The selected plants had various characteristics, such as being non-toxic for potential interaction between children and nature, as well as other sensory qualities like aroma, color, and flavor.

The logo for the new museum was also designed, based on the abstraction of the Rainbow Eucalyptus tree.

For the green areas, the aim was to design more organic shapes that would allow mixes between vegetation and color, creating an orientational sense together with the pathways.

Taking into account the desert climate of Sinaloa, shaded outdoor areas were created to allow users to cool off through pergolas with diffusers or dense tree canopy during the hottest seasons.

In the interior areas, greater impact was achieved through color contrasts, creating completely white spaces with a “pop of color.”

Miriam Aranda

A direct connection with nature from the inside was sought through large windows overlooking the interior garden.

CULTURAL PAVILION - POCKET PARK

Is Key

/2025

The project is based on the design proposal of a Pocket Park with a Cultural Pavilion for the exhibition of ephemeral structures by a particular designer.

Location: between two residences in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

Inspired by the geometric shapes formed by the deconstruction of a representative Mexican element: “El Papalote” (kite).

Geometric layouts were made for the floor designs and area distribution.

For the vegetation proposal, colorful trees such as Jacaranda, Primavera, Bauhinia, among others, were selected, as well as shrubs such as Oleander for its density and ease of topiary, herbaceous plants such as Agapanthus and Ajillo, and groundcovers such as San Agustin grass for its high resistance to foot traffic and other environmental factors.
