Layering:  outside in
Xochimilco, Mexico City
A representation  Landscape Picture sketch etching, photograph map,Scenery of layering through the building with distinguishing characteristics, both natural and man made. The act of shaping the landscape to make it more attractive and useful through the superimposition of levels that provides multiple layers of knowledge and information. The project integrates the landscape by layering from the outside in. This is applied as a  method to maintain independence, fluctuation and the evolution of known facts and components. In plan, the layers also apply to the elevations – the product of superimposing various facades within a whole

Artist Statement
Architecture is conditioned by objectivity, by rules, laws; this to explain the order of Urban Planning that is mixed in with the visual language of nature, of transformation, of topography, of climate, of society, of culture, of economy, of politics, of landscape, of planting and laying out; reflected in space and in time. It can be seen as a compendium that takes in architecture, urban planning and environment, made up of communities with a mixture of urban construction and living beings.

Matter, materials, the combination of elements, structure, foundations, installations and everything we call architecture, as well as infrastructure in its geographical exploitation by human evolution, technology and the crowding together of millions and millions of people, turns architecture into a global paradigm. All of this is a way of understanding architecture in its widest sense.
