Space and time come to life within the memorial, due to the transcendental cyclical reaction with nature, being an inexhaustible energy, punctually framing certain ephemeral aspects of it. Any intervention will be appropriated by the energy of nature, turning Estuary into the integration of nature, matter and time.
Pijijiapan Chiapas, Mexico
In constant relationship with its surroundings, the memorial draws a compositional axis that joins Pijijiapan, Chiapas to the epicenter of the S19 Earthquake, emphasizing the relationship between the human and the natural. The vestiges left by the catastrophe become the base module that builds the memorial; gabions, masonry construction system, this time with rubble. Estuary becomes a literal memory of the constructions destroyed by the earthquake, as well as the renewal of its energy with the interaction of the cycles of nature, reducing the use of resources.
There is a certain beauty in the apparent lack of control over nature. As humans we tend to forget it, but as architects we look for ways to control these natural aspects, without realizing their immensity and mysticism. Estuary represents the cycles of the intervention that men make in nature and how, contrary to architectural work, it does not limit its energy, but instead opens the way and allows it to adapt to the site over time.

Octli becomes the landscape restoration measure in Cuatlaco that considers each of the stages of the pulque process. The cyclical relationship of the maturity of the maguey, divided in a staggered manner by production batches, evidences the timelessness of the site. The sea of smoky green along with its ditched paths of clay textures and covered in shadows of pencas, create atmospheres that allow you to delve into the depths of the pulque field that is governed by the orientation and monumentality of natural elements. Meanwhile, whoever comes to witness the ancient profession of the tlachiqueros, observes the spectacle being elevated or submerged by the very land that surrounds him. The tinacal, the guiding axis of the complex, is constantly related to the maguey landscape and its use for the production of pulque, leading the entrance to Cuatlaco and sheltering the town’s community tinacal inside. The tlachiqueros’ temple made with a system of flattened earth with voids for light to enter, recreates the holisitc atmosphere where the production of this spiritual beverage occurs. The tinacal is not as a space dependent on a ranch or a farm, or even as a personal outlet, but as the main activity of the town, a place of conviviality and a tourist attraction. Octli, the house of the maguey in Cuatlaco, recovers the milking of the drink of the gods and recognizes it as the natural vocation of the site.

Splashed throughout the Mexican territory are small treasures, rebels against the homogenizing changes of globalism that threaten an identity. In Cuatlaco Hidalgo, a small town of pulque farmers, that rebellious spirit is still found. Defenders of the earth, provoke tears twice a day, scraping deep inside, the woman with a thousand breasts who fed and will feed a lot. Whoever lives here tells of what was once the golden age of pulque: an emblematic popular Mexican drink that saw its green fields give way to the yellow ears of barley, its greatest rival. But they will also tell of their resilience, guarding the “waters of the green bushes” that years later promise to rise from almost oblivion by those who seek something different, authentic within their roots.
Thesis Project and Architecture Contest Type: Regenaritve Urban and Landscape Architecture Location: Tláhuac, Mexico City Year: 2020 Advisors: Estudio RX - Gabriela Cariilo and Loreta Castro Reguera
Located in one of the most marginalized areas of Mexico City, Cuauzholli Regenerative Park, seeks to restore the landscape of the long-lost lake city, Mexico Tenochtitlan. The project pursues the intervention of one of the Natural Protected Areas (ANP-EXSGA) of Mexico City, defined as a cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 1987. Cuauzholli intervenes in the territory, converting it into a resilient respiratory system within the city. The landscape is transformed into an urban cultivation infrastructure reactivating the endemic canal and Chinampa’s agricultural system. Artificial wetlands and compost beds will become the new ephemeral landscape. The project was created with a progressive design for 40 years, which intends to achieve the total restoration of this devastated ecosystem. As a complementary program, Cuauzholli is composed of four subsets: compost plant, living museum, lake market, and a humanary. Each of them is designed by the replication of a bamboo roof prototype, which adapts to different scales, heights, and modules. Being bamboo an organic material, after 40 years of this master plan, the architecture will degenerate to become compost beds, forgetting the architectural elements that once configured the site and leaving nothing else but a regenerated unique landscape.

