Mexican Social Housing: Promises Revisted

Portal 9: Make No Small Plans

Acuña Master Plan + Pavilion [Tatiana Bilbao Estudio] This social housing development on the U.S.-Mexico border was devasted by a tornado. A series of interventions brings new amenities and community spaces to the otherwise dilapidated neighborhood. A ‘Linear Park’ turns the existing infrastructure of the main artery into a green promenade. A winding bicycle and pedestrian path stitches other public spaces to the to the ‘Linear Park’, and integrates the more remote areas to the center. The four major public spaces include a Memorial to the 14 victims of the disaster, an area dedicated to health and food, a children’s playground, and a sport and recreation area. The Grill Pavilion creates a shaded, gathering area for a popular community event: outdoor cooking. The pavilion negotiates topographic change while addressing the street corner through two overlapping geometric grids with a hanging garden at their center. Concrete masonry units from the tornado rubble are reused to create the dynamic ground plane with built-in benches and grills. 2015 / Acuña, Mexico collaboration with M. Castillo, Y. Rangel, J.Futo, and K. Biczokowski

Northstar Residences [Bohlin Cywinski Jackson] Located on Lake Tahoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northstar mountain resort, these fourteen ski-in/ski-out homes include three unique designs. As a summer intern, I collaborated with a five-person team using Revit for permitting sets and construction documents. I was responsible for the stair details, exterior deck and railing details, interior millwork, and presentation drawings. Summer 2014 / Truckee, CA Greg Mottola (Principal-in- Charge), Denis Schofield (Project Manager) Design team collaborators: R. Alt, A. Ellenbogen, K. Bouret

This 32,000sf office space is a tenant improvement project on the 45th and 46th floors of the newly constructed Salesforce Tower. Utilizing a pinwheel layout, enclosed meeting rooms and work spaces become San Francisco clusters that help to define multiple “neighborhoods,” as well as unique corner lounge spaces. A wood slat wall is applied to the concrete core walls, defining the main circulation space that ties the various teams together. A related screen wall defines the edge of an open communicating stair that ties the two floors together, while offering dramatic views of the city. SERVICE STATION

Aspen Residence [Bohlin Cywinski Jackson] Tucked into a hillside, this private residence is a series of volumes strung along a glass enclosed walkway. In an effort to meet the strict zoning guidelines regarding the preservation of views, the house utilizes the topography to appear as merely a scattering of small pavilions from the road. Further down the hillside, the volumes open up to great views. Retaining walls clad in stone cut into the hillside, providing a grounding element for the otherwise airy, transparent rooms. I collaborated on this project with a team of four, and was responsible for general coordination and drafting of the elevations and sections, as well as material specification. 2016 / Aspen, CO Karl Backus (Principal-in- Charge), Chris Moore (Project Manager) Design team collaborators: D.

Mayan Workshop: Universidad de Otoch In Cancún, social housing developments are challenged by the seasonal economic swings and the perpetual migration of residents to and from their more rural indigenous communities. To combat these issues, as well as a general lack of identity and sense of local culture in Cancún, we propose building a new kind of school: a university devoted to indigenous culture that is distributed in small, formerly abandoned sites throughout the neighborhood of Villas Otoch. In Mayan, “otoch” means home, and Universidad de Otoch envisions a university rising out of the home and empowering residents with a means to pass on and sustain indigenous knowledge. We began our design process with an investigation of the existing houses, both in Villas Otoch and in older Yucatan villages where many of the residents originate. We found simple ways to renovate the Cancun houses to increase liveable, shaded, communal outdoor space to better support and foster community traditions. The protypes also scale up to accomodate classrooms, and other university facilities, such as teaching kitchens, a business incubator, pop-up corner stores, and craft studios.

