women’s house

The main goal for this project is none other than to provide a safe, local space for women to talk and share their values and perspectives, as well as their thoughts and ideas for the community. With the hope that other African communities will take this as inspiration and create their own version of the same atmosphere, I created this layout to give back these immensely strong women the power they deserve.

This proposal was created with the goal of being socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable. It is pre-planned with the intentional, natural elements designed to build connections with nature and their roots, such as soil and wood. The external portion of the walls is built from bags, which are covered in red dirt, giving it the characteristic color and texture of Senegal. The structure is founded by wood such as bamboo as the supporting columns, and rosewood for the beams. The use of concrete is limited to the basement. Another important resource for this project are recycled materials, such as recycled plastic molded to have a wood-like appearance. These plastic wood panels would be used in the enclosure of the divulgation/discussion area, to bring sustainable sophistication. These panels could be produced in the village itself, by the treatment of the plastic around it. This process not only serves for paneling, but it could also be an option for some furniture pieces. To contribute to this welcoming and friendly environment, emblematic fabrics are also used in this project. It is clear to see that the majority of this blueprint is built with local resources, bringing economic benefits for the local community as well as sustainability.

El diseño plantea un edificia con parametros de sostenibilidad para un programa de 39 unidades con un amplio portafolio de tipologías (11 tipos de apartamentos). Para ajustarse a un mercado cambiante, certicarse como un edificio verde, lograr las mejores vistas desde cada unidad, crear un acceso a la playa y generar un aporte urbano para mejorar el entorno.

The project presented here was developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT, the Mayor’s Office of Cartagena, Fundación Social, and Findeter. The project proposes to develop urban and architectural design strategies that are informed by the interactive ecology between humans and nature in order to generate a balance in the processes of urban expansion. The natural evolution of environmental ecosystems and the development of the productive activities of the residents of the neighborhood. This workshop was formed by a group of 8 students from UJTL, 2 of them MIT master’s students. My participation consisted of 2 phases. The first phase consisted of interviews and interaction with the community to map the sector and come up with design ideas. In the second phase: production of study planimetry, sketches, and design sections.

A physical intervention strategy is proposed that strengthen the community’s roots in the territory, live in a healthy coexistence, in harmony with the environment and adequate spaces.

Contexto:

En el año 2018 ocurrió un atentado en “Escuela de Cadetes General Santander”. Atentado que cobra la vida de 23 policías y marco un momento doloroso para la historia colombiana. En honor a aquellos héroes, por medio de un concurso proyectamos un monumento llamado “ventanas a la eternidad” para conmemorar sus vidas. El monumento fue construido y posteriormente inaugurado por el presidente de la republica colombiana en 2019.

Concepto:

En primer se busco cambiar la perspectiva de la zona de intervención a través de un parque lineal, que reivindique la vida. Esto se ve reflejado en la propuesta mediante la vegetación y la manera como esta encuentra su camino en medio de la adversidad y dureza del asfalto. Decidimos que el monumento principal se ubicara al finalizar el parque lineal, a manera de cierre del recorrido, culminando esa etapa que es la vida y abriendo una ventana a Dios. El monumento en si mismo y de manera muy simbólica representa una ventana. Queremos representar la vida y el paso por la institución de cada uno de nuestros héroes, con sus nombres grabados en dicho monumento, el cual refleja a nuestros héroes a través de sus sueños. Sueños que siguen y seguirán vivos a través de todos nosotros. Con esta propuesta queremos rendir un homenaje a los héroes que perdieron su vida en el atentado del pasado 17 de enero en la Escuela de Cadetes General Santander.

El monumento se concibe como una prolongación del parque, que representa a través de su forma ascendente la relación de Dios y el hombre. El monumento parte desde el suelo , el cual representa nuestra Patria. Paulatinamente
