type: private residence extension, landscaping
location: Todos Santos, BCS, Mexico
year: 2013
client: Chris Jaksa
status: in construction
project team: a10studio: Mariano Arias-Diez

We were asked to generate new areas for an existing house with a very restricted budget:
Terrace, exterior living room, exterior dinning area, exercise area/gym, a studio, and a scenic overlook.

To link this requirements we based our proposal in the use of vernacular materials such as local stones, dirt, natural light, water, the sound of waves, the thoughts and memory… The proposal materialize by using only 3 rammed earth walls and 2 latticed walls to define all the required new areas.

We seek for emotion and authenticity in the proposal by the use of traditional and vernacular materials. The physical intimacy of proximity to the earth by the use of site's dirt to build the project walls tries to Reveal the spirituality of the elementary matter and the universality of vernacular materials, supported and expressed through the silence of the forms.

"In a world swamped with digital images, the return to the physical, tactile humility of primary materials becomes a pilgrimage to the essential sources of construction, a path of knowledge that drains the superfluous and elevates through descent."

// Description //

One of the most internationally recognized emblems of Mexico, and particularly of the State of Sinaloa, is its agricultural production. The state of Sinaloa is known as the "granary of Mexico" because it is the producer of a big variety of food. Its efficient fields have become national leaders in their yields. Because the economy of Sinaloa is sustained by its agricultural activities, the project seeks to recognize it and promote it, through a project that displays objects related to branches of technology, history of agriculture and agronomy as well as agricultural ways which sustain the economy of Sinaloa.

Through the creation of the Museum of Agriculture the city goverment tries to allow the public to learn more about the forms of production in the locality, while recognizing both the agricultural practice as such, and those who make possible such a noble activity.

Project Intro:
Through agriculture, man has colonized the territory for centuries, creating irrigation systems and by planting with geometric laws. Has de-naturalized the natural areas through the planting of natural elements; the distance that are planted trees or plants depends on both the size of the crop itself as the collection systems used. Each plantation produces a texture and color over the territory.

Agriculture industrializes, the landscape urbanizes.

In our proposal outside is as important as the inside. There are no objects and an external reality, but a continuum between forms that wrap and un-wrap, that close and open, that focus and serve as a focus. The architecture as this, expanded in reality, in the middle, through the environment, is an extension. The environment in which it appears is a field.

We present 3 key strategies for the development of the project:
_Operative Topographies
_Ecomonumentality
_Active Ecology

The spectacle of nature and city become now comparable.

_OPERATIVE TOPOGRAPHIES:
Based on the topographic analysis of the site, we suggests a strategy of folding, cutting and movement of the territory. Such movements define platforms developed as programmatic scenarios, functional plateaus exacerbating their flexible surface condition, either as slipped and extended surfaces [dynamic soil], or as extruded surfaces [located reliefs]. In both cases it is manipulated landscapes that refer to the nature of vacant spaces, and ultimately, the very definition of landscape as a background, as construction and stage at the same time: landscapes within landscapes.

The ground respond to a willingness to overlap, the reliefs to an interlock.

These topographies form in any case, new geographies on the ground; mineral and vegetal landscapes in which the movements and flows are articulated by a manipulated geography and a generated space.

_ECOMONUMENTALITY:
We are used to think of architecture in function of the place, meaning that it could find the keys with which to tackle the project. There are many ways to anchor to the site. The whole place has gone from being understood as a landscape, whether natural or artificial, and it has ceased to be the neutral ground on which man-made architectural objects stand out, to become the object of primary interest and focus of attention. Thus, changing the point of view, the landscape loses its momentum and becomes an object of possible transformations, both at the architectural level, neighborhood and city-level.

The architecture starts a process of artificial blurring with an obvious interest in incorporating a natural condition, both in terms of composition as constructive (proposed construction system of rammed earth walls, to emphasize the use of existing assets in the site as well as develop strategies for sustainability and passive ecotechniques), in search for environmental sensitivity and a formal complexity that responds precisely to the values of the Culiacan society.

The project seeks to build a complete redefinition of the place, offering primarily the invention of a topography. So with this double movement, from the nature to the project and from the project to nature, we seek to rescue a "ecomonumental” condition.

