STRUCTURAL GRID

BOSQUES DE SAN PEDRO 2022

Local Analysis Main problematic

The main problem of the housing in the neighborhood is that 40% of the incomplete houses are abandoned, but the rest are inhabited.

Through a demographic speculation, we notice a paradox in which housing is increasing, however, the inhabitants are decreasing.

To understand better, we made observations on the main street and we were able to notice several reasons for this.

We noticed that it is a neighborhood full of families, active and diverse, however, its insecurity and robberies prevent the houses from continuing their construction adequately.

Other important factors would be the water damage that occurs in the streets and sidewalks, due to the runoff of rainwater from Cerro de la Silla, since it is located on the outskirts of Juárez.

Instead of proposing a sustainable home, wouldn’t it be more honest to recycle?

A diversity of facades was noted in the neighborhood, of which certain existing architectural elements were implemented as design strategies in our housing proposal, emphasizing its existing character.

Four families of the neighborhood were interviewed in order to find relevant data on their lifestyle and quality of housing, which were obtained.

Afterwards, an adapted version of the book Tools to inhabit the present was implemented into our project, were we evaluated each selected residence, as well as a diagram of housing growth that we obtained during the interview of each individual.

Urban Proposal

Water Usage and Drainage

The neighborhood is located right next to Cerro de la Silla, which is why a rainwater harvesting system is proposed to prevent the accumulation and puddle of water, which also increases the quality of roads in the neighborhood for better public circulation.

This proposal takes advantage of the natural flow of water, guiding the runoff down slope, capturing in different green interceptors and redirecting it underground. These capturing spots also function as meeting points/pocket parks for the community around the neighbourhood.

SPOT C Meeting Point

PLUVIAL NATURAL FLOW Underground rerouting

We proposed a diversity of centers for a diversity of people in which they all include mixed uses to extend their stay and reduce insecurity by increasing the number of activities within the community.

This connection spaces engage an existing design pattern found in the neighborhood, to create order and unity. These design elements being light structure, symbolism, multipurpose and resignification of local materiality.

For its construction, four self-produced actors are involved, these being the locals that is the community of the neighborhood, the architect, the builder on site and the user himself, creating an active community.

Main problem. The house has abandonment problems in its design that make it impossible to use the house properly. It is incomplete and consists of 4 unused rooms, due to the fact that there is only one elderly user who was looking for a more efficient home.

Solution. After the intervention, a house is obtained that satisfies the needs of the user through three stages that were 1. enable housing 2. profitable space 3. productive space and solved by present actors, as well as the incorporation of the mentioned peculiarities transformed to design strategies.

Housing Proposal

For the empty lots in the neighborhood, a progressive dwelling was proposed, which is totally adaptable to the needs of the user. This is due to a service core that has what is necessary, so that its expansion would be flexible and different for each person, creating in itself the community of Bosques de San Pedro.

AQUATIC DOME ITESM 2021

The Aquatic Dome of the Tecnologico de Monterrey ceased to be used due to the creation of the Wellness Center, for which it was wanted to be demolished to create another building. However, a space rehabilitation was proposed in which it becomes an area of design and engineering for students and teachers.

As a focal point, it was decided to highlight the same roof with overhead light with perimeter beams that would give a multipurpose space to the center of the space. Its surroundings are divided with furniture that delimit the area and provide storage for all of these spaces that function as workshops and lounges. Section A
