Biophilic design

Biophilic design is a concept that is gaining popularity in the architecture industry due to its numerous benefits. It is all about bringing the outdoors inside and connecting with nature in our built environment. Biophilic design involves incorporating natural elements such as sunlight, greenery, water features, and natural materials into the design of our homes. By doing so, we can achieve a more peaceful, serene, and healthy living environment.

One of the significant benefits of biophilic design is the impact it has on our mental health. Studies have shown that exposure to nature and natural elements can reduce stress, increase pain tolerance, and improve mental health. By incorporating natural elements into our homes, we can create a space that promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety. It is especially important in modern times where people are increasingly spending more time indoors.

Biophilic design can also have a positive impact on physical health. For example, indoor plants can improve air quality by removing toxins and pollutants. Natural light, when used correctly, can help regulate sleep cycles and improve overall well-being.

In addition to the health benefits, biophilic design can also improve productivity, creativity, and concentration. By creating a space that is visually pleasing and calming, we can reduce distractions and increase focus.

There are many ways to incorporate biophilic design into our homes. One popular way is to include large windows that provide views of the outdoors. It creates a connection with nature and provides a sense of peace and tranquility. Another way is to include plants and greenery in the design of our homes. Plants not only improve air quality but also create a sense of calm and relaxation. Water features, such as fountains or aquariums, can also be used to create a peaceful ambiance.

Overall, biophilic design is a concept that offers numerous benefits to our physical and mental health. By incorporating natural elements into our homes, we can create a space that promotes relaxation, productivity, and well-being. So, if you are looking to build a new home or renovate your existing one, consider incorporating biophilic design elements to create a space that is not only beautiful but also good for your health.

ARQUITECTURA ORGÁNICA

ARQUITECTURA ORGÁNICA Por Ivonne Álvarez

La arquitectura orgánica es un término acuñado a la integración entre las construcciones de disfrute humano y el entorno natural. Mediante las formas curvas, los espacios abiertos y la conservación o asignación de áreas verdes es posible unificar o interrelacionar a las edificaciones con el medio ambiente en que se encuentran. 

La concepción espacial es un aspecto indispensable de considerar al crear una armonía con el contexto inmediato ya que la forma, color y habitabilidad de la obra le darán ese toque de naturalidad a la construcción. Con las ideas orgánicas se pretende generar plantas libres y ornamentales y espacios consientes del movimiento y las actividades humanas para facilitar su uso y preservar la funcionalidad. 

Mistiq Villas es un proyecto residencial que une lo mejor de un estilo contemporáneo con la naturaleza y destaca entre sus elementos un elemento de diseño orgánico integrado como la recepción del recinto. El ingreso invita a pasar por el elemento orgánico como recepción y buscó que a su vez fuera funcional. Los diseños de este estilo en la arquitectura representan movimiento, promueven la relación con la naturaleza y la integración de las edificaciones con el entorno. 

Se buscó que, a su vez, creara una bienvenida iluminada, con buena ventilación y elegante, por lo que se eligieron materiales , pasta sobre acabados lisos y madera. Debido a la morfología de esta construcción, se diseñaron los muebles a medida para aprovechar al 100% el espacio. Gracias a su acceso libre es posible ver hacia el interior del lugar desde antes de ingresar, lo que crea una invitación cordial hacia los caminos verdes del complejo. 

El concepto integral del organicismo en la arquitectura busca servir al hombre y trascender de manera escultórica, estética y funcional, fomentando la integración de figuras y elementos que emanen la sensación de versatilidad y movimiento. 

DE CUBIERTA A HITO ESCULTORICO

DE CUBIERTA A HITO ESCULTORICO   Por Ivonne Álvarez

Serén, un proyecto residencial ubicado en Tulum, Quintana Roo, diseñado por Studio Uno, cuenta con un atractivo visual y cautivador en el acceso: una cubierta triangular doble con orificios de la misma forma que protege la cafetería que funge como acceso/recepción del recinto y se vuelve un hito visual al ser un elemento tan llamativo y bello. 

Esta estructura presenta varias ventajas, entre ellas que es ligera, resistente y permite el paso de la luz solar al mismo tiempo de generar sombras. 

Gracias a los orificios de la cubierta es posible ahorrar recursos en su construcción y aligerar el peso ya que no contiene concreto en los triángulos centrales que la conforman. Se trata de una estructura base de concreto que tiene como fin apoyarse de los nodos de conexión y proyectar una sombra eficiente en el espacio que cubre. 

