M OT I VAT I O N “I believe that in order of architecture to be effective, we need to recognize the issues of our context through understanding of architecture as a holystic system, or a relationship between spacial composition and society. And as such, find patterns and create algorithmic systems to form the most optimal solutions that answer to a necessity and providing benefits for our society.

As an architects, we are not just designers, we are multi-disciplinary thinkers to are concerned to solve all the necessities through our designs.

Architecture is the art of creating and selling the experience of inhabiting a space. “ Dinorah is an extremely passionate about cities and architectural design. She wants to make cities a better place by carefully analyzing them in order to find specific solutions suitable for the exact place. Her interests lie in exploring the relationships between technology and architecture applicable in the creative process and design. Shaped by her working experiences, she is determined to bring an international perspective to her academic, professional, and creative work. A versatile and driven architect, she has worked and volunteered in fields spanning from international development to design.

01 TOPOGRAFIC SUTURE Description: Thesis project at Catedra Blanca CEMEX 2015/2016, Universidad Iberoamericana.

Tutors: MArq. Diego Ricalde, MArq. Emmanuel Ramirez (Estudio MMX) , Arq. Moises Gamúz.

Location: Texcoco, México City, Mexico.

Date: 2015 / 2016 Collaboration: Ricardo López The atelier objective was to analyze the terrain from the biggest scale that would have an impact on the city, which meant studying the Basin of Mexico. This is the name given to the region of four valleys in the central part of the Mexican territory, which not only contains Mexico City but also other federal states. To study it properly distinct binomials that create city were assigned: water, landscape, urban and infrastructure. Our project studies the binomial of water and landscape, understanding the effect of the ever-growing metropoli against what used to be the dominant natural environment. Numerous zooms were made in search of the critical point of that binominal, which turned out to be the heart of the Basin of Mexico, what was once known as the great Lake Texcoco.

W AT E R + LANDSCAPE

In colonial times, rivers were sent underground and lakes began to be drained; the sinking of the city and floods are a consequence of those actions, problems that consume the city today.

Neither the city nor the Basin of Mexico are auto sufficient; and it is ironic that a region shaped to contain a great body of water has to bring it from other hydrologic systems; that the lowest point of the basin is not covered by rainwater which instead of being stored, is ejected from the territory. Through an urban proposal and later an architectural proposal, we address all these factors from the macro scale and reflect them on a micro scale Mexico City has grown disproportionately eliminating its connections with the natural environment. We believe that to amend this, the territory should answer to its topographic vocation where natural systems correspond to the heights of the land.

In today’s context it is impossible to go back to depending on only one great lake, because of this we seek to divide the magnitude of this lake in various fragments that adapt to the contemporary infrastructure.

The project strives for a topographic suture of the surroundings of Lake Texcoco.

1.1 Manifestation of water and landscape through infraestructure and mobility; linking Texcoco with Mexico City

If we join the sites of water with the sites of landscape we can have a suture, weaving the programmatic axis of the city with the natural axis of the basin which is its natural drain, the sewage of Mexico City.

Naturally, the high points of the basin are where landscape emerges and the low points are where water accumulates.

The project strategy places the ecologic as its first hierarchy, followed by the urban and finally the architectural. The essential action is to regenerate a withering landscape.

Because of the absence of an immediate urban context we use topography as a means of order, where the same natural trend of the basin is replicated in order to be able to reconfigure the terrain. We elaborate a network of high points which is where we can build, and another network of low points which become bodies of water.

The places where these two meet become areas for mangroves and natural reserves.

At the architectural level it creates the suture by means of a train station whose purpose is to link to the City with this new natural paradise as with the new airport.

The composition of the building responds to this same concept of arrangement where low points store water for future use.

It is thanks to this that the territory is completely reconfigured, the final piece to solve the border problem and heal the critical landscape and water point.

A suture is a seam whose purpose is to rejoin what was separated or damaged.

