SECURITY
Natural Stone Fence
This wall is composed of natural stone that blends
well in to the landscape. Layers of vegetation around
the wall help create a more inviting atmosphere.
Tall trees with thorns and large leaves provide pro-
tection from outsiders, while restricting sightlines
to the exterior. In conjunction with barbed fencing
the ornamental trees create unique and aesthetically
pleasing security.

SPIRITUAL SPACES
Convent Statue Hall
Although the statue hall of the Convent is open to
the environment, painted white panels are used to re-
strict sightlines to the neighboring city; which works
to focus attention on the relic statues.
Outdoor furniture composed of heavy stone and
concrete requires low maintenance and provides a
place for contemplation that will never be moved.

Glass Louvers at OI
Operable louvers are useful for controlling wind
fows as well as direct light. Utilizing louvers in a
clerestory will allow the user to prevent driving rain
from entering the building.
Water channels on site will allow for the collection
and retention of rain water as well as provide erosion
control around the foundation of the building.

This trellis assembly utilizes corrguated plastic

The trellis structure at Xalteva park is composed of
brick columns and reinforced concrete beams. The
openess of the structure allows the veranera tree to
grow and integrate itself in to the design.

LOCAL TYPOLOGY
Veranda Condition
The porch condition is a common feature of both ru-
ral and urban typologies. The depth of this space will
vary its use as a large gathering space or a quieter
space that can accomodate a few people.
Similar to the organization of Granada, the roof line
of the adjacent class modules with convey a sense
of community when viewed from the surrounding
neighborhoods.

PROGRAMMATIC RELATIONS
Household Courtyard and Water Channel
The threshold between indoor and outdoor could
be mediated by a landscaping feature that controls
water around the perimeter of building, establishing
a clear boundary between the two spaces.
Although tropical wood is expensive and hard to
come by, this basic composition creates an effective
screen wall that still allows airfow through the
space. With proper maintenance, a less expensive
wood could be used.

NOISE BUFFER
Cecropia Angustifolia
Placing smaller trees and plants between class-
rooms provide a buffer for sound transmission while
distinguishing the different classroom spaces and
entrances.
Larger trees provide a visual buffer in addition to
sound buffer. Decorative trees with large canopys
also create a cooler atmoshphere.

Flor de avispa/ Hibiscus
Fast-growing, ornamental fowers growing over
trellises provide shading for outdoor classrooms and
corridors. Creating permeable or impermeable spaces
depending on the layering of the trellises.
Trees with large canopies and height provide shading
and natural comfort zones. Arranged in central or
outlying areas create either gathering spaces or areas
for personal refection.

EROSION CONTROL + DRAINAGE
Volcanic Rock Wall with Vegetation
Used as a retaining wall near arroyos and areas of
erosion volcanic rock with vegetation creates an
aesthetically pleasing way to hold soil in place form-
ing manageable terraced areas for agriculture and
circulation.
Growing plants that help with erosion-control and
soil stability on sloping topography creates natural
erosion controlled areas without the need of terrac-
ing.

Bougainvillea/Veranera
Decorative ornamental fowers planted around circu-

in conjunction with brick, chiltepe, or stone walkways
create more formal pathways.
Using ornamental trees to form entrances and
circulation paths from the community of El Pantanal
into and around the site creates visual boundaries to
control fows of people.
