AR8101 - STUDIO IN CRITICAL PRACTICE - FALL 2013 COURSE SUMMARY
AR8101 Studio in Critical Practice is going to investigate the subject of informal urbanism/slum urbanism, both generally and in relation to Colombia, with the cities of Cali and Medellin providing case studies and territories in which to conceive projects/interventions.
This is why the studio you are about to take is a studio in Critical practice, not a studio in Contemporary practice. Our 13-week odyssey will require critical thought. So, a good starting point is to give thought to what it means to be "critical".
Is there a role for architecture in a condition of informal urbanism? Clearly, the answer is yes.
And to give thought to the meaning of other key terms and concepts. Such as, what is a slum?
But you will need to think outside the box.
Or, for that matter, what is a city?
You will need to conceive shrewd interventions and calibrated interventions. And, of course, you will need to determine minimums. Qualitative minimums. In this regard, your challenge will not be unlike that confronted by architects in the aftermath of WW1 - in Germany, for example, the question was: how does one make better housing, housing that is more affordable, that is healthier, and that is more widely available. How does one work to ameliorate the truly Dickensian conditions of the industrial metropolis, in the absence of so much, from capital to labour (many of Germany's craftsmen, bricklayers included, had been killed on the battlefields in northern France and southern Belgium), not to mention the realities of a country struggling with everything from food shortages (hundreds of thousands in Germany's cities had starved to death), hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and near- or outright revolution? And out of all that, out of that seeming chaos of postwar Europe, arose initiatives such as CIAM, and projects such as Weissenhof Stuttgart and Berlin Britz.
Surely a city is the most complex organism that is a work of (wo)man. Yet we seem to have little difficulty in answering that question. In terms of the disciplines, what a city is may be defined variously – urban planning will proffer one understanding, urban sociology another, urban geography a third. Anthropologists will define a city differently than economists. Therefore, the perspective that one adopts, the lens through which one sees something, the discourse within which one is operating, these will influence dramatically how something is comprehended.
When there is a need, where there is a need, architecture - architects can find a way. To help move things forward. To help to make tomorrow a better day than today. Architecture had a role - and a big one at that - in Germany's recovery, post WW 1. A recovery interrupted, tragically, by the Nazi terror. Colombia has emerged from decades of insurgency, and unspeakable violence. It is in a period of recovery - remarkable recovery - truly astonishing recovery. The parallels with Germany are obvious. And they are comforting. No Nazis are on the horizon. Our studio, unquestionably, is grounded on the idea that architects have an ethical responsibility to contribute to the betterment of society - and not just society's elite - as well as to the betterment of our planet.
Generally speaking, things are defined “in opposition”. Day is day because day is not night, morning is morning because morning is not evening. In other words, there is something intrinsically different between the states of day and night, morning and evening, something that unambiguously sets them apart. Hence, cat is cat because cat is not dog. And a city is a city because a city is not a…. non-city.
Definition is not the same thing as description, but description is a good way to proceed towards definition. So, what is a city? Well, an architect may well begin by describing the characteristics and conditions that adhere to a representative, urban area.
What are the intrinsic conditions, then, that make a city, a city? From an architect’s perspective, one that privileges such considerations as
form, space, program, patterns, typology, morphology, structure, materiality, and density, a city is comprised of particular, identifiable, characteristics and conditions pertaining to each of these aspects. In other words, from an architect’s perspective, a city is not a suburb, and could never be confused. Or could it? In his brilliantly written Ways of Seeing, John Berger takes us on an appealing journey into the world of perception – into the world of seeing, and reasoning. His is an enduring work that will help us to understand our subject matter. As Berger asserts, first comes seeing. So, what exactly is a slum? If we begin to answer that question by describing a typical slum – in itself a difficult proposition, given that slums, like cities, differ greatly, but are at the same time similar enough in certain key respects that one can talk about them – we would, and perhaps we should, begin by describing what it is that we see. And what exactly is it that we see, from an architect’s perspective? More often than not, we see an affordable, adaptable, walkable, low rise, diverse, dense, complexly patterned, mixed-use and mixed-income built environment comprised of accretive, closely packed, minimally constructed, passive, relatively small-footprint buildings. We also see, although less obviously so from an architect’s perspective, a surprisingly high degree of recycling, and a surprisingly low degree of waste. Do these ingredients seem familiar? If we approach definition through description, and description through seeing, then we may well begin to think of a slum as what it so manifestly is: the very foundation of a sustainable community. This Studio in Critical Practice will be heavy on design research and analysis with a view to determining what role(s) architecture plays in ameliorating the quality of life for persons living in slums. Given that well over one billion of the world's population live in such settlements, the question is not just academic. Students will be asked to conceive several projects or interventions, premised on the idea that “less is more”, specific, targeted, “minimum” investments that can realize maximum returns. These projects/interventions will be geared toward the provision of essential services and amenities, projects/interventions that are both pragmatic in intention and articulate in response. Infrastructure, necessarily, will be a central consideration. Hence, our exploration of informal urbanism/slum urbanism will of necessity delve into the subjects of infrastructural urbanism and landscape urbanism. I imagine.
INTRODUCTION Over half of the world’s population now lives in an urban context. With globalization and urbanization, disparities in income continue to rise, especially in emerging economies where wealth is concentrated among ever-smaller groups. Informal urban settlements are the solution found by over one billion people living in poverty across the globe. Many Latin American urban centers in particular have witnessed their populations increase ten-fold in the past half century. Latin America is now among the most urbanized regions of the world, with 79 percent of its population residing in cities. Yet, Latin America is also the “land of inequality”, where the poorest 30 percent earn only 7.5 percent of income and over 110 million people live in slums. Although these perils threaten the livelihood of so many individuals across the world, there are however many opportunities that unveil prospects for societal regeneration and infrastructural improvements. Now in the context of a slum, all of the negative factors, those that pay detriment to the surrounding community, can be reinterpreted and critically assessed to provide a targeted focus for rejuvenation. First founded as a coal mine along the slopes of the Farallones de Cali, the informal settlement of Siloe has grown to become today’s second largest informal settlement in Colombia’s Northern industrial city of Cali. Siloe has seen its population suffer from extreme poverty and violence associated with prevalent narco-trafficking related conflict and oppression from government agencies to provide essential infrastructure. Even in the 21st century, inadequate housing and a lack of physical and social infrastructure remain the norm. Despite being a vibrant community, Siloe still struggles with a lack of social infrastructure, adequate building practices and appropriate sanitation facilities. Unfortunately, these qualities remain stagnant with little to no support from governmental agencies, which leaves this dilapidated community in a state of perpetual deterioration. This does not need to be the case. Through an intensive research and design studio, Ryerson University’s Master of Architecture students have explore how architecture can become a catalyst for social integration and infrastructural development within informal settlements. Specifically studying the opportunities and challenges associated with developing appropriate communal and housing interventions in the community of Siloe, has students confronting the complex social and infrastructural realisms of slum urbanism. The following pages of student work looks to these realities as a basis to develop unique interventions that respond to and envision the development of a fruitful future.

