1 RURAL REACTION +Location: VillamarĂa, Caldas , Colombia. +Date: 2014. +Area: 5 Ha. +Author: Diana Barrera S. +Project type: Thesis - undergraduate

The precariousness of the coffee habitat makes the smallholdings unsustainable, forcing the families of young coffee farmers to migrate to the urban centers, putting at risk the conservation of the Coffee Cultural Landscape. ReacciĂłn Rural is a strategy that brings together the most complex problems of a rural area to turn them into intervention opportunities that arise as a response to the current needs of families of young producers in housing deficit. Through a model of cooperative development, the territory, the interfund and the housing become "Plug-ins" that help to establish the integral habitat where local agents continuously manage deep and lasting changes in the rural habitat.

National scale: Colombia

According to the DANE, in the last 50 years the rural population index has gone from 75% to 28%, more than half of the peasants are poor and half are in housing deficit. The abandonment of the field is imminent and with this the regional identity will be lost along with the empirical knowledge and the autochthonous culture.

The coffee crisis is the result of the model of socio-economic development posed after the coffee bonanza based on productivity at any price, increasing social problems and the pollution of resources.

The destructuring of the habitat (smallholding) as a productive unit to replace it with the latifundio increases the rural exodus. If the situation continues like this, the Coffee Cultural Landscape would be at risk of losing its values and disappearing.

THE DEFICIT OF HOUSING AND THE DETERIORATION OF THE COFFEE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE

High Medium Low

It is a problem associated with the generational changeover. There is a significant number of families whose head of household are grandparents due to the tendency of young people to migrate to the cities, displacements associated with the lack of an integral habitat that meets their current needs of young people, both economically and in connection with global dynamics. Also the erroneous ideas about modernity, evidenced in the replacement of indigenous materials by generic, threatens the material heritage one of the main attributes to be declared Cultural Landscape.

They are productive areas of less than 5 Ha, everything

SMALLHOLDING that is produced in them is sold to the cooperatives, they

buy depending on the current price of the market, destabilizing the small producers. Source: Plan de desarrollo 2012-2015 VillamarĂa, Caldas own elaboration

CONCEPT

PLUG-IN HOUSING The PLUG-IN HOUSING is an enclosure designed for the young coffee growers of the 21st century. Taking into account their profile, spaces are configured that involve the traditional with the contemporary through PLUG-INS or complements that innovate in aspects such as the structure, materials and technological elements necessary for the integral development of the family The most representative spaces of the coffee architecture are the basis that defines the character and design of the home, taking into account the qualities of the existing houses in the territory; the social area and the corridor intermingle becoming the center and axis that structure the spaces of the house and communicate it with the parts of the interfund, blurring the inside-outside relationship.

When intervening a context as consolidated in time as Egipto neighborhood, one of the oldest in the city, we focus our attention on recognizing the rules of urban systems and the conditions through which their diversity is managed. What social actors are present?, what others could intervene? What interests are in dispute? What are the social dynamics? What natural interactions exist? Identifying this density of events is an indispensable process to build a diagnosis of the present and a testimony to the future. We have approached the study of the Neighborhood under the notion of landscape. We understand Landscape as a term that encompasses the existence of several realities and situations of social, political, ecological, physical or normative order that coexist in a framework of more or less conflictive relationship. Atlas del Paisaje is in short the first part of an urban investigation that seeks to recognize from a projective perspective the material, technical, social and cultural diversity of Egipto, the mythical working class neighborhood located in the eastern hills of BogotĂĄ. The Altlas is composed of inventories that collect episodes of the daily life of its inhabitants and their interaction with the territory through visions that mix approximations from urbanism, architecture, sociology or ecology presented in different scales and graphic formats.

LOCATION Egipto is a neighborhood located east of Bogotá, at the foot of Cerro Guadalupe. Its name is due to the church of Our Lady of Egypt, distinctive icon of the neighborhood. Its molding speaks of its physical and social character, a fact that is evident in its urban layout and its architectural heritage. It limits the east with the transversal 4 East (San Francisco Rural district), to the north with the street 12 (neighborhood La Concordia), to the west with the Carrera 3 (neighborhood Centro administrativo) and to the south with the street 6 (Belén neighborhood). It is part of the town of La Candelaria. Due to its proximity to the historic center and its existence for more than 400 years, it is recognized as a landmark within the city. Not in vain is it called "The guardian of history" or "The neighborhood that looks at the City scale location

URBAN SINGULARITIES NATURAL CONTINUITIES The neighborhood is delimited by two large green spots, the San Bruno ravine to the north and the Rumichaca ravine to the south. These bodies of water are surrounded by a cluster of vegetation, which gives continuity to the green of the hills within the layout of the site.

