Marchesini - All year garden
Participation of the project: The project was divided in spatial design and landscape design in where I was in charged of the landscape analysis, concept, project, collages and grapichs.
We design a sensory landscape where marchesini workers can stimulate their sense engaging sense of sight, smell, touch and hear with the different perennial vegetation planted. A landscaping design is proposed in a curved shape that hugs the campus and gives a feeling of softness and light in this already very heavy and gray space. Where we play with the vegetation and the senses of the workers.
The landscape design was based on the principle of providing marchesini workers with a diversified and dynamic experience where their workspace is transformed into a land-
scaped space. A plaza, pocket parks and rest and work space are proposed in the domus area and all around the campus. Along with a flexible program, the objective is to satisfy the needs of the marchesini workers where interaction, connection and communication are fostered in a less polluted environment. We want to show the beauty of both flowering and weakening in landscapes that respect the natural cycle of life. So our goal is to create a wild-looking garden that is both poetic and stimulates the senses. We use perennials, especially small flower plants, as they grow and bloom during spring and summer, die off each fall and winter, and then return in the spring to their roots. Perennials, unlike annuals, will color Marchesini garden year after year. The best part is that they require little maintenance.
Location of the pollution patterns
This pattern is the result of exhaust and dust generated by the cars. The presence of this type of pollution affects more the north wing of Marchesini.
PM 2.5 & PM10
CO & NO2 & PM
This is the pattern produced by the railway and train emissions. It has a low degree of pollution compared with the roads pollution.
This patterns represent the CO2 produced by the main factory. It also produced heat that affects the climate in the area.
PM2.5 and PM10 that represents the particulates in the airflow has a medium degree in the area. This is the result of the industries and also the wind direction that moves these particles from cities in the north into Pianoro.
This pollution is generated because of the road pollution, exhaust and microplastics. The Road on the west is the most affected.
Photosynthesis
SO 2 & O3
The NO2 is severe at night, it reaches its maximum at 22:00 and return to normal at 10. On the other hand the CO has a light degree and there is not so much difference between big cities. The pattern reveal how Marchesini has more presence of NO2.
The pattern of th industry pollutant. Also generate because of the outof-town factory. the marchesini area is the most affected due to the emissions it produces.

Participation in the project | In charge of the conceptual idea. Responsible for the graphics, collage and blueprints for the project.
Description of the project | On a 1007m2 plot located north of Mexico City, with average temperatures between 11 and 18 degrees Celsius, a design was generated to take advantage of the temperatures and orientations.
The patio and circulation are a fundamental part of the design concept of the house, since they were strategically designed so that each space in the house can be integrated with a patio or terrace. Therefore, each space is designed to be able to have a direct relationship with the exterior through internal patios and thus take advantage of the orientation, prevailing winds, views and generate greater thermal comfort.
The design of the house is made up of patios between volumes in order to obtain the greatest amount of sunlight and generate thermal comfort in all spaces of the house. Because of the client’s request, a parking lot for 14 spaces was designed in the basement.
A house was designed to generate a transition from the public to the private. We have a main access, one for the service and two vehicle accesses, one for the ground floor parking lot and one for the basement.

Participation in the project | In charge of the conceptual idea, the realization and the modeling of the scaffolding pavilions, urban analysis and master plan. Responsible for the graphics, collage and blueprints for the project.
Description of the project | The Parque México Nuevo project is a cell that yearns for the citizen’s appropriation of natural spaces. Stairs and ramps are proposed to resolve the connection between the rugged topography and thus generate universal accessibility. The rehabilitation of the uninhabited and almost abandoned park is proposed, turning it into civic and community spaces. Finally, the reintegration of infrastructure and nature is proposed through a low intensity intervention in an environment of permanent transformation.
Considering the strategic location of the site, being the only public green space of such an extension (9 hectares) that could function as equipment and green infrastructure for the vulnerable population of the area. We propose the project as a possible and eventual regeneration of the entire environment, based on the connectivity with local actors and the appropriation of the space itself by the users.
This project consists of the regeneration of the park and the existing spaces, the design of a main pavilion in which a space for teaching the area is proposed. And also the design of temporary pavilions of scaffolding that work for different uses and in order to generate a low-cost space and thinking about our user.

