A cross section showing the main structure of the building: echoing the modernist steel frames of the UNAM Campus, as well as the hung investigation glass cubicles, covered by an intricate mesh of vegetation pods.

A diagram showing the intended connections between the modernist Faculty of Architecture building, along with preexisting structures, and the proposed Institute for Architectural Investigation.





The intended vegetational and material palette, using the UNAM Campus' native volcanic landscape flora, which is a protected national park.

Master plan for the Institute for Architectural Investigations. The plan revitalizes preexisting rooftop areas of the UNESCO protected Campus, and reconnects several areas, thus creating constant friction between undergraduate and graduate students, recovering the lost interactions between visitors that the original UNAM Campus design sponsored.
