btech: a snippet out of my treatise, one of my precedant studys for the school

Precedent: Experience Design 1

Project:  The Culinary Art School by Jorge Gracia of  Gracia Studios

Location: Tijuana, Mexico

 “Gracia Studios designed a culinary arts center in Tijuana that brings the outside in, creating a learning environment students actually want to attend.’-   AnnMarie Martin, writer  for Buildings magazine(

According to  Valeria Peraza, of Architecture News Plus, the building is located on the last phase of a 30-year, three stage development in Tijuana, vacant lots surround the school, which is why the two main volumes face each other, creating a transition space in the form of a courtyard that acts as a centerpiece between the two volumes (Architecture News Plus [s.a]: 1).

Peraza explains that the greater volume of the structure  lined with garapa wood on the upper level and cast on-site concrete beneath, contains the administrative offices, classrooms, library, and the wine cellar. On the second main volume, covered with steel on top, and glass below, the cooking stations, with absolute transparency between them and the plaza, allowing physical and visual interaction among these characters, as well as with the other workshops the architecture and interiors come together to create an environment that will inspire each and every student (Architecture News Plus [s.a]: 1).

"The challenge of The Culinary Art School was to make it more interesting, we wanted to make it so that when you're inside the school, it feels like you're in an area that's already developed. The challenge was to create more of an urban area once you are inside, bringing the outside in." Jorge Gracia, principal of Gracia Studios (Buildings [s.a]:1).
