INTEREST MANIFESTATION‌
Every project developed during my academic stage reveals the role of architecture oncontemporary cities, focusing on demographic growth and t he lack of public recreation spaces.Now, during my sixth year of studies and approaching the culmination of my academic pursuits, Iunderstand our discipline’s vital role in facing these challenges and the part an architect must takein Chilean society and elsewhere, where both cultural frailty and demographic crisis are alsofound. On these contexts, public space is vital as a medium of social expression and multiculturalmanifestations. Knowing this, I personally know I must delve deeper on t he following topics duringmy next professional stages: Contemporary Cities Nowadays, humanity is living a crucial moment. During 2015, urban city dwellers outnumberedthei r rural counterparts for the first time, generating an important challenge on public spaces,housing and the eternal friction between public and private that must be faced by our discipline. Interdisciplinary challenges Teamwork is fundamental in generating creativity and innovation. A multitude of focal points, ofdifferent experiences, enriches projects. The democratization of architecture With this, I’m referring to an architecture for and by everyone, a discipline that is both inclusiveand integrative, applied to a multitude of education and social levels. This is, perhaps, the answerwe must take to pursue further development as a society. My personal interest lies on the constant search to perfect our cities and make then more f riendly,kinder and healthier, solving the friction between public and private entities via impactful cityprojects that integrate the user with the urban system in a constant flux.

A Multi-Faith space is a phenomenon that arises throughout democratic processes and socialclaims that empower subcultures, ethnic and religious minorities that share urban realities.Thus, places with great ability to convene and remarkable autonomy are taken into account, in anurban context that involves an important number of habitants of multiple ethnicities and religions.

03 The wetland, “Poso de Donato”, is supplied by the Duitama river, that composes and, at the sametime, divides, the place’s urban landscape. During the winter, though, it devastates it.As a solution to this, floods are taken into account, making the river floodable.
Floodable archaeological park
This way the water required to the lagoon is obtained, where a settler for the treatment of the same is located.

In the river bed inflatable rubber locks are installed, which will automatically deflates in case of large floods of the river.

Plaza Chacabuco Sports Centre This proposal plans to improve this Centre by taking advantage of social and morphologicalconditions like its direct relationship with Hipódromo Chile (Chile’s Hippodrome) and thedeterioration of its public space. This can be resolved with an urba n level i ntervention: a park thatextends from the interior of the buildi ng an d ends o n Plaza Chacabuco (Chacab uco Square) as asocial and commercial pole. This plac es the project on an intermed iate that fuses with the newurban landscape.

Proposal The project idea comes from the study of the identified conflicts, eventualities associated to fires, earthquakes, mud slides, diseases related to middens, and also in terms of everyday emergencies like paving issues, fireman dry systems and social spreading spaces. Imitating a lighthouse on the shore, we propose a community device with the objective of becoming a landscape landmark that provides a safer, public and common experience of the place

Landscapen plan specific
La labor en especifico, fue desarrollar un proyecto de paisajismo que beneficiase tanto a la comunidad como a los usuarios del hospital, es por esto que se definieron dos recorridos, uno directo a los accesos del edificio y otro mas orgรกnico para el paseo diario de los pacientes. Por otro lado las especies vegetales, se definieron en consulta con un experto y ubicadas dependiendo las zonas de circulaciรณn y permanencia, generando en ciertas zonas mayor follaje y en otras mayor color y ornamento.