It is only through a new connection to the city between the old and the new, that we managed to rethink the metropolis through a water and lansdcape perspective.

02 FLEXTRUCTURE Description: Thesis project at Graduated Specialization of Creative Design Code by CENTRO DiseĂąo, Cine y TelevisiĂłn Tutors: Yoshi Fukumori, Eduardo Obieta and Eduardo Ramirez.

Location: CENTRO University, MĂŠxico City, Mexico.

Date: 2018 Traditionally, architectural design has been prevailed by topdown design methods, which generally subordinate material and manufacturing considerations for the geometry learned. While bottom-up strategies have increasingly been explored in design processes, such as biomimetic approaches, they often follow a top-down manufacturing solution. Unlike conventional design methods, both the design development and the materialization process can be considered equal design drivers through the use of biomimetic design principles and the simultaneous development of new manufacturing methods (La Magna et al. ., 2013; Menges, 2013) . Biomimetic approaches have proven to have significant potential for design implementations through their systemic complexity and multiple logics (Gruber 2011).

The morphological principles of natural organisms

are absorbed and transferred to architectural applications for their performative geometries and their functional integration.

The evolutionary biological processes offer a remarkable example for the integration of multiple requirements in the morphogenetic process.

This project seeks to make a replicable structure optimized from biomimetic studies to support anti-earthquake loads and to make a new and innovative construction process for the engineering and architecture market.

Based on the spiderwebs, the most resistant natural structure in the world, this project was developed in six different explorations to study the physical and mechanical properties about them and how they work as a structure.

Spider silk is a protein fiber spun naturally by spiders. The spiders use it to develop hunting nets or webs, nests, protections for their eggs or even to be transported by air as a paraglider.

Thanks to this form of transport, some sailors have reported the presence of spiders among their sails after having sailed, even at distances of 1,600 km offshore. They have also been found in atmospheric globes in their tasks of analysis of the atmosphere at heights somewhat less than 5000 m.

the

nodes.

The cobwebs or spiderwebs, one of the most efficient and unsurpassed natural processes in the world.

There are 700 m in a continuous thread, increasing the image 12,000 times the spider has in the adomén 4 organs called “rows” each contains taps, which produce liquid silk a few thousandths of a millimeter thick. The spider pulls these threads and turns liquid silk into solid and twists several rows together to give strength to the thread. Each thread has a thirtieth part of hair that contains a force outside its scale.

proper ties.

His genius and secret of his resistance is in the drops of water that there are of each crossing. Within each drop there are strands of cobwebs strongly entangled, when the victim collides, these strands unravel, causing the fabric to bend and stretch without breaking.

exploration 01:

study of flexible structures.

The first exploration consisted in studying how flexible structures work with and respond with square shaped nodes with flexible materials (clips).

Experimentation from a digital process, gave us the result that when using square modules are easily deformed, but when adding a module in the form of a triangle, tension is created and its deformation is prevented by the properties of the geometry.

This species was chosen for its quickness to make cobwebs in a short time and its dense web was studied in the original container.

We build an acrylic box of 15 x 15 cm. where perforations were made so that the spider could breathe and also the mapping of the cobweb process was simple.

Then guides were built so that the spider would lean and could weave its web through them, as well as leaving food and drink at strategic points for more than 3 weeks.

After the estimated time, the record of how the spider made its web was mapped and a line was woven that crossed from point to point to be able to manipulate the design.

The process was extracted and that is how we chose the guidelines to be able to do the process of programming, simulation and solidification of the process.

From the points and lines of the process mapping of the natural web, a simulation was made with Kangaroo, which gave us the following diagram as a result and which allows us to simulate the mechanical properties of the web.

As a final result, this polygon mesh was optimized, using the Cocoon plugging, which allowed us to solidify the process and obtain a structure that is the result of a natural process, whose properties come from a natural web and can be edited to our own taste , depending on the necesity.

