This is an intensive three-week design workshop (the first week in Querétaro, the second—four days in San Miguel de Allende—and the third, concluding week in Querétaro), held from June 10 to June 28, 2019.

The proposed content covers three fundamental themes:
The course views buildings as bodies, with their parts, components, and materials in harmony.

From this perspective, the course proposes an anatomical operation directed toward understanding their structural core.