CONCLUSION
287
1a: FORMAL | INFORMAL Where lies the line of distinction between what is formal and what is informal? The term ‘formal’ can be defined as that observant of conventional requirements of behaviour, procedure etc. Can informality be as easily defined? Can formal conditions be found in the context of a formal city? Do these opposing terms somehow co-exist amongst the urban fabric? Is this dichotomy critical to the “successful” city? Project 1a compares and contrasts the formal and informal conditions present in an everyday urban context. The informal within the formal and vice versa. Through a two-minute video, students are to demonstrate their interpretations of formality in the physical and social conditions that define their urban context. The videos seek to extract, analyze and synthesize many of the informal qualities of a typical North American city - Toronto, by potentially uncovering the city’s “Calian” qualities. 1|

2b: CAPTURING CALI In the spirit of Lars Lerup’s “Zoohemic Canopy” diagram of Houston, appearing in his tome, After the City, students are to produce a diagram of the city of Cali. This diagram is to be completed on an “8.5 x 11” size sheet of paper, is to be formatted vertically (portrait), is to be of composed in pencil, conte, charcoal, pen & ink, or crayon, or combination thereof. Like Lerup’s diagram, it is to be reductive: it should represent the essential, intrinsic qualities and characteristics of Cali’s natural and built environment in no more than five elements. Think of Manhattan: its fundamental condition can be embodied in a diagram consisting of an elongated, oblong shape on which is inscribed a grid widely spaced in the vertical, narrowly spaced in the horizontal), a rectangular void for Central Park, a diagonal line for Broadway, solid and broken lines representing the many bridges and tunnels connecting Manhattan to its cross-river surroundings, and two clusters of skyscrapers, one at midtown, the other downtown. The multilayered state of one of the world’s most complex built environments can be reduced to – and be understood from – an essential few lines. 5|

