Ciudad Policial

Area: 76,476 m2

Located to the northeast of Mexico City, the site is surrounded by a context dominated by 20th-century institutional architecture.

The design was inspired by Tenochtitlan, one of the most important examples of urbanism, functionality, and connectivity. The Guachimontones, with their stepped conical bases, and Chichen Itza, with its volumetric forms and orientation that create an interesting play of shadows, were also considered.

The design aimed to be sustainable, maximizing natural lighting and ventilation, proposing energy-efficient systems, displacement cooling, and rooftop gardens to purify and filter the air. Additionally, rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse were proposed. Local and low-emission materials, as well as waste recycling, were also suggested.
