INTRODUCTION

The project has as objective to open the mind toward new expectations of urban design, trying to generate a new
vision and conceptualization of the city, which can take to the creation of a new city with a different functionality with new layouts and urban designs, for this investigation topics were used with objects and experiments that are to the en-vironment of the life, making it an experimental project with a without end of new design possibilities. All the new proposals were managed in a parametric way and they will be been able to use in the city to try to gener-ate to a drastic change of functionality and trying to give a solution to the problems of the big cities.
PROJECT DEFINITION
Create a conceptual and experimental model of urban design with which you can generate a proposal of In-
ner city less dispersed and disjointed.
With the objective of looking for a solution to some of
the most serious problems in the city like it is it the insufficient vehicular infrastructure, the shortage of green areas and the lack of housing developments, by means of the improvement of the infrastructure, equipment and half urban, as well as the recovery of natural spaces and the development
for the creation of a pedestrian net to promote the not motorized traffic and to reduce the use of the automobile by means of the construction of housing equip-ment and work areas inside a radius not bigger to 15 minutes on foot, providing a bigger quality of life and always considering the citizen as the main factor in the project.

SITE ANALYSIS
The site is located in Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. Its situaded in the center of the city, crossed horizontally by the Santa Catarina River in the middle. Two main avenues of the city folow the river, them being Consitutcipon and Morones Prieto.

We did research, and we found interesting the way that when a glass breaks from an impact it can create different patterns,
and how each one of these patterns has cracks which connect with all the others cracks in the pattern, we also noticed that there were forms that were created in between the cracks, so we though the cracks and the forms created could work for a city plan, the cracks being possible vehicular connection systems, and all the given forms being everything that can be in a city: living spaces, business centers, commerce, education areas, etc.
Why did we choose this topic?

Of all the experiments we did with glass, we found this particular one when we used
hammer on a 6mm flat glass surface the most interesting one, since in most of the experi-ments we got radial forms, in this one we got a pattern that had different shapes and cracks that connected themselves all the way through, and being these two thing the reason of why we chose these topic we thought this type of im-pact was the one that could work the most.
Why did we select this type of impact?

We wanted to create two ur-ban centers, one in each
side of the river, so we wanted everything to go from high densi-ty in the center, to low density in the ends. And we wanted the two sieds of the river to be communi-cated, so making those impacts there generated these patterns that interconnect each other in the center.
Why did we choose those impact spots?

RY After we analyzed the patters we realized that all the
types of forms that were generated could be classi-fied in geometrical forms, since all of them were simple figures with a certain number of sides.
We classified them inThree sided shapesFour sided shapesFive sided shapesSix sided shapesSeven sided shapesImpact area shape

These type of shapes were given in the whole pattern. And it was a union spot between other figures, and mainly connected with the four sided ones, that being important because those are the living spaces. So we think commerce areas should be in spots that are connected with all the dif-ferent areas of the city.

Four sided polygons Living spaces
When we made a sum of all the areas in all the dif-ferent shapes individually, we obtained that the four sided shapes were the ones that had the most area. This being important parameter for all the living area that is going to be in the city, we chose these shapes as the most ideal for the living area.

These shapes were con-nected with each other, and at the same time with all the different types of shapes. They were also scattered all over the pat-tern created by the im-pacts, so the whole city has green areas.

Six sided polygons Business Areas
These six sided figures were located in the center of each side, and also in the center when the two patterns merge, so this . Also the six sided shape gave us a big area figure, which works for what big business center areas re-quire.

Education
We chose the only seven sided shape that we ob-tained in the pattern to be the one that contains the education area. The pat-tern gave us this unique shape that is centered, and because of the 7 sides is a big one, so it has a big area that can work for an education space and works because of the cen-trality of itself in relation with all the other areas.

These shapes were creat-ed in the spot were the im-pact was generated, creat-ing shapes with more than 7 sides, that is going to be used as a plaza, since it is in the center of everything.

CONCLUSIONSThrough the experimentation and the analysis of the ramification of the frac-
tures in the glass a fracture pattern was obtained which was used to gener-ate an urban model, this pattern generated a new city model in which the aim was to solve some of the biggest problems that the city of Monterrey has, like the lack of green areas, the necessity of vertical housing in the area center of the city and the problems of the vehicular infrastructure.
The new proposal of inner city is an answer to these problems, new housing spaces were generated inside the city, as well as big corridors of green areas that interconnect the city, public transportation routes that run along the whole area, with which circulation becomes more efficient, also the proposal of creat-ing big walking corridors inside the city to try to diminish the use of the auto-mobile inside the area.
Thanks to this new one model a more efficient city is generated, where the use of the automobile decreases, so that people can walk and in turn the use of the public transportation is promoted, and also bigger green areas are created, all this with the purpose of giving people a better quality of life and a new ecologi-cal attitude.
