The Project throws on the table 3 postulates that the office has been developing as paradigms on this contemporaneity: A facade with luminic points acting as leds where there was no need for electric power or photo voltaic cells, its illumination is zero energy, each of these devices cost just 1 dollar per 65 years. This is possible utilizing retro reflectors like the ones seen on highways…….in fact, the arrow that is featured on the façade is caused by the car’s light under a holistic conception. The second strategy was to reutilize the formwork used for the building and transforming it into urban infrastructure for terraces or exterior decks, that way the formwork could be stored for a future use in coming projects, that means: the formwork used to cast the building slabs is next working as a deck or exterior floor where the pieces are deployed on the floor and now some of those pieces are reutilized for building construction; they became once again pieces of formwork, projecting the lifespan of the materials and expanding the boundaries of the initial project. Third, the exploration and use of organic materials utilized in a way that goes beyond its classic aesthetic conception. On this specific building, we use “Zacate” (Mexican natural fiber) as a filter to allow natural air circulation, and as part of the garden under the stair. The recollection and transportation of the material was directly negotiated with farmers.
