Architecture & Construction

Architectural design grounded in ethical values 
without compromising esthetical principles.

Design practice based:

1. Leading role of ethics in promoting responsible and sustainable architecture 

to creatively explore relations between the environment and the available resources. 

2. Bring together a collaborative construction process based in shared objectives, promoting 

quality craftsmanship within economic democracy in a healthy construction development.

3. Use of  traditional constructive systems and green building technologies 

optimizing available resources & minimizing the impact of construction 

into environment. 

4. Recognize the bondage between time of life and working time as 

main purpose for personal realization.

Housing Project in Mexico City, this is my first approach using traditional 

constructive systems from Mexican heritage architecture & technologies. 

Traditional Courtyard as the core space of the house and Bahareque system for the 

double layered ceiling. Basis from analyzing solar trajectory for beneficial energy 

supply and protection from its heat followed by variability calculation and analysis 

and sustainable guidelines: local materials & processes, greenery for improve 

seasonal cooling conditions.

Collaborative work proposal for Ya Muntsi Behña which brings together green building 

technologies & traditional systems. Today the community builds mainly concrete houses 

which results economic and time efficient. This proposal optimizes actual housing 

qualities by involving traditional Maguey construction heritage reducing the impact of 

radiation in the roof, incrementing thermal mass in the building. Rain water supply & 

solar power electricity are guidelines to achieve self-sufficient community living.
