MUSEO NÚCLEO / CDMX

This proposal is developed based on a master plan located in the Historic Center of Mexico City, where the cornerstone is the 'Museum + Technology Center NÚCLEO.' The proposal, situated at the corner of Eje Central and Hidalgo Avenue, arises from the need to revive the northwest part of downtown Mexico City with a place where people can come together to share culture and recreation.

The NÚCLEO museum is an 11-level project with various uses, including a museum, library, computer centers, projection rooms, bookstores, playrooms, and multipurpose rooms for exhibitions or special events. Each level offers 1,200 square meters of space dedicated to education, while incorporating technology relevant to the era.

Although the project proposes more than 13,000 square meters of construction, there is also a large esplanade for pedestrians in the area, to be used for relaxation, transit, or even exhibitions. (2018)

Propuesta elaborada a partir de un plan maestro ubicado en el Centro Histórico de La Ciudad de México donde se propone, como pieza angular, el “Museo + Centro de Tecnología NÚCLEO”. La propuesta ubicada en la esquina de Eje Central y Avenida Hidalgo nace desde la necesidad de revivir la parte noroeste del centro de la CDMX con un lugar donde la gente se pueda juntar a compartir cultura y recreación.

El museo NÚCLEO en un proyecto de 11 niveles donde los usos dentro del mismo son los de museo, biblioteca, centros de computación, salas de proyección, tiendas de libros, ludotecas y salones de usos múltiples para exhibiciones o eventos especiales. Cada nivel cuenta con 1,200m2 de espacios dedicados a la educación, pero con la apreciación a la tecnología correspondiente a la época.

Aunque el proyecto propone más de 13,000m2 de construcción, también se cuenta con una gran explanada para los transeúntes de la zona para ser usada como área de relajación, de paso o incluso de exhibición. (2018)

The Museum & Technology Center is located at the rear of "Palacio de Bellas Artes", aiming to rejuvenate the once-famous entertainment area that has declined over the last 30 years. It's a commitment to preserve our culture and embrace its educational value.

Structural Criteria

Hybrid structure that combines steel beams with reinforced concrete columns in order to deliver a rigid skeleton that complies with the flexibility that the building requires in the center of the city.

The main perspective shows the east and west facades, which align with the "Eje Central" avenue and "Hidalgo" avenue. The total height of the project is intended to respect the scale maintained by downtown buildings.
