PATIO ALAMEDA

Project idea

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.

Project description

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.

Technical information

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.