Olympic Harbor While creating housing for the 2024 Olympic Games in the short term, this New Olympic Harbor will also provide Boston with a smaller scale, working waterfront- an alternative to the new high-rises in the adjacent Seaport District. Strips of unique housing typologies modulate scales between the convention center to the water and from South Boston to the Seaport District. The western two blocks are raised on podiums, which allows for a coexistence of two public surfaces- a commercial zone at grade and an upper level public green network that can be kept secure during the Olympic Games. A series of canals and pedestrian greenways tie all of the blocks together offering dynamic views of the waterfront. A linear recreational park along 1st St offers amenities for South Boston, and restores an axial connection to Pleasure Bay.

CASIS Headquarters (Center for Advancement of Science in Space) A diagonal urban pathway draws pedestrians from the water taxi terminal through the building and toward downtown Manhattan. This path essentially divides the building into two: an administrative building and a conference center. Articulated as a ribbon, the public sequence ties the two buildings back together. Beginning with a theater in the conference center, the public ribbon guides visitors past the payload control center, and then delivers them to a rooftop gallery where they can watch scientists working on the suspended space capsule with a view back to the park and river just beyond.

Narrow Lot Prototype This prototype for a single-family residence used the topography of the site to create a split-level house. The public spaces flow continuously on the ground level with the slope of the site. Two upper level ribbons contain bedrooms and bathrooms and can be offset further vertically or horizontally depending on programmatic needs, zoning, and the given site topography. The ribbons interlock around a central light well, which brings light down the kitchen, which is conceived as the symbolic and programmatic center of the home.

Bi-Nuclear House This bi-nuclear design encloses the private program, bedrooms and bathrooms, into two volumes that float within a continuous communal space. A two-story light well brings daylight through the center of the house. The private volumes each contain their own bathroom, which increases privacy and flexibility for the bedroom configuration. When replicated as a prototype, these volumes could also increase in length to accommodate additional rooms. The zoning code allows for the public space to flow into a partial third floor play space on top of the rear bedrooms. Spring 2013 / New Haven / collaboration with K. Bizycowski, B. Hancock, M.

The Chair My chair project explored the lyrical figure of the contiuous line. After a series of wire study models, I made a full-scale mockup for the mid-review. The frame is constructed out of 3/4â&#x20AC;? diameter steel tube on a tube bender using a 3â&#x20AC;? radius die. The leather is then dyed and riveted to the steel frame. Overall, the chair is lightweight and produces little material waste. Spring 2015 / Instructor: Timothy Newton

Reclaiming Industrial Hamburg In conjunction with HafenCity’s University of the Neighborhood Project, we indentified a series of sites that could be reclaimed through recreation in a postindustrial and largely immigrant neighborhood. We took each site and “re - designed” the game of soccer to fit each circumstance. Soccer then became a way to bring the community together, cross language barriers, and gain new agency over the spaces of the neighborhood. We designed graphics to explain the new rules, and organized a soccer tournament in which a wide variety of community members participated.

I wish our block had... As one of the Community Engagement Coordinators for the Yale Building Project, I organized and ran an event to bring the community together on the block where we were planning to build. The purpose of the event was to brainstorm and understand the block through a mapping project. Multiple stations allowed residents to tag largescale maps with their ideas, memories, interpretations of the block. The project brought community members together to visually discuss initiatives to reclaim vacant/ abandoned spaces in Newhallville. Additionally, it allowed students to better understand the socio-spatial dynamic of the neighborhood and site. Spring 2013 / New Haven / collaboration with Hiba Bhatty

Perspecta 50 As income inequality and urbanization reach record levels, our cities are increasingly divided. Often materialized through architecture, boundaries define communities for social, cultural, geo-political and economic purposes. Typically visualized as walls, fences, and security infrastructure, this condition is familiar and often understood as linear and binary: separating one entity from the other. However, Perspecta 50 seeks to investigate divides as a wider mechanism of global urbanism, and one that is more spatially and socially complex. As co-editor of this 50th issue of the Yale Architecture Journal, I coordinated the publication from the initial topic proposal through production. This included soliciting authors, editing twenty-four essays, and collaborating with graphic designers on both a website and the book layout. 2014-2017 / Published by MIT Press co - edited with Mahdi Sabbagh

