| first prize + construction | urban regeneration with scarce resources | Queretaro Mexico | Collaboration Andrea Esquivel - Ivan Urbino

As a first attempt to link academic aspirations with real life affairsthe University of Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Querétaro decided

to create a contest that would invest with scarce resources in a residual urban space. My team was fortunate to win the first contest developed

by the university and build the project.

| 1 | Taller Activo

The community demandedan strategic use of this abandonedspace.

Maintenance would be unavailablebecause of lack of resources.

Crime was frequent due to the low public interest in this space.

Current users were pedestrians whoused this space as a shortcut.

| 2 | Adelca Milagro

| master plan design | Steel work company | | Milagro, Ecuador |

Industrial architecture has the highest potentials of involvement as a young architect, that is why my first professional involvement was through the industry.

Then of various interventions I was fortunate to participate with Adelca.

Adelca (Ecuadorian Steel Work Company) was developing a major industrial complex in the coast of Ecuador.

I was trusted with the design of various employee buildings and got involved in the major plan of the complex.

This project was highly ambitious in promoting bicycle circulations for employees

and low use of air-conditioning.

Climate comfort is a key element in Latin American coastal cities which is highly understood in informal architecture.There is a symbiotic relation between buildings and city generated in sidewalks. This works regardless of building function and aesthetic style. This initial observation was key in creating buildings that respond to its climate. .

| 4 | Guanajuato Health CenterFinal Project ITESM | Collaboration Andrea Esquivel Gabriela Macias Ivan Amel Urbino |

Exploring the city of Guanajuato became the first priorityto recognize its major needs and potentials.

Then of exploring its historical vocations, and current necessities it was evident that a health vocation was necessary

especially in suburban Guanajuato.This Health Center aims to satisfy a need

that was found impoverished both in Guanajuato and its surroundings.

Guanajuato has been able to evolve throughout its history reinventing its identity and maintaining a convenient urbanity. However the future is threatened by lack of planning.

Cost calculation in industrial construction may be repetitive, specially when working with foundations. This is why a generative component may be helpful to calculate budgets more efficiently. This is one example of some coding toolsthat applied to building management may resulthandy.

In a distant future synthetic biology could have a great impact in how we obtain and use energy and materials. This project, inspired on Oshamu Nimomura’s florescent proteindiscovery, tries to create a facade that contains life for its florescent properties.

A structure that assembles 3 circular perimeters. Only by changing the angle that joins the three circlesthe structure can change form from planar to sphericalwith all the variations in between this two shapes.This structure can be used in various scenariosfrom furniture building to instant shelter.