The scaffolding pavilion is a low-cost, modular prototype whose function is to activate an uninhabited urban area in this case, Parque México Nuevo, with “transition city” materials (that is, scaffolding, blue scaffolding nets, shrink wrap). One of the objectives of the project is focused on revitalizing the area where there are fewer trees and the area around the runoff, through ephemeral programmatic injections. In order to experience the inclusion of this public space in front of the community and a participatory design, improving the interaction of the community with the park.
In this way, the project stands as an exploration of opportunities to experience the effect of relatively small, mild and temporary interventions that are characterized by dynamism, immateriality and indeterminacy in an XL urban scale scenario.
Because of Covid-19 a base individual module 1.8 m wide by 1.8 meters long by 2.5 m high was designed. This is the base module which was proposed for the optimal space for a person due to the social distance of the current situation with the pandemic. In addition, it is a light and open module, thinking and analyzing what urban spaces will be like in this new normal, open spaces, where air circulates and natural light arrives and that they have an optimal internal space guiding us from social distance.

Bucareli Avenue was inaugurated in 1778. Bucareli was and until now is one of the most important avenues in Colonia Juárez, it connects with the Historic Center and its proximity to the central Alameda, Paseo de la Reforma and Chapultepec, make it a main artery. The analysis of the site gave us a lot of information, most relevant we have is that Bucareli is benefited in its location between Av. Chapultepec and Paseo de la Reforma. It has a lot of permeability thanks to transport and the metro and one of the main problems is that there is only 8% of trees and green spaces.
The project consist in a temporary building, whose structure is made
with laminated wood. It was designed to be one of the first projects in Latinoamerica made with a wooden structure. Its program is about housing capsules and room for people on the street, vulnerable and temporary people. We wanted to generate a simple project in question of materials. In order to generate a structure that was easy to assemble and disassemble in order to take advantage of the materials and their useful life. Inexpensive and good quality materials are used. Five materials stand out in the project: laminated wood, polycarbonate, vegetation, covering wood and concrete.
In the masterplan our proposal is a series of micro projects where we can achieve a “sociable Bucareli”, generating proposals such as pocket parks, rooftop orchards, first commercial level, and the use and recovery of abandoned buildings. In addition, our proposal is the regeneration of a Bucareli without cars, where the street is pedestrianized and public transport is used only to create a linear park, which not only connects two avenues very important, but also a place to stay and recover what was before the so emblematic Bucareli.
When we went to the site, and after analysis we were able to see that the situation with the homeless was really complicated for them and the sector, so we thought why not create a temporary housing project, where they can have a room at night, have community bathrooms and a place to prepare and be able to get ahead. That’s how Árbola was born, a community center with capsule rooms, open plan and wooden structure.

XOLOTL, PAUTAS DEL PAISAJE NAMIKI: PUNTO DE ENCUENTRO
Participation in the project | In charge of the graphics, the concept of the route and the design of the park. Perform the site analysis and participate in the design of the health center.
Description of the project | The vast majority of those who live in this area are virtually unaware of this mountain range and the importance it has as a water catchment, as a unique space that houses an important biological diversity to the north of the Federal District and as a natural filter that retains many of the pollutants generated by the numerous vehicles and industries in this northern part. Irregular and regular settlements cause about 20 to 30 hectares to be lost per year.
This is influenced by the boom in subdivisions and the uncontrolled
expansion of the metropolitan area. What is happening, the advance of the asphalt stain at the expense of forested reserve areas, is increasingly accentuated in the municipality of Ecatepec de Morelos.
Meeting point “you have to live it to believe it” comes from the Nahuatl translated into Spanish of the word “to meet” it is about a knowledge space of approx. 24,000m2 and is located in Xólotl. It is a botanical knowledge center, in which you learn while you walk through the different pavilions, ranging from a labyrinth, to orchards ... A space with a great variety of knowledge, where each pavilion teaches you something about the Sierra in terms of its vegetation and fauna, it also contains a health center, a sports center and a viewpoint.

Participation of the project | Generation of the conceptual idea, in charges of blueprint, collage, renders and 3d model.
Description of the project | The project was generated with a concept that contains five fundamental pillars. First, a harmonious environment because we think of a space that is friendly and easy on the eyes. Moreover, we opted for a color palette where the color that stands out is warm light gray, having as a connotation of river stone, which encourages nature. A pink accent, shaded with tight shades of coffee, illustrates Irene’s empowerment and what she represents in her family. Furthermore, a resilient space was designed where each piece is basic to use, clean and without visual noise.
Also an easy-to-clean space made of sturdy low-maintenance materials. We design a multifunctional space. A space without walls, so that the house can adapt to Irene’s family. A functional table was designed, which on the one hand becomes a work and study table, and at the same time it is part of the kitchen being a dining room and a support console.
In addition, we proposed a bright space, because we generated different environments through light, and we create additional textures with the lattice that change throughout the day. Finally, a space with responsible design. We only chose pieces by Mexican artisans and designers with natural finishes and simple geometries, in order to have less environmental impact.
