PROJECT
Housing project aimed at integrating urban life with the functioning of the city of Santorini, achieved through the design of public spaces and residences that promote community interaction and socialization.
It offers social areas such as rooftop grills and a central garden; views, balconies, and connection with nature; commercial areas such as a cafeteria and convenience stores; a multipurpose area and a playroom.
The portals in Santorini are a cultural symbol and an essential part of its identity; in our project, they are hybrid spaces serving as transitions between interior and exterior spaces, aiding in infusing a commercial character.

PROJECT
The CEC project was initiated to support BICICLANDO, a waste collection system developed by the Municipal Institute of Planning (IMPLAN) in collaboration with local stakeholders. IMPLAN, overseeing urban planning in Mexican municipalities, partnered with the university to enhance BICICLANDO's impact This initiative employs electric-assist bicycles operated by women recyclers to provide eco-friendly waste collection services, fostering sustainable urban development.
The project site is located in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, strategically positioned to cater to the community of Colonia Modelo, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods. This locale serves as a focal point for the integration of community members actively engaged in recycling initiatives. With a commitment to fostering environmental stewardship and community engagement, the center boasts tailored amenities catering to the needs and aspirations of residents in Colonia Modelo. Through this strategic positioning and bespoke offerings, the project endeavors to galvanize local enthusiasm for recycling while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life within the neighborhood.

Ephemeral housing
Semester: 3
Autors: Miriam Zepda, Mario Ortiz, Marina Aguilar
PROJECT
Situated in Bahia de Kino, along Mexico's western coast in Sonora state, boasts a beautiful beach and rich marine life, attracting a surge in tourism. However, the lack of lodging facilities poses a challenge to sustainable development. Addressing this, Project REEF collaborates with IMPLAN, responsible for urban planning in Mexico, to implement modular housing solutions. These houses, designed for easy assembly and disassembly, offer flexibility, costeffectiveness, and environmental sustainability, meeting the transient accommodation needs of dynamic tourist destinations like Bahia de Kino.
IMPLAN, overseeing urban planning in Mexican municipalities, collaborates with local authorities and experts to enhance living standards. In partnership with the university, IMPLAN develops the project, aiming to meet the lodging demand in Bahia de Kino. Modular housing, deployed with IMPLAN's team during peak seasons, offers advantages such as minimized construction waste and reuse potential, aligning with sustainable urban growth objectives and catering to tourism fluctuations.
