Purisima apartments Col. El Mirador, Monterrey, N.L., MĂŠxico. The Purisima Apartments complex is located at the colonia El Mirador in the center of Monterrey, facing the plaza la Purisima. It is a complex of four tower apartment building offering homes for young and old people. At the very same spot, the commercial perimetral building is penetrated by a 10 meter passage that connects the interior space of the complex with the plaza la Purisima, rather than privatizing yet another place of land.

Paraguas urban mobiliary
Esplanade of Museum of Mexican History Coworkers of competition: Salvador Herrera Federico Ruschke
With the purpose of recovering areas with lack of use in strategic zones of the city, the idea of creating a module with an umbrella shape came up, capable of creating new spaces that could connect important zones with an interior-exterior transition. The application of this concept will create a diversity of environments where a variety of activities can take place. The composition of the mobiliary consists in a base, where a set of four flexible wings extend, fasten to the wings is a plastic cover.

Independence geriatric center col. Independencia, Monterrey, N.L., MĂŠxico. The geriatric center is located within one of the poorest and conflicted zones in Monterrey. The design of the geriatric center must create an atmosphere and experience that allows the residents peace and joy during their stay. The geriatric center must allow the control and protection of the residents, while maintining a free and open atmosphere.
site The area for the geriatric center is located facing the largest plaza in Mexico, Monterrey’s own macroplaza. The capital gain of the area is really valuable due to its ubication and important views. It is also two blocks away from the basilica of guadalupe, where citiziens of monterrey make big walks due to religion. faith.

Public Parkspace.
The park was designed with a variety of ideas to be incorporated such as: Protection, visual appeal, contained, urban, natural, human scale, sustainable, social location, interaction, experience, sport, culture, housing extension, relaxation, activity, health of body and mind. These along with others are some of the considerations taken within the design.
Spaces can be made by elements found on nature. The interesting part is what to do with them.

M.A.M. Monterrey Architecture Museum Coworkers of competition: Salvador Herrera Federico Ruschke Rodolfo Soto Gabriela Soto
The Fundidora Park is a landmark in Monterrey due to its rich regional history. The design of the New Museum of Architecture contributes with an active space for public life and to allow citizens to circulate throughout the park. The museum continues the park circulation with a large passage, where an esplanade takes place, and where the entrance of the Museum is located. The museum creates a loop where walking is allowed above and below. On the top of the Museum there is an observatory, where one can attain a superb view of the cityscape.

Tejido de ideas proyecto efímero Concurso en colaboración con: Alejandra Franco
Por medio de la unión y conexión del trazo de líneas y diagonales tensados de las ramas de los árboles y de los muros de ladrillo, se crea una retícula de mecate formando una cubierta, siendo un captador de globos los cuales simbolizan ideas. Al mismo tiempo esta retícula crea ligereza, transparencia y movimiento en el espacio que se está conteniendo. Los globos de distintos colores representan las diferentes ideas que los estudiantes van teniendo y van guardando y almacenando para que no se escapen y algún día poder ser desarrollados.

Concurso Media Conector Arquine Concurso en colaboración con: Alejandra Franco Rodolfo Soto Cecilia Garza Andonie La propuesta es regenerar y condicionar el Río Bravo que atraviesa a Ciudad Juárez. Transformandoló en un espacio cultural, recreativo y ecológico. El diseño surge de la idea de combatir el río en un camino y un recorrido sobre toda la ciudad, con el fin de que la gente se pueda adueñar del lugar creando un ambiente sano, seguro y educativo. A tráves de unos módulos desplantados sobre el río, donde el programa es albergado. Estos espacios estarán aterrizados sobre la línea horizontal, creando un movimiento y fluidez como las corrientes del río.Los módulos sirven como elementos unificadores donde se desarrollará una convivencia de los ciudadanos, brindándoles la accesibilidad a la educación. El espacio abierto se reforesta dando lugar a un escenario perfecto para múltiples desarrollos, uniendo Juárez y haciendo una ciudad mas grata de habitar.

Casa Cumbres This is a proposal for a housev located in a potential site in a residential complex in the west of the city of Monterrey. The street regulations were already ignored by the old constructors. Due this action the construction regulations can be ignore d by the future develpers. Inseatad of also ignoring the construction regulations I choose to follow the street housing situation and the park.
Estación Teatro New York. U.S. Concurso en colaboración con: Carlos Gonzalez Manuel Fer El proyecto tiene como propósito reinventar la tipología del teatro, afectando a las dos partes que lo viven: el espectador y el actor. La manera de impactar la expereicnai del receptor surge de la identidad misma del terreno en el que se emplaza, al manetener los vagones que contiene en su esencia de movimiento. Los vagones, así, se tornan el palco en el que el espectador se sienta a ver la obra, este vagón esta conectado con el sistema de transporte urbano de Nueva York, de tal manera que la procesión es completamente nueva. En segundo lugar se propone un teatro con un escenario total de 3 dimensiones el cual recurre a la verticalidad para rodearlo de diferentes niveles de gradas, las cuales a su vez pueden funcionar como teatros independientes.

Project models
Architectural scale models have always been the easiest way to understand a project. Sometimes, model exploration make the biggest breakthroughs in the design of a project. Here are some model I did while doing an intership with Vidal Arquitectos.
