Understanding what can inspire us to create, from observing nature, and culture, creating new experiences, coexistence, and introspection.

Haise combines these concepts with the idea of creating multiple realities in the same space to favor the unconscious of the artists and encourage them to immerse themselves in their own reality and be able to be inspired from within.

Cultural Center: La Vía

2020 | SEJUVE Competition Colaboration with Daniela Cruz Software: Lumion, Autcad, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indisgn, QGIS. Google Docs

The objective of the proposal is to create a meeting and exchange space through recreational activities developed in the Cultural Center.

This is sought to be achieved by transforming existing spaces to detonate their potential, promoting performance situations, and stopping activities that put the integrity of the community at risk.

The most sustainable solution that exists is to intervene in the pre-existing, not tear down or rebuild; respecting and empathizing means adding and preserving what the community has built.

Mérida Con-fusa 2023 | Prof. Marcelo Sancez + Flavio Rodriguez Colaboration with Sofía Díaz Software: Lumion, Autcad, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indisgn, QGIS, Google Docs, Power Pint, MidJourney

Our emphasis on Mérida’s public life arises from the understanding that this is a link that allows locals to connect with their environments: functionally, they become part of the locals’ daily lives.

Emotionally, this connection invites people to take care of the spaces in which they carry out their public lives. Through our strategies, we seek to improve the quality of the consolidated and the diffuse, recognizing that both can learn from each other, but without diluting their identity. Our ideal is to avoid the homogenization of the city, since we know that the value of public life in Merida lies mainly in its variety. We accept the fragmentation of the city, but not the segregation, and it is precisely through the strategic projects that we define that we seek to enhance this idea, mainly focusing on the 3 areas that we consider should matter in the public life of the future, both consolidated and diffuse: recreational facilities, streets, and commerce.