URBAN-RURAL TRANSITION Given its condition as a hill, the neighborhood tends to spread on its edges in the green which frames a transition between urban and rural that is evident in the gradual disappearance of full as they approach the two green spots most notorious.

BLOCK MORPHOLOGY Due to the spontaneous layout of the neighborhood, all the blocks are irregular in shape and size. The density of them is determined by the centers of block that make up the internal gaps of the properties that are a constant in all but vary in each of them.

INTERVENCIONES URBANÍSTICAS Y ARQUITECTONICAS 2 Hip-Hop organizations

S.A. Clan is a hip-hop group formed since 2000 by young people from the neighborhood who want to raise awareness about the social problems that they experience daily through rap, they have been consolidating over time since they have managed to unite children and young people around this hip-hop culture. 4 La legión del afecto It is a government initiative that consists of removing young people from crime and ending discrimination against them through programs such as "Skin to Skin" or "The Agape" which promote solidarity and peace among young people and children . 6 San Bruno park It was built in 2008 as an initiative of the youth group of "La legión del afecto". The idea was to be able to have a decent space for recreation and sports for children and young people who live in the sector, the most precarious within the neighborhood, and thus be able to generate a scenario of inclusion. 8 Egipto park It is a pocket park recently restored for its deteriorating state. Among the improvements were the construction of the basketball court, equipment for gymnastics and a mural that was painted by the children of the neighborhood.

1 Externado University

Built in 1998 in the eastern part of the circumvallation, next to the square of the church. The perception against this outside the neighborhood that occupies the lot where formerly were the "donkeys". The main concern facing the university is the surveillance body that they consider aggressive and intruder.

In 1915 the state of deterioration of the old Hermitage was very high, so Father Julio César Beltrán begins with the collection of funds for the construction of the church of Egipto which is completed two years later becoming the icon of the neighborhood for its inhabitants as well as for the rest of the city. 5 Community dining room In 1920, as part of the initiatives of Father Julio César Beltrán, the program "Barriga llena, corazón feliz" was created, which sought to give children one of the three meals of the day. With the passage of time this program was able to collect the community dor that is maintained until today with the name of "The good seed". 7 Fire station Previously it was the neighborhood sports center. By decision of the local mayor of La Candelaria was transformed into the local fire station, depriving the youngest residents of the main space they used for recreation and sports. Now they use the church square as a field with which the cars pass by the circumvallation avenue

Also called "Avenue of the Hills", began to think about the year of 1961 and its construction began in 1981. Its layout was designed to pass through the center of the square of the neighborhood without taking into account the serious consequences that this would have. Its inhabitants consider that this project has had the greatest negative impact since it destroyed the urban and social fabric that had been built for decades, as well as displacing the greater economic activity (the market in the church square) to the limit south of the neighborhood to the market square Rumichaca.

TRADES AND WAYS OF LIFE The working class character of the neighborhood has persisted to the present, so the activities related to construction and maintenance are carried out by the majority of men in the neighborhood, with the exception of some artisans and merchants in small neighborhood stores. Women, for the most part, are engaged in domestic activities both in their homes and in other people's homes. In a smaller proportion some inhabitants are merchants in Rumichaca square or peddlers. As for children, they are students from the school closest to them that they can access for free. These data were provided by the Neighborhood Community Action Board.

