    Ecological Corridors Systemfor a City of 100,000

    The plan is derived from a Traffic and Transport plandesigned by one of the associated offices in 1999that instrumented a simplication of a circulatorysystem rather complex because of an almost platonictrace of the urban fabric. The mayor of the city had

    the political will to apply sustainable measures in acity that technically permited a great percentage ofpedestrian and bike movements.The general plan is geometrically very simple in thestrategical level since the original city traced in 1933developed a centrifugal urban pattern. The housing ar-eas are located in the perimeter while the main com-mercial and services areas happen, still, at the center.Taking advantage of wide street sections the plan getsto the detail in prototypical crossroads, streets, andpublic spaces.

    SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE (SUPERIOR INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN)1ST PRIZE IDEAS COMPETITION & SCHEMATIC DESIGN

    Mxico is not a country of architectural competitions and Chihuahuais no exception. ISAD as a school of architecture tried to put an exampleof free discussion and confrontation of ideas for its future campuslocated in a vacant area in the west of the city with an open design

    competition. Given the location of the school, and the program itself,the main guidelines were: design a strong indoor-outdoor relationshipby the use of a series of enclosed cour tyards and provide a flexible andopen structure that privileges the exposure of works to the communityfavoring full visibility of studio space. The surrounding landscape isbrought into the school by openings in between the main cour tyardwhile the lenght of the lot is used as a permeable collection of naturalpavements and vegetation that in the near future, as the city arrives,will become an oasis of the natural landscape, while achievingpresupuestal viability.

    ECOLOGICAL CORRIDORS FOR THE CITYOF CHIHUAHUA, CHIHUAHUA.

    During 2003 the minicipality of Chihuahua decidedto update the downtown plan of the city which datedback to 1999. Among the main interests for theupdate were the recent adquisition of new territorialreserves property of the state within the area. The

    largest addition to the plan besides the adaptationof public interests and programs to the new publicgrounds was the design of a corridor system whichwas schematicly determined in the first plan.The main criteria was to shift from a purely traditionalpedestrian approach to a fuller and richer conceptintegrating alternative mobility -in bikelanes- andspecific criteria for every urban element and prototypi-cal urban design.

    BINATIONAL BORDER CROSSING STATION INANAPRA, CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO - SUNLANDPARK, NEW MEXICO, USA.Competition entry.The site had already been the explorative place for the exchangeprogram between ISAD and UNM in 2002 and 2003 in whichGabriel Diaz Montemayor participated as exchange professor. Pro-fessor Christopher Calott of UNM proposed the project to MiquelAdria, Arquine magazine editor, and it become one of the mostsuccessful competitions of the still short history of the journal.Our proposal had a programatic approach as we found out laterconfronting it with the winning entries, which relied more in theconceptual abstractions of the border. Our project was in a way,a practical adaptation of the seductive power of the object andthe landscape conceived by a design team of northern Mexicanborder-crossers. The main idea was a floating no-nation neutralspace above the fence, from where pedestrians could enjoy amoment of comtemplation of the border fact while hovering overit with filtered light and views into the natural enclosure of the

    landscape.

    DOWNTOWN CIUDAD JUAREZPUBLIC SPACE MASTER PLAN

    The downtown area of CiudadJurez is at the same time the mainturistic atraction for Americanswalking from El Paso downtown,

    the main traditional market area,the main government and religiousbuildings area, and the enclave fordrugs, prostitution, and crime.

    The city called for a plan enhancingthe public space structure of thearea. We proposed an estrategi-cal approach in a timeline favoringflows from the border, renovatingtraditional public spaces (like theBenito Jurez Square), and pro-posing new ones. Every space isthought as a connecting stage intoanother one, from the border sta-tion area, into the main acequia oragricultural waterway at the center,into the emblematic center that isprivileged by the widening of a Zo-

    calo in between colonnial buildings.

    Re-Construction of the Plaza Juarez in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua

    Like the revolutionary past President of Mexico, Benito Juarez, a newlyre-constructed plaza that bears his name envisions a bold new future forMexican public spaces. Plaza Juarez in Centro Ciudad Juarez is a 20,000square meter public project marked by a dynamic arrangement of site spe-cific geometries and programs that entirely replace the former plaza, a static

    Porfiriato-styled classical composition. This daring reconfigured publicspace provides a fresh interpretation of the requisite apparatus for urban life,while serving as the catalyst for the regeneration of a deteriorated Downtownzone.

