Container Community 01
Villahermosa, Tabasco
is located in the southeast of Mexico.
The speed of urbanization has caused the development of squatter settlements, and in this city, there are between 170 and 180 shanty towns situated in flooding areas. In order to improve the quality of living and safety of the inhabitants it was suggested to relocate the informal settlers in a better conditioned land. The dwellings are in deplorable conditions so I designed an emergency shelter that counts with the required infrastructure to give the population a better place to live.
The design consists in a community formed by groups of four 40ft containers. Each shelter has a small kitchen, a wet bath, living room, dining room and a bedroom with one bunk bed. The containers are settled in such a way that there is a small garden in between. The walls are covered with drywall and considering that the sheet roof has a high solar absorption (0.7) it will be white-painted in order to reduce the absorption to 0.3.
Over the roof, it will be placed a second sheet roof. This will absorb 30% of the solar irradiance and then it will be transmitted to a space between the roofs.

FLOOR PLAN The needs were to design a modern cottage house in a 2045 m² area. The project is located in an upper class neighborhood in the north of Saltillo. The house consists of two rectangular volumes; the first (ground floor) contains both private and public spaces: in the right side there are a living and dining room, a kitchen, a laundry and a TV room while in the left side there are 3 bedrooms. On the second volume (upper level) we can find the library. One of the requests was to have height ceilings so I decided to include a double - height ceiling TV room.

Other special request was to have very well illuminated areas. In order to allow the entrance of light and reduce the electric energy consumption, the roofs were placed over curtain wall. The interior spaces are strategically placed for maximum comfort, the bedrooms are located in a way that the excessive heat gain is avoided. Local materials are used as a sustainable measure and all the complex is surrounded by vernacular vegetation.

SITE PLAN
In the last years, Saltillo has become a very populated city because of the arrival of new factories. In order to improve the quality of life of all the inhabitants and due to the lack of a public space where the citizens of the city can read, study, enjoy an artistic event or just feel relaxed, I decided to design a space that satisfies those needs. The ensemble consists of two buildings, an open area, a bandshell and a parking site. In order to give calm and give the sensation of coolness, one of the buildings is surrounded by two water mirrors. The complex also have 28,535 m² of green areas, where it can be found local vegetation like ash trees, ahuehuetes, thujas, wild privet, dahlias and gerberas.

Some of the areas that constitute the ground floor are the lobby, the administrative area, the gallery and the book restoration area. On the second floor there are reading areas, single study workspaces and the general book collection. On the third floor we can find the cafeteria, the terrace and the green roof. THIRD FLOOR PLAN
The building is supported by 78 steel columns and the curved roof is made of reinforced concrete. The walls have an exposed concrete finish and the glass of the curtain wall on the second floor is green- coloured to create a contrast. SECTION AA

Solar Protection 04 Due to the high solar irradiance received by the south face of the postgraduate building in the Institute of Renewable Energies, the users complained about the thermal and lighting discomfort, especially in March, April and May.
To diminish the entrance of light and radiation, the windows used to have a glass protection film besides the fact that according to the original design of the building, it was built an overhanging roof, pretending to project shadows but it is not enough. To solve this problem, a shadow study was carried out.
FEBRUARY 23rd
With the aid of a Sun Path projection we could realised there is not enough shade along the year. Between November and January, the radiation enters along the day while between February and March this happens mostly in the afternoon. MARCH 21st

Overhanging design.
SOUTH ELEVATION
The proposal was to extend the existing overhanging designing an awning as well as a brise soleil in order to improve the protection in all the classrooms. The overhanging length was 1.90 m and the proposed dimension was 4.40 m.
Brise Soleil design. The proposed dimensions were 4 m x 6.60 m, placed one meter away from the railing to avoid the users to reach it.

After designing these protections, we carried out another study and we could see an improvement. With the installation of the overhanging and the brise soleil, the entrance of solar radiation only occurred during a few hours in the cold months (November to February).