P1: A PUBLIC INTERVENTION Students are to conceive an appropriate, targeted intervention, or amenity, to be located in the Siloé district in Cali, Colombia. The mandate is first to determine a need, then to conceive projects that seek to satisfy that need while ameliorating the quality of life either for a specific group or demographic, or the residents of Siloé generally. Projects may range from that of the micro to that of the macro, from those emphasizing landscape and urban space generally to those that are more traditionally with the realm of the architectural. The Siloé district of Cali is deficient in many respects, especially as concerns the provision of facilities for health, education, welfare, and recreation. A basic premise is that interventions are to be conceived not as finished projects per se, but rather as incremental initiatives that can be realized more fully over time. Phasing, affordability, constructability, appropriateness, materiality, space, and structure are all critical design aspects that are to be given careful consideration by the student. 7|

MATTHEW A. SURIANO Overlooking the community of Siloé, The Canchas De La Estrella provides both a vital amenity and community oriented agricultural facility to an area lacking facilitators of economic and social development. The project identified the City of Cali’s highway infrastructure construction as dilemma to the existing football field and opportunity for development in the community of Siloé. The proposed football field, water collection facility and agricultural terraces navigate the impending highway to create a network of infrastructure that is beneficial to the social environment through the engagement of sports and play, as well as contributes to the economic development of the community through structured agricultural development. The master plan of the proposed development links each component of the design to create a closed loop environmental system whereby rainwater collection and fertilizer pit integrated into the design of a football stands and amenity space fuel the growth of agricultural production. A rainwater retention basin behind the football field reduces the amount of rainwater runoff from the steep mountains above and mitigates the risks of mudslides which are prone to the area. Architecturally the amenity space is minimal in its use of materials and considers its local context with the use of bamboo columns and roof structure.

SLUM URBANISM BIJAN GHAZIZADEH Slums are informally and heavily populated communities that consist of mainly poorer families and displaced groups of people. While characteristics of and sizes of slums may vary, they all share similar issues such as crime, drug abuse, poverty and inaccessibility to proper infrastructure. In spite of these issues slums continue to exist and function internally. In fact in some cases lessons can be learned from them. The idea behind slum urbanism is not to interfere and dictate a way of life to the inhabitants but to improve it. Case studies of successful interventions suggest time after time that real improvements come through bottom-up approaches and provision of opportunities by taking advantage of the strengths in a community.
Cali - Terrain
The goal of this proposal is to trigger a movement and release potentials in SiloĂŠ while addressing some other issues the community is experiencing as a whole such as vertical circulation and absence of communal spaces. This proposal aims to address 4 issues: Lack of Community and Green Space, Optimize pedestrian circulation, Provide opportunities for economic activity while stabilizing the grounds on which the community resides upon.

GALERIA DE ARTE ASHLEY ADAMS Everyday women of all ages suffer immense violence and abuse. In Siloé, Cali, it is no different, and in most cases worse. The environment in Siloé does not foster women to be truly free and independent. Galeria de Arte will provide a safe haven for women to reach their potential. This design will create a space where women can escape their violence, heal their wounds and learn to become confident. Women are provided a safe space to heal, create, express and sell crafts they produce. They are given a chance to earn their own income, giving them independence and freedom from their abusers.
Gang Prevalence
The design for the Gallery was driven by a desire to provide a gradual transition from exterior to interior, mirroring the process of recovery. A semi-covered market space acts as a threshold for the gallery and allows women the opportunity to sell their creations. The final destination, the gallery, has the ability to be completely closed and protected or open to the market. An interior courtyard lies inside the entrance, a space where women can have privacy and heal. Group workshop space and covered market space is also provided for times when the environment does not allow the women to sell outside. This gallery is designed to encourage the women of Siloé to take control of their lives and have a greater voice in the community. A change is needed for the violence and abuse to end.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL SCHOOL MIRENA DITCHEVA The slum condition is a by-product of unchecked urban growth, of poor foresight and apathetic opportunism that exists in stark defiance of the grid, with its chaotic form finding legitimacy in the complex yet meaningful organizational structures of its inhabiting communities. The proposed intervention strives to manifest the tension between the formal and the informal, the orthogonal and the amorphous, with the intention of bridging the two incongruent realities. Its program is a football park for pre-teens of all socio-economic classes; located at the fringe of Siloé, one of the larger slums in Cali. Flanked on one side by a major vehicular thoroughfare, the site is an ideal location for communal program, as it straddles the boundary between the city and slum. Similarly, football is an activity that straddles both classes, being a sport that needs no more than a ball, a space between two stones, and several enthusiastic feet.

