Architectural Competition Proposal / 13.700m2

Monomo /// http://tab.net.co/founders-memorial-singapore/

The project´s given location determines the need to create a singular building, able to attract the public, generate an effect of remembrance onto Singaporeans population and visitors, and therefore capable of highlighting the values of an entire nation. Based on those given requirements, our project focused on bringing the mountains onto the waterfront setting, uniques mountains from Singaporeans founders originals backgrounds, symbolizing that they came together to create a “New Horizon”, in this case reflecting pride and enjoyment for locals and visitors.

As a result, a New Horizon is developed in the less populated side of the bay, a landscapebuilding composition, composed by 8 hills with strong symbolic values: 5 of the hills represent the five values and ideals of the founders, an additional one symbolizes the national pledge, while the two remaining are conceived to celebrate the rites of entering and leaving.

The composition, based on the idea of an artificial topography defines the building within, while gets expanded onto the site, in order to shape the park and become a lookout of the bay and also of the memorial itself. At the same time, the inside defines through a coherent and linear narrative a path for visitors, allowing them to inhabit singular spaces - pavilions provided, which seek to celebrate the generation of a nation that was born against all odds. ©TAB

From an urban perspective, the proposal envisioned a collective green space for the city. According to local regulations, the maximum site capacity was occupied, which granted a complementing relationship of the built form with the existing vegetation, while solving the majority of spaces with natural light and ventilation. The proposed building was proposed as a formative pavilion where a fluid connection with the surroundings prevails, creating a sequence of outdoor spaces articulated to the surroundings.

In regards to the program, the building was develop in order to achieve two autonomous institutions, while at the same time granting the integration of them. Therefore, the first level was assigned for the Bolivariana Society while the levels above hosted the University areas, including a multipurpose room that’s meant to be shared among the two institutions.

Following a contextual hypothesis for defining a building typology, a few conceptual premises where established: the orthogonal block, the paramented building, the courtyard, the homogeneous height towards the street, the eaves and the sloping roof. This typology allows the Quinta de Bolívar to remain the representative element within the surroundings. In terms of materiality, it was chosen the recover traditional materials such as structural wood, the dominant material in the project, accompanied by clay tiles and glass, as a generic material. ©TAB

More than a building, the project for the Faculty of Sciences was envisioned as an articulating component of the extensive University Campus formulated with several roles:

1_ Highlight the adjoining heritage building, an exceptional building designed by the architect Anibal Moreno.

2_ Replace the unbuilt green area of the University, so that the ratio between student and free area was not diminished.

3_ Consolidate the University’s missing frontage towards the emblematic Seventh Street (carrera Séptima), with a low building and an arboreal garden, topped with a tower of dark tonality, that although seeks to be the background scene of the near and the distant landscape (the mountains) as well as the surrounding buildings.w

4_ Articulate the Campus of the University with a generous “open public” area consisting of paths and squares that act as a ball joint to interconnect the various sectors of the University. ©TAB

Architect Design Leader / Documentation, Coordination y Project Development. Built / 49.600m2

TAB / Alejandro Arango /// http://tab.net.co/los-cobos-medical-center/

Los Cobos Medical Center most relevant design parameters considered were: 1. To give a more human perception onto the hospital spaces, so that it didn’t look like a hospital. 2. To enhance a good life quality for patients, acompanning parties and for medical personnel including students. 3. To promote a highly functional medical environment with high standards. 4. To incentivize internal - external relationships aided with external sights onto areas provided with vegetation.

The design was envisioned with two main elements: a platform with a tower above it, where the first one hosts the hospital facilities, while the second one allocates the hospitalization services. Furthermore, the platform was conceived as an stripped building that generates a rhythmic composition among built up and voided areas, strippes with greenery enhance the apperaence of a lightweight building where the mass got fractured.

In addition, the stripped solution also allows the volumes to be autonomous while at the same time interconnected, situation that enhances the hospital services and its inner functionality. Finally, the stripes increase the access of natural light and exterior connections, onto the otherwise heavy platform; in this manner more spaces got natural light, visual links onto the exterior and natural ventilation. ©TAB

ATRIO is a major mixed-use commercial development in central Bogotá comprising two towers – North and South –with a large, open public space at ground level. At 42 floors (201 metres) and 58 floors (268 metres) high respectively, the towers provide a total of more than 250,000 m² of office space, public services and retail with up to 72,000 people expected to pass through each day.

Together with an additional 10,000 m² of public space, which constitutes two thirds of the whole site area, the development is an important step in the regeneration of the area known as Centro Internacional, bringing new business, tourism, public transport and culture to city’s former business district. Together with an additional 10,000 m² of public space, which constitutes two thirds of the whole site area, the development is an important step in the regeneration of the area known as Centro Internacional, bringing new business, tourism, public transport and culture to city’s former business district.

The project delivery is in two phases, with the first building ATRIO North Tower creating more than 50,000 m² of flexible office space, 4,600 m² of public services and 1,800 m² of retail. Construction of the first phase began in December 2014 with preliminary excavations and was completed in January 2020.

A significant project deliverable is effective knowledge sharing between the international and Colombian firms, and RSHP is working closely with local architectural practice El Equipo de Mazzanti to ensure skills are transferred locally. ©RSH+P

SANTA FÉ DE BOGOTÁ FOUNDATION HOSPITAL

HEALTHCARE ARCHITECTURE El Equipo Mazzanti

2013-2014, Bogotá, Colombia

Architect Design Leader / Documentation, Coordination y Project Development. Built / 38.000m2

El Equipo Mazzanti / Alejandro Arango / Andres Valbuena /// https://www.elequipomazzanti. com/en/proyecto/fsfb-2/

Fundacion Santa Fe de Bogota hospital expansion has been a challenge because more than being a building it has to connect at an urban level, it has to merge with the existent part and project itself for future space requirements.

For its strategic locations between the 9th and 7th avenue it turns to be an urban connector through a plaza and a big corridor adding public space to the city, with a huge vegetation area, green spaces, commercial places, a coffee shop and a multipurpose auditorium that will generate more flows between the pedestrians of the area.

The project begins as a private competition done by the Foundation in 2012.

One of the identities of the medical complex has been the brick and this was one of the competition´s requirements. We look forward for the brick use in the most innovative way and coherent with the Foundation´s principles.

The façade uses the brick in extension and not in compression as we are used to. It uses metallic parts and cables that support the brick as a fabric.

This allows us to have different patterns and textures giving the opportunity to have several natural lighting uses depending on the needs. That is why we can have more natural lighting which helps the patient’s recovery.

The new building more than reorganizing the complex and its uses it connects to the existing buildings. The ICU is projected as near as possible to the operational heart of the complex that is the surgery area.

The building has 12 levels, the first one is connected through a great lobby that opens to the ninth avenue and to the existing buildings, the second one is the tower´s base and a plaza in which the tenth levels cube is supported, in which there is found neonatal, child’s and adult´s ICUs as well as other services like cardiology, gynecology and psychiatry. In the seventh floors there is an auditorium and a medical lounge. In the ninth floor we find the solarium and from this story inpatient’s area.

The solarium is a space that tries to recover the garden hospital concept, in which we look forward for the patient to have contact with the city reducing stress and confinement conditions. As well the solarium allows patients to have contact with nature through protected cubicles or directly to the patio. Light conditions, spatiality and nature have allowed that in the last 6 months as the statistics show a reduction in recovery time, infections and medical complications. ©EEM
