TYPOLOGY: SOCIAL AND URBAN REGENERATION

ADVISOR: JUAN CARLOS LOPEZ

COLLABORATORS: LUIS GILBERTO RODRIGUEZ AND MONICA PIÑONES

ANALCO

The Analco neighborhood is one of the three founding neighborhoods of the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco. It was formerly an indigenous town that was incorporated into the capital in 1825. The project site has an area of 3,815m2, and is located on the block that borders Guadalupe Victoria Street to the north, Cuauhtémoc Street to the south, 5 de Mayo Street to the east and Cuautla Street to the west. To the northeast is the Garden of San José de Analco and to the west the Garden of San Sebastián de Analco.

HISTORICAL HERITAGE

Property of artistic environmental value

Property of historical environmental value

Relevant historical monument

Historical monument by law

The neighborhood has several of the most important historical monuments of colonial Guadalajara, such as the temple of San Sebastián de Analco. In addition to spaces of historical heritage value such as the Garden of San José de Analco, the Parish of San José de Analco and the garden of San Sebastián.

POPULATION DENSITY

High density

Medium density

The district currently has an area of 227 hectares and 14,147 people in 6,276 homes, with an approximate density of 62 inhabitants per hectare and 27.6 homes per hectare.

RISKS

Average earthquake risk

High earthquake risk

Flood risk

Site

With land use mainly for housing, commerce and services, the neighborhood is located in an area susceptible to flooding with a high and very high degree of vulnerability to earthquakes.

VEGETATION

Site

Vegetation

Gardens or Plazas

The site currently has a deficit of green areas, which do not even constitute 10% of the area of the neighborhood, making the area a space with little vegetation value and that does not contribute to any natural cycle of the site.

MASTER PLAN

INTERVENTION THROUGH BIOPHILICAL ACTION

Biophilia: The need and desire for nature and the love for living things.

The project proposes a return to “green” and the search once again for environments that communicate with nature. The intervention seeks to obtain a biophilic solution that addresses 4 main aspects:

BODY AND HEALTH EMOTIONS

RELATIONS BUILT ATMOSPHERE

INTERVENTION AT THE URBAN LEVEL

The intervention of the Garden of San José de Analco is proposed respecting the original plot of the plaza which follows a radial order, generating spaces for coexistence for older adults, young people and children. In addition, the plaza connects with the Parish of San Jose de Analco, by opening completely on one of its sides.

CUAUHTEMOC STREET SECTION

GUADALUPE VICTORIA STREET SECTION

In both streets, the expansion of pedestrian pathways is proposed. Their use is encouraged through good infrastructure, adequate lighting, and seating furniture. Additionally, local vegetation is prioritized to create shaded areas, enhance thermal comfort, and establish rain gardens that support water capture and filtration.

On Guadalupe Victoria Street, a new bike lane is proposed, connecting the historic buildings and plazas of the municipality.

TRANSVERSAL SECTION

The house features varying ceiling heights inside. The service areas have the lowest ceiling height, while the living areas have the highest. The patio is the space with the greatest height in the apartment, which allows it to be more flexible for various uses and also lets in more light to the interior spaces.

INHABITING THE HOUSE

The housing intervention proposes to use a base habitability module with a diameter of 2.80 meters, in line with the minimum standard established in the book “Tools for Inhabiting the Present” by Zaida Muxí. Spatial quality is enhanced by the integration of an elevated patio, which connects the exterior space with the interior, contributing to natural lighting and ventilation, thermal comfort regulation, and improvements in physical and mental health. This also creates resilient spaces in case of emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic experienced between 2020 and 2022.

