#Proyecto publico prim series

It explores the esthetic quality of the building “as found “– and enhances that experience by contrasting it with a contemporary intervention.

#Proyecto publico prim series

The geometric rhythm of the structure is complemented by another series of elements such as the planters that overflow the patios and delimit the new terraces or the light fixtures that highlight the intervention in the city's skyline.Īs an alternative to demolishing historic - but often not registered – buildings in Mexico City, this project shows how valuable structures can be re-used and adapted in an intelligent way when the financing for a full-scale restauration is not (or not yet available). Additionally, textile screens (borrowed from the agricultural industry) are integrated in specific places to mitigate solar incidence. Two different types of polycarbonate were used (translucent and transparent), to filter the sunlight, while allowing to see the sky from the courtyards. Light and industrialized synthetic materials such as the PVC deck, polycarbonate sheets, or the railings made of nylon nets, seek to reduce the weight of the construction and generate a strong contrast with the materiality of the historic building. The triangular roof section is designed asymmetrically so that one side could incorporate a covered circulation. Nature enveloped every aspect of their holy union. The structure consists of 45 lightweight metal trusses, each 1.2 m apart, dividing the weight evenly over the existing construction and accentuating rhythm and perspective along the roof. Constanza and Fernando are truly in love and the story of their union was told in Proyecto Pblico Prim, a once-abandoned mansion transformed in one of the most awe-inspiring places to get married in Mexico City. This historical enclave located in the heart of Mexico City offers a beautiful backdrop for all types of events. Instead of making three independent interventions, we generated one single proposal: a continuous roof structure, measuring more than 50 meters in length, connecting the patios in a straight line, and generating new covered surfaces in between the patios.

In order to prevent the occasional rains to interrupt the activities organized in the courtyards, the owner of the property is required to cover the three existing patios.
