Docet Institute
The building is located on a main road traffic flow
and in a corner with a secondary road. The project was always looking to give
space to the city in front of the land, which would create a garden of
vehicular access to allow also leaving the children to the door of the building
that would function like a platform. Also taking advantage of the corner of the
land provided the first impression of the building is generated through the
front garden, which hides the built volume that is only seen in parts giving
priority and hierarchy to the existing trees.
The building is placed on the remaining land so
bound to generate a completely private courtyard garden.
The most important in the project was that the land
on which would be built it had a number of mature trees very ancient and where the
land is a part of the city with just a few years of urban development, which
was sought by strategically positioning the building seeking not to throw any
of these trees, to generate an access to the building with these trees in order
to isolate the building access to the street creating a garden access and then
generate a block in an “L” form embracing the inner garden and separating and
defining vehicular access from the garden and playground for children. The
garden is the central part of the project and gives the sensation of being in a
small forest, which is filtering through large windows into the building
creating a constant relationship between internal activities and nature.
The ideology of the Institute is closely linked
with respect for nature and the environment, so the design must comply with
these premises. What was sought was then designed according to the existing
vegetation in order to harmonize with the context, opening big voids to make
contact with trees and green outdoor areas from almost any area of the
building.
The building is designed to be future growth and
expand its capacity of students, the design of the classrooms have the same
dimensions in order to change the use to which they want to give these spaces. There
are also two large multi-functional spaces that can be tailored to various
activities as they evolve in the Institute curriculum.
The building contains a bay of services both on
ground floor and upstairs facilities concentrating and releasing most of the
interior space giving the flexibility to be changing activities on the two
levels.
There is a double height space which is the
multi-purpose hall that is the heart of the building, which has a direct
relationship with the garden and this in turn has direct relationship with the
two floors, on the second floor you have the control of the whole space is
always in order to be able to have direct contact both the director and the
parent in order to monitor the activities undertaken by teachers with children.
An important point in the project was to generate
the inclusion of users in the space, which in different parts of the building
are located windows and transparent surfaces that visually connect the user
with various activities.In every classroom there is a
floor to ceiling window in order to have a relationship between classroom and
classroom and between classroom and outside, promoting safety awareness in
children and that there are perhaps other classrooms with children with varying
age within the building, which promotes coexistence and respect for other
groups, creating a single community. A corridor connects all the classrooms
with the common area of the building. As you walk down this hall you can have
eye contact with students, this for the benefit of both the school principal
and teachers, to parents, as they may see their child performance during their
activities. In the multipurpose room, it creates a living space where you can invite
parents to participate in various activities with their children to make and
hold meetings, meetings and lunches being this space directly related with the
kitchen.
As a principle of sustainability is sought to allow
all adult trees and they generate great benefits to the building providing
shade throughout the day as well as generating a fresh atmosphere and clean
air.
The orientation of the building is very important
as it is oriented so that the inner garden filters natural light into the
spaces.
Due to budget the project theme is built with
simple materials, economic and highly industrialized in the town, seeking to
promote both the local workforce (blacksmithing, carpentry, and industrial
materials) as the production and use of cheap materials. It was decided to make
a structure of steel frame, metal deck slabs and collaborating on concrete and
concrete block walls stopper.
As the exterior finish was implemented a ventilated
façade, using sheets made of corrugated steel and perforated that are placed in
the upper part around the building. This façade is separated from the walls
with a sub-assembly to generate air movement and ventilation between the
coating and the wall and also to provide shade to the wall and protection for
the solar incidence. Avoid heating of the exterior walls is important because
the extreme climate of the city of Monterrey.
To achieve this coating of the facade was found a
small local company that was drilling machinery to produce parts for automotive
and metal industries, mechanical, seeing the potential that these processes of
productions parts for Architecture we decided to make tests with their
equipment for the manufacture of perforated sheets for the coating of the
facade. At the start of the project developers had questions about the use of
this element, however gradually accepted the proposal, which became a topic of
identity in the perception of the building itself.
