Project Description: The exponential loss of industrial land in the inner city is challenging the role of zoning planning. In London, the urban growth based on housing, retail and office schemes, have continued to put pressure on industrial land in order to satisfy markets needs. As a response the proposal will be based on how industrial parks can achieve a more highly intermixed environment, where housing and industrial functions can coexist in the same environment based on knowledge productivity for a long-term vision.

The strategy will be based on the canal as a main armature that organizes the territory. The creation of inner environments will aloud to create a highy dense diversity around the territory in order to upgrade areas and provide the necessary services.

Integrated and Productive Territory
The upgraded industrial urbanity is based on the strategy to regenerate and raise the value proposition with the insertion of housing and production functions in what is used to be low value industrial area .
Having established a guiding principle, the main goal is to provide a vision of the park as productive and knowledge transfer element, where industry and housing environments can be related. Also it should be interpreted as the third element that creates synergies with housing environments in relation to innovative industrial developments. In such scenario the boundary between labour and free time is completely blurred, leisure, social and working activities become one continuous sphere.

The structure is adaptable to unforeseen situations. It can accommodate a different set of events.
The proposal shows the quality that canal and the bridge can achieve. The industrial area is turning into a livable and collaborative territory.

Project Description: The 2012 Olympics became a way to foster support for the regeneration of this entire region of the city through the designation of the Olympic Park Legacy Plan. As a necessity for the city’s development today, knowledge institutions are becoming integral to the problem of developing new centralities. This opportunity is often is often utilized as a catalyst event for the urban development of the city, particularly in regeneration projects and expansion of the city to peripheral zones. The goal is to plan for the mixture of functions of the city centre to create the social and economic intensity from the start, rather than allowing it to development piecemeal over time.

At the same time, it is opened to the street for the creation of new knowledge, productive and living environments that will improve the liveliness and interaction between the city and the collective space.
The variation of levels creates light and dark spaces for the distribution of different functions accordingly.

Director: Alistair
Project Description: TJX launched a competition to set the new headquarters in Watford, UK. The proposal was focused to rethink the idea of a campus. The strategy was based on the public realm as a main connector. The relation between the inside and the outside become the principal concept to rethink how the collaborative and leisure spaces can be developed. The relation to open and more domestic environments changed the idea of the office space as an isolated space into a more dynamic and domestic working environment.

Urban Integration Transparency & Permeability
The ground floor becomes a permeable container allowing the exchange of activities and program between surrounding areas as a toll of mobility and integration to the immediate surroundings.
The relation between the higher and lower levels is developed through an exploration of the expansion of ground floor into its surroundings as a means of generating new collaborative environments.

Director: Glyn Hurrey
Project Description: JP Morgan asked Scott Brownrigg to do a proposal for a regeneration masterplan. The current situation of the business park demanded a new configuration and distribution to achieve 300,000.00 sqft. As a first move JP Morgan decided to build Building 5&6 in order to offer the pharmaceutics companies new office space and upgrade the appearance of the business park. The concept of the building relies on the typical U shape building and a central core. The flexibility and efficiency of the building offers to divide each floor into three tenants in order to be competitive in the market,

Project Description: The strategy was based on the rigorous functionality and protocols of the military complex. At the same time, the Mexican government demanded new shelter for the new Presidential aircraft and new military equipment. The refurbishment of the old facilities was an essential challenge in order to achieve the client’s requirements, and provide new services for the existing crew.

Project Description: For the 2013 – 2018 government period, the Mexico City Government has decided to create the New Economic and Social Development Zones programme. These territories would promote a strategy for urban regeneration in terms of social and economic demands. As an opportunity area, the south of Mexico City offers a controversial piece of land, which is the actual Government Asphalt factory. This factory is going to be transformed into a housing and business hub, in order to regenerate the area. For that reason, the Technology city will be an opportunity to increase density and regenerate a new local economy for the benefit of the inhabitants.

Tutor: Juan Pablo Serrano Orozco
Award: Manuel Garibay (1st place )
Project Description: The Escandon Hospital has served to the population for more than 100 years. It is located in Tacubaya , one of the most important areas of public transportation in the city. The exploration on how to regenerate the area opened up the interest to regenerate the existing services such as a hospital in order to maximise the value proposition of the territory. The project retakes the central courtyard typology of the existing facility in order to maximise the space and create an internal environment for the users. The architectural strategies such as double façade are explored in order to maintain the primary function of isolation.

Tajin Complex, Mexico City

Tutor: Julio Gaeta
Project Description: The tower Tajin is part of the Housing Complex named Unidad Independencia located in the south of Mexico City. This housing facility was an innovative social housing project from the 1960’s developed by the Mexican government. Nowadays, most of the facilities are out dated and the density that they offer doesn’t respond to the actual housing demand and basic local necessities. The project proposes a new mixed-use scheme were it could provide new services to the area and introduce new housing units in order to bring vitality to the territory.

Project Description: The 4 terrace house were developed in a gated community close to Mexico City. The idea was to develop a typology that can explore and offer different conditions between shared and private spaces. A sense community was the principal concept in order to encourage the well being of the inhabitants.

Project Description: The two houses were developed under a concept of voids and double height spaces. The strategy of using the voids between the private rooms offered a completely detached and independent environment. On the other hand, the double height spaces which are the living area have a hierarchy that brings together the segregation of the other activities.

happens in space.”