POTENTIALS AND PROBLEMS

5 7 4

URBAN-ECONOMIC

• Historical value • The milestones are of great importance for both the inhabitants and the city • The typologies and the architectural details increase their aesthetic value • Colors on the facades and pedestrian streets are visitor attractors • Materials and textures such as adobe and stone • The coverage of basic public services is almost 100% • Traditional construction systems of proven quality in their longevity

6 2

SOCIAL

• Conflicts between gangs make the image of the neighborhood negative • The disarticulation between the most visible actors means that the projects do not reach the expected results • High rates of insecurity (robberies and murders) mean that residents have to migrate to other neighborhoods • Overcrowding in tenants is one of the causes of violence • The undervaluation of youth cultures within the territory • The social stigmatization of the city facing the neighborhood • Half of the mothers at home are teenagers • Rates of violent deaths are alarming. • A high percentage of the population is in working age, ensuring human capital for different projects • Some organizations like S.A. Clan and La Legion, are working to improve the neighborhood • Identity and appropriation is a characteristic deeply rooted in its inhabitants • Collective intelligences show the recursion of those who invent them.

ENVIRONMENTAL

• The proximity to the eastern hills makes it a place where clean air is breathed • The northern and southern limits framed by bodies of water could become neighborhood attractions.

INFRASTRUCTURE

1 Historical character - tourist attraction 2 Circunvalar Av. 3 Organic Layout 4 Zone and neighborhood landmarks 5 NGO's within the neighborhood 6 Closeness to the Eastern Hills 7 Interstices between urban and rural

• It is adjacent to the historic center • It is surrounded by areas that are part of the urban renewal plan such as the triangle of Fenicia, San Victorino and San Bernardo • It is surrounded by a metropolitan road (Circunvalar Av.) that facilitates the arrival and departure of the neighborhood • It has a transitional nature between the urban and the rural, allowing closer contact with nature • Its organic layout responds to the topography where it was implanted.

1 Make flexible private spaces that, starting from a module, can grow over time. 2 Optimize the environmental performance of homes through roofs capable of collecting rainwater and reducing energy expenditure.

3 Create a socio-environmental air strip where, in addition to being a social space for housing, it reinforces the nonexistent green in the inner part of the neighborhood. 4 Offer complementary commercial services in the first floors of the houses to integrate them into the activation circuit of the public space.

1 Facilitate mobility with the conformation of a vehicular road circuit that surrounds the neighborhood and an internal pedestrian route that crosses the middle of the place. 2 Activate the public space through spaces that encourage recreation and leisure. 3 Pedestrianize the central axis with rustic pavements that evoke the artisanal character of the neighborhood complemented by furniture for garbage and light collection. 4

Finish the tour with a viewpoint at the top of the neighborhood that is also conditioned as half cake for events related to the local culture.

Establish an open courtyard that serves as a meeting point and agglomeration of activities

Create a signage that alludes to the touristic character in which he neighborhood wants to be frame. Include the green of the hills and the gorges in the hard parts through an outer ring of native vegetation.

Reforest the streams San Bruno and Manzanares with native species such as Higuerillo, Cucharo, Roda-monte, Montañero, Encenillo, Arrayán, Raque, Mortiño, Carbonero, Helechos, Quiches.

STRATEGIES

1 Establish technical training spaces related to artisanal forging. 2 To create places of sports and recreation for children and young people who do not have adequate spaces for activities of this type. 3 Establish a space for ongoing training for adults who want to finish their primary and secondary education or who want to deepen their knowledge in the area of craftsmanship.

4 Form a Sunday market where craft products made in the neighborhood are offered, complemented with local gastronomy and thus attract a large number of visitors.

Frame an artisan route that passes through the homes of the artisans and thus the visitors can know firsthand the craft and acquire exclusive pieces.

NEIGHBORHOOD KNOCK A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH ARTISAN CHARACTER

ORGANIC MORPHOLOGY

-To give a character to the neighborhood that makes it stand out among other neighborhoods, if it is the crafts of the forge to make all the interventions and activities revolve around it.

-To have an iconic symbol of the neighborhood: the church, the houses, the colors, etc. -To take advantage of the age of the neighborhood to turn it into an important historical place. -To have a varied commercial offer that complements a specialized field, in this case the craftsmanship from the forge.

PRODUCTIVE HOUSING

-Conserve the color palette of the neighborhood, the cobbled streets and the organic layout as they are striking for future visitors and contribute to frame the neighborhood identity. -Define a main street that is recognized by a thematic tour or specific characteristics: pedestrian, art exhibition, music, iconic places, etc.