La figura que tiene genera efectos visuales de perfección, simetría y equilibrio. A simple vista la cubierta de Serén aparenta estar desafiando la gravedad al tener los ángulos abiertos hacia arriba, lo que lo hace aún más interesante. En realidad, cuenta con un muro inferior como soporte y muros laterales que delimitan el área.  La cubierta toma inspiración de la obra del arquitecto John Lautner, La Casa Sheats ubicada en Beverly Hills, Los Ángeles, quien adoptó un estilo geométrico futurista que no se había visto antes en espacios abiertos, pues solo había sido utilizada en la galería de arte de la universidad de Yale, una obra del arquitecto Louis I. Kahn en donde construyó un techo de concreto formado por tetraedros. En este tipo de estilos predomina la presencia de triángulos que permiten la entrada de luz y que suelen integrarse muy bien con el entorno natural que les rodea. 

Con el fin de que la climatología no afecta los habitantes, sobre la estructura se coloca un cristal templado que impide el paso de la lluvia y que frena los rayos solares de penetrar directamente desde el interior, pero permitiendo aún la ligereza y el paso de la luz, invitando así a la naturaleza adentrarse en el proyecto.

Xcaret Park

Xcaret Park

Parque Xcaret Xcaret Eco Park Location Kilometer Marker 282 Chetumal-Puerto Juárez Highway, Municipality of Solidaridad, Rivera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Xcaret Park is a privately owned and operated theme park, resort and self-described ecotourism development located in the Rivera Maya, a portion of the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s state of Quintana Roo. It is part of Xcaret Experiencias Group which also owns the Xplor Park, Xel-Ha Park, and Xenses Park; as well as the Xichen, Xenotes, Xavage and Xoximilco tours and activities. It is situated approximately 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Cancún, and 6.5 kilometres (4 mi) south of the nearest large settlement Playa del Carmen along Highway 307. It is named after the nearby archaeological site Xcaret, a settlement constructed by the pre-Columbian Maya some of whose structures lie within the boundaries of the park's 81 hectares (200 acres) of land holdings.

History

The Ecological Park is built in the same area as the archaeological site and has the same name, Xcaret.

The land was originally purchased by a group of Mexican entrepreneurs, led by architect Miguel Quintana Pali. 5 hectares of the land was purchased in 1984.

When he began to clear the land, he started uncovering cenotes, sinkholes formed by collapsed cave ceilings weakened by 3 million years of erosion from underground rivers running through them and flowing into the sea. He saw the potential for tourism and formulated the idea of an Ecological Park open to the public, and soon joined forces with Oscar, Marcos and Carlos Constandse, achieving this goal in December 1990.

At the same time, contact was established with the National Institute of Anthropology and History (Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia) with the objective of rebuilding the remnants of the Mayan pyramids and buildings that were found in the area. The park’s administration subsidized all the operation and the INAH put in charge a team of specialists.

Attractions

The nature-based attractions of the park include a river that goes through the Mayan village, a subterranean concrete sluice in which people can swim and snorkel with a life vest. Near the inlet there are recreational activities at the beach, snorkeling, Sea Trek and Snuba in the nearby reefs, or swimming with dolphins. The park also has a coral reef aquarium turtle nesting site. Next to the inlet there’s an area for manatees. The park also has a bird pavilion, butterfly pavilion, bat cave, orchids and bromeliad greenhouse, an island of jaguars, and a deer shelter, among others.

The cultural attractions include an open church, replica of a Mayan village with real artisans at work, a Mexican cemetery, a museum, an equestrian show, Mesoamerican ball game, an open theater with performances of pre-Hispanic dances, Papantla flying men and the Gran Tlachco (a theater with a capacity of 6000 people) where the Mesoamerican ball game is represented, as well as the meeting of two worlds, the Mayan and the Spanish, and the presentation of several Mexican folklore dances. Other demonstrations of Mexican traditions include Day of the Dead celebration and the "Travesía Sagrada Maya" (Mayan Sacred Crossing), an annual rite when Mayans would cross the sea from Xcaret and Playa del Carmen to Cozumel to pay homage to the lunar goddess Ix Chel. The modern version is a re-creation of this rite done in late May to early June.[6]

The park also has a Temascal and Spa, has 11 restaurants, dressing rooms, souvenirs and handicrafts stores, as well as an adjacent all-inclusive resort hotel.