“Spider mind doesn’t completely reside in their body as their web constitude a form of spatial thinking. Information from their web becomes integral part of their cognitive systems.

The web provides a medium of interaction with embedded intelligence. Form (web morphology), matter (spider silk) and production (spider behaviour) are interfered with an algorithmically designed and machined printed spatial scaffolding.

The object and it’s spatial architecture becomes ambiguous as spiders are both behavioral model informing the digital substratum and active agents of artistic production”

“The development of manufacturing strategies based on the material behavior allows an integration early logics of manufacture in the design process and an exploration of new structural typologies. “

03 BODIES IN F O R M AT I O N Description: Workshop by ACADIA 2018 Tutors: Andrew Kudless Location: UNAM, MĂŠxico City, Mexico.

Date: 2018 Collaboration: ACADIA 2018

This 3-day workshop will focus on the use of flexible fabric formwork in the casting of plaster and concrete.

Building on the work of many architects such as Miguel Fisac as well as the research at Matsys, this workshop will explore both analog and digital techniques for the design and simulation of casting using flexible formwork.

The workshop will cover instruction in Grasshopper and Kangaroo to simulate and explore variations in the constraints on the flexible formwork. In addition, students will work in groups to develop a collective series of cast wall panels.

Kudless’s projects, both speculative and built, harness the opportunities that exist within the digital field, to interrogate issues of design, craft, and fabrication.

Individually and collectively, the works present an examination of the tension that exists between the analog and the digital.

IN BETWEEN D I G I TA L A N D P H Y S I C A L FA B R I C AT I O N 1. First Step: We assemble the wooden mold with its respective parts. Once armed, we drew a grid where we set the rules to direct the curves of our casting. Once the grid was established, we made it with wooden or steel molds, depending on the technique that will be used.

2. Second Stage: Already established our grid and the mold, we had an elastic fabric made of lycra so that it could give the elasticity and resistance necessary to create our pre-cast. Once the fabric was stretched, we prepared a mixture of gypsum and fiberglass to plasticize the result.

3. Third Stage: Now ready the mold with the tensioned fabric, we place the mixture of plaster and fiberglass very carefully over the whole mold until it is filled up. We wait a period of 20 minutes for the mixture to dry and with gravity to settle the fabric to project the result.

4. Final Stage: The mixture is already dry, we check it manually and we take it to get out of the mold. Then, we disassemble the mold and detach the cloth until we obtain the complete piece and let it dry upside down until we obtain plaster curves. With this result, we verify the resistance, elasticity and the characteristics of the material with the gravity that give us as result, that marks the relationship between the digital and analogous manufacturing.

Exploring

a n a l o g and d i g i t a l t e c h n i q u e s for the design and simulation of casting using flexible formwork.

Bodies in Formation highlights the emergent relationships between architecture, engineering, biology and computation.

These cross-disciplinary relationships are radically changing the conditions for production in the field of architecture.

Transcending various scales and typologies and taking inspiration from a myriad of sources, Kudless’ work challenges our preconceptions of Architecture and the boundaries of traditional practice.

Location: Chapultepec, Mexico City, Mexico.

Date: 2014 Collaboration: Estefanía Anaya A park and a residential zone; divided by a great avenue, two neighboring zones continue to wither while undiscovered potential remains wasted. The shortest distance between two points is a line, but every line is different; the solution comes with urban unison. A bridge, a visual link: the intervention connects the two sides of a metropolitan sea through permeable architecture. Placing completely different architectural agendas on each side that react positively to the area. Thus, enabling the user to live a walkable city.

Urban fracture on the edge of Constituyentes Avenue, between the first section of the Chapultepec Forest and the San Miguel Chapultepec colony.

In order to solve this, our main objective is to work on integrating the trace of the San Miguel Chapultepec colony into Section 1 of the Chapultepec Forest to generate an urban link. To achieve this urban urgency, the plan is to blend the building trace into the park, materializing buildings on both sides that are similar but not quite the same, housing different program that respond to the site´s neccesity.

