AUTHOR: Luis Enrique Moreda Rovirosa INDIVIDUAL PROJECT

STUDENT REPRESENTING UNIVERSIDAD DE LAS AMÉRICAS PUEBLA ( UDLAP )

PROJECT COMPLETED IN A PERIOD OF THREE DAYS

The project consists of generating a space in Cuernavaca, México, where users of any religion can perform their own ceremonial activities, either together or individually.

Taking advantage of the vegetation and the favorable climatic conditions of the place, the aim is to create a relation with nature and divine, promoting spirituality, for this reason different components are created for reflection, meditation and harmony of the human being. The main objective of the project is to show the journey of life and thereby induce an assessment of it, because of that the project is structured based on a narrative divided into different stages, from the beginning of life to the end and be able to trascend.

A secondary objective of the project is to demonstrate that there is a sacred thread that leads our lives, regardless of religion, which we can perceive through the different natural elements present in nature. The complex works as a public space, opening in its entirety towards the city, but at the same time privacy and individuality is also sought, especially introspection.

URBAN REGENERATION PROPOSAL: LA CALERA MIXED COMPLEX

Urban Regeneration Proposal

TEAM PROJECT: THE MASTERPLAN

COMPLETED TASKS:

-Team Leader -Context Analysis -Information

Mapping -Preparation of diagrams and maps

-Rendering production -Site visits

The project consists of carrying out an analysis along three different scales: The regional scale, the neighborhood scale and the scale of the architectural object. An analysis began to be made at the regional level of La Calera area , one of the many existing regions in Puebla City.

An important fragmentation between society and the infrastructure of said location was identified in the region, in addition problems were identified in the region as a lack of green areas and public space, in addition, a loss of identity in the region could be observed.

It was essential to recover green areas, generate new infrastructure for public use, rescue damaged or contaminated natural spaces, promote sports, coexistence and recreation.

This is how the regional scale went to the neighborhood scale where a master plan was proposed that could solve these problems, new infrastructure, new roads, routes, alleys, existing buildings with a new use, green areas, etc. were located there.

Expected Results

La Calera Mixed Complex Individual Project In The Masterplan

La Calera Mixed Complex is the project elaborated on an architectural object scale, it is located inside the masterplan proposal and in the great void of Antigua Calera that can be interpreted as a great wound that does not allow continuity in the area. The proposal seeks to have a large number of activities so that it can always be active and with a wide variety of users, which is why a modular structure was proposed to which each space can be adapted depending on the needs.

The structure is made up of 1-meter-thick concrete columns and beams and uses a reticular slab that can withstand spans of up to 10 meters. The facade consists of a latticework made up of steel bars that prevent the passage of direct light towards the building and allowing ventilation at the same time, it also makes use of various skylights and windows that promote coexistence with the outside. Various components are inserted into the structure, such as bleachers, ramps and various objects that can be assembled in a simple way to the structure, this allows the structure to transform over time and adapt to new needs.

The bike lane proposed in the master plan plays an important role in the function of the building because it crosses it and generates a route through the entire building, making it an unique experience.

GLOBALIZATION WORKSHOP | 2020 ARTS AND CRAFTS CENTER

Cuautle + Luis Enrique Moreda TEAM PROJECT

The project consists of the rehabilitation of an old house located in “El Alto” neighborhood in the Puebla City, Mexico, with the purpose of giving it a new use as a school of arts and crafts, the existing state of deterioration in the house was remarkable. The old house is made up of historical elements such as old beam slabs from more than a century ago, also have parasitic elements that have been added by informal establishments that have happened over the years.

The proposal for the new Center for Digital Arts and Crafts seeks to respond to problems present in the neighborhood such as insecurity, poverty, lack of opportunities and erroneous perceptions by the rest of the city. The neighborhood of “El Alto” was the first neighborhood founded in Puebla and is currently segregated from the city, so the proposal seeks to integrate the neighborhood back into the city and offer useful spaces that respond to the current needs.

An analysis of the area was carried out where it was concluded that there were three main problems to be solved, the different data and information were collected and it was shaped to a complex system diagram where it was possible to reach different design criteria as a solution for the problems, using them in the project meant that the rehabilitation was likely to be successful and at the same offer a sensorial experience to the user thanks to the creation of unique atmospheres.