UNDER THE STAR OF SILOÉ JEFFREY MITCHELL In the City of Cali, Colombia, a neighborhood classified as a slum called Siloé exists on a steep incline with little to no public free space. With 10X less public space than the city average, and existing transportation/ infrastructure limited, a cable car is proposed to increase mobility through the site. Due to this city initiative the top of Siloé, will see a large influx of movement and visitors. Therefore, by focusing this intervention on the key landmarks of Siloé and the city at large, visual relationships can be established with the city below. Working in proximity to the cable car and the future highway to the north, key public spaces within Siloé can be better utilized to also establish a physical connection to the city. With the implementation of these two city initiatives (cable car and highway) this area will undergo a massive change within the next 10 years. The initiative of this project is to provide a facility directed at improving the access residents of Siloé have to education of money management and business opportunities similar to the Cedezo center in Medellin. The site, located under the neighborhoods statue of a star, will become a place of rebirth for the community. Visualization

NODO MATTHEW KONIUSZEWSKI Nodo is a marketplace and artesian workshop located between two MIO cable car stops. The cable car provides citizens of Cali a means for entering Siloé however adjacent the cable car stops there are no facilities or activities. With a few strategic pathways the route between cable car stops could become a scenic walk through the heart of Siloé and stimulate the area with an influx of shops, etc. Nodo is a point along the pathway located at one of the strategic shortcuts that provides people from the area a space to produce handcrafted goods and hone artisanal skills. The Centre also houses a large canopied market that at night could become a venue for impromptu dance parties.

MAINTAINING ACCESS TO SILOÉ’S PUBLIC SPACE
$$$ +
KATHRYN DOUTHART Situation Highways are managed by the Colombian Ministry of Transport through the National Roads Institute. The road infrastructure is outdated, with a lag of 40+ years compared to other Latin American countries. Most highways are still undivided two lane roads, with some exceptions are the Highways of the Valle del Cauca - the province of Cali, where an infrastructure improvement Project is currently under planning, design and construction.

Community of Siloé
Proposal The National Roads Institue is planning a new Regional Highway that bisects through the site, threatening precious community amenities and limited open green space for Siloé. It is important for the community to retain access to these amenities and propose that the highway be sunken in this region. As part of the construction scope will be the budget for a typical pedestrian bridge. The architectural expression - bamboo trussed canopy - will be funded though donations to community groups like SIDOC. Visualization

CENTRO DE SALUD SILOÉ LEEANN PALLETT Located high on the hill, the Centro de Salud Siloé is a vital amenity in an inaccessible community with a serious lack of health care facilities. The centre is designed with incremental growth in mind, and is capable of caring for three overnight patients when first constructed, and can be expanded to care for nine overnight patients at completion. The structural grid was designed with incremental growth in mind. Each of the structural bays can be constructed individually and used for a variety of programmatic elements depending on the needs of the centre. All necessary structural elements of the proposed building will be constructed initially with three bays being reserved for future expansion. This modular morphology allows for serial development in other informal settlements throughout Colombia, and perhaps elsewhere in South America. The project integrates passive ventilation, rainwater collection and sanitation concerns into all building elements. The Centro de Salud Siloé is an experiment in glass bottle construction. The glass bottles are used similar to a masonry unit and offer a very interesting texture and lighting effect in the building’s interior spaces, as exemplified by the wall model. The height of the ventilation stacks is exaggerated to make the centre visible from a distance.

THE MARKET SHAWNA SELIGMAN The Market is a new commercial marketplace achieved through a series of constructed live/work spaces along a residential street corridor in SiloĂŠ, Cali. The Market acts as a gathering space for inclusive business and social interaction. With Residential Houses and apartments providing the community with stores, restaurants and spas on the street edge people will be able to grow the economy from within. The Market will be achieved over time through small interventions in progressive phases enabled by the residents themselves.
oe m a the sil
rket proposal f
or comm er
The following project explores two possibilities to intervene and implement a means of employment for the residents. The Coffee House will occur in phases by adding a patio for a small restaurant in front of the house and eventually an addition to a 1 storey existing house. This one storey home to a family of four will transform into a more stable house on the second storey and a cafe for the community on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor. The Corner Store is a revitalization of a ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor apartment on a 2 storey existing building. It is home to a married couple and will provide employment and service to the community. The patio is transformed by creating shelving units with recycled goods for a store and a service counter into the unit. Exterior Rendering

