project description
This project consists of designing a pedestrian bridge to connect the second floor of Building 9 with the second floor of Building 17 and serve the significant pedestrian traffic between these two buildings. The design must provide exterior pedestrian access between the bridge and the ground surface beneath it and have sufficient span and clearance to facilitate fire truck access below the bridge. It is also desirable that the bridge provides some sitting area for students to congregate between classes, a place for them to study and socialize, both on and below the new structure. The design must conform to all applicable codes, and it is preferable that the bridge does not rely on either building for lateral or vertical support.

Modular Entertainment/Work Station Tijuana, often seen as a tourist destination by Americans, is home to roughly over 1.4 million residents who arrive from poorer parts of the country in search of employment opportunity and hopes of entering the United States. Many people migrating to Tijuana for employment work in maquiladoras or assembly plants are sometimes forced to live in shacks adjacent or in close proximity to the these plants because of lack of transportation. Tijuana is considered one of the fastest growing communities in Mexico with an average of 80,000 people moving annually (population growth of 6% annually) and roughly growing about 20,000 square meters daily. Over the next 20 years, Mexican towns near the American border are anticipated to gain an additional 13.5 million people. This saturation of new arrivals overwhelms the infrastructure of basic services and complicates the task of city planning. In their eagerness for a place to stay, they become squatters, who invade the unoccupied hillsides, canyons, and riverbeds of no value to real estate speculators. Since 1984 Tijuana has been building on lands that were set aside for ecological conservation. It is estimated that half of the new arrivals to the city live in squatter communities, which are often overcrowded and have inadequate infrastructure that are limited or have no access to clean water. In addition, they are often located on land that is geologically hazardous, having a high risk of flooding and/or is located in close proximity to industrial zones and pollutants. Families live in dwellings made of wood pallets with walls of black tarpaper and cardboard. Generally, thousands of squatters live in shacks made of discarded materials and whatever they can find, such as tires, garage doors, signs, pallet racks, etc. Tijuana redefines recycling. For instance, vehicles are recycled from their old California owners and reused in Tijuana. Tijuana survives thanks to the waste and second hand material of the United States. As Tijuana expands into the hilly terrain to the east, squatters have come up with elaborate systems to accommodate for their placement of homes, such as utilizing tires packed with earth to create retaining walls. However, these dwellings frequently lack doors and windows. Since the most valuable property is located near the downtowns of the cities, squatters usually establish themselves on the outskirts of the cities. In a sense, they become owners over a plot of land until the city or a developer evicts them. However, Mexican laws says that an individual may take legal possession of a property after 5 years of peaceful occupation, therefore, many establish themselves with the hope that the legal owner will not discover them and expel them before time. When enough people arrive, they petition the city to bring in services, such as a line of electricity. Sometimes to survive, they have to illegally tap into the aqueduct that runs under their lands to supply water to their homes. In conclusion, Tijuana’s shantytowns should not be ignored or overlooked because of it’s harsh conditions of these settlements, but viewed as an opportunity to create a workable environment that uses recycled materials as a base for home construction.
Tijuana Settlements project description Part I: Schematic Ideas from observational study Using the research and documentation of the sites and families you are working with, each of you will develop 3 schematic design ideas for the most pressing problems of the “house� that you are working with. These design ideas are meant to have you be prepared to efficiently interact with the community when the issues come up during your interview. Although we would like to hear from the community what their main issues are, you can direct the discussion with the community when the issues come up. Part II: Dialogue Preparation: Conversing with the Corazon families Students will visit and dialogue with families to develop and understanding of house performance and user satisfaction. Dialogues with the community will lead to the development of a design strategy. To prepare for this dialogue, you will develop a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions per team. Bring questions to class for discussion. Part III: Design Development After completing your dialogues with the community, you will continue developing design ideas individually. Depending on what the ideas are, the issue being addressed, the scale of the project, the complexity, cost, etc. We will decide with the input of the community and of Corazon which interventions will be built. Ultimately, the building phase will be a team project.
tors. The main gathering space is outside, to the side of the Corazon house and in front of the mother in law’s house. 5. Cuantas horas del dia esta adentro de la casa? Cuanto tiempo toma afuera en el patio de la casa? How many hours do you spend inside in a day? How many outside?
• The family is usually inside their home until 4:00 pm. After 4:00pm, they spend their time outside until 6:00pm, where then they return inside to prepare dinner. 6. Donde estan mas agusto durante el dia y durante la noche?