-Ferias or flea markets that are made on weekends where the products can be displayed to a greater number of people. -Offer in the fairs native products of the neighborhood as the girl, chirrinchi and chopped. -Generate an open square or patio that concentrates activities around services such as restaurants, galleries, souvenir shops, museums, theaters, libraries, etc.

3 FACING THE WATER +Location: Cartagena, Colombia. +Date: 2016. +Area: 543354 m2. +Authors: Diego Bermudez - Diana Barrera S. - Natalia Rodriguez Juan Camilo Ortegรณn. +Project type: Urban renewal/Community architecture

FACING THE WATER is the pilot project for the adaptation of neighborhoods to climate change in Colombia. It is the first prototype that seeks to develop resilient neighborhoods to climatic events such as floods, sea level rise and rising temperatures. The project focuses on converting public space into flood protection infrastructure. Existing open spaces such as canals, streets and sports facilities are redesigned as dams, water retention devices and controlled flood areas, imitating the functioning of the swamp, an ecosystem in which the Boston neighborhood of Cartagena is located. The empowered and trained community is responsible for the development and administration of the project, linking it in the operation, maintenance and productive activities that improve their living conditions and, in turn, the perception of the city.

THE CITY AND THE WATER

The metropolitan area of Cartagena is located on a complex network of water systems such as the CiĂŠnaga de la Virgen, the Cartagena Bay and the Canal del Dique, which constantly permeate the urban area. The southern edge of the marsh is a sector of a low socio-economic level where most of the buildings are self-constructed, resulting in informal neighborhoods settled on the beach of the swamp and its mangrove forests. By invading this beach in a disjointed manner, they were resulting in long blocks and parallel channels that allow the uncontrolled entry and exit of wetland waters. In the case of the CiĂŠnaga, in addition to being invaded, it has been suffering a process of environmental degradation, affecting its flora and fauna and consequently the food security of the surrounding neighborhoods and the city. Of the 268 million cubic meters of water that reaches the marsh each year, 38 million are sewage water without treatment. This also means that at the time of the floods, the population ends up stuck in a toxic mixture of black waters resulting in diseases and deficient habitat conditions.

CANALS: LANDSCAPE INFRASTRUCTURE To adapt the Boston neighborhood to climate change, three fundamental aspects have been taken into account: sea level rise, increased precipitation and the highest maximum temperatures. During the contest and in the further development of the project we noticed that the main problem is currently the scarce hydraulic capacity of the canals. The expansion of these is essential to protect the neighborhood from new floods. This first measure would allow to reorient public spaces in order to serve as infrastructure for flood control, highlighting the natural tides of the swamp and imitating its tidal hydraulic functionality, which would contribute to improving living conditions and would give greater value to a from the poorest areas of the city.

A SWAMP WITH ACTIVE EDGE At the northern end of the Boston neighborhood, along the Perimeter Track, a hard edge will allow the construction of new housing units, a commercial strip in front of the water and a new public center with a museum. Along this new reactivated coastline, the creation of a green zone parallel to the road is envisaged, with an elongated water detention pond connected to the main channels.

BOARDWALK THROUGH THE SWAMP

ROADS THAT DRAIN AND GIVE SHADE In order to provide the Boston neighborhood with a complete drainage system, it is necessary to rethink the design of the road network, its material characteristics and its capacity for natural drainage. In general, these neighborhoods have very little vehicular traffic and do not have public transportation. In that sense, the streets are very narrow and quiet, which allows children to play freely in them.

Profile 1 12 meters

Profile 2 9 meters

As a result, only the main streets are currently paved. It is commonly believed that concrete or asphalt streets denote progress. However, in the workshops organized with the community, soil roads were chosen for the new design, which absorb less heat, slow traffic and are permeable.

Profile 3 6 meters

SQUARES THAT WIT THE NEIGHBORHOOD: PRODUCTIVE CULTURE CENTERS Social barriers and violence are common problems in this area of the city. The solution is to build a series of new bridges over the redesigned canals, which will serve to link communities, reduce barriers, dissolve gangs and create a strong social network.

The proposed bridges can be wider and become high squares, to give more importance to the linking of the communities. Such places are conceived as platforms for social interaction. Each channel will have a wider space and will house a Productive Culture Center.

THE TREES MATTER! It is proposed the use of common species for floor coverings such as "Portulaca oleracea" (Verdolaga) or "Cyperaceae". These are the species present in the flood-prone saline ecosystems in Cartagena.

