As we all know, 2020 was the year of the pandemic, COVID 19 hit the world by surprise, causing loss of life and a crisis in all aspects of our lives. Despite this complicated year, a project was created to help families living in extreme poverty of La Alianza. Giving them an ability to build with sustainable materi

La Alianza has 2.3% of extreme poverty in the entire metropolitan area. There is a huge housing shortage, and loan opportunities are out of reach.

SOCIAL INEQUIALITY BY CITY

METROPOLITAN AREA (MUNICIPALITIES)

Despite the high quality of life that some citizens have, the metropolis has the highest rates of economic inequality in LATIN AMERICA (CONVEAL 2021).

All Mexicans who have mortgage credit can request a loan to pay for their government housing, but because the interest rates are high, the average final payment time is 35 to 40 years. Thus generating a cost of almost double if paid in cash. Compared to newly built homes, which feature larger sizes, sustainable materials like adobe, and thermal comfort for extreme climates, these new homes are worth almost a tenth of the cost of a traditional government-financed home.

The metropolitan area of Monterrey is made up of 6 cities, with the first 3 being one of the cities with the best quality of life in Mexico.

In order to keep the cost of housing low, it was decided to use only materials that the Pesqueria River provides, such as reeds and the raw material for adobe, in addition to recycling tires to make tiles, pallets per wall.

And it is the same people who live there will be the same ones who build the house, learning vernacular architecture techniques from the Monterrey area to have a decent home.

It is in the floor plans where it can be understood that the walls are modulated by the pallets and the wooden columns.

Project type: Residential Location: Tonalá, Mexico

COLLECTIVE HOUSING

The projects was developed in a housing complex located in the city of Tonalá, with the idea of provide housing blocks that are interrelated with other bocks with green areas, recreational areas and a sense of community with the terrace in every facade of the block. The density of this interurban hosing is the concept of the future social housing in Mexico and

NEIGHBORHOOD SITE

TONALÁ CITY

Collaborators: Ivette Caveli

The site is divided into two sections, a public road runs through the entire lot.

Due to the regulation, parking spaces must be included for homes.

The relationship between blocks is based on the parks in the center, generating green areas for all residents. Each one being different for the interaction.

FUTURE LOGISTICS

Los Laredos is a single city that over time was divided by the border between the United States and Mexico.

The 80% of comercial trade between Mexico and US circulates trough this border point.

There is 2 veicular and 1 railway bridges, the arrival of the railway to the cities represent a rapid growth creating gaps and segregation in the mobility of each city.

Laredo became the first official port of entry on the border in 1851 and today is the #1 inland port with 231 billion in trade in 2019 with a 135% increase over the previous decade.

EARTHBAG DOMES

Earthbag domes are a method of construction with natural materials, the methodology of domes that were built in Amatlan are with the theory of Nader Khalili, following the guide of Cal-Earth, with the construction regulations approved by the state of California in the United States, the strictest in the world due to the San Andreas fault. With this method low-cost houses are built, with great structural capacity against earthquakes and an incredible thermal capacity against any climate.

Like an arch, a dome is only as strong as its buttressing. A dome, however, is self-supporting and does not need any structural formwork other than the arched window and door openings. Geometric accuracy is essential in earthbag domes
