      <image:title>Projects - Liesma Hotel</image:title>
      <image:caption>m2: 15,000 Type: Competition Location: Jurmala, Latvia Year: 2011 A hotel that aims to reproduce in material form the ephemeral process of the diffusion of sound.  This is a process of vibrant outward expression and subsequent decay.  It is a narrative of the loss of integrity and dematerialization in space. From the outset we do not consider the ground floor, which is the focus of public activity in the hotel, to be a solid block. The key points of attraction identified for the hotel’s public program are distributed outwards throughout the site where they can best appreciate its natural qualities.  The result is an outward movement of the hotel that spreads out in shapes designed to penetrate further into the site.  At this point the spaces of the hotel are subject to decay.  Outward movement becomes a material story of decay as closed and protected rooms clad in wood lose their materiality and gradually turn into glass.   As we move away from the tower delicate curvatures lose fidelity.  They become increasingly faceted and deprived of detail.  Towards the edges of the site the hotel resolves into jagged polygonal forms of transparent glass that open up to the trees beyond as the journey continues into the horizon.  The hotel disappears.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Ciudad Guzman Master Plan</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 1000000 Location: Guzman, Jalisco, Mexico Year: 2009 Guzman is a small and very picturesque historic city an hour south of Guadalajara and was selected as the official venue for Rowing and Canoeing in the 2011 Pan-American Games because of its proximity to a large lake. Like most cities in Mexico, Guzman has been gradually growing in size and population with no apparent strategy or planning. With the excuse of the Pan-American Games and the construction of a new Rowing Facility on its lake, the government decided it was time for the city to have a Master Plan. Guzman has a huge potential to become a destination city because of its many attractions: its undeveloped and almost virgin-like lake, the historic center with its cathedral and many churches, the ten universities and the conglomerate cliffs of the nearby mountains. We identified these specific areas as quiescent spheres waiting to be roused to interact with each other, like atoms in a dormant state before a chain reaction transforms them into energy. The concept behind the master plan is to take advantage of the intervention of the Pan-American Games to trigger the potential and the interaction of different areas of the city.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Unidad Revolucion Master Plan</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 170000 Location: Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico Type: Comission Year: 2008 Guadalajara, the second-ranking city in importance in Mexico, was chosen to host the XVI Pan-American Games in 2011. Like all major sporting events, they become the perfect excuse for the government to inject money into the city through the creation of new sporting facilities and urban revitalization. Such was the case with Unidad Revolución, the official venue for Field Hockey, Wrestling, Archery, Speed Skating, Basketball and Athletic Sports. We were commissioned with the design of specific interventions in the site as well as the master plan of the surrounding area. The master plan focused on revitalizing the neighborhoods two main avenues and promoting their pedestrian footpaths. New vegetation, street furniture, lighting, and pavement design were proposed to incentivize social interaction and eventually become the main attraction of the area.  The program required specific interventions in the venue and the urban fabric: a pedestrian bridge for the main public access, a special access for athletes, a parking structure, an open air auditorium and the regeneration of a residual area alongside a historic aqueduct connecting the two avenues.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Kolor Store</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 47 Location: Cuernavaca Morelos, Mexico Type: Comission Team: Emelio Barjau, Hans Aldrete, Jorge Alcantar, Christian Morales, JoseLuis Anguiano Year: 2013 The concept of Kolor shop is inspired by the work of French artist Georges Rousse. Knowing that the store would sell watches of different brands and would not have a concept or image per se, customers wanted the focal point to call out much more attention. With this intention and the name of the store, the concept was born. We capture some color stripes on the façade that when viewed from the front look like they are overlapping. In the inside of the store, you realize that the color stripes are painted throughout the interior and is just a trick of perspective that makes them look superimposed from the outside.