LIVE MUSEUM year: 2012
Trace in Querétaro TERRAIN
Queretaro,Mexico
Master plan
Live Museum is a project located in front of the local train station (now a Museum) in Querétaro. This museum is an artistical museum with workshops and art expositions. The form come from the context trace made by old constructions in Querétaro, (linear buildings with patios). This museum is guided by colors. Every color represent a different activity so the user can identify the museum and feel the change when the color change. Renders

KERAMIKINSEL REACTIVATION OF UNDERUSED SPACES (BAUEN IM BESTAND) year: 2014 Rottweil, Germany creator(s): Silvia Diaz, Nadine Hauff, Nicole Katzmarek
The main purpose of this project is the reactivation of spaces. We give a new function to an old factory in Rottweil, Germany, in order to reactivate the Neckartal river. The project is a ceramic factory where the visitors can live the process of ceramic manufacture, from the design to the final detail. Visitors can design their own furniture and take them home. On the outside, we design also a courtyard for the kids and an interesting landscape design based on grass and concrete slopes creating paths that guide visitors through the factory.
The essential elements of the project are CUBES and PATHS. In order to have a dialogue with the existing building we respect all the materials preserving the atmosphere and we add cubes in the inside to divide the space. Also we design a new building following the shape of the existing one but with new materials. Every cube represents a part of the process of ceramic manufacture. Also, the cubes have moving panels in order to make the space more dynamic. The working area is located in the ground floor and in the first floor there is a gallery and a restaurant.

BACHELOR THESIS NEST LOFTS
SMART BLOCKS year: 2014 Queretaro, Mexico Master Plan: Students from Last Project International Course creator: Silvia Diaz Render by: Getsemani Leines
Queretaro is an industrial city located around 300 km away from the capital city (Mexico city). Every day, around 45 people emigrate to Queretaro because of the indistry. For that reason, the demand of housing is really high. The problem is that the city is growing so fast and without planning; The developers are building in the outsides where the land costs less and they are ignoring the existing part of the city (the downtown). With this, the costumers are having problems covering their basic needs because the services are far away from them. The topic of my Bachelor Thesis is the
proposal and design of a "Smart block" with another 10 Students and developing one specific project for this smart block. A Smart block is a block where people can live and fullfill their basic needs, having also interaction with the environment and the city, Our solution was choosing a block in the downtown area, restoring the buildings that can be still used and creating new ones.
THE PROJECT NEST LOFTS are seven microlofts (microspaces for young people) where they can live, work and be themselves.

TARGET MARKET The building becomes an extension of the park and each loft has a facade that opens to the green area. The main spatial Concept is the use of a free floor plan so the user can make each space its own. The commercial space, located unter the slopes, comes with a double height with openings in order to provide cenital light.

RIO DANUBIO 2 RESIDENTIAL PROJECT year: 2015 Built in 2016 Mexico, DF creator: Silvia Diaz
This project is part of my professional life. Rio Danubio 2 is a Residential project that has 6 Appartments. It is located in Mexico City in the zone called Cuauhtemoc. This zone is near to the downtown of the city and is one of the most popular areas for living, The target market are families with medium to high socioeconomic level. The terrain is surrounded by more houses and residential buildings, a church a block from it and a big park infront of it.

HIRSCHVOGEL INDUSTRIAL & OFFICE BUILDING year: 2016- 2017 In construction San Juan del Rio, Queretaro Creator: Slot Studio
The industrial complex of Hirschvogel is located in the industrial estate of San Juan del Rio, Queretaro, and it is a property of 11 hectares. The project consists of an office building and two industrial buildings. The proposed masterplan seeks to satisfy the client's requirements, adapting them to a land that has a constant slope. The concept of the project stems from the need to seek for a balance between functionality, design, corporate image and budget.
A new topography was generated to respond to the needs, creating a great platform in an intermediate level in which the industrial areas are located. This platform is contained by a retaining wall, which together with the office building that is integrated in it, provide the characteristic image of the project. In addition, the final design considers aspects such as worker flows, natural light, regional vegetation and materials. The result is a functional project that is also attractive, full of nuances and with a strong personality.

PARQUE LINEAL COMPETITION year: 2016 Finalist Project Mexico, DF Creator: Slot Studio
Finalist Project in an international competition announced by Mexco City government, which proposes the rehabilitation of Ferrocarril Cuernavaca zone. Endemic vegetation, flexible pavement, efficient water management and social inclusion allow the architectonic program configuration to promote a social cohesion of the different neighborhoods involved. Pavement strategy drifts the whole Project, this involves the materialization of logic design starting from force particles which correspond to activities, interest sites or multiple use roads. Two base particles: (1) Circular pieces of prefabricated concrete that mark the center of activity areas, existing elements, and mark a route line like the railway. (2) Bigger circles in other materials like permeable concrete, gardens or rubber for playgrounds. These particles spread in shape of a fractal wave, creating a radial quartering in rectangular pieces that upholster the ground in most of the park's surface, leaving green intersecting spots in the interior of the park and in the border lane; complemented by particles that correspond to dfferent kinds of gardens.
