THE BARRA VIEJA HOTEL
LOCATION: Acapulco, Guerrero. Mexico 2010 YEAR: 2010 COLLABORATORS: Ricardo Montes, Belem Rodríguez, Angel Neria, Ana Laura López. The project takes advantage of the terrain and solar orientation, its design offers attractive views from every floor and an efficient air circulation. It was originally planned as a business hotel so the building offers the possibility to host major events and includes additional guest facilities designed for the businessman; nevertheless it is not restricted to this way of life by providing a wide range of entertainment options.

RESTAURANT_BAR
LOCATION: Puebla State, Mexico. YEAR: 2009 The restaurant-bar is located in Puebla, Mexico. Known for its history, gastronomy and early architecture, this city is a composite of tradition and modernism. The project recovers authentic materials like Talavera pottery of Puebla and quarry formerly used in main traditional facades. Being a building near the center of the city, construction guidelines are very strict. The design aims to create a pleasant environment using materials like wood and mosaic generating a dynamic space that fully respects the context in which it is located. The furniture has been designed specifically for the requirements of the site allowing a more efficient production based on prefabricated pieces. The project is divided into two floors lit by natural through the main lightwell and the zenith entries.

SPORTS CENTRE
LOCATION: State of Mexico, Mexico. YEAR: 2011 COLLABORATORS: Emmanuel Franco, Dulce Gil, Fernando Escobedo, Antonio ﾃ」ila The sports center is placed in one of the most important municipalities of the State of Mexico where public places for sport and amusement are scarce and violence rate is high. The space was designed as a social center for transforming the immediate environment providing entertainment options while taking advantage of uneven ground and abundant vegetation. First of all the project was developed individually and without digital tools determining the master plan, the design of landscape and of major buildings (olympic pool, gym and club house). Afterward, a number of projects was selected to be worked in teams of 5 students for further analysis. Each of the participants had to develop detailed architectural drawings of one of the main buildings (respecting the original set) and also help to digitize the freehand drawings.

e_Volo SKYSCRAPER
LOCATION: Mexico City, Mexico. YEAR: 2010 COLLABORATORS: Emmanuel Franco, Ricardo montes, Jesús Márquez, Sinahí Gómez. The eVolo magazine has an annual competition that involves the development of a skyscraper that aims to solve a problem disregarding the budget or the real viability. The exercise allowed us to understand our campus from a prospective point of view in which the current facilities no longer meet the needs of society. The proposal is located on the ecological reserve of the University City, away from the central campus. The first objectives were to analyze the possibilities of transportation to define the points of articulation between the existing buildings and the main roads, after I made a thorough research on nanotechnology and new materials to choose those that we will certainty find in the market, and finally I look for information about the more likely courses that would exist in 5

ABN COMPETITION
LOCATION: State of Mexico, Mexico.. YEAR: 2009 COLLABORATORS: Ricardo montes, Belem RodrĂguez, SinuhĂŠ Montes. ABN Contest is a competition that takes place every year within the school between students of the same workshop during the first phase, and between different workshops members throughout the second. This time we had to develop a proposal of high-density housing in one of the most neglected areas of Mexico City that should improve the users life quality by offering a comfortable and affordable place to live. The result is a set of long, narrow buildings structured with steel beams that interlock together creating common spaces of cohabitation. The general design consists of a central slope vegetation on which the different volumes are placed and seem to fly when we perceive them from the access, this allow a clear view despite the terrain extension.

SOCIAL HOUSING
LOCATION: Mexico City, Mexico.. YEAR: 2015 MArch Sustainable Environmental Design Architectural Association School of Architecture THESIS// Transgressing the social scheme of industrialized housing. In Mexico City, the uncontrollable urban sprawl together with the government’s inability to provide qualitative housing solutions resulted on simplistic residential developments that deprived users from the minimum habitable conditions. This project proposes a transgressive answer to this challenging urban, social and political context, providing a place where users, schools and private enterprises can work jointly. Located at the Benito Juårez International Airport, which will be in disuse by 2018, the design scheme focuses on sustainable principles and Mexican tradition, whilst taking maximum advantage of the weather characteristics. The master plan invites the user to walk around the complex and interact with their neighbors at different levels, regenerating the social life; and a flooding-friendly composition that retakes the chinampas agricultural methods for harvesting vegetables and flowers at a low cost. The project offers the possibility for inhabitants to acquire skills to produce housing components, construction materials and food items to be either sold at the local market or used for their own benefit, thus promoting social dialogue and enabling a Mexican Society to create better low income scenarios.
