Republish, beginning with the prefix “re” means repetition and intensification. Once you add the architectural definition of publishing, the result is an existing architectural proposal subject to a process that can be used again and again and reintegrate into the urban area.

The project is located in Villahermosa, Tabasco’s main city, in the cultural neighborhood known as CICOM. This grand block’s public space has been marginalized by limited use within its immediate context.

The analytical process is at the core of the project, which was comprised of four phases: diagnostic, spatial quality filtering, activity locator and spatial quality overlap; and final assessment or master plan.

The first phase is a diagnosis, which in the architectural sense is to qualify a site by pure observation and mere architectural sense, a quick first look to see the “symptoms” of a specific place.

In the second phase, spatial quality filtering, a primary process of subdividing the site into small portions (20x20 meters), from a macro to a smaller scale. Such filters are a selection of criteria based on the current situation of the site.The result of the second phase gives us “spatial quality.”

As a third phase, mapping of location of activities and their overlap with spatial qualities. This analysis was mixed and the result is a mosaic where different activities and spatial qualities can be found in each module.

Finally, the last process is the final evaluation. This reevaluation is made by adding flavor rainbow (name given to the spatial quality results) plus scheduled activities, resulting in the architectural program. Is this the site’s preference? Totally ... architecture takes place here, it is a dialogue between the place, the city and space through the translation of this city fragment’s needs; this is what the site wants, not what the architect desires.

Second phase: Establishing a talking code

LECTURE CODE

The modules lecture, it’s individual, it means that each piece has different information. The mecanism to understand any situation is the next one:

1. Each piece of site has a black border until the top half, from upside to down, and the down side has a white border. The black border means the different spatial qualities, and t he white border means the activities.

2. After have identified the borders, it is necessary find by colors which spatial qualities or activities has the module. And by this way, the information of every piece of site, will be get.

Second phase: Quality spaces filtering

SECOND PHASE RESULTS: FINAL EVALUATION-RAINBOW FLAVOR

In the second phase, spatial quality filtering, the process of subdividing the site into small portions (20x20 meters), from a macro to a smaller scale. Such filters are a selection of criteria based on the current situation of the site.

The result of the second phase gives us “spatial quality.”

14º Arpafil International Competition

González Gallo Park Redensification

XXL

*FIRST PLACE.

* Team: Ulises Zúñiga, Gabriel de la Torre & Ma. Graciela López

* Contribution: Conceived the main idea of the project with Ulises, produced all urban plans, illustrated all floor plans & contributed withe de design of the type floor for housing.

The González Gallo Park area is characterized by its industrial use. The site proposed for development, currently occupied with industrial facilities, represents a great opportunity for a new set up of urban interventions and housing density adjacent to green spaces. We propose the creation of a great public esplanade that will favor the exchange between city and park, will concentrate complementary activities and will be a starting point for the future housing development in the area. In order to free up green area the strategy is to concentrate all the residences into two towers, each 40 floors and 120 meters high. The new esplanade is established above five parking levels that also contain mixed-use spaces. This strategy will create a central park which will support a future increase in housing density.

Residential Tower. Containing 1000 housing units distributed between 4 types, it has been designed as an exposed structure formed by three self-contained buildings. The intention is to conserve resources by avoiding the need to add elements to the facades. Common spaces were distributed along the tower to light the interior courtyard and offer magnificent views. All of the dwelling services are located within a continuous piece of furniture, while three meter wide balconies protect façades from solar gain. Vertical circulation and emergency stairs are divided into three hubs, attaining a total of 15 elevators per level.

Esplanade. A large esplanade allows for complementary activities to develop with Gonzalez Gallo Park. It frames both towers and becomes an invigorating space for public interaction. The current entrance and its sculptures are preserved as an artistic circulation path along the esplanade. Beneath, mixed-use, commercial and parking spaces are grouped together, linked directly by great urban courtyards which distribute natural light and ventilation. These ground plane cuts are defined as open spaces in which different activities can take place.

This strategy will permit a future central park development that will bolster housing density in the area.

RESIDENTIAL TOWER

Containing 1000 housing units distributed between 4 types, it has been designed as an exposed structure formed by three self-contained buildings. The intention is to conserve resources by avoiding the need to add elements to the facades.

OVERPASS

Located on a secondary road connecting directly with the university, the overpass accesses the parking level. This allows the plaza to connect directly with the tower lobby

SCULPTURES

The existing park access is maintained and the sculptures define an artistic circulation path through the plaza.

PLAZA

A large esplanade allows for complementary activities to develop with Gonzalez Gallo Park. It frames both towers and becomes an invigorating space for public interaction.