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Acapulco Bay Bridge</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 700000 Location: Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico Year: 2010 Tall mountains divide the city of Acapulco in two and the main connecting routes, the coastal avenue around the bay and the scenic highway, have soon become overloaded, engendering huge traffic problems and literally mutating into linear parking lots. The natural solution is to unite the two ends of the bay with a bridge thus creating an alternative route that shortens the distance between the two ends of the city. The municipal government does not have the resources to build a three-kilometer bridge and never will. By transforming its supporting structure into habitable spaces, private equity can be invited for its construction. This way, developers can acquire and sell on prime seafront real estate and the city solves one of its chief problems.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Mexican Pavilion Expo Shanghai</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 4000 Location: Shanghai, China Type: Competition Year: 2009 World Expositions have become redundant and their pavilions have lost the capacity to communicate purpose to the point that they appear as empty architectural masterpieces. With this premise, our mission in this competition was crystal clear: to create a Pavilion charged with meaning that portrays and criticizes Mexicos situation in a globalized world in crisis. Mexico, like many third world countries, has seen its economy overturned by the new superpower China has become. Not being able to compete with its ridiculously low manufacturing costs, many small and large companies have gone out of business. Its almost cynical for China to host the 2010 World Exposition after it has wrecked the economies of most of the countries that will take part in it. Our pavilion is a caricature of the historical moment Mexico is battling to overcome. To accomplish this, we made a parody of the national symbol, a serpent curled up inside a cactus waiting to be devoured by the new eagle of capitalism: China.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - La Tallera Museum</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 3000 Location: Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico Type: Competition Date: 2010 The competition sponsored by the INBA (National Institute of Fine Arts) proposed the transformation of David Alfaro Siqueiros work studio into a world-class museum without losing its original character of an art workshop and a center for experimentation. A series of contemporary buildings without any apparent planning, logic or order other than to satisfy the necessities of creating the mural made up the workshop. The intention of the proposal was to select which constructions should be preserved, which should be demolished and which new buildings were needed in order to create an architectural element to envelop these volumes and give order and unity to the complex. This skin embraces, includes, compromises and orders the series of buildings that solve the different requirements of the program in an integrated architectural expression. On the main façade, it acts as a protagonist accentuating the access in a mimetic gesture that responds to the external mural. In the interior patio and main gallery, it abandons this role to take on a more functional one as it protects the exhibition spaces from the natural elements. In the office building and studio tower it adapts to its geometry and the resulting form is its product.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - The Earthscraper</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 775000 Location: Mexico City Type: Competition Year: 2009 The Historic Center of Mexico City is in a desperate need of a programmatic make-over. New infrastructure, office, retail and living space is required but no empty plots are available. Federal and local laws prohibit demolishing historic buildings and height regulations limit new structures to eight stories. The Earthscraper is the Skyscrapers antagonist in a historic urban landscape where the latter is condemned and the preservation of the built environment is the paramount ambition. It preserves the iconic presence of the city square and the existing hierarchy of the buildings that surround it. It is an inverted pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting and ventilation. To conserve the numerous activities that take place on the city square year round (concerts, political manifestations, open-air exhibitions, cultural gatherings, military parades.), the massive hole is covered with a glass floor that allows the life of the Earthscraper to blend with everything happening on top.