Parametric Installation combining parametric tools and digital fabrication, the concept is based on the study of a 2D geometry, that turns into a 3D component when pieces are rolled into pipes. The 3D scrpit enables the possibility to change the shape and form of the installation and take the lenght of each piece in order to develop the 1:1 physical scale model. Shape form and components were derived from a combination of digital and physical study.

Casa 12 is a house developed inside, under the concept of keeping a private space . The project is divided into 4 levels , which contain recreational areas like pools , game rooms , fitness center as well as public and private spaces. Each room contains an exclusive and unique view showing its modernity and simplicity. The presence of light in space is one of the most important features which enhance the program inside the house. The orientation of the volume forces a closed geometry on three sides of the house. The garden is an element that interacts with the surrounding home in its full context , creating multiple private spaces for users. As part of the program a pool was required, so the idea of​​ joining the garden borders open spaces to create an indoor pool that is outside was developed.

Malena residence is based on several needs requested by the client: open spaces, natural light and a renovation of existing facades. Under these guidelines the design was based on exploring the structure of the existing building, open spaces and facades to propose warmer environments in each room. The result exposed places with greater relationship with the garden and its surroundings and a new image of its facades without affecting the essence of the existing house.

The residence designed for a young couple , is located right next to the dam MadĂ­n . The project emerges from the idea of showing the landscape that currently exist in the division and eventually will disappear with the presence of new houses. Given the circumstances of the regulation division , we focus on proposing an object to hide a gap to the privileged view that the property contains The object is divided into private spaces (bedrooms, from service space) in basement, public areas (dining room, kitchen) downstairs, & recreational areas (Family room, event space, terrace) upstairs .

The project was proposed for a young family that lives and work in the same place. The young family inherited the house and decided to set up the office on the other side of the garden , the first problem to solve was the reduce the echo of the office and the house, so using digital fabrication we proposed and designed acoustic panels with unique designs . Through testing and prototyping the desired result of reducing the echo within the spaces was reached . Finally a special requirement from our clienst was to design customized wood panels with integrated vegetation so several proposals were presented.

Derived from the art produced by the malleability of a material, product of the combination of elements such as water , sand , mud and rudimentary technology such as a lathe, rigid pieces of variable geometry are obtained as a result of these human intervention. Taking inspiration from this process and the study of geometry produced by the continuous rotation of a malleable element , the idea arises of taking a non-rigid natural material such as wood ; so that by the combination of a digital and analog process, this element can be transformed into a flexible piece.

Research-digital and physical recreation

Professor

Sean Lu

The research aims to develop a feasible strategy towards the physical (paper models) and digital recreation of Arums shell structure through the use of Rhino software aided by the paneling tools and (Grasshopper) King Kong plugin. The research will be followed by two stages the first one will study the curve-creasefolding technique throughout an extensive development of physical paper models in order to understand the presence and importance of creases and rulings towards the creation of three-dimensional geometries made out of two-dimensional sheets.

The second stage will be followed by a deep exploration of Rhino Software and its different plugins in order to identify if these digital tools enhance and allow to achieve a physical and digital recreation and simulation of the curved folded geometries. The results demonstrate a feasible workflow strategy in which the application and interaction of Rhino software and it different plugins allowed the physical paper model and digital recreation of Arums shell structure.

At the same time through the physical model development the structural potential of curve-crease-folding will be exposed. Consequently, the research revealed the importance behind design and making, in which the correct interaction between physical models, digital tools and digital fabrication may lead to the materialization of architectural concepts.

A curved fold shape is a developable surface made of the patches of a smooth developable surface; such as a plane can develop a cylinder and a tangent surface a generalized cone, the presence of creases enables the creation of complex hyperbolic and elliptic surfaces. It is necessary to understand that traditional paper folding mostly uses straight creases, which surround planar facets and compose a polyhedral surface; however by modifying the crease and making it into a curved fold, the surface changes and become a three-dimensional form.

