Can Lis
Montezuma Castle National Monument
Morte explores the hybridization of two given precedents: Can lis by Jorn Utzon and Montezuma’s Castle. The project began to take form through the documentation and analysis of the precedents. A hybrid of the two was created with the intention of depicting a gradient of space that was observed. The final conception portrays a cemetery located in an imaginary site. The form is meant to be sculptural and monumental. A series of walls helps to emphasize the mimicking of floating volumes each designated for a specific purpose as the visitor experiences a very specific procession.

I 01 Lubricus Rubellus “Earthworm” I Design I Fall 2015 | Professor Lorena del Rio | The earthworm is a subterranean animal that consists of two sets of muscles that help the creature propel itself in order to dig through the earth. These two sets of muscles are a series of circular muscles that run along the body of the earthwom as well as a series of longitudinal muscles that span the entirety of the creature’s body. During my study of the creature, I identified two sets of muscles which aid in recognizing their relationship. Both sets work separately as well as together in order to create a propelling movement of the animal.