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Glassbox</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 1500 Location: Mexico City Type: Competition Team: Emelio Barjau, Hans Aldrete, Jorge Alcantar, Christian Morales, Marcell Ibarrola, Montserrat Escobar Year: 2013 Glassbox is the first Reality Show for Architecture in Mexico and the world. The concept was created by Gerardo Broissin and was held as a tournament of architecture in real time and live, in the Auditorium Roberto Cantoral of Mexico City in early 2013. It consisted of eight architectural firms competing with each other to pick a winner. Each office had six team members participating in the contest. The topic to be developed was secret and revealed minutes before the start of the tournament. The theme that we had the four offices on the first day was a Citizen Service Module at a specific site. In the first round we faced a scenario in four offices, each in a glass case, where there was no visibility between the boxes, they only had view to the public. All things said and did in the boxes projected on the screens in the auditorium so that the audience could follow the development of projects. At the end of the day, after eight hours of development, teams had to deliver presentations to the event organizers for the next morning to present their projects to the public and a selected jury. Of the four teams, passed only two and so on until they had the winner.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Taiwan Tower</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 22000 Location: Taichung City, Taiwan Type: Competition Team: Emelio Barjau, Adrian Aguilar, Bernardo Bieri, Francisco Cruz, Laura Fontaine, Mitl Gaxiola, Marcel Ibarrola, Diego Jasso, Alan Matiella , Angel Rivero &amp; Jaime Sol. Year: 2011 We started the proposal with a simple but relevant question: How to conceive an icon landmark for Taichung? Our research explored a wide range of conceptual references in order to find an artistic expression that was coherent with the Taiwanese culture and society. For us, the main goal of this multifunctional landmark is to blend with the city, not in aesthetic terms but in the ideas of appropriation and belonging. The original program for the project was divided in two main elements, the Taiwan Tower and the Taichung City Museum. Both programs share the same idea: to enhance the urban culture of Taichung citizens and to create a center for the exchange of new ideas on green technology, urban spatial planning and culture in general. Our strategy to achieve these goals is to reinforce the cultural nature of the project by incorporating a few program elements that will concentrate a major number of people and increase the visitors not just because it’s the new Taichung Icon, but because it’s where everything happens. The multifunctional but cultural related program inside the Tower will re-create an urban system as individual boxes are layered and super imposed in a deconstructed vertical organization. As a starting point for the design of the tower we carried out a series of formal experiments using the TANGRAM, a typical Chinese board game that allowed us to define the geometry that became the foundation for our proposal. The resulting geometry of our studies is a volume with triangular sections similar to the natural formations of different minerals as the quartz and the amethyst. This reminded us of the giant crystal formations of the Naica Cave in the north of Mexico, a cave connected to the Naica Mine 300 meters below the surface. In an attempt to fuse these two cultural revelations, the TANGRAM puzzle and the Naica Caves, we took on the strategy of materializing the mineral qualities of the geometry of the tower and let the proposal be influenced by this abstraction. The Taiwan Tower as a giant quartz in the middle of the city. Following this logic, we wanted to take this cultural cross breading a step further by accentuating the material quality of the minerals. The composition of the inner program of the tower resembles these natural formations. The outer structural skin protects and gives support to the interior space. The organization of the inner program was deconstructed with the intention of generating a series of elongated boxes superimposed on top of each other to resemble the interior of the Naica Cave. The form, structure, materiality and functionality of the tower are a direct result of an evolution process that amalgamates our basic concepts: the abstraction of the TANGRAM puzzle as a representative element of the Chinese culture and the Naica Cave in Mexico as a unique manifestation in the world. This cultural cross breading gives our tower an unexampled, distinctive and particular character.</image:caption>

Instead of presenting the vast diversity and richness of Mexican cuisine as the competition brief established, we decided on focusing on a national treasure that today forms part of the cultural legacy of many countries in the world: the Mexican Chili. The chili originated in Mexico and in the 16th century disseminated all over the world when the spanish discovered America. Our pavilion is an opportunity to explore the 145 types of Mexican chili in their natural state through a green roof that becomes the main attraction of the exhibition.</image:caption>