When analyzing the San Miguel Chapultepec colony,it appears to be programatically divided, having one commercial block, a cultural block, and an inactivity block.

Furthermore there are no buildings with sports or recreational use. Buildings facing Constituyentes avenue appear to be in a deteriorating state, which not only damages its interior space but loses its relationship with the avenue, further enhancing fracture on the site. Meanwhile, on the side of the Chapultepec Forest there is no program that faces the avenue, indirectly provoking waves of insecurity.

This is why we decidided to develop the program C (Sports and recreational), the one that has greater potential to link nearby recreational areas such as the Chapultepec Castle, enabling the user to move comfortably in this area.

05 FÉ Y ALEGRÍA R E G E N E R AT I O N Description: Project at Vertical Studio at Universidad Iberoamericana.

Tutors: M.Arq Juan Carlos Cano (Cano-Vera), Fermin Andrade, Victor Martínez and Juan Casillas.

Location: Port Au Prince, Haiti.

Date: 2014 Collaboration: Ana Sofia Narro and Mathieu Perrier.

Home to 9.9 million people, Haiti houses some of the poorest living conditions in the world. No constant water or electricity supply, no roads; no haven for any kid growing up. This is the sole purpose of foundations such as Foi et Joie, create a better place for children. The architectural challenge presented consisted of renovating the spatial foundations, the establishment itself. Responding not to chaos or tragedy, but rather to the extreme weather conditions; to the true necessities of the people, using only material that would be available to the people, in an aesthetic manner.

MISION

STRATEGIES

Fe y Alegria is an international movement of popular education and social promotion, based on the values of justice, freedom, participation, fraternity, respect for diversity and solidarity, aimed at the impoverished and excluded population to contributed to the transformation of societies .

1. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the area in order to respond adequately to the context.

2. Based on the old system of vernacular housing to which Haitian users are accustomed. New facilities will blend to local context, creating a sense of beloning while still providing a fresh architectural perspective.

ANTI-SEISMIC HOUSES Houses with the appropriate design to face an earthquake, built with a set of economical and technical principles for maximum resistance. The cube-shaped housing is the basic principle to ensure safety, this is then followed by a series of constructive steps to assure structural integrity.

06 MELBOURNE TAT TO O AC A D E M Y Description: Architectural Competition by Bee breeders.

Location: Melbourne, Australia.

Date: 2016 Collaboration: Ricardo López, Nathalie Franquebalme and Alexia Tardán.

The main objective of the project is to give identity to the Melbourne Tattoo Academy, such as a tattoo does on the human body. The urban strategy of the building is based on the ten year“North of Melbourne Structure Plan”, creating recreational areas in the local district.

The proposed architecture responds to the flows of the area, incorporating the building to the main road, enfasizing a public acces with an inner courtyard. This way, the geometric gesture allows a constant flow of pedestrians.

Consequently, seeing the current needs for public space of inhabitants in Melbourne, a public agora becomes the heart of the project, and then the heart of the district. A place for art to be contemplated, be it the human body or the academy itself.

Rene Descartes once said that “the being expreses himself through the body and the body through dimensions to discern between the good and bad�. This philosophy became a central idea in the project, which main objective is to give Melbourne identity such as a tattoo does on the human body. Throughout history, the idea of the tattoo represents hierarchy and maturity.

Following the psychology of this art, the tattoo has a special meaning depending on the place where it is drawn.

Just as a tattoo changes meaning depending on its location on the human canvas, the project agenda evolves and matures as you move along the project and the building becomes the skin on which the tattoo is drawn.

Similarly, depending on the level in which the user is involved the relationship of the agenda has a different meaning.

The urban strategy is based in the north of Melbourne structure plan. The project responds to the flow of the study area, incorporating the main avenues to have a constant vehicular and pedestrian flow. Similarly we attach a new public space to the city, creating more green areas and turning the building into an urban landmark.