Container Gaza

Railways and Airways

Timeless Gaza In Gaza, the inevitable processes of urbanism, such as growth and expansion as well as depopulation and decay, do not follow a linear timeline. Gaza is “developing” in a container that fluctuates based on artificially imposed variations in border control, siege, war and ceasefire.Yet, Gaza was once at the center of many networks. This study proposes a temporal collapsing of Gaza’s past connectedness with its future potential. Through a cartographic illustration of the trade and commerce routes that have shaped Gaza historically, we suggest a different reading of the enclave, one that helps imagine a new spatial configuration and economy that might inform Gaza’s future liberation. 2018 / forthcoming in Open Gaza, published by Terreform, ed.

Mexican Social Housing: Promises Revisited This book is a compilation of the projects developed at the Yale School of Architecture in Tatiana Bilbao’s advanced studio on social housing in Mexico. The book was developed in conjunction with the INFONAVIT (Institute of the National Fund for Worker’s Housing). In response to the aggravating abandonment rates in Mexican social housing complexes, the studio aimed to address this issue as well as the housing deficit. The studio’s focal point was to understand the specific environmental conditions each of the chosen case study housing complexes, and to cast a proposal that could architecturally reintegrate these spaces and transform them into a positive catalyst for its surroundings. The book features a general introduction of the problem and thematic of the studio, and a chapter for each of the projects: Monterrey, Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Guadalajara, and Cancun. During my internship with Tatiana Bilbao Estudio, I worked the text and diagrams for the introductory chapter. I also collaborated on adapting the studio projects into legible narratives for a book format, while coordinating with outside graphic designers.

They were essentially guaranteed to sell the houses because so many first-time home buyers were entering the market with their INFONAVIT credits, and they could not yet comprehend the consequences of living in these remote locations. Additionally, NAFTA enabled foreign investment banks to lend large sums of

Pani-designed project, Nonoalco-Tlatelolco, was built, and it was over ten times the size, with 11,960 units in total. Despite the growing size of these projects, the percentage of housing built with state support was notably low. In the 1960s, the total housing stock increased by 18 percent, but only 0.42 percent received state support.7

money to Mexican construction companies, a move which helped to expedite the rate of construction. Thus, both the supply and demand for these new and inexpensive homes began to skyrocket. These new neighborhoods are typically all single-family houses, but, nevertheless, they can reach the capacities of some of the high-rise complexes built a few decades earlier. For example, San Buenaventura, built in 1995, has more than 20,000 single-family homes.

In the 1960s, the constant demand for low-income housing caused a large amount of poor families to build their own homes on an incremental, ad hoc basis. These private interventions led to significant growth in the suburbs, many of which had no services, particularly in the periphery of México City. Beginning in the 1960s, the federal government gave assistance to these self-built neighborhoods by providing urban planning and infrastructure. Located on the northeastern edge of México City in the State of México, the municipality of Nezahualcóyotl, or Neza, is an example of these self-built neighborhoods that began urbanizing in late 1950s. Now its own municipality of 1.1 million, Neza had been for decades notorious for its subpar community services.

“To encounter these developments by land, by air, or even via satellite imagery, evokes a rare sensation. These are not the neighborhoods of a “Home Sweet Home” dream fulfilled, but are ubiquitous grids of ecological and social intervention on a scale and of consequences that are difficult to grasp. In these places, urbanization is reduced to the mere construction of housing.” Livia Corona Benjamin, Two Million Houses, 2014.1

how can new developments learn from more successful social housing of the past? Social housing policy in México has a long and complex history. When México’s first constitution was written, in 1917, it included a clause that required companies that employed more than one hundred workers to provide “comfortable and hygienic living.”5 But as a young, modernizing nation, very few companies in Mexico had the means to fulfill this requirement.

