En el marco del Programa de Mejoramiento Urbano y del Programa Nacional de Reconstrucción, el proyecto de “Unidad Polideportiva”, ubicado en el municipio de Cunduacán, en Tabasco, se suma a la serie de proyectos estratégicos de mejoramiento urbano, rescate de espacios públicos y dotación de infraestructura básica para zonas marginadas, desarrollados en la en la Etapa D.

La Unidad Polideportiva es un espacio conformado por un conjunto de instalaciones deportivas a cubierto y descubierto, destinadas principalmente a la práctica organizada del deporte y a la realización de competencias deportivas; así como el esparcimiento en espacios acondicionados ex profeso para los niños. La unidad está conformada por canchas, gimnasios al aire libre, ciclopistas y juegos infantiles, así como: accesos, administración, servicios, medicina deportiva, cafetería, almacén y mantenimiento, plaza cívica, estacionamiento y áreas verdes y libres.

Within the framework of the Urban Improvement Program and the National Reconstruction Program, the "Construction of Public Market and Maneuver Yard" project, located in the municipality of Cunduacán, in Tabasco, joins the series of strategic urban improvement projects , rescue of public spaces and provision of basic infrastructure for marginalized areas, developed in Stage D.

The public market is an element of the commercial equipment, structured based on the organization of small merchants that provide the final consumer with the retail supply of food products, personal use and household items. As an important part of the commercial distribution chain, it is fundamentally oriented towards satisfying the needs of the population from the middle and lower strata.

The "Manuel Sánchez Marble" market in the city of Cunduacán does not have enough space to locate the current demand for commerce, in addition its surrounding sidewalks and those that adjoin the baseball field are saturated with informal itinerant commerce. The surrounding streets, on the other hand, are often congested because there are not enough bus stops to absorb the flow of public transport in the area. The proposal must provide space for merchants to formalize their work and continue selling in an orderly manner, as well as new vehicular traffic that frees up the streets.

With the project: PCA-27006EP001 "Construction of Public Market and Maneuver Yard" it seeks to provide the population of Cunduacán with new equipment, in which they access food provision services, safely and cleanly. Within the maneuvering yard, it is intended to provide the city with parking and ascent and descent areas that redirect vehicular flows.

The project addresses, among others, the following variables: gender equity and safety, while equal opportunities are considered for the use of the equipment, with the inclusion of spacious, well-lit environments that allow free access for all people to the different services. transportation and access to food and supplies. In addition, the economic benefit is favored from local tourism and commerce, along with complementary services and cultural events that could take place in this sector.

By renewing and expanding the offer of popular commerce, the project favors the integration of the urban population with the inhabitants of the rural sector, with special interest in the indigenous peoples, in renewed spaces within the city.

 Through open and permeable facades, and internal patios that allow the market to be illuminated and ventilated, the architecture of the project responds to the conditions of hot-humid climate with abundant rains in summer, typical of Cunduacán; In addition, using brick from the region, it reactivates the economic activity of the municipality and promotes the use of economical materials with high durability and low maintenance, thus generating the least environmental impact.

Outside, the project integrates and connects with the existing equipment through a large square, which is articulated with the Bus Station, the old market and the Municipal Center. The inclusion of trees and low vegetation in it will provide the Public Market and the Bus Station with green areas and shaded areas that will allow greater public recreational and leisure use among the inhabitants of Cunduacán and will promote a position against climate change favor of environmental conservation.

The 12,400 m2 property is located in the center of the city of Cunduacán, where some of the most important facilities are concentrated. Nearby are the City Hall, the José Eduardo de Cárdenas central park and the Cunduacán General Hospital. The property is located next to the Central Trucking Cunduacán and

Rosendo Taracena Padrón Primary School. Therefore, in its surroundings there are many wholesale and retail stores, supermarkets, shopping malls, bank branches, churches, among others.

