Art could be read as a translation of whats going on inside an art-ist brain. This translation could have different ways to be shownor interpreted.When we take this journey to the artist mind we are under hescomplete disposition, caught between his thoughts and his way ofviewing life.

Although, the creative, decides if he gives us the necessary tools tohandle those thoughts and feelings, or simply let the spectator.Here is when the audience is practically on the artists hands, andhe is the only one that has a plan on how he wants this audience

to react. He decides if his translation is going to be permanent orephemera.

Therefore, being inside his mind, even if we believe we own histhoughts, we are being handle and our attention is where hewants it to be.

PHNDPreab house with sustainable characteristics, Mexico.2009-2010/Project Architect.Tesis project.

The self-construction subject, is a normal issue in Mexico,

many people live in informal settlements. Almost all of them areconstructed and renovated by themselves, by a neighbor or a rela-tive related to that eld.The main idea of this project was to make a house prototype thatcould be prefabricated in the shop, transported in truck tothe site and get it built by 4 people with not specic skills or back-grounds. They just need to be a ble to work with regular handtools.With this instructive, mixed with the self-construction culture,many families can be provided with a decent home, that respondto an orientation, that has industrialized components,and the most important is that e very piece of the house could bereplaced, reused or recycled.

Every component of the house is modulated to the 4 x 8 pan-el, so the waste of materials is minimum. Theres also onlystockmaterials used on the house; therefore if anything needs to bereplaced, it could be easily done.

Natural light studies shown above reveal the main idea of taking the best advantage possibleof the natural resource on two crucial days of the year. The longest day of the year (June

21) and the shortest one (December 21).

In the winter time, we let the sun come inside, this way we heat the house as much aspossible, although in the summer, we try to protect some areas from direct exposureduring the day, such as the kitchen, the studio and the bedroom trying to maintain certain

temperature without loosing the benets of natural light.

Holtel, ofce and comercial space in Monterrey, Mexico.2007/Project Architect.

Located in the most prestigious zone of commercial a nd retailspace in Monterrey. Amix of ofce space, restaurants, aprivate club and spa and a hotel equipped withbusinesscenter, and banquet salon.

The mixed use of the land keeps busy the complex at all time,injecting more activity to the neighborhood and raising theeconomy of the area.

The buildings adapt to the terrain, responding to the sun and

the winds, separating the main views of the hotel which aredirected to the mountains (south), from the ones that come fromthe ofces which are directed to the complex itself on a east westaxis.

DS Housing prototype


15/36

Social housing prototype in Monterrey, Mexico.2007/Project Architect.

On this project the goal was to make changes to a specic prototypeof social housing. A project was given and the task was to modify theshape of the house, (the less possible) so it can be more energy ef-cient.

Nothing in the original structure was modied, just some minorchanges to the heights of the slabs and the apertures of windows. Thisway the house couldventilate naturally, and depending on the orien-tation, we would have shaded rooms in the summer, and byletting thesun inside in the winter, we reduce the use of heaters.

Shopping plaza in Guadalajara, Mexico.2011/Project Architect38Studio eam.

Shopping center located in Guadalajara Mexico, next to a so-cial housing complex, gives the community the infrastructureneeded, raises the economyand provide a good public spacefor the area.

The project was mostly planed with the pedestrian in mind.

Since most of the aimed market is from the surrounding hous-ing areas, we thought that green open space and corridorswould be necessary to the project to work friendly with the com-munity.

minimize the shape at the most leaving thewood to speak by itself.Having a reector on top of it, emphasizing the sobriety of its form.