An architectural proposal characterized by:

- Address both what is between things as things in themselves: public space [a hall, a plaza, a terrace] is therefore the primary object.
- The identification of the variability, the change as a key ingredient of architecture. With emphasis on the design of objects rather than the definition of definitive architectural programs.
- The commitment between scales. The project its determined and affects many areas beyond those granted by reason of mere physical contiguity. A project with translation capability, traveling between scales.
- Understand and feel simultaneously different scales and fields of perception and action.
- Acting on the near, immediate, tactile, and understand at the same time many other receptacles and dimensions that get modified with user actions, it is a flexible work program for the upcoming years.

_ACTIVE ECOLOGY:
To the old nostalgic or pseudobucolic ecology (freezing landscapes, territories and environments) we propose a bold ecology; reclassified to be reformulated. Based not in a fearful and non-intervention purely defensive -resistant- but in a no-tax, projective and rating -(re)promotive- intervention in synergy with the environment and also with new technologies. Not only possibilities but (re)positivist.

We propose:
- An ecology where sustainability means interaction.
- Where Nature is is also artificiality.
- Where the landscape is topography.
- Where energy is information and technology the vehicle to development.
- Where development is recycling and evolution is genetic.
- Where environment is the field.
Where retain involve always intervene.

The selection of vegetal species to exhibit took into account the degree of maintenance as well as the main agricultural products of the state of Sinaloa and the natural species of native vegetation. In this way we have that public space becomes in a same gesture in museum-park-public space. Presenting the exhibiting object in real time with their processes and characteristics of agricultural activity, where the user can directly see how these are conducted and its temporality. Species selection also took into consideration the color palette that these species may have throughout the year generating a "living park" an ever-changing exhibition and intervention which always seem dynamic and not static representation of agricultural processes.</description>

// Description //

We ordered the project requirements through a layered approach of simultaneous and overlapping spaces, applied as a method to maintain independence, fluctuation and evolution of the various elements and components needed. The elevations also have an overlay of different treatment facades that become and get understood as in one.

To break and join at the same time the volume, we required a diagonalization process, this is, a process whereby the continuity of space would travel in its entire section, thanks to this, the interior is understood both as a whole and at various levels, producing a connection between its different levels through voids which run, connect or link, in both sequential and topological way.

The mere application of decks, patios, and voids at various heights, would not necessarily produce this effect if they were not accompanied by a process of conjunction or confluence of several plans in one understandable unit, therefore, through this "volume diagonalization " we lose the feeling of overlapping plants and becomes a unit to be enjoyed as a single place.</description>

// Description //

For this design we tried to organize the project through a dynamic mechanism of discontinuous and variable space configuration. This was sought through sequential moves in which voids and solids slide relative to each other in adjacent spaces, creating a pattern of interconnected and substantially parallel spaces.</description>

// Description //
We got invited by legendary mexican architect Joaquín Alvarez Ordóñez (and by that time president of the Mexican Urbanist Association &#38; Lead Consultant of Urban Planning at Atizapan Municipality), to design a new public sport complex for the Atizapan Municipality in the State of México.

The basic idea surrounding the project was to generate all the needed areas mentioned in the brief, in the most elemental possible way, avoiding construction details and using very simple materials (cement blocks). By re-configurating this main element, we gave different identities to the different kind of buildings that were needed.

We tried to create a dynamic layout that will increase the ability to combine overlapping layers of information in situations likely to encourage greater interchange between different stimuli and actions (sports activities of various kinds), not as merely additive events but as interactive information, designed to influence the global environment of the design proposal.

This strategy will involve more uncertain and undefined situations for being less "pre-figurable", but carries much more unique situations (impure) because of its diversity, and possible combinations that may lead to more pluralistic and unprejudiced spatial solutions generated from the direct relationships between events (sports) and devices (sports facilities).</description>

// Description //

We were invited to produce a proposal that help redefine the physical identity of the Municipality of Naucalpan. This meant to generate a plaza which would "link" the city hall and the courtyard of the Church of San Bartolo. Naucalpan industry grew sharply from the 80's and through the entire decade of the 90's. Lately, this industrial activity has shifted to other areas of both the municipality and the metropolitan area of ​​Mexico City; This forces a reassessment and / or redefinition of Naucalpan's territorial development, this point of view opened us the door to further research on the project.