There are more than 35.6 million homes in México, and an estimated 4.9 million are vacant.2 Yet, nine million households still need adequate housing.3 How is this possible? Over the past two decades, politicians have pledged to build millions of homes, assured that the free market would work to solve the housing deficit. Developers rapidly built affordable single-family homes to meet market demand. At first, it seemed to succeed—at least numerically: 2,350,000 houses were built between 2001 and 2006.4 However, these new housing developments suffered from severe problems in terms of location, infrastructure, access to employment, community services, social identity, and architectural quality. Consequently, many residents have left these developments in search of better housing opportunities, and, currently, nearly 14 percent lie abandoned. How did such an impressive story of social housing construction turn out to be such an urban and social failure? How can these developments be improved, and

In 1932, one of the first worker housing developments, Colonia Balbuena, designed by architect Juan Legarreta, was completed. Of the 108 units constructed, most were single-family houses. However, the development also included some duplexes, with commercial space on the ground floor. From 1940 to 1950, México began transitioning from a largely rural society to an urban society. This transition, combined with the creation, in 1943, of the iMSS, or the Mexican Social Security Institute, led to a boom in the construction of social housing in urban areas. Architects such as Juan O’Gorman, Mario Pani, and Pedro Vazquez designed Modernist projects that embraced ideas of construction standardization, simple form, open space, and ample light.

2017 / Published by Actar

The following decades saw social housing developments continually grow in size and scope. One of the first high-rise complexes, the Miguel Alemán housing project, designed by Mario Pani, was completed in 1948. Originally planned for two hundred units, it ended up including 1,008 units.8 From 1958 to 1964, another

In 2000, President Vicente Fox publicly promised to give three million credit-loans for new houses in México. He increased the funding for INFONAVIT, and 2,350,000 houses were built by the end of his term. Fox’s successor, Felipe Calderon, oversaw the issuance of three million more INFONAVIT mortgages. By 2010, however, the high abandonment rates of these neighborhoods began to become apparent.

In 1972, a law was passed to create a national housing fund and establish INFONAVIT to administer the fund. This law significantly changed the market for social housing. All employers were now required to contribute 5 percent of their workers’ salaries to the fund,8 and workers were given the opportunity to get a home loan with credits administered by INFONAVIT. This law also enabled national compliance with the original constitutional law regarding workers’ right to housing. In September 1985, a severe earthquake struck México City, and many social housing units were severely damaged. Pani’s Tlatelolco was a scene of major destruction. A few of its high-rise towers were completely destroyed, and photos documenting their collapse have become iconic. The earthquake’s impact may have contributed to a general fear in México City of highrise social housing and, along with other social and economic factors, influenced a shift in the general public to favor low-rise, single-family housing. The 1990s marked both a boom in social housing production as well as a shift in the type of developments being built. In 1992, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed, and President Carlos Salinas de Gortari approved a constitutional amendment allowing communally owned farmland (ejidos) to be bought and sold. Developers quickly began to buy up this land at very low prices. They were able to use the cheap land, mostly located on urban peripheries, for building social housing at a high

Portal 9: Make No Small Plans

Act of Cr

A Beirut-based publication, Portal 9 pursues stories and critical writing about the city. This essay was developed specifically for the journal as part of a series on infrastructure projects in the Middle East and the professionals (architects, planners, engineers) responsible for them. The largest engineering project ever built, Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Cities of Yanbu and Jubail are the focus of the article. Through interviews and archival texts, my co-author and I uncover the story behind the Yanbu master plan prepared by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, while analyzing the resulting cities today and the claims made by the local politicians and corporations. Many documents illustrate the cities as central to a national economic development plan, while also revealing it as an experiment of social engineering. Related to wellknown criticism of the “tabula rasa” masterplan, we ultimately question whether a vibrant city could ever be built from scratch - especially when the city itself was conceived merely as oil infrastructure. 2015 / forthcoming in Portal 9 published by Solidere co - authored with Jason Kurzweil