During my professional career, I’ve had the opportunity to experiment with different types of architecture. From an ephemeral and experimental analysis to a more permanent construction and interior design. Projects with different scales, locations, clients, styles, and materials have widened my vision and taught me production processes, techniques, and new ways to experiment with constructive elements. My participation in the process, from the early stages of design to the final stages of construction, has helped me complement my academic learning and nourish my development as an architect. No matter how simple or elaborated the project has been, the planning and execution process is fundamental as well as problem-solving skills to achieve the final results.

Architecture Contest Type: Ephemeral Architecture Location: Mexico City, Mexico Year: 2017 Status: Constructed Collaborators: TO Architecture Firm José Amozurutia I Carlos Facio A plane made of copper plates, which from above, can be seen as a clean and reflective surface. Like an echo of the floor of mud squares, and which from below provides a new way of inhabiting the patio, laying bare the tectonics that allows to endure. A new atmosphere of changing shadows, reflections and sounds is built. The museum houses a bell tower for two months. The construction process is totally legible. The frame of rods builds a stable structural system, which allows movement and admits tremor. Its contact allows activating the collision of the plates to generate sound. The inhabitant is a musician and a spectator. The forest causes a new occupation of space. A playful labyrinth that can be touched, shaken. The plane starts from the horizontal element of the window cross and ends at a height of 1.95m to confine us and then free us in an open and flexible area, from which the original solemnity and scale of the space is rediscovered, with the inclusion of this new reflecting plane. Systole and diastole from the street, the corridor, the entrance and the exit. As of tomorrow, the Pavilion is 100% reusable. The rods will go to construction. The 144 plates will be sold and all the money raised will be donated. They are pieces of great beauty, craft value and their uses are endless.

CopperSKIN is a pure element that is molded based on fire and hammer, it keeps an alchemy that is revealed when it comes into contact with the sun. We hold in the highest esteem the craftsmanship that brings it to light. Goeritz’s stele becomes an exempt witness of this skin that came to reflect it. It is discovered from the street, as a reflection in the three existing gray walls, at the end of the long access corridor as a first reflection in the ceiling of the museum. The shape of the plate is designed to allow sounds and resonances, echoes of a silent architecture. conceptualfacadelongitudinal architectural

Like a ship that arrives to anchor for a moment and retire, the pavilion awaits a future life, beyond the end of the fair.

The structural system responds to a logic of stress distribution, which allows clearance of 400m2 without intermediate supports. Each piece of the system is essential and articulates with the others in such a way that the pavilion can be easily assembled and disassembled. Like a Huichol blanket, a Maori fabric or a Tibetan mandala, the set of structures shelters the flow of people to and from all directions, with transit and delay spaces, providing multiple options for travel and permanence.

The International Fair of Friendly Cultures (FICA) is the most important cultural event in Mexico City in the center of the capital. In its tenth edition, the design of the pavilions was entrusted to the architecture firm TO, which was chosen from 61 candidates and five finalists. The project, titled UR, was inspired by the common development of different civilizations around the world. For the Sumerians UR meant city, in Latin it gave rise to the word urbs (hence our word city) and in the Germanic languages it is a prefix that denominates the concept of origin; a universal syllable that represents something essential: making a city TO developed a project that arises from placing a seed and replicating it in a grid to form an arrangement that frees the corners of the square and forms a system of agoras covered by wide covers that provide shade and cross ventilation to its spaces. visitors. The final result is an architectural complex that refers to the origin of our city, which underlies the stone enclosure of the zócalo, an urban center made up of roads, squares and plinths.

Type: Residential Architecture Location: Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
The Casa Cobá housing complex was developed to create an architectural object that responds with a harmonious and functional design to the specific characteristics of the site: Puerto Aventuras, Tulum. The complex is resolved by a central axis compositional element. Complemented with a vegetal pathway, the axis generates a microclimate entrance experience. In addition, it respects the horizontal circulation of the user, continuously guiding him from the entrance to the common areas and transversally, secondary circulations are created to the private access of each of the departments. This T-shaped circulation design creates a gap between the two architectural elements that make up the complex and also helps promote cross ventilation within the apartments. The main facades respond to the aesthetic regulations and image conservation requested by the municipality, giving continuity to design elements such as sloping roofs of clay tile and wooden railings. However, Chukum, the main design material, is an endemic flattening technique to the area, which the project adopts to create an interior that adapts to the climate and gives the project a more regional appearance.
