“Masea，小麦和玉米 “位于瓦哈卡市历史中心的中心地带，它是一个在危机中产生有意义的产品的需求而诞生的项目，一个想法是通过与家族的世代知识的研究过程，重新解释面包店和瓦哈卡的玉米饼店的地方。
“Masea, wheat and corn” is located in the heart of the Historic Center of the City of Oaxaca, it is a project that was born from the need to generate a meaningful product in the midst of the crisis, an idea is a place that reinterprets the bakery and the Oaxacan tortillería through a research process with the generational knowledge of the family.
Masea是一个尊重过程和提高生产者的项目，这反映在空间的设计和分布上。一个感官之旅通过秩序产生，从进入这个地方向你展示原材料，改造它的磨坊，创造桌子上的面包和粘土梳子的手，成品，以及最后的销售区。物质性来自于概念本身，地板是由典型的瓦哈卡建筑的红砖制成的，现有的墙壁用土和来自厨师奥尔加-卡布雷拉的面包炉的奥利因进行着色，创造出一种黑色，与指代小麦和玉米的天然松木形成对比。用户体验到工作的面团和烤箱的声音，磨坊里新鲜出炉的面包、辣椒或巧克力的气味，梳妆台泥土的触感，以及邀请你从街上进入的视觉效果，产品是主角。
Masea is a project that honors the process and enhances the people who produce it, this is reflected in the design and distribution of the space. A sensory journey is generated through order, from the access to the place that shows you the raw material, the mills that transform it, the hands that create the bread on the tables and the clay comal, the finished product, and finally the sales area. The materiality comes from the concept itself, the floors are made of red brick typical of Oaxacan architecture, the existing walls were pigmented with earth and ollin from the chef Olga Cabrera’s bread ovens creating a black color that contrasts with the natural pine that refers to wheat and corn. The user experiences the sounds of the worked dough and the ovens, the smells of freshly baked bread, chili, or chocolate in the mill, the touch of the clay of the comal, and the visuals that invite you to enter from the street, where the product is the protagonist.
最后，这个项目是以一种有意识的方式进行的，其想法是回答不同的问题，原产地的重要性，生产，事物的意义，研究，当然还有创造一个有意义的企业，是最重要的。Masea告诉我们，具有不同品质的各种元素的集合可以形成非凡的和有代表性的东西，就像 “milpa”。
Finally, this project was carried out in a conscious way and with the idea of answering different questions, the importance of origin, production, the meaning of things, the research, and of course creating a business with meaning, being the most important. Masea teaches us that the set of diverse elements with different qualities can form something extraordinary and representative, like the “milpa”.