Performances

Xcaret has different performances throughout the day in different areas of the park. The Charreria show is located outside of La Cocina Restaurant, and which has performances by Charros, Adelitas and a parade of Aztec Horses. The Duration of this show is 20 minutes and it is subject to park operations and seasonal requirements. The Papantla Flyers ritual ceremony is located outside of Xcaret Plus facilities. This show is 25 minutes long and it is shown four times a day. Pre-Hispanic performances take place in The Mayan Village and it is 25 minutes long. The Xcaret México Espectacular show is the biggest show in the park. It is 2 hours long and more than 300 artist perform on this show. This Show is located in the Gran Tlachco Theater and it is the last show of the day.

The Mayan Train is considered one of the most innovative projects, as it will provide connectivity and quality services to national and international users, in addition to stimulating inclusive tourism whose benefits will be distributed throughout the five states that make up Mexico's Mayan Zone. The proposal of 62 tours will contribute to the diversification of the region's tourism product, as it integrates 18 Indigenous Paradises, 28 rural communities, 14 Magical Towns, 46 archaeological sites, and 6 World Heritage Sites, through a comprehensive tourism offer.

As soon as the Mayan Train is put into operation, it will be possible to detonate a segment of great relevance such as Rural Tourism. The Mayan Train through its 1,500 kilometers ( approximately 932 miles) route will connect the states of Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Chiapas, and Tabasco, where it will be possible to visit some of the most iconic sites in terms of Nature Tourism and Cultural Tourism, such as Merida, Cancun, Chetumal, Campeche, and Palenque.

The connectivity of its 19 stations will allow tourists to visit any of the entities of the Mayan Train route, with the opportunity to choose a trip and a stay according to their motivations, such as cultural or nature tourism, or to complement their activities after a business trip. The Mayan Train's route, which can be traveled in any direction, and the 62 tour options of one and up to three nights, will give visitors the chance to experience the Mayan region like never before.

Everything will start at Cancun Airport, the main visitor distribution center for the Mayan Train.

How much will a trip on the Mayan Train cost?

In an interview for El Financiero, the director of the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur), Rogelio Jiménez Pons, mentioned that the cost of a trip for tourists on the Mayan Train will cost 10 times more than that offered to workers in the region. "We want a trip that costs what a worker from Cancun to Playa del Carmen spends, that costs the same, that would be a subsidy, for a tourist between 40 and 50 dollars, an approximate cost," mentioned Jimenez Pons.

According to the official, the cost of a trip for the inhabitants of the southern region of the country will be subsidized by the government. Likewise, the section from Cancun to Playa del Carmen is expected to cost 50 pesos for the local population. According to Jiménez Pons, although the official costs of the trips have not yet been established, tourists will pay between 40 and 50 dollars for the same trip from Cancun to Playa del Carmen: that is, from 800 to 1,000 pesos, since they will be provided with different services such as restaurants.

This is what the Mayan Train will look like

The interiors of the Tren Maya will be at the height of trains like those in Europe, as can be seen in the images presented at a press conference. The National Fund for Tourism Development (Fonatur) presented the winning project. Said project corresponds to the consortium led by Bombardier and Alstom, companies responsible for manufacturing 42 trains at the plant in Ciudad Sahagún, Hidalgo. This consortium won the bidding process mainly due to four factors: the difference in costs concerning the other proposal (890 million pesos), the degree of national integration in the assembly of convoys, the delivery times, and the design of the cars, in addition to the conditions and analysis contained in the bidding process.

The evaluation of the proposals for the tender was carried out with the support of the following companies and organizations: PricewaterhouseCoopers, in economic matters; Deutsche Bahn in systems; Renfe in rolling stock and workshops; Ineco in rolling stock; Mextypsa, in technical aspects; the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), in support; Woodhouse Lorente Ludlow in legal aspects; and the social witness assigned by the Ministry of Public Administration (SFP). Seven companies from six countries showed interest in the process: Alstom from France; Bombardier from Canada; CAF from Spain; CRRC from China; Siemens from Germany; Stadler from Switzerland and Talgo from Spain. Finally, the consortiums led by Bombardier-Alstom and CAF submitted a proposal.

The bidding process began with the dissemination of the draft call for bids (pre-bases) on November 24 of last year, where three clarification meetings were held with interested companies, and 2,912 questions were received and answered during the workshops. Finally, the proposals of two companies were received on May 7 (Bombardier and CAF); on May 26, the decision was announced, stating that Bombardier is the winning company and the contract will be signed on June 9. The winning consortium also includes the companies GAMI Ingeniería and Construcciones Urales.