Certain processes of redefinition and urban development may be referred to nuclear attractors schemes, intended to link evolutionary strategies, in a short, medium and long term. By making a lecture the area we identified several subutilized or abandoned buildings and many other urban elements (streets, lots) that reinforced the idea of ​​generating a much broader strategy to go beyond the development of a square. Evolutionary "nuclear" strategies are based on sequences between discontinuous areas of activity, which interconnect by channels and travel links. We generated a Matrix defined by potential attractors and uses that could function as generators of activity and be part of this sequence of attractors. 

The references provided were the Municipal Building, an abandoned movie theater on the corner of Via Gustavo Baz North and peripheral (to be reused as an Arts and Crafts Factory "FARO"), the space where you would place the New Alameda invited us to design and connects directly to the atrium and the Church of San Bartolo, then a cobbled street with little traffic in the area which contained among others colonial low rise buildings and a vacant lot (which would be reused as an occupational center / urban garden), a square/park already built at the end of the cobbled street, and all the way to the Los Remedios River (which also was proposed to be rescued) and ending at the Pyramid of El Conde, an archaeological site belonging to Naucalpan, forgotten and just a few meters of the "periferico norte" highway. 

Such sequence will form the "Development Strategy" and this are not strictly continuous axis or paths, but interactional circuits, syncopated and intermittent, landscapes intertwined. This effective approach allow us to define basic operative trajectories as a way to define some "horizons of certainty", to the population that lives within the area.

We aim to generate an open public space that generates a triggering loop of activity which help to regenerate this post industrial area.

"Open as not non-conclusive, non-confined
Open as undetermined, "unfinished"
Evolutive, lively, restless and released.
Open as, not-limited and limiting, because is uninhibited and unfettered: casual.
Open because is externalized. Relational. Relaxed and spontaneous.
Open also for dialogue, for non-essential. Open because is alterable, willing to exchange.
The more flexible the more in-disciplined. The more dynamic the more informal, uninhibited and extroverted."

// Description //

"The conventional perception pushes to perceive the materials of architecture and the architecture itself as surfaces and volumes plated -illuminated- by external projections: rays of light.

But what happens when that projection does not come -only- from outside, but from within?
When the materials that are used to create volumes and shapes let the light and act as reflectors, as irradiators, as projectors of interior energy?
When the material quality gives way to another more intangible and evanescent, because of its transparency?"

// Description //
Urban Recycling means accepting that something is over their life cycle and need to start another cycle based on an existing condition. The history and culture of a place is essential as initial data from which to start a new cycle and/or process. Recycling is innovation.

We were awarded as winners of a restricted competition for the re-habilitation of a historical building in one of the most (culturally) vibrant areas of Mexico City, the neighborhood of "La Roma".

In accordance with the existing laws in Mexico City for this kind of historical (valued) buildings there is a collection of "restrictions" one must follow in order to "conservate" the relevance of this buildings, this rather than create "obstacles" opened endless (creative) doors for us to propose solutions which will multiply exponentially the client's (real estate developer) initial investment.

The project is an opportunity to develop new programs regarding hierarchies and reference figures. The project developed new space programs and practices for a new social subject, in short we proposed actions for deploying development tangents. The proposal curdled with multiple use of contemporary techniques within an existing context (of traditional physiognomy) and with a degree of historical and artistic value. We seek to isolate the current regulatory system (conservation laws), and by transforming the original interior heights of the stories we generate free fields resulting in new livable spaces generated by hybridization between culture, historical heritage, production and leisure.

Archaeology traditionally catalogs the remains of the past as "inert matter". We have taken this "inert matter" and reactivate it as a design element and organizer of the new space. The idea is that the same element of inert matter becomes an "urban document" to provide information on the history of the city ordering the genetic traces of the ancient city.

A cultural-leisure-inhabitable-museum architecture.

Another central element in the project is the use of the "void", a courtyard inherent in the spatial configuration of the existing building and protected by the law. As an archaeological interface we propose a partially glazed, perforated floor, which evidences this multilayer city and the nature of its multi-strata.</description>