LOS 44 PATIOS EN ALTURA DE ANALCO

VIVIENDA BIOFÍLICA Y AMBIENTALMENTE RESILIENTE ANTEPROYECTO ARQUITECTÓNICO

de los principales dilemas planteados y no resueltos durante el movimiento moderno de la arquitectura el siglo pasado; y que sigue vigente el día de hoy es el tema del patio en altura. Actualmente, las ciudades se encuentran con el dilema de que no son capaces de abastecer la cantidad adecuada de metros cuadrados de área verde por habitante (como es el caso de Guadalajara), además de que los programas de redensificación urbana dan prioridad a desarrollos que priorizan el bloque o la torre como las tipologías a construir por excelencia, pero que no se ocupan de

La intervención de la vivienda plantea tomar como módulo base de habitabilidad el diámetro de 2.80m, acorde con el mínimo establecido en el líbro “Herramientas para habitar el presente”, de Zaida Muxí;, permitiendo así mayor flexibilidad de usos, así como la configuración de habitaciones acorde a las necesidades del usuario. La calidad espacial se ve mejorada por la integración de un patio en altura, que permite integrar el espacio exterior con el interior, mejorando la conexión humano - naturaleza

El reto más importante del proyecto era generar espacios exteriores suficientemente ventilados e iluminados que funcionaran para iluminar también el interior. Es por esto que al explorar con los cambios de altura, se obtienen exploraciones en donde al aumentar la altura se aumenta la cantidad de iluminación y se maximizan las vistas. Al tener mas altura, también se incrementa la profundidad a la que el sol puede alcanzar.

PROTECTING AND RELEASING

To protect the interiors from various climatic conditions, slatted panels are proposed. These panels allow for adjusting the exposure to the exterior according to the needs of the inhabitants or depending on the interior use, enabling greater or lesser degrees of lighting and ventilation.

EXPLORING THE COMPLEX TRANSVERSAL SECTION

The most important challenge of the project was to create exterior spaces that were sufficiently ventilated and illuminated, which would also help to light the interior. Therefore, by experimenting with changes in height, it was found that increasing the height enhances the amount of lighting and maximizes the views. Additionally, it also increases the depth to which sunlight can reach.

HABITANDO CON DIGNIDAD

El proyecto busca generar un nuevo tipo de vivienda biofílica, que asegure mejor y mayor conexión del ser humano con su entorno y la naturaleza. A través de la intervención de los patios se piensa ayudar a mitigar los impactos cambio climático, específicamente en temas de olas de calor o para la absorción de lluvia y evitar inundaciones, además de regresar especies nativas de aves insectos a la zona, que se habían perdido con la urbanización.

Adicionalmente, el diseño a partir de medidas dignas y habitables rantiza una permanencia del usuario en el espacio, así como su futura reconfiguración, pudiendo adoptar nuevos usos o nuevas familias.

Para finalizar, el proyecto busca crear conciencia en el medio ambiente, la importancia de la vegetación y naturaleza relación con el ser humano.,

02 MORELOS STREET

LOCATION: MONTERREY, NUEVO LEÓN

YEAR: 2023

TYPOLOGY: SOCIAL AND URBAN REGENERATION

ADVISOR: RENA PORSEN

COLLABORATORS: MARIANA RODRIGUEZ AND GUSTAVO PONCE

PROJECT

The project is located in the central area of Monterrey, Nuevo León. Morelos Street is split by the Macroplaza, and the project will focus on a portion on the left side of it, where the Morelos Plaza is currently situated, which is a plaza with commercial and historical importance.

The aim of the project is to increase density on Morelos Street through affordable housing.

¿WHY INCREASE DENSITY ON MORELOS STREET THROUGH AFFORDABLE

HOUSING?

The central area of the metropolitan region concentrates the highest density of jobs

The 10 km around the Macroplaza hosts 47% of the jobs.

The largest supply of affordable housing is on the periphery.

The city center is thinly populated compared to the periphery. This is due to the high cost of land in the central area.

Expansion of the urban footprint results in decreased density.

Between 1990 and 2020, the expansion of the urban footprint increased from 363 to 1,029 square kilometers, representing a growth of 2.8 times. This expansion has resulted in a reduction in population density, decreasing from 7,377 inhabitants per square kilometer to 5,028 inhabitants per square kilometer.

¿WHY MORELOS STREET?

Morelos Street is located near two of the city’s most important roads (Av. Constitución and Av. Morones Prieto). Additionally, it is close to a metro station, and being in the city center, it is surrounded by restaurants, shops, museums, public buildings, universities, and more.

Moreover, an opportunity for residential development was identified on this street, as it currently has only commercial use.
