fabric while catalyzing the change for urban renewal. The approach of the proposal overcomes the intrinsic limitations of urban design. In the sense that it integrates the use of new digital and computer tools, together with the analysis strategies typical of the study of natural systems. Much has been studied about natural systems regarding their systemic behavior, structure, and evolution through time. Considering this, there are clear analogies between their behavior and the city environment. The obsolescence of the architectural object is recognized for the resolution of the spatial problems of a complex system such as the urban one. And instead, the potential of the void is addressed based on its importance as the key element of the succession through time.

Referring to the Strategic Plan, Stage 0 represents an instantaneous moment, where the disturbance reflects through changes in regulations regarding the legal structure of the land. As a result of this disturbance, the restructuring of land is catalyzed, generating public voids to cover 4-5% of the available space. Based on the

results, the most important milestones that frame and in some way shape the character of the sites chosen to intervene are identified. This is the case of the "Obelisco Roundabout," the "La Purísima Plaza," and the "OCA Hospital Complex" in front of the Independence monument.

A LIVING RIVER

…FROM ITS ROOTS THE CITY NOURISHES Architectural Design II

“Ciudad-Rio” Project directed by Peter G. Rowe (GSD Harvard)

Collaborative work In addition to the important environmental role of the Santa Catarina River in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey, it has the power to function as a backbone that would nourish different areas and potentialize the urban and public space...

A LIVING RIVER Área Metropolitana de Monterrey, Nuevo Léon, Mx.

The Santa Catarina River and Monterrey have had a close relationship since the city foundation. Unfortunately, the lack of respect towards the river has caused considerable damages to the city on several occasions. As in the coming of the hurricanes Gilberto and Alex. So, how can we improve the relationship between the river and Monterrey, so that both parties obtain benefits?

Various tools are proposed such as ecoducts, rainwater reservoirs and channeling, BRT system and light rail, and last but not least, the biological corridors that connect the river to various green areas of the city that are currently segregated. All this system is added to the specific urban and architectural proposals in certain areas. These areas are Valley Zone, Bishopric, Center, Buenos Aires, and Fundidora.

From the beginning of the project, we understood the nature of the river (torrential river). For this reason, and for the ecological role it plays in the flora and fauna, it was decided to keep it in its natural state, proposing that it function as a natural connection between different points of the city that have the potential to be public spaces of excellent quality but that are currently disengaged.

Through these proposals, a network of public spaces, protected natural areas, and architectural landmarks are generated to blend with the existing context in which they are located.

One of the proposed intervention areas is Obispado, with a more historical character on the north side of the river and in the south a medical program related to the actual hospital area. The connection between the river and these architectural spaces is made through a wildlife bridge, connecting the river with the natural area of Obispado.

COL. ADOLFO PRIETO Landscape Design Collaborative work- Carlos Huerta / Daniel Franco We dare to imagine a city that although it conserves a little of its industry, has been able to completely eradicate the environmental pollution. A natural but also productive entity that reconnects not only flora and fauna but also social structures.

For the neighborhood-scale proposal, the naturalization of the Talavera River becomes the first point of focus to reconnect the neighborhood with other areas through a green corridor and underused spaces that are near to the tributary area of the river, which some of this lands turns into agricultural production and the first line of defense against floods. Within the intervention of the neighborhood, it is opted for the biological

reconnection through the transformation of green corridors and its prioritization of the urban system, transforming certain local streets to pedestrian use, strategically located as a branch of the green vertebra system towards the interiors of the residential zones, differentiated by an exercise of topography and sunken terraces. It is through the landscape palette that path environment and living spaces are marked, at the same time connected by recreational uses, production, and civic manifestation.

Adolfo Prieto Neighborhood is testimony to the first periurban growth of the Monterrey metropolis. It is in this sense of great patrimonial value for the collective memory. Therefore it is essential to plan the future of these neighborhoods and thus avoid the extinction of their legacy.

