Thru this program, Laboratorio de Vivienda was created in Apan, Tlaxcala where 32 of the housing prototypes were built as part of a master plan created by MOS Architects. The purpose of this development was to study the relationship betwee... More

The proposal is part of a Master Plan that includes experimental rural housing prototypes designed by 32 different architectural offices invited to reflect on housing production in rural Mexico. The Master Plan also includes a welcome center designed by MOS Architects. The architectural parti aims to enhance the duality between the Visiting Center and the prototypes central area in a way the proposal ends up completing and strengthening the urban set. The intention of the proposal is to generate a modular and repetitive free-plan building with the principal of creating ideal spatial qualities for the required research activities. The double height spaces allow access to the roof, which we conceive as an outdoor laboratory extension and na... More

un cuarto mas
A housing expansion prototype that aims to add a 16 sqm room, on the roof of social houses that currently have problems of overcrowding, as they originally have only one bedroom.As this is a construction proposed in wood, it seeks to explore this material from its structural aspect, insulation, light, and a logical building system. In addition to it, this prototype opens a research around the potential of this resource to activate a sustainable economy in the country, which with the correct use of its forests and jungles, new local economies can be detonated, as well as schemes that can focus on housing crisis, unemployment, and social marginalization.The wooden structure is designed by a system of structural frames that join with an assemb...
