CMYK PRODUCTIVE + COLLECTIVE HOUSING I ACADEMIC ASSIGNMENT
Role: Designer
Status: Project, Buenos Aires University, 2017
Site: La Boca, Buenos Aires City, Argentina
Author: Joaquín Guastavino
Description:
This project is located in an abandoned factory in the neighborhood of La Boca, where the first industrial units of the City of Buenos Aires were established.
The main idea was to reinvent the concept of production and adapt it to what it means nowadays. Technology has changed our productive processes and this is why the project is defined by this CMYK conveyor belts. This would bring the possibility to adapt it to the concept of a future city connected by this productive belts all around. The factory place would work as a cultural center for the city with exhibition spaces and workshops. Then, the housing buildings were located strategically to have the best sun and ventilation conditions.
The CMYK conveyor belts compound the productive processes in this project by having the workshops and co-working areas inside.

NAUTICAL MUSEUM I ACADEMIC ASSIGNMENT
Role: Designer
Status: Project, Buenos Aires University, 2015
Site: Olivos, Buenos Aires City, Argentina
Author: Joaquín Guastavino
Description:
The nautical museum is located in Olivos, north of the city of Buenos Aires. This neighborhood still preserves its relationship with the river, something that did not flourish in the capital. The museum is located both on land and on the river, highlighting the rupture of the traditional checkerboard grid. This rupture is related to the advance of man over the river, to gain ground for commercialization, as a reflection and critique. The labyrinthine assembly of the two grids generates volumetrically the different promenades of the museum, with a stable exhibition hall and with different temporary exhibitions.

Description:
This idea project is located on a narrow vacant lot in the city of Boise, near the university campus. In order to increase the number of faculty housing units, the use of this vacant lot was proposed, with the formal challenge of the first floor. In connection with the good sunlight from the south, it was decided to form a housing strip that would create a green promenade to walk around the complex and make it part of the campus. In addition, the public route includes not only the ground floor but also the terraces that become part of the park.
