For the last two decades, Mexico has grappled with an escalating wave of violence that has put the entire nation on edge, but it is particularly alarming and dangerous simply for being a woman. This alarming trend, characterized by uncontrolled levels of violence and fueled by a deeply ingrained misogynistic culture, underscores the urgent need … Read more
The task is to apply the logic of natural phenomena to architectural scale. Considering the hexagonal extrusions that were developed on the Kangaroo surface, Its been decided to do a pavilion with climate responsive facade system. When I took another look on what kind of responsive system i should go for, I’ve found out that … Read more
The selected elements from my catalog serve as the foundation for this exploration, culminating in a volumetric design that integrates various features. Key characteristics include a facade excavation for natural airflow, an exposed staircase spanning the building’s length, and a core ‘fish bone’ structure, reminiscent of the Pedregulho Housing Complex, enclosed by a curtain glass … Read more
We are daily exposed to negative environments and situations in our daily lives, such as city noise, spending a lot of time indoors, lack of greenery, and long working hours. Studies have shown that we spend 35 hours per week in such conditions and that stress is a major cause of illnesses. The best stress … Read more
