梅洛索是为了应对2017年9月19日的墨西哥城地震而产生的。它位于圣路易斯-特拉西亚特马尔科镇，是一个源于墨西哥城的小镇，仍然保留着前西班牙时代的遗迹，如在’Chinampas’（漂浮花园）上的种植。
Meloso arose in response to Mexico City’s earthquake on September 19, 2017. Located in the town of San Luis Tlaxialtemalco, it is a town that originated from Mexico City that still preserves vestiges of the pre-Hispanic era such as cultivation on ‘chinampas’ (floating gardens).
这个镇和Xochimilco的总督府是受地震影响最严重的地方之一。政府和一些基金会的重建是对记忆的攻击，是对景观的替换，是用外国建筑取代这个地方，他们在设计中抛开了建筑身份和居民的居住方式，与他们的生产形式和社会网络相联系，这些社会网络通过他们的守护神节日和在天井和烟雾厨房的共存而得到巩固，强加了一个通用的住房模式，没有考虑到其社会文化背景，断裂了赋予人民身份的习俗。
This town and Xochimilco’s governorship, in general, were among the most affected by the earthquake. The reconstruction of the government and some foundations is an attack on the memory, a landscape replacement, a substitution of the place with foreign constructions, they have put aside in their design, architectural identity and its inhabitant’s way of occupying associated with their forms of production and their social network that has been consolidated for decades through their patron saint festivities and coexistence in patios and smoke kitchens, imposing a generic housing model that does not take into account its sociocultural context and fractures the customs that give identity to the people.
家具指的是他们在节日时的坐姿，包括把木板放在一叠隔板上，这也是一种致敬。
The furniture refers to and is a tribute to their way of sitting at festivities, which consists in putting wooden planks on stacks of partitions.
梅洛索的建议产生于这种思考，这就是为什么我们拾起该地的乡土建筑姿态的线索，并在使用宽大的墙壁和泥巴时将其构造提升，这些材料构成了干预空间的原材料，给材料以新的生命，其建筑元素的可能性是使所建的东西具有现代性，但同时也是永恒的。
Meloso’s proposal arises from this reflection, which is why we pick up the thread of the site’s vernacular architecture gestures and take its tectonics up in the use of wide walls and mud that make up the raw material with which the space is intervened, giving new life to the materials and their possibilities of building elements are what make what is built contemporary, but at the same time timeless.
一个寻求安静的地方，并将其设计减少到最基本的东西，有点强迫性的重复使用材料使其成为一个简单的综合体。
A place that seeks silence and reduces its design to the basics, the somewhat obsessive repetitive use of materials makes a synthesis of simplicity.