Dolores Robles, Marcell Ibarrola, Jorge Alcantar, Christian Morales &amp; Montserrat Escobar Year: 2012 Designed by BNKR Arquitectura and A001, their proposal for the new National Museum of Afghanistan turns to the Afghan people for their version of history. Through an eloquent architectural plan and a daring museographic concept, the integration of a new building into the site in Kabul offers a whole new reading of the Afghan History through its ethnic and archaeological treasures, intertwined with multiple multi-sensory strategies. More images and architects description after the break. As an architectural project, it offers a solid, safe space for knowledge to be shared, but most of all, for knowledge to be born; the building, simultaneously, integrates itself into the general landscape due to its comprehensive use of local materials and mimesis of the orographic patterns and stands out in the Afghan landscape due to its cutting edge design, strategic location and discoursive proposal. Set in a 47,725 square meter site, the new National Museum of Afghanistan is placed in a strategic place for high impact innovation. A metaphor of a mountain as a distinguished place for obtaining knowledge and a resource for national protection, the main buildings structure holds its ground as a monumental representation for Afghan history and its possible future.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - Siqueiros Museum Tower</image:title>
      <image:caption>Siqueiros Museum Tower The Polyforum Siqueiros, a project that integrates the Arts, holds the masterpiece of David Alfaro Siqueiros, the largest mural in the world with over 8,000 square meters of painting. Conceived in the middle of the 60´s by Siqueiros, the artist, Don Manuel Suárez, the patron, and Joaquin Álvarez Ordónez, Rossell de la Lama and Ramón Miquelajáuregui, the architects, it was designed as an architectural diamond which was integrated with mural painting to form a modern artistic unity. The Polyforum was inaugurated in 1971 and since then has remained a private precinct, property of the Suárez family, who has undertaken the responsibility of the expense of its maintenance and restoration. In 1980, Siqueiros' murals of the Polyforum were declared Monuments of Mexico's National Patrimony, though the property and the building itself of the Polyforum have remained private property. The Polyforum is totally covered with mural painting, both in the interior as the exterior, which makes it a world unique building: 2,500 sq.mts. form the interior dome of The March of Humanity, 2,500 sq.mts. on the twelve exterior panels and 3,500 sq.mts. on the roof. After four decades since its creation, the Polyforum has three major problems: the first, are the materials with which the murals were constructed, panels of asbestos cement and fiberglass. With the passing of the years these fragile materials have cracked and broken. The second problem, are the paints used by Siqueiros: automotive paint, which over the years has been exposed to the elements, the sun, acid rain and contamination, which have greatly damaged it, requiring constant restoration. The third problem, the most important of all, is the economic aspect. Being a private museum that doesn't have any government support or subsidy, it requires a constant expenditure for its maintenance and restoration. The Polyforum does not have sufficient funds to be able to carry out its mission, which is to promote and preserve Siqueiros' murals. Due to these problems, the owners have come up with a solution that will make the Polyforum Siqueiros self-sustainable for the next 100 years, and which will guarantee its maintenance, conservation and promotion: an integral project that without changing the land use with which it has functioned since its creation, and without moving, touching, covering or affecting the Polyforum, will generate new spaces which with their rental will feed the Administrative Trust, for the preservation of the Polyforum. The building of the Polyforum occupies only 3,500 sq.mts. of a piece of land measuring 8,272 sq.mts., which leaves sufficient free space for the development of the afore mentioned integral project. At present, the property of the Polyforum is used as a parking lot. The integral project begins by eliminating these cars and relocating them in subterranean parking spaces, and with this, creates a public plaza in which the Polyforum can be appreciated free of obstacles, a new area of recreation for the citizens of Mexico City. On the northern side of this plaza, next to the adjacent property, will rise a slender tower with a footprint of 1,369 sq.mts., that represents only a 15% of the totality of the land. The bottom floors of the tower are public tiers, designed as an area for sitting and resting for visitors, who can enjoy the view of the murals of this northern side of the Polyforum, which presently are partially hidden. Where the new edifice surpasses the height of the Polyforum, it will have a slight cantilever, so as to amplify the area of its base, making it commercially viable. This projecting structure will be covered with glass, and as a result of its inclination, it will reflect the murals of the roof, so as to be seen from the street and the plaza. The cantilever culminates with a sky lobby that will have open public terraces that will create another point of view of the murals. The integral project is a tower of multiple usage with commercial establishments, offices, a hotel and apartments. The architecture of the new building is discreet and low-key, so as not to compete or diminish the importance of the Polyforum Siqueiros. The tower functions as a backdrop that places the Polyforum as the main focal point and enhances it so as to shine as the diamond that it already is.  </image:caption>

