Nestlé Lab by Rojkind Arquitectos
It is a lab for Neslte by Rojkind Arquitectos in Queretaro Mexico after their first collaboration for the chocolate museum they got the commission to design a new facility on the city of Querétaro, that includes laboratories, offices, and auditorium and a tasting area.
One of the design constraints came from the fact that the centre of Querétaro was declared as World Heritage by the UNESCO on 1996.
The new building was required to have a portico with arches. Rojkind faced this by re-interpreting both the portico and the arches, by excavating a series of intersected spheres from orthogonal buildings, excavations which repeated conform an open and continuous space.
At first view the result of these complex shapes would have required digital fabrication, but a simple system of semi spherical domes made out of steel arches and rings allowed for an easy construction with local workers.