Bennerley Viaduct is a bridge of northern railways located in Derbyshire, which is now disused. The bridge spans erewash valley and connects Ilkeston and Awsworth. After this bridge became abandoned, the train stations and coal industries around it were also discontinued in 1980, which resulted in deactivation of areas around. Accessibility became a problem for this area resulting in companies closing their work in towns at both ends. This brought unemployment and economic decline to this area. Presently Ilkeston is only one of the few cities in UK without a train station. Therefore our brief for this studio directs a proposal of a train station on bennerley viaduct. This train station would bring economic prosperity, attract tourism and solve problems of accessibility for the area. Also a connection will be re-established between Ilkeston and Awsworth , and they will be connected to other parts of UK. At the same time network for cyclists will be reinforced due to activation of Bennerley viaduct. The design proposal will play a vital role in restoring connection between two towns and it will reuse Bennerly viaduct, as train stations would be accessed from the bridge. Consequently this design proposal will bring back life to whole urban area including viaduct and this place would get a new meaning.

Nowadays Mexico City is promoting the creation of multi-transfer center stations called CETRAM (CENTRO DE TRANSFERENCIA MULTIMODAL), in which many public transportation systems are gathered together. This was the final project of the career, and it consisted in the Integration, redesign and reorganization of spaces for the different public transportation systems which include, RTP services (public bus), subway, lightweight train, taxis and the South bus station. This project also included the redesign of the informal commerce zone, as well as the creation of a hotel and landscape proposal in order to reactivate the economy of the south part of Mexico City. The project proposal was very functional as it separated the pedestrian sidewalks from the public transportation systems, having as a result more fluent and organized trajectories. The Hotel proposal reflects a contemporary architecture with environmentally conscious design techniques, such as solar panels, natural ventilation efficiency, gray water and pluvial water recycling systems.

Urban Intervention

Daniel Canut | Carlos Salas

The Benito Juárez urban complex is a space that has marked the trajectory of modernity within Mexican cities. Their idealisms were part of the Mexican contemporary vision, that transformed the concept of city in Latin America. As history shows, the 1985 earthquake affected the public spaces urban development. In retrospect, the original project integrated the motorist users as a basis of movement between buildings, generating parks, commerce, office areas, and housing among others.

Since the 1985 earthquake the urban complex was forced to change, transforming the new conditions that the situation demanded. Several buildings were demolished, and may other public space areas were privatized; reducing the urban complex into simple terrains with separated programs. The project pretends to recover the public space, reintegrating the urban complex with a memorial that will bring a total reactivation of the zone. After understanding the original Mario Pani´s outline project, the proposal tries to reinterpret what was once the modern movement in Mexico.

The idea to recover the volumetric buildings was the guide to establish and propose a monument that no only evokes the feeling of remembrance of the victims, but also a public space that could be used every day at any time. For these reason the idea to pedestrianize the Orizaba

The faรงade emerges from the idea to reinterpret the characteristics that marked the Benito Juarez Urban Complex. Driven by artistic relationship generated between Carlos Merida and Mario Pani, we proposed to bring back the feeling between artwork and architecture, by recovering one of the murals that existed in each residential building. The concept sculpts the building faรงade with translucent concrete rational modules; the transparency evokes one of the residential buildings that were in that place.

Mexico City is the country’s largest city as well as its most important political, cultural, educational and financial center. Mexico City population is about 21 million people approximately, in which the public transportation systems presents many deficiencies making the city a chaotic place to live and work. This is why now a day The Mexican government is creating multi transfer center stations called CETRAM (CENTRO DE TRANSFERENCIA MULTIMODAL), in which many public transportation systems are gathered together in the same place in order to improve the people’s life. The project developed was the CETRAM Buenavista, which was about the integration redesign and reorganization of public transportation services such as RTP(public bus), Metrobus, taxis, subway and the suburban train. The entire project was quite a challenge, as it was necessary to analyze each public transportation system as well as the pedestrians’ trajectories in order to create fluid paths. The project includes a shopping mall and a cultural center unified with the multi transfer center station, the objective is to have temporary art exhibitions, in which the pedestrians and users can have fun and learn about different artists and styles while they are connecting with the different transportation systems. The project not only will help to reactivate the economy of the north part of the city, but it will also enrich people in several artistic aspects. The proposal has green facades that change according to the seasons, several cultural and green spaces, having as a result an aesthetic, functional and recreational project.

