20 Heartbeats

The 20 Heartbeats proposal addresses the issues of urban re-densification, the use of the mega-block, as well as the modification of the delegation's cadastre, allowing the application of the four R's - rehabilitate, reuse, recycle and reduce - to transform the built space without modifying its urban image and therefore its identity as a community.

Development

Mappings were carried out on the basis of a regional analysis in order to understand the site in greater depth, identify problems and propose optimal solutions.

- Public space
- Morphology
-Transportation
-Equipment
-Urban fabric
-Population density

Guidelines

The first intervention will take place in the heart of the zone, between Calzada Azcapotzalco-La Villa Avenue and Norte 45 Avenue. Based on this new nucleus, the following guidelines were created, which are applicable to the rest of the Vallejo Industrial Zone.

Structural Analysis

Using satellite images in google earth we analyzed the facade of the existing building, achieving a structural approach of the columns, beams and location of windows, to identify areas of opportunity and preserve most of the structure, to propose a design with a new land use and inclusive.

Vehicular and pedestrian traffic

This isometric shows the vehicular and pedestrian accesses that connect to our center. We decided to design several accesses to generate accessibility, sense of belonging and connectivity with its immediate context
