“It is important for me to make architecture using basic materials and uncomplicated construction methods. I try to create a system that is based on pure architecture but becomes complex when people use it.� Keiichi Hayashi (1967)

Museum Site: Chihuahua, Mexico

This proposal seeks to place a contemporary art museum in a downtown urban area, while minimizing impact on the surrounding historic edifices. Projecting construction downwards serves to respect height limits, while simultaneously enhancing acoustics and regulating temperature. Dynamic shapes respond to the museum’s aesthetic program while regulating the density of users by creating nonlinear circuit.

Acuatic Center Site: Puebla, Mexico The inspiring idea of the project stems from the reflection of the existing reliefs on the site. The topography observed in Zacatl谩n, which is changing at different points around the site, dictate the way the planes and axes of the project would rise or descend to achieve the set.