      <image:title>Built - Panel Rey Pavilion</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 42 Location: Mexico City Colaborators: Sanzpont &amp; Factor Eficiencia Year: 2013 Expo CIHAC is an annual architecture and construction exhibition that takes place in Mexico City and the biggest in Latin America of its kind. Every year exhibitors have the opportunity to get noticed and call for attention through the design of their stands. Some companies take advantage of it and others not. Panel Rey, the biggest gypsum panel company in Mexico, participated year after year in this exhibition but with the typical boring in-house designed stand. On the other hand, their direct competition, USG, contracted the best Mexican architects to design their stand and where always the pavilion that everybody was talking about. With this in mind, we approached the CEO of Panel Rey and convinced him to confront his competition by commissioning us a pavilion that would push the limits, design-wise, of what could be accomplished with gypsum panels. We partnered with Sanzpont [arquitectura] for this project and together we generated a whimsical and outgoing way to seek attention and leave behind the monotony of the exhibition halls. The pavilion is formed by a number of flat triangles that intersect in space to create an arch framing the central area while a six meters long cantilever protrudes over the top. The outside of the exhibition stand is covered with gypsum panels, the back column and the cantilevered structure are covered with exterior panels (Glass Rey) and the inside frame is covered with cement panels (Permabase). These kinds of exhibitions generate great pollution and environmental contamination when they are dismantled. With this in mind, we proposed a way to reduce the amount of material that ends up in the trash by letting the stand visitors take with them a small piece of the pavilion. The panels have a 10x10cm grid with cutouts that function as product samples to give away. As the exhibition days go by the stand is transformed as the visitors "consume" it. These samples have a QR code on its backside and with a scanner it takes you to the detailed information of the product. People where encouraged to choose which piece they wanted to take with them in order to become lucky winners of an iPad because ten pieces out of thousands had on their reverse side a "You won!" sticker.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Built - Alviento Apartments</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²:  2300 Location:  Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico Type:  Comission Status:  Built Year:  2007 A Spanish development company set itself up in Acapulco in the early nineties to invest in a hotel and condominiums. They closed a deal with a local developer who provided the land, a plot of 6.5 hectares on a mountain top overlooking the bay of Puerto Marques, and started the construction of the infrastructure and the first condominiums. In December of 1994 Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the former president of Mexico, finished his term and his famous “December error” provoked one of the worst financial crises Mexico has ever seen. For the next 10 years the country’s economy suffered a recession. The Spanish group abandoned the development and fled to their native country leaving millions of dollars buried in foundations, roads and structures. In 2004 our client finally resolved the legal dispute and bought out the Spanish part of the business. He contacted us to adapt one of the existing abandoned structures into seven apartment units. The original development was conceived in a baroque Mediterranean style but we convinced him to go for a more “modern” approach. Originally, the structure was designed to house three large apartments. The columns were placed in a 4 x 4 meter grid and culminated with peaked roofs. He gave us carte blanche in the architectural design and decisions, with the only condition that the edifice took full advantage of the astonishing view. The client would live in one of the seven apartments and sell the remaining six. The concept for the building was quite simple: each apartment was conceived as a Miesian box stacked in two separate piles standing side by side. Horizontal forces were then applied in opposite directions to “blend” the two piles and break the axis of symmetry. The boxes were then pushed backwards to create terraces for each apartment. The clients’ apartment was given a double height as a “hierarchic” gesture. Finally, the boxes were opened up frontally in their totality towards the view and perforated with small random windows on their other sides. The finished building was completely unrecognizable after what we called an architectural extreme makeover!</image:caption>