The centers will be places where the organized communities can obtain professional training, production consultancy, tool rental services, leisure and cultural activities such as board games, outdoor cinema and traveling libraries, as well as support for the maintenance of gardens and technical advice for waste management.

SAN MARTÍN CANAL - 9 A.M.

CEMETERY PARK LA FE +Location: La Calera, Cundinamarca, Colombia. +Date: 2016. +Area: 113666 m2. +Authors: Diego Bermudez - Diana Barrera S. - Antonio BermĂşdezPaola CastaĂąeda. +Project type: Urban design/ Architectural design/ Landscape architecture

CURRENTLY, the idea of death has suffered an eviction of its spiritual meaning and the cemeteries have become, to a certain extent, places of taboo, functional and ceremonial. For the design of this project, it is considered that the contemporary cemetery must turn this sterile idea of death over to become a place of commemoration of life, which attracts constant visits, not only from clients or their families, but also of walkers, tourists, travelers, hikers and even pilgrims. People will see this new space as a monument. It is not that the cemetery has a monument somewhere but that he himself, in its entirety, becomes one. With this objective, we carefully investigated what is monumental and how a place can acquire great symbolic and spiritual value for a society.

THE LANDSCAPE The lot purchased by Capillas LA FE is ideal for a project of this type, where the elements of the landscape are determining factors. A steep terrain, in the valley of the Teusacรก river, facing a great mountain in its form and covered by a magnificent forest reserve, which ensures the conservation of the landscape. The landscape acquires a transcendental importance in the project from two points of view. First, the views become an articulating axis of the design accompanying the symbolic value of the architecture. On the other hand, the terrain itself and its latent nature, become a sculptural, landscape and also symbolic element that must be respected and exalted. This last idea determines the implementation for the project.

THE MONUMENT The funerary complex LA FE must stand out in the region as a new milestone that acquires fame and renown nationally and internationally. The physical space must provoke in people the desire to be there, to cope with the loss of their loved ones and even to commemorate their own life in that place. With this objective it is necessary to propose the design project, rather than as a funerary complex, as a monumental complex. The word monument, from Latin "monumentum" meaning remembrance, refers to an architectural work that manages to acquire a great value for the society that erected it. The oldest and greatest monuments in history have been of funerary character. Ilustration of the monumental element that marks the entrance to the cemetery from the road.

IMPLANTATION To free of intervention as much as possible of the land and give more space to the natural, it is decided to concentrate the architecture to the limit that allows the norm. Three main buildings are proposed, of great size and great symbolic value.

In the upper part of the lot, close to the road and the accesses, the service building is located, which, very efficient in its operation, covers the above to the rite and the funeral rite itself. The chapel, the farewell rooms and the veiling rooms are flexible spaces that, through a technological system of descenders for drawers, are connected with a modern and ideal space for tanatopraxia, laboratories and crematory ovens with their mechanical systems . These specifications are necessary for a funerary project of this magnitude.

The other two parts of the architectural project are made up of the eighteen thousand vaults that are grouped into two separate volumes (and if this is the case, they can be considered in two independent stages of construction), perfectly integrated and articulated with the topography, which guarantee monumental commemorative spaces and scenic routes, both above and below their decks.

THE WATER

The land is part of the Teusacรก river basin and therefore acquires a great ecological responsibility in terms of water and its flow. The design project includes this natural element as the protagonist of the monumentality. It is about making the water perceptible to all the senses again, in order to restore its ancestral symbolic character.

5 ASTRONOMIC HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER +Location: Villa de Leyva, Boyacá, Colombia. +Date: 2017. +Area: 17.990, 86 m2. +Authors: Daniel Bermúdez-Ramón Bermúdez-Diego BermudezDiana Barrera S.-Jaime Barrera-Paula Sopó-Laura Dorado-Juan Camilo Ortegón-Santiago Salazar-David Barbosa. +Project type: Urban design/ Architectural design/ Landscape architecture

THE LOT acquired by CAFAM in Villa de Leyva has a huge potential that must be understood and taken advantage of. The fact of being able to count on 10 hectares to develop a holiday resort in the water basin of the La Laja and Los Indios streams is a unique opportunity. Moreover, in a context as arid as that of Villa de Leyva, this condition well preserved by the project becomes a structuring argument to support the authorities the benefits of building the resort with a clear environmental vocation. It is well known that the desertification of Villa de Leyva is a phenomenon partly produced and accelerated by the influence of man. It is then necessary for the urban and architectural design to act responsibly on this place as we face not a few challenges that must be addressed in a technical and professional manner.

