Cielo Colca Hotel
Jeroboam amador bernal rivera, ximena bernice valentina mejia sotelo, ana maria diaz gonzalez | Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey Campus Toluca
Cielo Colca is a project that not only redefines how people experience hospitality in extreme natural environments but also sets a new standard for sustainability and environmental respect. The hotel's immersive, floating architecture seamlessly blends into the canyon landscape, with half of the structure rooted on the canyon surface for stability and connection to the earth, while the other half extends outward, suspended above the canyon void, offering guests the sensation of "walking on air" and unparalleled panoramic views. Committed to preserving the local ecosystem, Cielo Colca employs eco-friendly practices, including renewable energy and water recycling systems, while also supporting the local community by hiring artisans and workers to promote employment and strengthen the regional economy. This combination of visionary architecture, ecological commitment, and cultural connection makes Cielo Colca a unique jewel in the global hotel landscape.

The H2OLoop
wu yi-chen and prof. li kai-chu | Ming Chi University of Technology
H2Oloop is a shower system design that allows cold water, which would otherwise be wasted while waiting for hot water in the pre-shower phase, to flow to a storage area and wait for the hot water to finish heating before being fused at a constant temperature. The interface also allows users who are not sensitive to temperature to set the temperature of the water, and visualize the current temperature of the water, as well as the current state of the water heating, thus lowering the risk of scald injuries.
