Project: CEC Cultural and Exhibition Center (inspired by Foster, SHP, Chipperfield)
One of Mexico City's greatest lost treasures is located in the second section of Chapultepec, the Cárcamo de Dolores Museum. This site houses one of the most interesting works by engineers Eduardo Molina Arévalo, Guillermo Torres, artist Ariel Guzik, and the great Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.
This place is dedicated to commemorating Lerma's hydraulic system, but the most interesting features are the pieces created by Diego Rivera: the Tlaloc fountain and the mural called "Water, Source of Life," the only underwater mural in the world with more than 200 square meters.
The main objective of the proposal is to reactivate the activity of the space and its surroundings by creating a space dedicated to culture and art exhibitions, where visitors feel immersed in an atmosphere of inclusion, nature, and gratitude. It also aims to create a space integrated into the forest where the Tláloc fountain is located and the Cárcamo Museum can be viewed.
The building is influenced and inspired by elements of Norman Foster's high-tech architecture, as well as the ventilation and lighting facades similar to those of David Chipperfield.
All interior spaces will be organically shaped and designed with glass and steel materials to create a bright, integrated environment.
The interior lighting is inspired by the ribbed vaults of the English Gothic architectural style.

Project: Monte Mor Cultural Center: A floating refuge of culture and well-being.
Inspired by the United Kingdom Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai Expo, the Monte Mor Cultural Center will rise as a submerged sanctuary in the waters of the Capivari River in Brazil. Surrounded by a natural lake, accessible via rural roads or waterways, which expands onto a plain during seasonal flooding, the cultural center will be accessible exclusively by boat, with a floating deck inviting visitors into a tranquil and inviting space.
Built with sustainable and local materials, the design incorporates bamboo into its trellis structure, creating immense intertwined sculptures that echo the façade of Thomas Heatherwick's pavilion. More enclosed areas, such as the auditorium and the Recreation Space/Yoga/Crochet and Pottery Workshops, will feature thatched roofs, complemented by bamboo extensions, forming a provocative and harmonious presence within the natural landscape.
The project will be supported by large precast concrete slabs, ensuring structural strength, while highlighting the use of locally sourced materials and regional craftsmanship.
The Cultural Center will be an invitation to reflection, art, and community, blending seamlessly with the flow of the waters and the rhythm of life in Monte Mor.
The construction is inspired by the region's water reeds, with their fine, raised tips that dare to push the boundaries of their forms. Its lines are an ode to the wild delicacy of the place, as if the architecture were emerging from the earth, reflecting the harmony between context and concept.
