A community commercial center for city of Monterrey, Mexico

This project deals to design of a commercial center which is situated in most popular and commercial areas of the city Monterrey, N.L, México. The project is an extension of the commercial center “Paseo Tec” (Hotel, conventions center, Retail Area, parking space, and a direct entrance to ITESM University) which is positioned in front of the site. The idea was to design commercial center in one way similar to the existent one but at the same time making some difference in the way that it has been planned, taking care of the urban part and also making it somehow more sustainable. So, in order to meet the requirements, in the urban design part, we proposed some proposal of bike network and developed the avenue beside of the site. In addition, we improved some key points to reach better and more integrated green public spaces by green corridor. Lastly, the master plan is suggested. On the other hand, the architectural design of the project is consisting of three major parts, i.e. design of the hotel, retail and office area. Also, an area of a big underground parking space has been created. Furthermore, the utilizing of sustainable material and techniques and also using natural light and ventilation have been applied.
