The Historic Center of Baruta and its surrounding areas are disconnected, specially in the intersection of Bolívar Street and Sucre Street. CENTRO CULTURAL ABREU is a new El Sistema’s Centre prototype in which culture and art are included as catalytic activities for the evolution of identity. This also represents an opportunity to reconnect all sectors

of Baruta, acting as a meeting space and cultural agora between the spontaneous and planned settlements. CENTRO CULTURAL ABREU has two main buildings: one helds Monseñor Lucas Castillo School activities during the morning, while in the afternoon these spaces will be used as art classroms.

The other building will have the largest spaces in the centre to held musical, dance and plastic arts activities, including an underground auditorium. These buildings will be linked by public space. Finally, CENTRO CULTURAL ABREU will articulate the different scales of the Baruta’s urban fragments.

[ la grieta | fissure ] LA GRIETA consists in a Showroom Pavilion that materializes the new techniques and materials used to create postmodern tectonics nowadays. The project inserts in the campus of Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) by Carlos Raúl Villanueva, who made constant references to Le Corbusier’s work and reinterpreted his style into Venezuela’s tropical context, which resulted in the declaration of UCV as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000. LA GRIETA is located in “Tierra de Nadie“ [ No Man’s Land], a non-place in UCV, between its academic and artistic sites. LA GRIETA lowers the terrain a level in order to generate a public space similar to a fissure, from where the Pavilion emerges and shapes a new meeting place.

[ fábrica de techo | housing factory ] FÁBRICA DE TECHO is located in peripheral areas of Bogotá, in a plot owned by Compensar, a Colombian entity that offers health and economic services to needed families. FÁBRICA DE TECHO is a project of Social Interest Housing, a program that help families that cannot afford an apartment or a house in real state market. The project includes a public space that integrates urban fragments in the sector and promotes cohesion and social interaction.


FÁBRICA DE

ORAAFLEX | Constructive system

TECHO

Metalic truss system, inexpensive, antisismic and sustainable. Allows the building to grow according to the needs of its habitants, in a way similar to a Lego system.

FABRICA DE TECHO is located in Usme, Bogotá, especifically in Bolonia sector. This area consists in a series of spontaneaous settlements, which are next to Entrenubes Park, an important environmental corridor. In the last years, government has been seeking to make urban improvement on this area, one of these consists on the future construction of the Páramo Venue, an important road that will connect several sectors of Usme, but will also result in the relocation of a significant amount of families. FABRICA DE TECHO seeks to give these families a new home, without having to go far away from their original location. The proposal includes potentials of spontaneous settlements in the design of 9 housing buildings, with all kinds of facilities, as well as a complete improvement of the surrouding public space.

SUSTAINABLE AND COMMUNITARIAN CITY is a urban project that seeks to revitalize the Baruta-Sartenejas sector, located in the southeast of Caracas. This project is distributed in 12 sectors, in order to develop further projects in an architectonic scale. In this case, LA LIMONERA MARKET

is part of SUSTAINABLE AND COMMUNITARIAN CITY, especifically located in La Limonera sector. Taking a closer look to LA LIMONERA MARKET reveals that te proposal is based on the idea of the bridge, as an element that gathers and makes place, answering to the needs of the sector in two ways:

removing the fill of La Limonera and reopening the Sartenejas ravine to reactivate the ecological corridor and providing equipment the community lacks and creating public space.


[ sustainable and communitarian city ] The sector Baruta-Sartenejas is located in the southeast of Caracas, which is essentially composed by urban fragments, limits that separate them, and a main road that connect them. project develops urban projects that turn borders into integration places.

[ fragments ] places that only connect through one street to city

“... a space which cannot be defined as relation, or historical, or concerned with identity will be a non-place...” Marc Augé

“...a city should not only be the sum of its buildings; people should have where to sit, to admire things and enjoy the light...” Norman Foster

[ risks ] housing areas in risk of landslides and flooding

“The city is plaza, agora, debate, eloquence... People build their houses to live in them, and found the city to leave home and meet with others who also left theirs“

Hatillalta is an architecture project consisting in a two-family house located in El Hatillo, Caracas, at 1176 masl. The house looks for integrating the two families while also preserving their privacy.

Built in a terrain with percentage of slope over 40%, the development grows inversely, towards the ground, rather

than the sky, adapting to the terrain while also leveraging the topography to favor the views to El Ávila, the huge mountain that rises in the North to shape the valley of Caracas.

Project designed in Minima Design Studio and developed in Revit.


Construction Area Percentage: 60% Footprint Area Percentage: 40%. Lot Area: 1234.84 m2 Maximum Height: 10 m. Max Footprint Area: 493.93 m2 Max. Construction Area: 740.90 m2

The house is divided in two volumes. The vertical offset of 3.20 m elevates House A, while House B goes down, in order to place the construction on the steep topography and to favor the views and privacy in both houses.

The house rests on a parcel that is 69 meters, with a height difference of 31 meters between the highest and the lowest level. It seeks to respect its natural condition through leaning the The northeast facade incorporates the idea of a structure on a system of terraces and trays that ribbon that unites formally different levels of the prevent making large movements of earth and, building.