MIXED-USE Bringing together all the mixed-use spaces, you access from the parking garage at each of its six levels and connect with the plaza through urban courtyards.

URBAN COURTYARD

Large courtyards bring light and natural ventilation to the commercial areas and parking levels. These areas are defined as open space in which multiple activities can take place in and will be floodable; capturing water that can serve to supply the entire complex.

PUBLIC PARKING

The parking garage will serve both park visitors as well as the mixed-use users.

RESIDENT PARKING

Private and exclusively for the tower users, includes service areas and direct access to circulation cores.

SERVICE AREA

This is ample area to develop a recycling center or water treatment facility.

GREEN AREAS Common areas distributed throughout the section of the tower to bring light to the inner courtyard and offer magnificent views of the city.

Housing has been solved concentrating services into a single furniture that it includes the engineerings. Social areas had been located with view to the city on balconies of 3m that protect the facades of the solar radiation.

The common use areas are distribuited all over the tower, on strategic zones con view to the park, the sunset and the city. Las vertical connections and emergency stairs are divided in three cores with 15 elevators per level.

20 housings per story in low density, with a public terrace, distributed in 3 typologies:

ARQUINE’S 12º

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION:

ARK FLOOD OBSERVATORY

*HONORABLE MENTION.

* Team: Ulises Zúñiga, Gabriel de la Torre, Ma. Graciela López, Edgar Cázares & Fhilipp Navarro.

* Contribution: Conceived the main idea of the project with the team, produced all schematic and infographics information.

thirteen ( oors) (from lat. tredĕcim).

This proposal arises after reflecting on an antiquated and natural way of being, a life intimately related to cycles of nature where man adapts to facilitate his existence and lessen his impact on nature. Thought of as a timeless wonder, the flood observatory must be a vessel for nature, harnessing the memory of storms where time reveals itself merciless. Floods are natural and periodic processes that become catastrophes when cities are inappropriately located or unusual meteorological events occur. The project expects to create environmental consciousness, not by the rejection of the event, but by converting those events into a cyclical rite for endurance and acceptance. The flood observatory is considered an instrument for measurement and education, an experience enhanced by its site: a clearing of trees close to a gully on the Usumacinta River. Two buildings make up the complex: first, a triangular tower 48 m tall contains the program and acts like a hydrometric scale. Over time, marks along the tower walls will register the historical maximum levels of water above the ground. The second building is an inverted cone shaped rain gauge with 40m of diameter at its rim. This reservoir will quantify monthly precipitation and store enough water to supply the tower and the entire population of Tenosique in the case of a natural disaster. Thousand moons and suns are mirrored into the immense artificial pool, an observatory of the universe and floods, water marks register on concrete walls, while great chiaroscuros wash over surfaces in this feast of shades. Fine raindrops rise like fog in the humidity of this pit, while old trees put up resistance, so many battles they have won. Hundreds of people witness the show of this catastrophe, above in the tower, an impressive structure to survey one’s self-existence. Suddenly silence, the night, dragonflies coming in and out recklessly, sparkling blazes into the clarity of mind.

Each tower’s oor represents one of the 13 moons or lunar cycles that occur each year. 13 times a year the full moon locates over the pluviometer, lighting the bottom’s pyramid, proyecting moons energy to every water molecule.

door (from lat. porta).

12 doors representing the months of the year and the hours of the day.

12 puertas que representan los meses del añoy la división de las horas del día. "having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel."

Revelation. 21-12

seven (steps) (from lat. sĕptem).

Seven is the sum of 3 (the celestial) and 4 (the earthly).

e seven steps represent the ascension and the bond of the human with the divine. It uni es culture universally: seven days in a week, seven deadly sins, seven virtues, seven chakras, seven seas, seven musical notes, etc...

Time is not strange to us, nor is somethig just passing by our eyes We are time, and it ain’t years but ourselves the ones passing by.

connectivity

(From lat. connectere, to bind).

Once the waters descend, the location of the shelter with the river makes it a direct communication channel with the city..

programatic uses

hydrometric scale scale. (From lat. scala). hydrometer (From lat. hidro- y -metro).

e slender tower of proportion and monumental scale, given the context of the plains, the refuge becomes a symbol of shelter that remains upright in the midst of the devastating ood. On its walls the watermarks will show the maximum historical ood.

pluviometer (From lat. pluvĭa, rain, y -metro, meter).

e object-building allows visually analyze and measure the amount of rain through graduation base steps or levels which cumulatively account for the millimeters of water. e graduation marks 100, 200, 350, 600, 950, 1400 and 2000 mm

e observatory works in two ways at programmatic level, the rst is out of the rainy season. e building works as a laboratory and museum of the oods, in order to cultivate awareness among the public about ooding. To do so, there are classrooms, laboratories and a viewer where you can see the pluviometer.

e second program that contains the tower, is in case of ooding. Here, almost the whole tower is converted into a shelter, only two levels located at intermediate points, are the ones to provide bathroom and kitchen services for the refuge, the laboratory is closed, and everyone can have a roof for shelter.

platfom/wharf platform(Del fr. plate-forme). dock (Del cat. moll).

e access platform can be transformed into a oating wharf, allowing population access even in the face of any water level and when to move is only possible by boat.

