Incubadora Social ITESM-Bancomer
330, Jardines de La Estancia, León, Mexico
Project Featured on Jan 25, 2016
-Opportunity for social development-
This refurbishment intends to offer a new quality-based,
morphological-exploration for a social entrepreneurship incubator in a
low-income area in León, Guanajuato, México.
The initiative of these social interventions is lead by two main
institutions: Tecnológico de Monterrey (one of the best private universities in
México) and Bancomer (one of the main banks of the country). This projects has
two aims: the first is to provide low income people with the best quality of
higher education, thus, the same received by the students in university classrooms,
just in a virtual way. The second is helping people to develop their own
business, supported by experts.
Having as canvas a prototypical house of the area, but being an
innovative project for the community, the refurbishment intended to make a statement
through an evident translation of the spatial concept to design: an envelope able
to break the typological sequence of the area, still being inviting rather than
aggressive; creating an expressive main façade within an open public space.
As one of the core principles of the studio, sustainability is
approached in this project through solar control strategies and passive
ventilation. For instance, the wooden lattices angle in the south-east façade provides
passive solar heating in winter (solar radiation penetration), and direct solar
radiation protection in summer.
To achieve a complex responsive morphology, several parametric tests
where run in grasshopper, allowing the evaluation of the skin´s performance and
select the best relationship between functioning and aesthetics.
As most studio projects, materials are an honest expression of its
nature. Wood is from local source with a basic treatment to be exposed
outdoors. Many structural elements where recycled from a roof placed in the old
garage area.
The project proves how low budget implementations can offer spatial
quality with innovation.