Where are you most comfortable being during the day and during the night? • Depending on the weather conditions they decide where they rather spend their time indoors or outdoors. When the weather is hot they spend more time outside, and when it’s cold they stay inside. 7. En algun tiempo han tenido problemas con seguridad? Tienen miedo que alguien entre a su casa? Have you ever had a problem with security? Are you afraid that someone might break in?
NOTES 1.Hay alguien en su familia que habla ingles? Does anyone in your family speak English?
•No, unfortunately no one in this family speaks English. However, some of them are learning English right now. 2.Que es lo que le mas gusta de su casa? Que es lo que menos le gusta de su casa? What do you like best about your house? What don’t you like about it?
•There were no major complaints about the house from the family. While there is always room for improvement, they were not open to making any suggestions about the house specifically. The family did note, however, that the smaller storage loft above the kitchen was of particular use to them. Normally, they use the larger loft as storage also, because the whole family fits on the bottom floor, but when they have guests that stay for extended periods of time, they can organize all their storage into the smaller area to accommodate their visitors above. 3.Que tan siguido usted habla con sus familiares y amistades? How often do you spend time talking with friends and family members?
•Typically, most of the socialization happens on Sundays, because the husband works, and so does the mother in law. Mrs. Nunez has one son who is fourteen and lives with her in the Corazon home, and he goes to school. Since most of her time is occupied by household chores and helping with Corazon, Sundays are really the only day of the week that everyone can sit down and talk and relax. However, when family and friends have free time off of work, they come and visit me. 4. Que tan frequente tienen visitas? Se quedan con usted por la noche? Donde se quedan? En donde se entretienen? Tienen muchos amigos y familiares? Donde comen con ellos? How often do you have guests over? Do they often spend the night? Where do they stay? Where do you entertain? Do you ever have large gatherings? Where do people eat?
•The family typically has visitors over every eight to sixteen day period. Recently, her daughter has moved in with her for a month because the rent is too high for her and her children, and is currently sleeping in the loft area. Meanwhile, her other mother-in-law is occupying the guesthouse. The daughter has four kids, so there are frequently children around the house with no real place to play. There is a guesthouse behind the Corazon house that is used on occasion, but in this situation, the family has cleared the loft area for their visi-
• This family has never had a problem with security before, nor are they afraid that anyone will ever try to break in. She commented that when they leave things outside in the front yard, they find it in the exact same spot on the next day. Mrs. Nunez told us that the neighbors are friendly and tend to look out for one another. 8. Que proposito tiene la pared de frente de su casa? Quien la construyo? Le gusta? Usan el espacio entre la cerca y la casa segido? What is the purpose of the wall in front of your house? Who built it? Do you like it? Do you use the space between the fence and house often?
• My husband helped build the wall. The wall functions for privacy. We are thinking about extending the house forward. Her husband started building a CMU block wall in front of the house, but they ran out of money to finish, so they have an interim wood paneled fence. They still have rebar set up so that they can continue the CMU wall when more money comes in. Aside from retaining dirt, it serves them for privacy from the street. They plan on using the space in between the wall and the Corazon home for future expansion. They would like to construct a bathroom or increasing the size of the kitchen at a later time. 9. Como se siente acerca de las plantas? Como las riegan? Toman mucho tiempo cuidando las plantas? How do you feel about plants? How do you water them? Do you spend a lot of time taking care of them?
• Mrs. Nunez and her mother-in-law love the plants that they have outside of their home, and they’d like to have space to put them more and to be able to arrange them to look better. They use sink water that they collect to water them as long as it is reasonably clean. They don’t spend an excessive amount of time watering them, but they appear to be well taken care of. 10. Que tan seguido cocinan afuera de la casa? Le gusta cocinar afuera o lo hace por necesidad? How often do you cook outdoors? Do you enjoy it or is it just out of necessity?
• Typically they only cook outdoors when they run out of gas. Mrs. Nunez doesn’t typically enjoy it because it is usually windy and she fears the house may catch fire. She said that if there were better conditions, she could see herself enjoying it more.
11. Como son sus vecinos? Le caen bien? How are your neighbors? Do you like them?
• The family has a good relationship with the neighbors, no major problems. Nothing gets stolen because they take care of one another. 12. Como usan el espacio en medio de las dos casas? What do you use the space in between the Corazon house and Guesthouse for?
