Kinetica is an industrial design bureau offering custom solutions for non-standard architectural cha Kinetica is based in Santa Catarina, Nuevo Leon.

We have worked with internationally recognized architects and artists such as James Turrell, David Chipperfield, Caruso Torricella, Tatiana Bilbao, Tadao Ando, Wallace Cunningham, Ricardo Legorreta and Agustin Landa. We have 15 years of experience in the field, and are open to new projects and interesting challenges.

The molds for the Skyspace were designed and fabricated in Kinetica’s workshops. Using digital fabrication techniques, our team crafted 21 individual mold pieces to create a concave GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) surface. These molds were then transported from Monterrey to the project site in Culiacán. At the Botanical Garden, they were meticulously assembled on-site to form a continuous surface for the final FRP screen.

The structure consists of hollow steel columns supporting a metallic frame enclosed within a double-curvature FRP shell. The monolithic screen is designed to enhance the immersive experience of light projection conceived by James Turrell.

Our team was tasked with fabricating and installing the core metallic elements of a glass lobby for Saqqara residential tower by Foster and Partners Architects ( ).The lobby combines transparency with structural resilience, featuring intricate steel profiles encased within an elegant, oval glass enclosure.

The lobby’s primary framework consists of precision-engineered metallic columns and beams. These composite structures not only support the architectural form but also ingeniously house essential MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) fittings, including concealed water drainage. Working within tight height constraints, our approach required assembling the rooftop off-site. Complete with integrated lighting, HVAC, and electrical components, the rooftop structure was suspended by scaffolds until the lobby’s columns could be positioned below.

We were commissioned to fabricate and install an auditorium for Ternium’s headquarters, designed by Caruso e Torricella Architetti. The architects were captivated by the raw, industrial look of the metallic surfaces and chose to retain this aesthetic, perfectly mirroring Ternium’s industrial identity throughout the office space.

To achieve this, we employed parametric analysis to redesign the geometry, ensuring the structure fit together seamlessly like a 3D puzzle. The auditorium’s shell was constructed from 3/8” thick steel plates, folded rather than welded, giving the impression of a large origami sculpture. With a height of 4 meters and a diameter of 15 meters, the steel plates were fabricated at our headquarters and then disassembled for transportation to the site, where our installation team reassembled the structure with high precision.

Throwback to one of our old challenges that took us to Monterrey, Mexico, where we were tasked with creating a stunning set of stainless steel lamps for the museum’s plaza.

Each lamp was meticulously crafted from stainless steel tubes with three distinct heights—6m, 9m, and 12m, featuring a specially designed lighting mechanism. The cone-shaped top is polished to perfection, and reflects light downward, creating a beautiful ambiance. This unique design caught the eye not only during installation but also years later, leading to a request for more lamps to illuminate the plaza’s expansion.

At 520 West 28th Street in Chelsea, NYC, a luxury residential project by Zaha Hadid Architects ( ), we were entrusted with the fabrication of an iconic feature wall, that consisted of GFRC panels for the pool wall on the amenities floor. The design, inspired by the fluid ripples of water droplets, features panels measuring 4’ x 10’.

The real challenge came during installation due to the confined space and the precise positioning needed for the 700-pound panels. To overcome this, we designed a specialized trolley for the project. This trolley was engineered to move, rotate, and position each panel with precision, despite the narrow gap of just 1 inch above and below. Our trolley ensured the panels were installed smoothly and safely, demonstrating the importance of custom solutions in complex architectural projects.

Skyspace Encounter is an artistic space conceptualized by James Turrell () for the Botanical Garden in Culiacan (). This project was a journey filled with challenges, collaboration, and art. Beyond the mathematical and logical elements, it was essential to maintain the spiritual purpose of the piece.

Kinetica was commissioned to fabricate and install the main element, which needed to be immaculate and perfectly aligned to create an immersive experience.

At Kinetica, we approach every project with a focus on both the grand scale and the fine details, ensuring that every element, no matter its size, is crafted with precision. For the Terrazas residence by Wallace E. Cunningham, we fabricated the GFRC rooftops and reflective white facade, ensuring seamless integration and durability. At the same time, we meticulously crafted the custom-made onyx bridge, ensuring perfect alignment and incorporating a built-in lighting system to highlight the bridge’s translucence, creating the illusion of it floating.

By maintaining this comprehensive approach—from the largest architectural features to the smallest components—we ensured that every detail of the Terrazas residence met the highest standards of precision, durability, and aesthetic excellence.

Back in 2012, we designed a stunning facade using GFRC with a unique wooden texture. To achieve a realistic finish, we conducted different tests with real wood to fabricate a mold and get the final look of its color and texture. The pieces were meticulously produced at our facilities and installed onsite.

Our approach of constant innovation in manufacturing has led us to develop experiments in form-finding with textiles, inspired by similar principles used by architect Frei Otto, the greatest authority on tensile structures and lightweight membranes.

We conducted an experiment with minimal and subtle surfaces using a textile subjected to stress to create curves by stretching the fabric. For this experiment, we used lycra, placed over a wooden frame and stretched with clips to obtain the desired shape. We then coated the structure with a layer of resin to create the shape of a column.

The projections inside the Al Wasl Plaza Dome are typically part of a long-duration show, to ensure that the projectors can operate at full capacity, each AV Enclosure integrates an air conditioning system. This system includes two fan coil units hung on vibration isolators within the main tray system structure, powered by two condenser units mounted over the work platform and enclosed in an insulated casing. In this setup, each pod generates 130,000 BTU of heat per hour in 40 cubic meters. To manage this significant heat and withstand Dubai's extreme temperatures, 10 tons of refrigeration are necessary for each Pod.

For each project we undertake, we customize the fabrication line for optimal efficiency.
While each of the 42 pods is the same in terms of fabrication, the project requires them to be oriented in different directions to deliver a fully immersive experience. Consequently, each pod has a unique connection to the main trellis structure. Through advanced algorithmic methods, we have reduced the number of connection typologies from 84 to 16.

Our algorithmic analysis exceeds typical fabrication procedures, ensuring the most efficient results for the project while streamlining time and logistics.

Creating a concrete floor to solve the drainage problems of a fountain at UDEM university was a fun exploration of implementing computational methods to solve a real-world issue. We developed a solution using a series of wet perimeters to drain water faster and more efficiently, ensuring optimal drainage and robustness.

Using advanced computational algorithms, we designed a parametric 3D model to explore various forms and determine the correct diameters for efficient drainage. The concrete was designed to support heavy loads, such as vehicles.

Our system consisted of six identical concrete pieces, produced with a durable and flexible mold that can be assembled and disassembled multiple times, ensuring efficiency and sustainability in production.
