INNOVATION in DESIGN with CREATIVITY

EXPLODED VELODROME
This 10x10x10m concrete pavilion symbolizes the physical and emotional journey that everyone faces when navigating trauma to reach triumph. It represents the struggle, resilience, and eventual self-discovery that occurs through these transformative experiences. Ultimately, the power to heal and grow lies within each of us. Inside the pavilion, personal stories are shared, offering a space for individuals to reflect on their goals and the ongoing work they do on themselves, showcasing the strength and vulnerability required to transform one’s life.
This is Niuvi: a vision inspired by Jane Jacobs’ critique of how cities are designed, combined with the urban planning principles of Paris and Disneyland, where central hubs guide you and prevent you from feeling lost. At Niuvi, we believe that as long as we continue to reimagine how cities are built, the possibilities are endless.
Located on the side of the Santa Lucía River, Tacuba stands as a residential complex that plays with building heights. You will notice that the structures closest to the walkable areas are deliberately kept shorter. This design choice aims to create a welcoming atmosphere
Tacuba has a dual aim: to boost the local population and to encourage fewer cars
In total, there are 124 apartments spread across eight buildings within the complex, offering a diverse and vibrant community space
Why do monuments hold such significance?
Often, we find ourselves admiring them without truly understanding their purpose, appreciating only their visual appeal rather than the profound narratives they embody.
Ignorance of history risks its repetition.
November 6, 1910, marked the publication of Francisco I. Madero’s ‘Plan of San Luis,’ igniting the Mexican Revolution on November 20 of the same year. This conflict ultimately toppled the Porfirio Diaz regime, unleashing economic upheaval and a tumultuous succession of nine presidents in just six years. What if Francisco I. Madero had never existed?
Our project commemorates an architectural homage to an alternative history
The Imagine Pavilion is more than just a physical structure—it is a dynamic, inclusive space designed with both functionality and flexibility in mind. The pavilion will be situated at the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM), serving as a central information hub. It features a touchscreen interface for emergency calls, a detailed campus map, and advisory services to support students, staff, and visitors.
Aligned with UDEM’s commitment to digital innovation, the pavilion integrates with the Udity social app, which functions as both a meeting point and a platform for organizing activities. The modular design allows for endless configurations, adapting seamlessly to a wide range of uses and events.
The pavilion’s design is inspired by the university’s topography and the flow of people across the campus. It incorporates a bike park to promote sustainable mobility. The Imagine Pavilion is a flexible, transformative space — ready to be whatever the community needs it to be.
