UW/Nursery & Childrent School LOCATION: ARGENTINA/La Plata TEACHER: Teresa Chiurazzi Located in LA PLATA city, the project was created for the protection of children attending the school. Circulation of cars and people is important. The main idea is to secure from vehicles and people the children’s playground and classes.
SECTION ACROSS PLAYGROUND
The project was designed as a succession of walls that connects the outside with the inside. Classrooms allow free access from the school and an easy way out to the playground for children and teachers. Free movement of childrenwas the main premise of this project. Each classroom is set according to children ages. To favor the children view of the environment was also sought windows were located strategically. A common space for children of any age was implemented for outdoor activities. The institution also has a sports area comprised of a pool, climbing wall, partially covered patio, and outdoor patio. Concrete walls for enclosures allow the inclusion of large windows in the walls for optimum natural illumination. The nursery admission office has a frame glass which provides visibility (through walls and doors) of trees and green spaces.

PLACEMENT PLAN
TYPOLOGY A
LOCATION: ARGENTINA/Totoras TEACHER: Gerardo Caballero Placed in a little town called Totoras, the main idea follows the concept of working “more with less”’. The project develops Social Housing in an internal terrain block. Its particular arrangement allows continuity of houses and also creates an internal park with vehicular and pedestrian circulation. House building materials would be low-cost materials existent in the area. There are two types of houses: one consists of a one-room duplex, and the other has two rooms with a balcony. Each house has a yard and a garage.

UW/More with more LOCATION: ARGENTINA/Buenos Aires TEACHER: Ignacio Dahl Rocha - Bruno Emmer This project is a structural interpretation of city buildings of Buenos Aires combined with French style called “petit hotel”, very common in Argentina in the beginning of 20th century. The project is a sequenced repetition of one unit building developing a shape of an arc placed on the middle of the terrain. Like city buildings, each unit is autonomous. In consequence, the project allows the continuation of the street allowing entrance to pedestrians an vehicles to each unit. All dividing walls are structural. This permits flexibility on the interior distribution. In this same line, all interior divides are thought as mobile and mutable furniture.

IDEA SKETCHS
LOCATION: ABU DHABI/Lulu Island TEACHER: Nicolas Bares-Florencia Shnack-Pablo Savid This project has two objectives: - to rebuilt a master plan to place a new building in relation with the monumental axis of Abu Dhabi, between the end of Lulu Island Park and bay. - to generate a free ground floor to emphasize the connection between the city and the water. The shape of the building is an answer to Abu Dhabi culture: the landscape. Thus, the resulting structure is an abstraction of dunes, and is materialized through three intersected volumes. The organization of the elements follow this main idea, raising major programs, leaving them susceptible to deal with alternative programs, while music venues have their own place within the building.

CONTEXT PLAN
LOCATION: BRASIL/Sao Paulo TEACHER: Angelo Bucci - Ricardo Sargiotti - Gabril Tyszberowicz Situated on the city of Sao Paulo/Brasil, the project devlops the idea of a unique multi-programatic building; education, culture, sport and medical program. Placed in a particular topography, the building attaches to it context, leaves an open ground floor and enphasizes the natural slope of the terrain.
STRUCTURAL WALL
This decision permits to make a peatonal connection in between front and back street. The shape takes form in order to create an easy acces to all programs as the are all independent of each other. Program placement is ordered as a natural path through the building, reinforced by a double structural wall which is also a container of building services and principal circulations that connect all programs.

UW/Master Plan - Transfer Center LOCATION: ARGENTINA/Buenos Aires TEACHER: J. Francisco Liernur - Andres Mariasch - Gabriel Tyszberowicz Final Thesis Project. The project addresses the concept of fluidity applied to the displacement of people. In order to follow the fluidity concept, the placement of the building was chosen in a place of transit difficult for pedestrians. It also presents an atypical topography since it is the harbor of Buenos Aires. It is a problematic vehicular and pedestrian transit area. It is also an historical place with government offices and historical monuments. Plaza de Mayo and Puerto Madero are the main points for pedestrian connection. To order the transportation networks of the area the natural slope is not modified to allow pedestrian movement. It is emphasized as a pedestrian bridge connecting bothn places. Avenues are placed as underpasses.

The Park is a green space that permits pedestrians to cross and find a directionality in the landscape. The Building is located unterneath Plaza Colon and integrates a historical places: Aduana de Taylor (1854-1857) which is buried in that place. The Transfer Center is “camouflaged“with the topography generating lateral openings. The project consist of four levels, two of which are below ground level. The lower level is the ground floor of the old Aduana Taylor, which was remodeled for use. On this floor there is a museum with entrance from higher levels. Upstairs, the area of connectivity develops., bus , subway , and entrance from Puerto Madero. Similarly, at this level a number of locations render several services: paying bills, recreation, walk, stay, leave, meet, etc. As a place of recreation and events, this level has an auditorium for 400 people. It can be divided into two auditoriums to allow simultaneous use of different spaces. The third level is the top green park which contains entrances to the building for visitors. The fourth and final level is the cover project. Cover and floor at a time, it is available as a cross bridge, from north to south and through the park. It allows a panoramic view of the city both to Plaza de Mayo and Puerto Madero to north and south of the city.

UW/MODELS TEACHER: Diego Arraigada LINE MODEL Starting with a curved base-line diagram drawn in a square of 12x12 centimeters, six equal squares were constructed to fill-up a cube. Each side curves were modified so that the edges coincide with the adjacent face. This design permits to re-draw the entire volume of the cube, becoming permeable and ethereal.

VOLUME MODEL Starting with a curved base diagram drawn in a square of 12x12 centimeters, one of the curves was chosen for drawing six different squares. Each square becomes a different level for constructing an entire volume. Each level is 2 cm thick building up to a cube of 12x12x12. This way of constructing a volume allowed developing different spaces for each level and reflecting the same diversity of the base diagram.

PHYSICAL MODEL
UW/MODELS TEACHER: Diego Arraigada TRIANGULATION The goal of the project is to experiment with a topographical setting divided in two by a river. Within this context, the experiment consists of generating a conceptual link between the two sides. To achieve this, the topography itself is the base for the “bridge.” It is rotated vertically. Both, the original and the extracted topography, are then triangulated. Two sides, connected diagonally, are selected and are modified in order to respond to the terrain where it is applied.

UW/MODELS TEACHER: Diego Arraigada RIBS The goal of the project, similarly to the “Triangulation”, is to work with topography of similar characteristics. Unlike the previous project, the “bridge” and the surface were treated with different techniques. To establish the connection, a fraction of the same surface was chosen, rotated 90 degrees, and worked with the ribs. To emphasize the concavity of the surface, the lower area of the longitudinal ribs were freed, leaving only the cross ribs in contact with the original surface.
