AALU GRADUATE FIRST PRIZE: NET-WORKED TERRITORIES, JORGE AYALA

Based on a process of landscape indexing and mapping, Jorge’s project seeks to tackle the real estate sameness, always related to the development of the so called family-resorts that have proliferated along the Mexican Pacific Coast.
The project proposes a network of Landscapes, tropical trees and plantations preventing excessive erosion and polluted water infiltration. Diverse plants and species were assigned to respond to different watershed conditions, creating the infrastructure for agriculture, leisure and controlled tourism development.
The hexagonal prototypes seek to produce an assemblage between two elements of the project:
the water edges and the nature, as a speculation on how 2 natural processes may be able to generate new forms of mutual enhancement. Physical model helped control the territory and to measure the circulation between each of these prototypes.
