Teodoro González de León: His works in Guadalajara

At the other end of this mouth on the hill, it would be located An extensive longitudinal hotel that would be reached by cable car. From there, the panoramic view of the jungle and the sea would be appreciated, without ruining the landscape, thanks to its design that would not set aside the modernity of apparent concrete. However, due to the change of government initiated in 1959, No continuity was given to the project that did draw roads and adapt part of the topography, And even build some of the houses, as he embodied in a book that the same Teodoro González edited and published in 1958.

The other project was achieved by the National Housing Institute who collaborated with a workers' union in Guadalajara to do a housing unit to the south of the city. Started in 1957 in a field of 13 hectares, this work considered around 500 single -family homes, a broad market and a primary school.

The design of the houses was quite generous. It is resolved in A single plant with variants of one or two bedrooms, a full bathroom, kitchen, dining roomstudy, washing area and a wide rear patio and garden. In addition, it has open parking at income for a single vehicle, and space for another small garden.

The distribution of houses is not monotonous, but Simulates a light Zigzag by giving more front garden to some houses, but less rear patio and vice versa. But also, the fractionation terrain is not a perfect square; So, in some streets, the houses manage to have even more land that is used to have more garden. There was a great consciousness by Teodoro for providing decent spacesnot limited only to wide dimensions in each house but also with sufficient common areas.