WATER

Two simultaneous strategies. On the one hand, recover the water basin by directing the rainwater of the covers there. On the other hand recycle sewage through natural filters to increase the flow of the stream and keep it active throughout the year. The following table shows the increase in liters / second of the basin.

FOREST RESERVE

The POT emphasizes the recovery of soils, protective forestry measures and slope protection among others. The Project is committed to creating a private forest and water reserve for members to enjoy.

OPEN SPACES

CIRCULATIONS

Compact buildings, access and event squares, minimum proportion of vehicular roads, large wooded areas, network of "clearings" in the forest and sports areas make up the main free spaces.

A large network of circulations is imposed on the road traffic to enjoy the free space in a calm and natural way. 3 differentiated accesses to distribute flows and needs. Two compact and tree-lined parking areas.

6 BINDING TRACE +Location: La Tebaida, QuindĂo, Colombia. +Date: 2018. +Area: 22.648 m2. +Authors: Diego Bermudez - Diana Barrera S. - Santiago Izquierdo Jaime Barrera. +Project type: Urban renewal /Participatory architecture

LA TEBAIDA has the advantage of being able to let the coffee landscape enter the heart of the city, without being part of the UNESCO denomination. By means of mainly pedestrianized or pacified roads, connected to the ravines of the Jaramilla and the Tulia, it is possible to make a natural, pedestrian and tourist circuit that surrounds La Tebaida as a green ring making this a living territory. For this it is necessary to rethink the ecological trails of the streams and promote a connection with diverse public spaces, well designed and attractive. By means of the understanding of the road structure and the full and empty of La Tebaida, a series of urban opportunities for the city are revealed, which will improve the habitability of the territory. The fact of connecting open spaces, through tree-lined roads allows a friendly and attractive city framework. This new system of public space allows La Tebaida to be a new tourist attraction by valuing its existing structure.

To improve the accessibility and circulation of inhabitants and visitors to La Tebaida, it is necessary to pacify the roads next to the squares (13th street, 5th street and 11th street, 9th street and 10th street) and the pedestrianization of the roads that serve as a prelude to spaces of greater importance in the town; race 6 responding to the large number of people who call places like the church and the mayor's office, and career 8 promoting the market place as an essential space for public activity. The circuits of circulation are reorganized to improve the mobility of both public and private transport. The parking areas are relocated to respond to the new mobility scheme that gives priority to the pedestrian.

Following the traces of arborization, uses, agglomeration of people and diverse activities, we propose two public spaces of a different nature, equally important for a city that will reach 40,000 inhabitants in a short time. The Civic Plaza (BolĂvar) and the park (Plaza Nueva), more intimate and more diverse.

La Tebaida has the responsibility of integrating the La Jaramilla and La Tulia streams into its urban fabric, turning them into a tourist attraction that increases their competitiveness and at the same time promotes sustainability and the care of the environment. A circuit of vegetation that emerges from the traces of green, available, public, recreational and contemplative spaces also functions as a water management system that allows regulating the crises that are approaching with climate change. In addition, this new green network allows maintaining a living and healthy territory, improving the quality of life of the inhabitants.

we propose a significant increase in the area for pedestrians with respect to the area destined for motor vehicles. We went from the current 50% to a 90% proposed in the project. This means that of the 10874 m2 with which the Plaza de BolĂvar counts, today 5060 m2 are for cars, in the future it would decrease to 1035 m2 leaving 9839 m2 for pedestrians, new activities, events and increase of tree planting.

It is necessary to rethink the ecological trails of the streams and to rpomover a connection with diverse public spaces, well designed and attractive. By means of the understanding of the road and full structure, a series of urban opportunities for the city are revealed that improve the habitability of the territory. The fact of connecting open spaces, through tree-lined roads allows a friendly and attractive city framework. This new system of public space allows the town to be a new pole of tourist attraction.
