1itesm chapelMonterrey, Nuevo León, MéxicoFall Semester, 2009
Spiritualitythrough lightInspired in the MIT chapel by Eero Saarinen, the program was lifted from the ground level using rectangular columns.
Four small chapels are organized in a cruciform floor plan. A large space designed for celebrations for people of all creeds and religions, rests above these chapels.
The cylinder is surrounded by a void that is enclosed by a larger cylinder. This void enables the light to travel from the upper window to the ground level, illuminating the whole chapel.

RedefiningparadigmsAs urban sprawl is an important issue in the cities of northern México, a new paradigm for the cities growth was to be proposed.A main volume, the spinal cord, serves as the structure for the project, housing both service and circulation cores.ISO containers plug in to the spinal cord, providing a suitable space for offices. Joining several containers offers the possibility of creating larger spaces.A large curtain wall wrapping an internal void serves as unifying element relating every level to the others as well as the building with the city.

4obispado apartmentsMonterrey, Nuevo León, MéxicoSpring Semester, 2012
One with themountainA mix-use complex, located in a very steep site, erupts from the «Cerro del Obispado» (Obispado Hill) in search for the best views of the city. The uniqueness of the site, called for a concept in which the program was lifted from the ground, creating a powerful public space. The circular form was chosen over a square one due to its increased perimeter, generating breath-taking vistas. With an area over 100,000 sq ft, the program consists of 28 apartments and 250,000 sq ft dedicated to commercial and retail use.