• We use the space between the Corazon home and guesthouse is used for laundry and cooking outside when they run out of gas. The family would like to put the washer in a different place, but they don’t know where. 13. Cuantos anos tiene su hijo? Que hace para divertirse? Donde juega su hijo? How old is your son? What does he do for fun? Where does your child play?
• Her son is 14 years old. He is taking medication for epilepsy, so he usually doesn’t go out and play often. He usually sits in his room and does homework, but sometimes he goes outside to play with his ball. When he does go outside, he usually plays in the street or in front of the house for an hour or so. 14. En algun tiempo ha tenido problemas con rececionamiento de agua? Have you experienced any problems with water?
• They haven’t really experienced a rainy season in the house yet, but they are digging trenches to keep water away from the house in anticipation of how the water will flow. Drainage is fairly simple, the property slopes down towards the street so
the water runs down the middle of the driveway and down the south side of the house. 15. Como un dia tipico para ustedes? How do you spend a typical day?
• The following list are Mrs. Nunez every day activities (starting form the morning to the later evening): o Wake up o Fix rooms (clean) o Prepare food o Water plants o Works for Corazon when they have meetings/activities (ex. looking after kids) 16. Que tan importante es mantener el espacio de estasionamiento? How important is it to maintain the driveway space?
• The space for parking is not that important. Guest have the option of parking on the side of the road. The space is more important for social gatherings. 17. Que es lo que hace con la agua usada de los trastes y del bano? What do you do with the used water for dishes/bathing?
• The water from the indoor sink is collected in a bucket and when it is relatively clean, it is recycled for watering the plants. When it has too much bleach and cleaning products in it, they just dump it on the dirt. There is an outdoor sink that the water overflows directly onto plants below. 18. Usted trabaja? Que tipo de trabajo hace para mantener a su familia?
Do you work? What do you do for a living? • Mr. Nunez is a security guard, and Mrs. Nunez spends her day doing laundry, cooking and cleaning, and doing work with Corazon. The mother in law also works. 19. De que manera ilumina afuera y adentro de su casa? What type of lighting do you use inside and outside?
• The family gets their power from cables that run from a power pole. An extension cord is used for lighting the outside. The light is hung by my mother–in-laws house or on a nail that is on the Corazon house. They do this when it they have large gatherings. 20. Porque no cosina afuea? Why don’t you cook outside (in between the two houses)?
• Mrs. Nunez is afraid that the house might catch on fire when it gets windy. 21. Porque todabia hay material en frente de la casa? Why is the construction material in the front of the house? • The material in the front is leftover of the slab. Mrs. Nunez mentioned to Corazon to pick up the remaining material, but they haven’t done so. Her mother-in-law would like to use the space that the material is occupying for additional planting.

The bridge should also be a learning tool, and thus would be instrumented.

TAM TA M International International TAMPICO, TAMAULIPAS MX
PROJECT STATEMENT
An airport is the gateway to a new realm of adventures and unprecedented expectations. As both global population and foreign affairs increase each year, the demand for air travel as a means of transportation rises exponentially. As a result, large “artery” airports that act as the connectors for transfers and international flights, such as Mexico City’s Juarez International Airport, are becoming overwhelmed with larger passenger traffic. These airports are constructing additional terminal buildings and are increasingly exploring the decentralization of flights as a solution to offset/reroute passenger flows. Consequently, modifications of regional scaled airports are being considered to handle this ongoing issue. Therefore, the focus of my thesis has geared me to revitalize/transform the Gen F Javier Mina Regional Airport, located in Tampico, Tamaulipas MX, into an international airport (while keeping the domestic component). T.A.M. International could help alleviate air traffic and to revamp/ accommodate for higher tourism. With that being said, I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to create a new experience for it’s visitors, primarily for the traveling passengers, by celebrating the circulation through clarity and enhancing this experience with local art.
DATA: CRISIS As global population increase, large “artery” airports that act as the connectors for transfers and international flights, such as Mexico City’s Juarez International Airport, are becoming overwhelmed with larger passenger traffic. As a result, these airports are constructing additional airport terminal buildings and are also exploring decentralization of flights as a solution to offset/reroute passenger flows. Consequently, modifications of regional scaled airports are being considered to handle this ongoing issue. Therefore, for my thesis, I have decided to transform the Gen F Javier Mina Airport, located in Tampico, Tamaulipas MX, into an international airport that could help alleviate air traffic. Tampico is an “up and coming” site that can achieve a promising future for aviation and Mexican government due to its placement in North America and its touristic attractions.