    Designed by Gabriel Diaz Montemayor, Benito Rodriguez Cuesta and Ro-drigo Seanez Quevedo, three young architects and professors at the InstitutoSuperior de Arquitectura y Diseno in Chihuahua, the design for the PlazaJuarez reflects their intellectual and professional commitment to the investi-gation of new spatial paradigms for the contemporary Mexican City. Reject-ing the historicist notion of the closed hierarchical garden as the modelfor an appropriate landscape architecture, these architects produced anassemblage of flowing open spaces to create a series of urban forums. Theprogram for this new plaza is the City itself. The design organization is de-rived from direct responses to existing and desired programmatic elementsacting upon the plaza. Along the plazas northern boundary, a new linear busstation is fashioned out of vertical metallic shades and concrete, providingshelter and access portals to the plaza, from the principle avenue. A wideeast-west paseo bisects the length of the plaza, anticipating a connection to

    a new train line into the city. The paseo ends in a long sloping amphitheatrecreated by a gentle 3 meter depression in the plaza floor and surrounded bysteps which act as seating. Nearby, three vacant cinema buildings are nolonger in operation. The amphitheater restores this end of the plaza as a sitefor performance and urban spectacle, thereby resonating with the collectivememory of the city.

    The subversion of the classical garden hierarchy is most evident in thedecision to fully reveal, for the first time, the 15-meter tall columnar monu-ment to President Benito Juarez, which in the old plaza was obscured within

    a tree canopy. The new scheme avoids direct frontal and axial relationships

    to the monument in favor of tangential and completely open views of this im-portant historical element. This is achieved through the selective eliminationof a portion of the formal trees in the original plaza and through the eradi-cation of the classical path system. Instead, articulated islands of gardenlandscape and trees are preserved, allowing the visitor to more freely par-ticipate in the activities of the plaza. The experience of the landscape itself isheightened when parallel stripes of inexpensive concrete pavers, or horizon-

    tal concrete benches, are interrupted to accommodate a stand of existingtrees or sloping lawn. Most significantly, the experience of the Benito Juarezmonument from a position 3 meters below its base summons a dramaticnew scale, hierarchy and relationship with the viewer.

    In constructing this thoroughly contemporary landscape, Diaz, Rodriguezand Seanez give this Mexican city a new interpretation of the public realm.Clean, open and without historical precedent, the plaza is heralded by resi-dents of this chaotic border city as a great success. The re-constructedPlaza Juarez challenges Mexico to investigate new spatial paradigms for therevitalization of its cities and its public spaces.

    The square substitutes a surface parking lot that occupied the former cus-

    toms patio for years. The main ideas of the project were:-To maintain formal & functional unity with the public space master plan. Fol-lowing the design patterns and material palette employed in the initial projectof the Benito Juarez Square.-To provide and strenghten pedestrian connections accross the square rein-forcing circulations provoqued by the traditional market district contiguous tothe southern boundary of the square.-Respect and integrate the prexisting railroad custom shelters as well asthe BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) station in between. Today this bus stop is not

    functioning, but, when it does, it has the full potential to become the mainpublic transportation connection between the southern housing areas andthe downtown sector.-Establish a respectful relationship with the historic buildings of the old cus-toms museum (Museo de la Antigua Aduana de Ciudad Juarez) & the waterauthority.

    The design is organized in a parallel fabric of concrete axis -strips- contain-ing hard and soft areas in the shape of gardens and concrete pavers. To fur-ther enhance spatial definitions and hierarchies in the square, the concretestrips elevate and slope confining program and concept.

    Today, the built half of the Mision de Guadalupe square has become a vitalelement of the reactivation of Ciudad Juarez original center point for develop-ment.

    SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY PLAN(PSMUS) FOR THE CITY OF CHIHUA-HUA. DIAGNOSE.

    The municipality of the City of Chihuahua calledfor a competition of the Sustainable UrbanMobility Plan for the metropolitan area and itsregionalconnections. Our competition entry was

    organized around the previous urban planningand urban design experiences of our local workand the work of our partner firm Escala delNorte. The international interdisciplinary teamwas headed by Cal y Mayor, transportationconsultants from Mexico City, and TTC transpor-tation specialists from Brazil, NUSTATS surveyersfrom the United States, among others. The mainresponsibility for our firm was the developmentof the urban diagnose and prognostic, as well asthe architectural design for the proposed trans-portation corridors, public space,and immediateurban actions.

    In the case of the urban diagnose. The Depar-ture from existing urban plans and field studiesoverlaid with detailed transportation origin anddestiny became one of the main products toconfirm the infunctionality of the city as a mobil-ity system. Chihuahua is today one of the leastdense urban areas of Mexico, a condition perme-ated with the proximity to the US and ahealthy economy in relationship to the rest of the

    country.

    The model created by density, urban structure,land use, public space, natural landscape, infrae-structure, and growth patterns became the baseto further explore urban alternatives in the urbanprognostic chapte r.

    One of the main conclusions of this study wasthat the mobility problem of the city is directlyderived from the urban patterns employed today.One of segregation of space in opposition to theopen interconnected city.

    SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY PLAN (PSMUS). PROGNOSTIC.The second stage of the urban chapter for the mobility plan was to a series of potentialfuture scenarios for the city of Chihuahua.The first one is the realistic one, the tendential, where the actual urban behaviour of thecity is projected to the next 20 years. The result of this projection proved to be sufficientlydramatic, thus justifying the need for the implementation of new urban politics. The city of

    Chihuahua proved to be unsuitable to keep on going with a centrifugal urban developmentpattern where great investment on infraestructure is far superior than whats actually avail-able and disproportioned to most of the low income housing conditions which make up themajority of the market.The second scenario was the ideal condition. A city where centripetal growth prevails overexpansive patterns. A city where density is embraced, sustained by efficient public transpor-tation systems and infrastructure, enhanced and made possible by public space systems.The third -named factible- scenario was the exploration of a mixture between traditionalexpansive development and the application of densification urban politics such as the ap-plication of massive or semi-massive public transportation networks.This intermediate scenario became the sought condition to further justify a qualification ofmobility in the city, understood as one of the first steps into an integral sustainable city.

    SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY PLAN (PSMUS). MOBILITY ALTERNATIVES.The third chapter in which our office participated in the PSMUS was part of the proposal for urban actions and the publictransportation system. The proposed system is based in the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit ) model asthe main structural line along urban corridors -following the north - south main axis of the city- which are interconnectedto the whole urban area by a traditional system of buses like the onee in use today.The main corridors articulate to secondary corridors and with a system of bikelanes, linear parks, and public space. Thestrategy works then as a system collecting people from the housing areas into the work/commerce/service areas furtherestablishing the logical relationship between origin and destiny. All the non-motorized corridors will be furnished with

    outdoor furniture, lightning, vegetation, as well as bus stops / shelter building becoming the cornerstone elements of thenew urban image and function of the city and of which the architecturewas responsibility of our office. The main criteria for every new urban element in the public realm reacts with low maint-einance materials, an open character in order to promote safety, and ecological criteria addressing materials and solarorientation.

    CHIHUAHUA CITY TRADITIONAL MARKET REVITALIZATION.

    The city of Chihuahua called for the first time to an open design competition to renovate thetraditional market area of the city, just one block away from the emblematic center con-formed by the colonnial baroque cathedral, the main plaza (central as in the Law of Indies),and the Municipal Presidency. However, the market has a deteriorated image that has

    lowered the service level that today focuses in low income shoppers.We proposed a scheme inspired, respectful, and inducive of the freedom and color ofMexican traditional markets like this one. By choosing a neutral pavement pattern making themain street pedestrian but at the same time open to cargo vehicules that supply the smallstores. By highlighting with color a sloped section of the street, and by 3 extensions of newopen public space extending from 4th St. Connecting with transportation corridors and 2market buildings.

    SACRAMENTO PARK. CHIHUAHUA, CHIHUAHUA. 2007.The city of Chihuahua has just reopened its former river front to the Sacramento river with the constructionof a new avenue following the river bank on its west side. For hundreds of years the relationship betweenthe city and the river was one of blending and dissolving urban form into the river in the shape of farmsand orchards. In the XX century this shifted into the opposite, a negation of the natural resource, thereforethe river became one of the most important illegal and legal dumping grounds for the city. The importanceof the new avenue is that it made this condition visible being therefore corrected.The site was configured by the new avenue. It is highly visible from this element and from the city due

    to its proximity with the Quinta Carolina hacienda. Today a ruin but in the future one of the largest publicspaces and cultural equipments of the northern half of the city, where most of the low income populationlives.With the described site conditions, the city choose the site to nationally start a public space programinaugurated by the president in early 2007.The program includes gardens, hard public spaces, and playgrounds. Conceptually, the design is dividedin two halves. The one in contact with the neighborhoods contains the program, while the one in relation-ship with Sacramento avenue and river organizes tree grooves and urban elements as if ordered in one ofthe former plantations that formerly occupied the site, in an effort to maintain and establish a pattern inthat boundary where a logical relationship happened but unfortunately was lost.

    FRATERNITY HOUSE GARDENS AND OUTDOOR SOCIAL SPACES INALABAMA.

    Found within the campus grounds of Auburn University this fraternity property has beendeteriorating in recent years. A group of former students has organized to renovate acharacter of publicness and openess lost in recent years.One of the main stimuli for the project was how to negotiate with the empty space of theformer dormitory wing, temporarily covered with a bocce field.

    The terrace contained by the L scheme of the complex blends and slopes into the presentvoid of the dormitory now a lawn in between the parking lot and the buildings. A seriesof parallel axis of trees and bushes materializes the connection between the generousopen space and the hard surface of the parking lot as the main tailgating space during thefootball season.

    URBAN LIGHTHOUSE AND LINEAR PARK IN CHIHUAHUA.Private competition entry for a new development area west of Chihuahua City.The main components of the program were an emblematic roundabout accesspoint and around it, the disposition of commercial spaces and public openplazas that connect to a desert wash. This linear element stretches to the northand east, determining the conditions for urbanization around it. The proposalseeks to integrate the symbolic sculptural - programmed roundabout with thedry river, extending connections between the new subdivisions, providing pub-

    lic space, a jogging and biking corridor, while protecting the natural conditionand ecology of the drainage system, maintaining the expressive vegetation ofthe wet season.