Mayan train: The winning project, led by Alstom and Bombardier, offered better costs, domestic manufacturing, delivery times, and design.

The head of Fonatur presented the exterior and interior design of each one of the convoys of the Mayan Train proposed by the winning consortium, within which three experiences are contemplated that will allow adapting to each one of the services that the project will provide, such as social transportation (subsidized for local passengers) and short (restaurant) and long stay (stay) tourism.

"You saw three names, they are Mayan names for three types of trains. Everything is inspired by aspects of the region. Here we know that it is very much inspired by the fabrics of the prevailing Mayan culture. There are three types of trains, the standard one with the name Xiinbal which means 'to walk', the restaurant train, which is Janal which in peninsular Maya means 'to eat', and the long-distance train, P'atal, which means 'stay'", he pointed out.

What is the Mayan Train?

The first stone of its construction was laid on December 16, 2018 and the project is expected to be completed in 2024. The train is intended to offer three types of services: mass transport, tourist and commercial. The route includes 17 stations: Palenque, Tenosique, Balancan, Escárcega, San Francisco de Campeche, Mérida, Izamal, Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, Cobá, Cancún, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Bacalar and Calakmul.

As for the route that the train will follow, 95% of the line will pass through existing rights of way. This means that this transport will pass through land that is already conditioned for roads and railways. This infrastructure project will have different construction phases. The first phase consisted of repairing the railway lines that run from Palenque to Valladolid in 2019. The construction of Selva y Caribe II began in 2020.

Building a House in Tulum: Construction Costs

Building your dream home is a decision that no one takes lightly. It requires thought, research, and planning to create the space you imagine for yourself. In this article, we are going to discuss some of the things you need to consider whether you want to build a beachfront house in Tulum, build condo in Tulum or even buy any home of your choice.



Cost of Building a Property in Tulum, Mexico
Mexico is a great place to build your new home. The cost to build a house in Tulum is only 1/3 of what they would elsewhere! That's because there are so many factors that go into determining how much it costs, and not all homes have similar construction. For a basic, three-bedroom house with no closets included, you can get one for about $145,000 (which goes up depending on the desired finishes). This means inexpensive housing is possible here, but you have to know where to look and what to expect from the builder.

On the other hand, if you want to build a beachfront house in Tulum or build a condo in Tulum, the cost will depend on what standard you want it to be and whether or not you choose to have a construction company build the entire property for you. That being said, before deciding where to build your new home, consider its location carefully.

Low Cost of Labour
In Tulum, you can hire a skilled worker for as low as 200-600 pesos to do anything your heart desires. With the average labour cost to build house Tulum so cheap and most affordable in North American, it's no wonder why everyone wants their piece of the pie. It's a perfect time to invest in this part of Mexico, given its popularity and growing economy.



Local Ecology and Low-Density Construction Guidelines

The enchanting town of Tulum has a unique ecosystem that should be respected. To protect the environment, there are limits on ground cover and height in construction with regards to preserving trees. Tulum's Low-density construction guidelines are based on respect for the local ecology. The ground cover limit is 30-50%. This includes trees, grasses, and other plants such as cacti that can grow in this region. Height limits include buildings no taller than 4 floors plus rooftop (under the tree line).

Tulum has a unique ecosystem that should be respected. In order to protect the environment, there are limits on ground cover and height in construction with regards to preserving trees. Due to the classification of land as well as a low-density construction guideline, this town is not only a paradise for adventure seekers but also for real estate investors.

Great quality house with a clean and modern look using cement finish
The rise of bare walls and cement finish has been a trend for some time, but many people are unaware that this is not just an aesthetic choice. It provides low-cost buildings with high design value because it allows designers to use locally sourced materials which translates into a unique look. This is the best way to save money and enjoy one of the most popular materials for finishing a house without high construction cost in Tulum.

Building a Tulum-style home is not only easy, modern, and affordable, but it's also the perfect solution if you're looking to have an open space with minimalistic qualities. The polished concrete floors and little tile usage make this type of design very aesthetically pleasing as well, just what your dream house needs!



The cost of building materials for houses in Tulum is also quite low as cement and steel are abundant in the area. Builders pay only a third of what they would if they had to import them from other states, so it's easy to save money here! This makes construction affordable for practically anyone who is looking to build their dream home.

For example, you can see how much money you can save by building a bare wall house (with cement finish) compared to a traditional wall home. Such cheap building materials will allow you to have the house of your dreams without breaking the bank!