* Contribution: Conceived the main ideas with the rest of the team at all the design process, produced all graphic information for the competition, developed concept and architectural design, contribuited to façade design, all interior design & drew construction documents.

It was decided to create a series of worlds and environments that occur throughout the school, a great variety of spaces for participation and privacy, where individuals can develop both personally and collectively. Reflecting pools, wooded courtyards, and lush gardens screen intellectual activity. Innovation becomes a way of inspiration for the men and women to be formed. The T-shaped lot and rugged topography were decisive factors in our intervention. The parking lot takes advantage of the topography to reduce excavation and to optimize the use of space. The structure is simple and modular, additionally the use of raw materials illustrates the proper optimization of resources. A scheme with two intersecting and rotated volumes was determined to be the best possible solution. The complementary areas are developed throughout the site, performing filtering functions which allow a gradual transition between public and private areas. The classrooms are rotated for optimum environmental conditions. Since the Institute is lacking a representative element, the chapel above the entrance square becomes the new icon that will resonate in the collective memory. It will generate high quality public space in an area with an important vehicular prominence, providing a new vision to city development as well as generating a large space for interaction and coexistence. The auditorium, planned to be built in a second phase, represents the students’ efforts and accomplishments, a sports icon, a new message, an offer, and a development opportunity for Tampico’s youth. Its bioclimatic design and the use of sustainable technologies reduce its environmental impact. Water recollection, energy-saving cross-ventilation systems, and natural lighting in all the area, make the Cultural Institute of Tampico become a Natural School...

... a Jesuit School, an Integral School.

Located in one of the most important historic districts in Mexico City, and a narrow site (7.00 x 25.00 meters) with a side entry to another site at the end, this house responds to the specific characteristics and legal constrains of its context.

After different volumetric studies, the house transformed itself from a single line body into a spline body, as a result of the study of solar impact. This spline creates the enclosed part of the house, as a counterpart of the opened space spline, as the negative one.

The proposal responds to a specific program for a 4 member family, which is then divided into two sets of wings, a public and a private one, these are connected by the intersection of the splines of the house, which act as vertical and horizontal connections throughout the entire house.

The public wing contains the main access, service area and parking in the basement level, the main living, dinning room and studio are held in a double height proportion. The private area contains the backyard garden, kitchen, two bedrooms, the master bedroom and a roof garden.

* Contribution: Project management, Design leader (Developed concept & architectural design); drew construction documents and supervised sitework.

The film studios project for TV Azteca consisted of bringing together all of the TV company’s resources into one single place. Filming that previously took place in leased locations can now be done here—reducing costs previously generated by logistics, transportation and down time. In order to achieve this, we increased the density of an area that had no defined program; it was however conveniently located at the back of the existing studio lot and had the necessary features for recreating a public square—where services could be provided for workers and actors. Thus, a unique arrangement of studios, on two different levels, came about and resulted in an interesting interplay of structure and acoustics.

The project aims to connect public and private spaces in such a way that they can be experienced in out-of-the-ordinary ways. In other words, enabling one single space to generate new experiences, sensations and atmospheres. In this case, the formal project was the result of extruding a relationship flowchart with internal and external programs: seven studios, backstage dressing rooms and makeup area, technical audio, video and programming booths, sitting areas, coffee shop, lounge, VIP area, parking area, lifts, terraces, courtyards, gardens and heliport, plus rooftops that may be used for filming, special events or simply as sitting areas.

The black terracotta material chosen for the studios’ exterior ties the volumes together. Lattices filter in natural light and ventilation, creating some degree of communication with the exterior.

Miami has developed a vernacular condominium architecture, very particular that combines balconies with large floor-to-ceiling windows in order to enjoy better views towards the sea.

The two towers that make up the project respond to the immediate context, and that is why the proposal has an exuberant vegetation at the access level to also provide views at this level.

Esrawe Studio was invited to the development of the public areas of both towers. These spaces are: Spa, Pet Spa, Library, Children and teenagers area, Terraces of both towers. Each of the spaces, was developed from the concept to the smallest detail so that the final result dialogue with the architecture.