The land is an irregular polygon, facing Illustrious Men Street to the east, av. Fidencia Fernández Sastre to the south and Calle Sin Nombre to the north. To the southwest of the property there are residential buildings, while to the north, it adjoins the Cunduacán bus station. The block that is in the opposite corner, to the northeast of the property, contains the "Manuel Sánchez Marble" market, its commercial use will be extended to the property to be renovated, constructing a new building there to locate a second market and relocating the baseball field in the set of the Sports Unit. The project must take into account the boundaries and make use of the street that connects with the existing market and the plaza of the Municipality Center to articulate the interventions within this area.

The Foundation, created in 2010, begins this stage by inaugurating this new space in Jardines del Pedregal for its new project that expands the scope of the Fundación Alumnos following its line of research, thought and education linked to art.

The space shares a collection of more than 300 works by national and international artists such as Damián Ortega, Carl Andrè, Torolab, Dr. Lakra, Brian Eno, Francis Alys, etc. in addition to a good collection of books and spaces for the complete development of an extensive program of activities linked to these spaces.

The implementation of the program and the use of the pre-existing structure were the starting point for the materialization of this project that connects visually with its surroundings through a sequence of patios, to go from being an abandoned industrial structure that offered an irrelevant facade to the property, to become the main body of it.

In the set, tradition and contemporaneity are mixed through the use of materials and light. A floating facade of vitro block welcomes us, a canvas that generates curiosity in the visitor anticipating the exhibition space that uses this facade to attenuate and standardize natural light and thus optimize the viewing experience of the works. A volume that was originally a façade that seemed to mark the end of the property is now considered the center of the program.

Access to the main volume and its connections with the previous program are made from concrete elements with an apparent finish that are integrated into the new patios, delimiting and framing these reception areas.

By leaving the volume under the open exhibition space, it is possible to centralize the services of the program in addition to generating an optimal area for its multiple use as a workshop, projection room or exhibition hall. This volume filters the circulations orienting the user to the end of the property in which, like an oasis, a patio was planned for which it was necessary to dispense with the last wrought slab, reducing the collection space. This gesture, in addition to allowing light to enter through the back of the gallery, creates another open exhibition space.

Water and stone are the guiding elements of this relief, a patio in which volcanic stone, water, seems to sprout, and in contrast, a piece by the plastic artist Pedro Reyes is located as an auction. Volcanic stone is the natural stratum of this area of ??the City, so it was decided to conserve it in part naturally, spontaneously as it was found, and in part by carving some pieces to place them again thanks to the dedicated hands of artisans. Mexicans, who like a mosaic squared each piece to level the pavement. The control of lights and shadows runs through the entire intervention, through a studied use of materials that, although they seek the roots of the stony ground, generate spaces that in any case appear dynamic and fresh. A perfect balance.

The exhibition space, as the main piece of the program, overwhelms with its content and the spectacular nature of its simple presentation. Indirect lighting ensures the conservation and perfect visualization of the works during the day, while at night, an indirect lighting system is hidden on the rails of the metal racks that store the collection, allowing its use. This storage system for the works is conceived as one more architectural element, metal racks that can slide throughout the space and that in their movement allow different configurations on which to propose the museography.

The orientation of the pieces and location of the racks, is also conditioned by the study of light, a free bay to the west, separates the works from the façade, which seems to be a gesture to leave an area of ??use for educational activities. and use of the activities programmed by the Institute, is a way that the light does not directly affect the pieces. In this setback area to the west of the nave, the service furniture was also selected in such a way as to show the character of the place; the chairs by the designer Oscar Hagerman reflect the character and respect for the materiality of the place, a precept with which Estudio FI designs the rest of the specific furniture for use in workshops and organization.

The project is the expansion and remodeling of an old educational campus.

Located south of CDMX, we reused an east-west building and preserved it as a classroom building.

We built two new volumes, one to the south and one to the north, forming a central patio, which is at the same time the cover slab of a new parking lot.

The connection of these new buildings, which house the cafeteria, library and services, is through a long distribution corridor built with a metal structure. Thus, the original masonry building and the new bodies built in concrete are connected by a third and final material.

We seek to build a school complex in dialogue with its context, reusing existing buildings and hoping to enjoy the central courtyard as the heart of the Center for Higher Studies.