Our second religious commission had a diametrically opposite purpose: to mourn the passing of loved ones. This premise was the main driving force behind the design, the two had to be complete opposites, they were natural antagonists. While the former praised life, the latter grieved death. Through this game of contrasts all the decisions were made: Glass vs. Concrete, Transparency vs. Solidity, Ethereal vs. Heavy, Classical Proportions vs. Apparent Chaos, Vulnerable vs. Indestructible, Ephemeral vs. Lasting Acapulcos hills are made up of huge granite rocks piled on top of each other. In a purely mimetic endeavor, we worked hard to make the chapel look like just another colossal boulder atop the mountain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Built - Fildelfia Corporate Suites</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²:  3700 Location:  Mexico City, Mexico Type:  Comission Status:  Built Year:  2010 Adventures in Dermatecture. What happens when the concept of a project is reduced to a façade in the process of its development? Are purely aesthetic aims valid in architecture? Is façadism something worthwhile? Are we to become architectural dermatologists? A client contacted us to design a hotel for corporate suites in Napoles, a residential neighborhood in Mexico City that has been rapidly converting to office use over the past few years. The plot was located across the street from the convention center of the World Trade Center, by far the busiest office building in the city. The suites were intended to accommodate businesspeople visiting the WTC and the year round expositions. One of the biggest complaints of caffeine-charged traveling businesspeople is that no matter how hard they try to avoid it, their daily lives eventually turn into a boring and tedious routine: wake up at 5:30 am, take a cab to the airport, a Starbucks coffee while waiting at the gate, a tasteless omelet in the plane, a cab to the same forgettable hotel, meeting at 9am, business lunch, afternoon meetings, drinks, back to the hotel, sleep, wake up at 5:30am, catch the flight back… and so on. Their lives seem filled with sameness. This motivated us to create a hotel where every recurring visit would be a completely different experience in an attempt to break their drudging routine. Every suite would have a different floor plan and spatial arrangement. The different shapes were then assembled like a giant Tetris to form a vertical tower. The tower culminates with the last shape left in a cantilever to generate suspense… The assembled shapes were then raised to provide an entrance to the building. To further accentuate the specific character of the suites, each shape was conceived of a different material: wood, metal, volcanic stone, marble, ceramic, limestone, glass… When the construction of the building had begun, the client suddenly changed his mind and decided that from an operational point of view it was too complicated to have 15 different suites. He wanted only two types of suites, the single and the double height. We were shocked. He encouraged us by letting us know his decision was bitter-sweet. The bitter part was losing the original concept and the sweet part was that we could maintain the façade because he really liked it. We had to find a way to adapt the floor plans and reorganize the interiors without sacrificing the façade. In the end, the client got his hotel and we kept our façade.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>m²:  829 Location:  Mexico City, Mexico Type:  Comision Status:  Built Year:  2011 The Polyforum Siqueiros and its Galleries were conceived by the architects Joaquin Alvarez Ordonez, Guillermo Rossel de la Lama and Ramon Mikelajauregui, together with Siqueiros in 1967. These had not been renovatedsince its inauguration in 1971. Our intervention was reduced to removing elements from the galleries rather than a proper design project. We got rid of the original dark blue industrial carpet that covered the floor and stairs and replaced it with a white glossy epoxy finish. The coarse granular texture of the walls was substituted for a smooth white finish. The dropped ceiling concentric rings were removed and only two of the structural rings were left. The original wooden false ceiling, bench and staircases were sanded and varnished. The clear glass dividing the interior from the exterior was covered with a translucent matte coating in order to contain the gallery space andmake the visitor focus on the exhibitions. The only design piece we created is the elliptical reception desk which accentuates the dynamic space of the circular galleries and invites the visitor to proceed towards the exhibition areas.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Built - La Estancia Chapel</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²:  117 Location:  Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico Type:  Comission Status:  Built Year:  2008 La Estancia Wedding Gardens were conceived in a traditional Mexican baroque colonial style. When one of Bunker’s associates decided to marry here it was made known to us that the owners had been toying for some time with the idea of building a chapel in the same style as their gardens, since all previous weddings took place under a light canvas canopy roof. They found very romantic the idea of an architect designing the chapel he would marry in so the commission was granted to us. The client brief was pretty simple: a colonial-style closed-wall masonry chapel that blended with the surrounding architecture. This deeply troubled us…  First of all we did not believe in styles and second, it would be a shame to close the