It divides the entrance from women and men.

A little oasis place to rest and refreshment in between all of the differents cabins.

This place was conceived all in Carrara marble, without joints like a big stone.

Two almost equal cabins, to attend women and men. Eventhough the spa it’s located at the basement of the building, a little garden gives another sensation.

National Competition Of Conceptual Preliminary Design For

The Integral Rescue Master Plan For “La Merced” Market “Urban archeology” VDS-326

*Honorable Mention by Ministry of Economic Development of the Federal District.

*Design team: Hanni Paz, Luz Sánchez, Felipe López Hechem, Rafael Medrano, Jessica Sánchez y Edtna Santiago.

* Contribution: Led the team, conceived the main ideas with the team, managed all graphic information, developed concept and architectural design for the market and managed all the urban strategies.

Located in the east end of the site that today defines the downtown of Mexico City, the neighborhood “La Merced” is characterized by being a synonym for business since the early colonial period to the present. It had its peak in the mid- nineteenth century when the market we know today was built. Now as part of the program called “Magic Neighborhoods” of Mexico City , in part because the region accounts for nearly half of historic buildings downtown.

Such dynamism has not gone unnoticed in the area, which increasingly is associated with disorder in general, almost in a legal limbo where illicit activities such as prostitution at daylight and invasion of public roads have become everyday behaviors among visitors.

It is unfortunate, then, that a loaded historic area is now in the state of abandonment. La Merced, along with Tepito, are considered one of the brave districts of the city, where there is no law more than his own one.

The then objective of this study is to analyze the circumstances of the neighborhood so as to enable us to identify its strengths and weaknesses in order to develop a project to address the circumstances. To achieve this, we outlined a study strategy that consists of 6 lines of study, from each of which we can drive a transformation in the dynamics of the neighborhood. These axes are mobility, public space, environment, housing, trade and culture.

“Urban acupuncture” Participacion code 1004163

Super blocks

We propose to modify the block scales without changing urban trace . It changes the operation redistributing traffic flows in the city. Circulations interconnect neighborhoods and local mobility are separated. Inside the super blocks, pedestrians and cyclists have priority , motor vehicles have a speed limit of 30 km / hr . This configuration allows the movement to medium distances efficiently without disrupting the dynamics of neighborhood life.

Urban estimulations

It focuses on punctual interventions that minimize deterioration and improve the urban landscape. These interventions are rescue of facades, rescue of existing public spaces, location and re- used of lots without use and urban furniture. These actions are a great alternative to the mega -interventions usually require heavy investments of economic funds.

*Honorable Mention by Escuela Digital.

*Design team: Hanni Paz, Luz Sánchez Román, Didier López Marín y Pablo Lorenzo Balado.

* Contribution: Conceived the main idea of the project with the team, managed the general master plan & produced boards for the competition.

As needles give stimulus to a living being to cause an improvement; urban and architectural projects are boost actions in the cities. Therefore, projects in our city should generate a domino effect to improve urban conditions.

Like the Chinese acupuncture, a puncture is a timely action to boost significant improvements.

The specific actions of our proposal are:

a.Recover damaged facades and modify those with a new offer to get higher spatial quality image.

b. Recover neighborhood life creating “super blocks” that emphasize order on pedestrian routes and vehicular routes.

c. Create a macro artcraft market, fusing the San Juan market and the market “La Ciudadela” to offer products and services supported by the tourism.

d. Transform the current artcraft market in a food market, a gourmet market that consolidates a food court formed by the Pugibet market, the San Juan market and surrounding locals.

e. Extend the square towards the street Pugibet good tone and to consolidate a tour. This action complements the proposed pedestrian streets:

Dolores, Ernesto Pugibet and Buen Tono.

F. Consolidate the cultural tour of Chinatown with an artistic intervention, recovery of facades and unification of language that gives continuity to the urban image.

g. Reassess the housing, through the identification of underutilized spaces and reviving local trade.

Our project allows:

a. Boost trade.

b. Diversify users in the area.

c. Recover public space

d. Improve urban mobility.

e. Provide better quality of life for residents and provide areas of travel and stay.

F. Magnify the urban environment and generate benefits to opportunity areas of Balderas, Salto del Agua, Eje Central and Av. Juarez.

g. Get back groundwater by replacing actual pavements with new materials to improve water catchment.

Markets strategy

The current market structure is reused by changing the façade material and opening the ground floor to create a large open space, which can be accessed through a slope, creating a macro square formed by San Juan park and the surrounding streets , also benefiting commercial locals around this perimeter.
