Competition: SECOND PLACE Urban Design and landscape proposal Lima, Peru. 2014. Team: Carlos Navarro, Marius Ege

1. Enhancement of cultural heritage of Inca Wall at PUCP campus

The PUCP campus preserves an Inca wall that was part of a road system in the past. The objective was to propose a masterplan and interventions for the university expansion according to a respectful growing to this monument. We provided a masterplan in which students can discover the monument trough diverse public spaces; the regulations proposed for future building were according to this. In addition, we proposed to show the monument to the city by breaking the campus fence and creating a new entrance with a plaza, so the monument would be a new face for the campus. We also proposed some bridges to connect both side of the campus that are separated for the monument. These bridges pretended to not interfere to the monument landscape. In the same way we designed a dynamic urban furniture, which is buried. Finally, because Lima is in a desert (with too humidity); the management of water is crucial; therefore, we proposed a system for recycling wastewater based on constructed wetlands that are used for maintaining the green areas and the traditional rose bushes of the campus, within a landscape design. Moreover, we used the technology of Catch-fog for taking advantage of the humidity.

2. Urban Planning and Landscape Studio in Milan, Italy

International exchange at Universita Politecnica di Milano Milan, Italy. 2009. Professors: Antonello Boatti, Euginio Rossi. Team:Angeli, Ceravolo, Garbagnati, Alvez, Mondini.

Milan has temporal overpopulation. During the day there are 6 million of people, however there just live 4 millions. The rest of people come for many reasons to the city from the periphery. The proposal attempted to promote new centers between Milan and its periphery. In this way, we identify potential new centers; in addition, we propose diverse services that will be needed for ensuring vigorous new centers such as transportation (including bike road network), green areas, space for housing and public buildings. The studio also implied an analysis of the possible transformation in the landscape.

Pisco was hit by an earthquake and the buildings in the coastline were damaged by a Tsunami. In addition, after the earthquake appeared a natural wetland; the people did not like it because they though it was unhealthy water. We proposed a masterplan for regenerating the seafront with cultural buildings and preserving the wetlands for promoting the tourism, by designing integrated landscape interventions.

The project takes advantage of the traditional architecture as a basis for a contemporary project. The analysis of social relations with traditional spaces is relevant, the proposal wants to allow these typical social interactions between the street and the house. In addition, the project provides efficient characteristics for a modern social house prototype in a traditional material. as adobe.

6. Social Housing and Urban Design in Catacaos

SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE INFORMAL CITY This project takes advantage from some typical dynamics of houses constructed without architects in the Informal City (Slums). First, it is very flexible for being capable to rent independently spaces, providing small departments or commercial spaces in first floor. It is a very commnon use of the house in the Informal City, the house is a “source of money”; so the design needs to be adaptable for these future purposes: “a mixed-use building/house”. In addition, it is efficient because at the beginning it is required less money for foundations; this reduction in general budget is crucial for acquiring a social house in a earthquake zone.

9. Cultural Center in Sinchi Roca park

The public space in Lima suffers from paranoia; every public building, or even park, is closed with walls due to sensation of insecurity; however this engenders more insecurity. In oposition, open public spaces promote confidence. In this context, this Cultural Center, which is in a big park, was designed for creating an invisible limit. On one hand it provides security; on the other hand, it does not cut the integration park/city. In addition, it creates an active public space that can be used as an open teather of the Cultural Center.

We know about the growth of houses in Favelas, but...

How Favelas build their public spaces?

Professor: Luis Rodriguez Rivero PUCP. Lima, Peru. 2010

14. Research: Public Spaces in Slums

Favelas in Lima were born mostly in a desert, at the beginnig there was no services, no houses, just the area to ocuppy. People built their houses increasingly according to their economy. In the same way, public spaces were built by their inhabitants.One important thing which need to be researched is the public space in Favelas; we know nothing about the public spaces dynamics of this new part of the city, which has a different cultural background. The results can be a useful tool for urban design and landscape in order to improve the quality of life of the Informal city. This research analyzes these public spaces with aerial photographies in order to identify and analize patterns of use during almost two decades.

UDEAL, which means in spanish Uni贸n of Architecture Students of Lima, is a new organization that protested against Lima麓s Mayor because of his public policy with no appropiate planning. For example, he wants to increase the use of cars by constructing highways instead of enhance our bad public transportation. I made a long interview/conversation with members of UDEAL, talking about Lima, politics, architecture, urbanism, and critics of our previous generations.