chapel to the surrounding beautiful garden. So we decided to do the complete opposite: an open glass chapel that contrasted with its surroundings. When we finally won the clients over to our design we realized we had a big problem: the wedding was in four months! The site for the chapel was carefully chosen within an enormous area of abundant vegetation. We selected a location that would not require the removal of any of the existing plants or trees, under large jacarandas which form a natural arch over the chapel and provide it with ample shade. We strived to bring about the least possible impact on the site. We believe Tadao Ando’s Chapel of Light is a cornerstone in the conception of modern chapels. Around the time of the commission, Steven Holl’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art had been recently inaugurated and we were deeply impressed by it. We wanted a Tadao Ando meets Steven Holl chapel. A glass chapel in a warm tropical climate seems like a contradiction in terms. How could we avoid it from becoming a GREENHOUSE? (We disapproved of the use of air conditioning given the size of the project and the environmental issues it engenders) The chapel was conceived as a box and compressed to form a peaked roof. Different shapes were traced on its lateral facades to form a prism which was then subtracted from the main volume. We then wrapped the four façades with U-profiled glass. In the altar façade, a cross was subtracted from the glass veil creating a window that looks out onto the surrounding garden. When the chapel was ready to start construction it was three months to the wedding. Time was pressing on… The morning of the wedding day the bride felt the chapel was “too empty” so she called in last-minute florists to fill the “empty space” with flowers. Our pure, abstract and minimalist space finally had its “baroque touch”. Lesson learned: In the end women always get what they want.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Built - Hookah Lounge Satelite</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²:  553 Location:  Mexico City, Mexico Type:  Comission Status:  Built Year:  2010 The design premise behind the Hookah Lounge is a fusion of a traditional Arabic style with a contemporary look. Int the process of developing the construction plans, an acquaintance of our clients convinced them that the style of their new restaurant would not work in Satelite. He argued that this part of the city had always been dominated by a more 70s disco feel. Our clients requested we make these changes. We were quite confused by the outcome but they really loved it. A month before starting construction we were asked to fuse the two styles because they felt the essence of their brand had been diluted and become unrecognizable. The roof Garden of the restaurant has tables between ponds and walls composed of vertical gardens. Umbrellas resemble palm trees to further accentuate the illusion of its urban oasis. The end resultant was a strange and eclectic orgy of visual extravagance.</image:caption>

Almost all cathedrals in colonial cities in Mexico have an esplanade in front for social and religious occasions. In Guzman a street crossed right in front of it so our project intended to recover this public space of social interaction. Given the hot climate and the lack of shade, fountains were embedded in the pavement to refresh during the day and to be a spectacle at night. The design for the pavement was an abstract interpretation of the concentric circles formed on puddles by raindrops.</image:caption>

Located in the city of Cuernavaca in Mexico, it´s conceived for meditation and contemplation. It represents the mid point between our past two religious buildings. The first celebrated life, the second grieved death. This third chapel is the balance between those two opposites, the point of equilibrium. It is accessed by a spiral ramp that descends gently around the pond as it prepares you for meditation. It is a journey to your inner self.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Built - Upcycling Pavilion</image:title>
      <image:caption>m²: 300 Location: Mexico City, Mexico Type: Comission Year: October 2012 Expo CIHAC is the biggest annual architecture and construction exhibition in Latin America. Like many other exhibitions, it creates large-scale contamination due to the excess waste it generates. Almost all the pavilions of the different brands and products related to the architecture and construction industry, end up in the trash. Deeply concerned by this, we approached the exhibition principals with the proposal of creating a low cost - zero waste sustainable pavilion that could set an example for future exhibitions. Inspired by the upcycling movement, that focuses on converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value, we conceived a pavilion made up exclusively of soda crates piled on top of each other. We presented the project to a major soda company, in this case Coca Cola, to get them to sponsor us and lend us the soda crates. Since they found the project very interesting and in tune with their sustainability company programs, they even offered to sponsor the transportation of the crates.</image:caption>
