PATIO ALAMEDA

Idea projektu

Patio Alameda is a space that takes up the typical element of Mexican architecture; the patio. The project constitutes a reinterpretation of the centralized patio to generate a semi-private space, surrounded by a structure of reed and bamboo, with a mostly vertical arrangement, resulting in the decomposition of galleries and sheds of traditional Mexican patios that are formed by beams, columns, or retching.

Popis projektu

Like the traditional patio, the pavilion is a space for rest and recreation, creating an atmosphere that interacts with the city but seeks to abstract from it. Patio Alameda seeks to cause intrigue and curiosity in the user through the permeability generated by the arrangement of the vertical elements of the project, inviting the user to explore and discover the project from any point.of the road or the Alameda, always creating a new experience.

Technické informace

The materiality is intended to show that, with the materials of Mexican vernacular architecture such as the reed, it is possible to create structures that, in addition to being sustainable, can be innovative without losing their folkloric essence. Here is proposed a scheme of suspended platforms of bamboo that collect de vertical reeds that shape de pavilion, which are tied up to the structure. The main posts are articulated by a metal connection with solid blocks.

PATIO ALAMEDA

Overall, the project is very well managed, paying attention to sustainability and the use of local materials should be a matter of course nowadays. The search for a new form for traditional Mexican patios is also done very atractivelly. What I miss is the floor plan in the context of the city, a site of a larger scale that would also capture urban relations and thus say more about the positioning of the object. This is followed by a question about the tree in the central location of your pavilion. Wouldn't it be better to use one of the already probably existing trees in the area, which offers a larger crown and thus a larger shade? Such questions would not arise if you had attached a situation in which the position of the building in the urban environment is visible, or a scheme, sketch, with some notes, which would tell us more about the environment. To sum it up I would like to see, why is it placed, where it is placed, otherwise really nice job.
