Mario Cardenas - Architecture Portfolio

Block proposal
The new block proposal is born out of the new to increase green and
open areas, as well to reduce vehicle traffic presence in the city and
make it home for a pedestrian. A module made up by for blocks is
created and become a super block, in it the inner roads once made
for cars become pedestrian making the experience of walking trough
it friendlier.
Three different configurations were made.
L: Frees a corner to the people creating a small square or park that
welcomes people to its interior.
Square: Creates an inner courtyard for private use reducing the need
to move to another area.
U: Creates an open inner courtyard by opening one end to become
an extension of a public area, usually allocated in proximity of the
river or linear park that crosses the city from north to south.
In addition to the Master Plan for connectivity for Monterrey Metropolitan
Area and Urban planning for Escobedo, two building were
developed, which showcased further in the document.
