Crystallization. What is it? Crystallization is a process in which a solid material forms from a liquid or gas phase, resulting in the arrangement of atoms or molecules in a highly ordered, three-dimensional structure known as a crystal lattice. This process is driven by changes in temperature, pressure, or the concentration of solute in a … Read more
MonarchaSpectra
CONTEXT Michoacán, Mexico, faces a significant challenge due to consistently high temperatures. The health and well-being of the population are at risk, as prolonged exposure to extreme heat can lead to heat-related illnesses and discomfort. Their high temperatures can affect biodiversity, altering the migration patterns of species, as the monarch butterflies. Every year, millions of … Read more
ASSEMBLED ARCHITECTURE
The coming future will force architects to address the issues/necessities of density and the urgency to create more data-informed spatial configurations, such as assemblages, and embedding sets of specific architectural features. Being able to ‘inform’ large-scale systems, taking advantage of modularity, and defining the metrics toevaluate different spatial alternatives is a crucial ability. Custom Assemblage … Read more
Assembled Architecture
The project aimed to explore self-shading selection method to create assemblages with a filtering method to control the growth by direction patterns. The assemblages were then evaluated with a several criterias related with the accessible outdoor areas. Those criteria were then used to shape those outdoor spaces and the units facades that are facing them. … Read more

Echoes of Tomorrow
Abstract: The Anthropocene has seen exponential growth in technology, enabling humans to transform their environment and exploit natural resources on an unprecedented scale having led to widespread environmental changes, including climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and alterations in the Earth’s landforms and water systems. However, the unequal distribution of resources and power has also led … Read more
