CONCEPT
Sonsuve means “sound” and “movement “ in latin. This is the name of a metro stop planned in Monterrey, Mexico. The location is in a district with several hospitals nearby and an incredible amount of noise polluting traffic. My colleagues and I considered these factors in our design of the proposed Sonsuve metro station.
Can you imagine what the Obispado sounds like? try me!

THE SHAPE
Base model to create different shapes using sound
We first set up four microphones every fifty meters apart to measure and analyze the sound created by the traffic. We used the data to design the structure’s shape to reduce the noise inside with isolated acoustics.
THE FUNCTION
Geometric modulation
The function Main access
The final design combines the practical function of the station with the shape that was created from the recorded noise. After having the final design, we created sound-proofing panels that will keep out the sound from the outside.

INNOVATION HUB
The Innovation Hub is a building planned on the campus of Tec de Monterrey where science and creativity converge. The building will incorporate spaces where people from different interests, backgrounds, and fields of study can collaborate to generate new ideas and creations.
The building’s location will establish a connection among residence halls, science labs, and classrooms. To include the ideas of the master plan, there will be an open area at the front of the building connecting the street and the interior buildings. The design my colleagues and I created is below.

This project gives a diferent perspective to the way affordable homes are usually designed in Mexico.
We designed homes that are flexible, adaptive and have the possibility of future vertical growth, by using prefabricated systems that make these houses more affordable and efficient to build.