URBAN VEGETATION (RIPARIAN)

Through the reading that offers to see the city as a landscape, it is possible to establish a sustainable and resilient path that rests on the main force that dominates our world, nature, taking advantage of its flows and morphs instead of constantly fighting against its dynamism. SCRUB VEGETATION

The evolution towards a city of industrial processes made it more attractive to opt for the disconnection between the human being and the living entities that provide it, replacing this link with automated processes and mass production. It should be suggested that returning to this memory, to the mutualism between city population and living environment, makes sense in current times if the purpose is to have a more conscious lifestyle.

MUSEO, TALLER GALERÍA Monterrey, Nuevo Léon, Mx.

MUTA emerges as a cultural and artistic space that enhances the creative spirit of the “La Purísima” neighborhood. This museum, workshop, and gallery integrate new spaces for creation, which dialogue with the Regiomontana memory through the recovery of original architectural elements, giving them a new use and life with spaces of coexistence, learning, and reflection. In response to the need for spaces designed

for children. The project includes interactive rooms in the museum and children’s art workshops. As well as a game and exploration environment that becomes explicit as a “giant toy” with the colorful stairs between the permanent and temporary museum buildings.

LA VOCA 7 RETREAT FOR ARTISTS

Nonoalco Tlatelolco, CDMX. México

Few places bring together centuries of socio-cultural juxtaposition like the Urban complex Nonoalco Tlatelolco and its Plaza de las Tres Culturas. Where the perigee of pre-Hispanic, colonial, and modern Mexico converge. Upon entering, the visible signs of decline do not do justice to the Housing Unit project that Mario Pani planned as a city utopia in the 60s. Its importance as the nerve center of the student mobilizations of 68 that broke out just a few years after its inauguration was established with the Vocational School No. 7, where the leaders of the movement of all the Universities, whose repression culminates in the tragic massacre in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas. In 2013 the Voca 7 building was demolished, in 1970 it was taken from the Polytechnic to house a hospital, and with it, the memory of the once effervescent center of ideas vanished.

NONOALCO TLATELOLCO

The retirement hostel wants to re-signify the creative legacy of the students of ‘68 by transforming student criticism into a criticism of artistic expression. Under the understanding that the contemporary artist seeks awareness and inspiration through profound experiences, these spaces were projected with different degrees of exposure to situations of conflict and cultural shock.

The envelope of the hostel is reminiscent of what was once the Vocational No. 7, the catalyst of the student movements of 1968.

Interior Gardens CONTEMPLATE

Inspiration can come from exposure to situations that make you fragile, feeling isolated and at the same time exposed.

In an urban environment, introspection is still possible outside in a game of atmospheres that strongly contrast the stillness of the interior gardens with the bustle of the CDMX.

The emotional charge of what happened is comparable to an introspective look that escapes into the sky.

The Plaza de las Tres Culturas is full of legacies. Among them, the force of expression of the students that never materialized, but now it can be reborn.

The overhead light is captured, enhancing the introspection effect of private spaces by containing the void that is invaded by the vertical gardens that run through it.

-033

The pre-Hispanic remnants in front of the hostel create a surreal environment where contact with past lives is made possible through dreams.

The succession of independent volumes generates spaces for creative production in contact with nature and framing the cultural syncretism of the site.

BICHO VI Architectural Elements Collaborative work with FabLab Mty “Bicho VI” is a parametric pavilion that originates from internal logic and the study of flexible elements, whose conformation, rather than being a top-QW, arises from a long series of material experimentations of form-finding in bottom-up.

COMPONENT INTERNAL STRUCTURE

BICHO VI San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo Léon, Mx.

The project composed of flexible elements invited the development of studies to bend the wood. Either through cuts on the surface of the pieces or using very thin plates and taking advantage of the material flexibility. By using the isocurves of the three-dimensional models and the same direction of the wood beta, it was possible to develop complex and unconventional forms in the use of this material. The result was a wooden pavilion, generated through geometric algorithms, whose pieces, despite their curvature, are all developable. The pavilion was constituted of an external, flexible, and curved skin of 3mm wood, strengthened with an internal structure of elements of triangular planes of plywood. For the assembly and the union between the pieces, lace and webbing were used.
