The guidelines of this workshop were to create a housing building in any part of Mexico City, considering the context, plot regulations and a preliminary budget set after a feasibility study. My proposal was a mixed use project for low income people in a central area of the city where decent social housing is in short supply. The concept was to create apartments that could be adapted to the owner´s particular needs. Furthermore, it incentivizes social interaction among the neighbors in the common areas and interior patios. The project provides social housing in a low income area near an upper middle class neighborhood. It´s made up of 32 apartments; 12 of 65m2 and 20 of 85m2; 475m2 of office space and, 516m2 of commercial area on street level.
Apartment typologies of one and two bedrooms. Each apartment has a roofed terrace annexed to the dinning/ living room that gives the user the liberty and facility to transform it into anything that is more useful at a very low cost, (ex. additional room, studio, gym).

The objective of this studio was to generate an executive project and we had the liberty to design for any person of our choice. Based on our choice we would then have to consider the location, needs, and program from which to design. I chose to design for the Mexican photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo. After research I proposed a program based on his particular needs which included a in-house dark room, gallery, and studio. The starting point was two volumes facing different directions based on the preferred light for each specific room (South for the main house and living room and North for the gallery and studio). This created two separate open patios which ensure that the distinct volumes would have sufficient privacy. An important element of this workshop was creating technical and explosion drawings detailing everything from the fixed furniture to the different types of fixtures. It included at least 15 hand-made models throughout the semester.

WICKER PAVILION Pavillion Universidad Iberoamericana Mexico City academic project V semester team +4 This project studio was called “Enhanced Materials” and it’s objective was to chose a material to work with throughout the semester, understanding its qualities and limitations and ultimately creating something from it. We chose wicker because of its natural flexibility, resistance, and it’s noble nature making it easy to experiment with. Some of qualities we tested were resistance, deviations in diameter, length and density. We also tried out different weaving techniques to explore what type of shapes we could create. The key was to determine what combination of wicker density, diameter and weaving technique would give us the most freedom to create different structures. We started out weaving panels on a smaller scale with millimetric wicker straws to understand what could be accomplished, realistically, on a larger scale. After some experimentation, we decided to begin making panels that were about 10 times bigger with wicker that had approximately 1cm in diameter. We began weaving flat panels with the wicker of 3m x 3m and were later sewn together to achieve height. Our goal was to make a structure that would stand tall on it’s own and let the natural curves of the wicker shine in an impressive scale. The process was more trial and error than anything else, as we would weave, sew, build and reinforce as the structure demanded. To build in the most organic way possible we removed weight where the strain would be too much and reinforced the structures that could stand. We ended up with a volume 6.40 mts long, 2.90mts wide and 3.05mts high composed by 16 panels and 165 m2 of weaved wicker.

Av. Insurgentes Sur 701, Col. Napoles,Mexico City 69,510 m2 academic project IV semester team +1 The objective of this project was to create a mixed use tower that would showcase and protect the exposed murals by famous Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros in the Poliforum Siqueiros. The murals are placed on the facade and roof of the poliforum and the area around it is reduced, so the challenge was to build a structure around it that wouldn’t touch or affect it. I decided to divide the program into two towers that could connect over the poliforum to reduce it’s exposure to the elements. It would protect, without minimizing access and foot traffic on site. The smaller tower was designed to be a hotel that would connect on some flores with the offices spaces and thus generate common areas that would be useful for both programs. The residencial part was left on the taller building on the top floors to give privacy and better views of the city to it’s users. The site includes amenities that attract a wide range of visitors. These include, a gymnasium, food court, shops and a pavilion on the ground floor.

The hotel has single, double and triple rooms, the offices average 750 m2 and the apartments are of 80m2,120 m2 and 210 m2, and there are 493 m2 of available for commerce.

GETSEMANI CARTAGENA Mixed use; housing, hotel, commerce and centural center Calle de la Sierpe, Barrio de Getsemani, Cartagena de Indias, Colombia 3341 m2 academic project III semester team + 2
For this project we had the opportunity to travel to Colombia to design a mixed use building in the Barrio de Getsemani, an up and coming neighborhood a few blocks from the walled city. We were required to do a months investigation prior to the exploration trip. Our intention with this project, was to give the area a cultural space where low income housing would also be available. The plot we were assigned had a big terminalia tree in the centre which we chose to respect by building two perpendicular volumes around it and a third in a corner. The program includes a gallery, library, hostal, social housing and a commercial area. Housing and hostel would be on the top floors and commerce on the ground floor of the two main volumes. The third independent volume was reserved for the cultural space. Apartments and hostal rooms are 52m2 and 102m2, 847 m2 for commerce and 542m2 of cultural space.
The volume nearest to the street is two storeys high to blend into the city belt, the interior volume is three storeys high to provide more housing. Lattice facades provide natural ventilation in the warm climate.

Apartment Av. Medellin 216, Col. Roma Norte 06700, CDMX profesional project roof garden. project and execution My first project as an architect was intervening a new apartment in an up and coming neighbourhood in Mexico City. The owner wanted to take advantage of his penthouse and connect the rooftop directly to his living room. I designed a staircase descending from a glass cube into the bar area of the flat. The roof had the capacity to withstand extra weight so I decided to take advantage of this and creat a covered social with a grill, tally and greenery. In addition, the structure has the potential to be turned into a room if that were the client´s wish in the future. 1. 2. 3. 4.
