The object of this work is the creation of an Urban Metropolitan Lung in the east Mexico City, in an area of 750 hectares currently occupied by the Benito Juarez International Airport. The land distribution requirements were stipulated at the 17 Arquine architectural competition. The project proposes the creation a large metropolitan park and a new development that includes housing and buildings for the tertiary sector, as well as the required urban services. The first step undertaken was the gathering of information concerning social, economic, environmental, and urban aspects and its consequent analysis on different working scales. This allowed to establish the opportunities that had the area, and which were the needs of both the city and the new inhabitants, as well as the way they could influence the generation of the master plan. The next step was the development of an urban master plan, having as premises to encourage the generation of a less car-dependent urban mobility, a more sustainable management of the water, and the inclusion of the nearby neighborhoods by providing eco-systemic services and the creation of new public spaces for the city. For the architectural design, it was desired to transfer the philosophy of the urban scale to the particular design of a block of the project. On this section, it was planned to construct a group of low-rise high-density buildings that through a strategic mix of uses will allow the creation of a dynamic neighborhood. One of the premises for the architectural design was the creation of units of housing, jobs and trade that were completely comfortable from the thermal and visual points of view, and to take advantage of the climatic characteristics of the city, through the use of natural lighting and ventilation. This required a dynamic analysis of the visual and thermal conditions of the building under various construction technologies, so that it was possible to choose the most appropriate ones to achieve this goal. This, together with various cultural and historic considerations made possible to obtain an architectural proposal for a building, with their respective technological and structural specifications.
Lo scopo di questo lavoro è stato la creazione di un Polmone Metropolitano nel oriente della Città del Messico, in un'area di 750 ettari attualmente occupate dalla aeroporto internazionale Benito Juarez. I requisiti di distribuzione della terra sono stati stipulati al 17 concorso di architettura Arquine. Il progetto propone la realizzazione di un grande parco metropolitano e un nuovo sviluppo urbano che comprende abitazioni e edifici per il settore terziario, nonché i servizi urbani richiesti. Il primo passo intrapreso è stato la raccolta di informazioni riguardanti agli aspetti sociali, economici, ambientali e urbane e la conseguente analisi su diverse scale di lavoro. Questo ha permesso di stabilire le opportunità che aveva l'area, e quale erano le esigenze sia della città che dei nuovi abitanti, così come il modo in cui loro possono influenzare la generazione del master plan. Il passo successivo è stato lo sviluppo di un piano urbanistico, avendo come premesse incoraggiare la generazione di una mobilità urbana meno auto-dipendente, una gestione più sostenibile dell'acqua, l'inclusione dei quartieri vicini fornendo servizi ecosistemici e la creazione di nuovi spazi pubblici. Per la progettazione architettonica, si è voluto trasferire la filosofia della scala urbana al particolare disegno di un blocco del progetto. In questa sezione, si voule costruire un gruppo di edifici bassi ad alta densità che attraverso un mix strategico di usi consentiranno la creazione di un quartiere dinamico. Una delle premesse per la progettazione architettonica è stata la creazione di unità di alloggio, lavoro e commercio che siano completamente confortevole dal punto di vista termico e visivo, e di sfruttare le caratteristiche climatiche della città, attraverso l'uso della luce e la ventilazione naturale. Questo ha richiesto un'analisi dinamica delle condizioni visive e termiche dell'edificio sotto varie tecnologie costruttive, in modo che fosse possibile scegliere i più appropriati. Questo, insieme a varie considerazioni culturali e storiche hanno reso possibile avere una proposta architettonica per un edificio, con le rispettive caratteristiche tecnologiche e strutturali.

Abstract
The object of this work is the creation of an Urban Metropolitan Lung in the east Mexico City, in an area of 750 hectares currently occupied by the Benito Juarez International Airport. The land distribution requirements were stipulated at the 17 Arquine architectural competition. The project proposes the creation a large metropolitan park and a new development that includes housing and buildings for the tertiary sector, as well as the required urban services. The first step undertaken was the gathering of information concerning social, economic, environmental, and urban aspects and its consequent analysis on different working scales. This allowed to establish the opportunities that had the area, and which were the needs of both the city and the new inhabitants, as well as the way they could influence the generation of the master plan. The next step was the development of an urban master plan, having as premises to encourage the generation of a less car-dependent urban mobility, a more sustainable management of the water, and the inclusion of the nearby neighborhoods by providing eco-systemic services and the creation of new public spaces for the city. For the architectural design, it was desired to transfer the philosophy of the urban scale to the particular design of a block of the project. On this section, it was planned to construct a group of low-rise high-density buildings that through a strategic mix of uses will allow the creation of a dynamic neighborhood. One of the premises for the architectural design was the creation of units of housing, jobs and trade that were completely comfortable from the thermal and visual points of view, and to take advantage of the climatic characteristics of the city, through the use of natural lighting and ventilation.