CHILENO BAY HOUSE

project location

Los Cabos, Baja California Sur

project type

Residential

Los Cabos is one of the most popular destinations for California surfers, the warm water breaks around Cabo are only a short plane ride or a good road trip along the Mexican coastline. The good surf combined with plenty of resorts, accommodations and partying make this place crowded at times. Even though Cabo is not as popular as the northern coast of Baja, it still offers some good surf spots. Due to a surf trip I made during my college years, I met a married couple from California who shared the same passion that I for waves. During this trip Josh, Karen and I surfed a place called Chileno Bay, that place hooked Josh in some way, as he told me that his dream was to buy a piece of land and construct his house in this place. As I was still studying architecture, I told Josh that when I finish college I would design his dream house.

Even though we lost contact, I decided to make a schematic design for them, as maybe someday we´ll meet again. The project consists of central stone box which include some services on the lower level and two boxes in cantilever supported by four structural archs on the upper level.

The ground floor is an open space with kitchen, warehouse, living room, dining room and bathroom; while the first floor includes the bedrooms, family rooms and a terrace. The house distribution combined with the use of natural materials of the region such as stone, brick and wood gives as a result a contemporary design with direct view to the ocean.

HOTEL WAKAL

Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca Touristic

The wakal hotel is project born from the idea of the wood boxes used in all the tianguis among Mexico. A tianguis is an open air market that is traditionally held on certain market days in a town or city neighborhood. In these places they sell different agriculture and modern supplies such as fruits, vegetables, clothes, music, movies, etc. These tianguis concept represent much of Mexican culture and has a history that extends far back into the pre-Hispanic period. While being in one of these open air markets in Puerto Escondido I realized that all the agriculture products from the fields were transported in trucks and then exhibited in wood boxes called guacales at the tianguis.

At the same time I observed how all the American surfers and tourists were transported in trucks to finally reach Zicatela beach and exhibit in front of the ocean and the sun. After all the observation I understood that tourists and the tianguis merchandise are just products. Therefore, I visualize that if we could extrude all these guacal boxes into a human scale concept, the result would be a modular youth hostel for tourists, right at zicatela beach.

The Amparo Museum is a Project that converges between the traditional architecture of Puebla, with the new contemporary architecture of TEN arquitectos. The museum started as a restoration; however the program looked for new spaces that could expose modern art, forcing to develop a new building located in one of the backyards. The idea was to create a simple stylized box that could increase the amount of square meters for expositions, giving a new image to the private museum. The crystal box started as an object that fits perfectly in the backyard, from this fact, the box becomes the point of departure to reestablish new connections in the circulations of the museum. The structure of the museum is originally composed by the joint of four colonial houses plus the cloister of the small church located next to the museum. The problem of these structures is that each one is situated at different floor levels, so the crystal box had to adapt an average of these levels to standardize it. For this project not only the restoration was a hard task, also the configuration of the program of the museum created many risks in regulations. As part of the project it was added an exclusive restaurant, warehouses, cafeterias, workshops, a library, and some administrative offices. During this particularly project we were involved not only in the design process but also in the construction supervision. Our team had to move 9 months to Puebla in order to supervise that the construction company did everything according to TEN arquitectos design; our main task was to supervise and develop immediate solutions to the problems that arose during the construction process. The result is a totally renovated museum that will display in all its glory the collection of more than 700 thousand pieces of pre-Columbian art, and its more than 300 works of colonial art, all added to the exhibition of contemporary art, giving a comprehensive view of the various stages of artistic expressions in Mexico and the world.

The client for this project asked for a place that disconnects him from his busy professional life, so he could enjoy his family to the fullest. The project was conceived as a home that exhales transparency and seeks to establish a dialogue between the interior living space and the outdoor environment. The use of natural light and the use of natural materials such as wood and stone were a crucial part in the design. The challenge in this project was the interior distribution, as they needed four bedrooms for each family member, and the government regulations only allows the construction of two levels in each house.

The main floor´s walls were replaced with glass, creating a dialogue between the outdoor and the inhabitable living space such as the kitchen, dining and living room, this main floor also includes a complete bedroom for the maid, guests or older people who can’t go upstairs. The second floor, on the other hand, accommodates the more private areas, such as the bedrooms and family room. The project looked forward to replace the walls with transparent glass panels, creating a seamless transition between each bedroom and space, with the enchanting interior garden, seeking full coexistence of each family member.