SILOÉ ACTIVITY CENTER JASON RAMELSON Siloé is a municipality under extreme detriment. To design such an intervention that poses significant change to the surrounding context would raise the question of typology. We turn to small-scale constructs to facilitate such endeavors and will lean on specific quantifiable disadvantages to qualify type. In this respect, it is to the benefit of the community to not only focus in on these traits, but also consider variables that can entwine with other programmatic functions to establish an intervention that is both context specific and critical in a systematic approach. Thus, we must look at what is missing in Siloé and amalgamate such lost features to produce a program that has the ability to adapt to its surroundings and be a community catalyst for the people that it will contain. In the case of a ‘found’ structure, a system must be established to afford flexibility in programmatic functions. It may consist of an integrated bamboo sub-structure which will then allow for variability in configuration and form. This proposal seeks to utilize vernacular and common construction materials/methods to enact a variety of programs that respond to the immediate needs of the community. It is the responsibility of those users to gather, construct and use the evolving structure. 10

RYAN ALEXANDER In Cali, ‘Recicladores” (recyclers) make up a large informal sector, surviving economically through the means of scavenging and reselling of waste material. Before 2008, over 2000 informal recyclers and 300 small businesses functioned around the activity at Cali’s Navarro Landfill, for environmental reasons. Since the closing of the Navarro landfill, Cali fails to recover 120 tons per day of recyclable waste ($55 million pesos or $27,000 CDN), resulting in a loss of economic activity and an increase in waste sent to landfill Small scale sorting facilities are proposed in order to mitigate the loss of the economic activity, the first of which is designed locally in Siloé. The program consists of a receiving area for unsorted waste material, and a large sorting area for workers of the facility. The facility serves as a hub for the selling of recycled material. As odour is a primary concern, the building’s permeable wall system, constructed from reclaimed timber, provides the facility with natural ventilation.

The dichotomy between the formal and informal is very apparent in the physical representation in most cases - Siloé of Cali, Colombia is no exception. This project aims to develop a possible “interface“ between the two domains - the common ground between formal and informal. As Circunvalacion Avenue defines the two domains, the morphologies exist on either sides are formed. The “interface“ represents the edges of both domains by conflating relevant programs, interests, and lifestyle into a common ground that assists the connectivity between the domains. The “interface” is contingent on a collaboration from all three domains - Government, Private Investors, and Community. The City of Cali will establish the infrastructure for the “interface“ to maintain a safe and healthy community. Siloé’s unemployed inhabitants will work on the project, in return will gain steel construction knowledge and wages. From this a Communa 20 community centre will be established, class rooms and studios for cultural activities will be established as private investors fund the project. In return, the private investors will be able to market their corporations on a facade of the “interface” project. Overtime, the “interface” will evolve from a community catalyst to an economic engine which can attract new economic activities for the community of Siloé.

SILOÉ PLAYGROUND AND COMMUNITY CENTRE RYAN LEE Siloé is located in Neighborhood 20, where it encroaches upon the city of Cali. It is where gangs, drugs, and crime prevail plaguing the community. Majority of the people live in poverty. Majority of the family building homes along the mountainside, creating informal settlements. Providing services to the people of Siloé is a change. A targeted intervention is to try to bring new services into the space, without removing families. The question is how can a small change provide the largest impact to a struggling community.
Siloé
Siloé Playground and Community Centre aim is to create a sense of community within the neighborhood. Create a network of interactive views from the mountain site and create a sense of extension of their home, through amenity and outdoor spaces.

ESCUELA DE DANZA BARRIO JULIA MOZHEYKO The ESCUELA DE DANZA BARRIO is placed on the border of two neighborhoods as a uniting symbol of the community and Cali, commonly known as a city of Salsa. The building is contained in a single floor and organized in three, equal volume parts separated by covered walkways that provide access points from every direction. The dance school enables the city to expand and enhances its educational programs, which serve students from preschool through to adulthood.
Educational Facilities
In terms of energy efficiency, the characteristics and energy requirements of the proposed project are designed to maximize natural ventilation, implement a rain water collection system, optimize materials, and establish durability and low maintenance costs, in order to provide safe and sustainable occupancy. Lattice-works formed by brick rotations at various degrees act as a shield from excessive solar heat and light, provide privacy to occupants, at the same time that they incorporate into the interior space a playful movement combining light and shade.

CENTRO COMUNITARIO LA ESTRELLA KEVIN PU There are numerous social issues looming in the community of Siloé. None is more evident than the urban density seen throughout the compact informal settlements of the community. Located on the hillside of Cali, Colombia, Siloé lacks social amenities and public space to service the overwhelming population of families. Further, the public domain is out of the government`s control due to the presence of prominent gangs. With limited space and resources, families in Siloé are stripped away of their rights to a healthy environment and communal space. The World Health Organization recommends a minimum of 9.0m2 of green space per person whereas Siloé only has a mere 0.49m2/person. This lack of community space is seen most prominently on the streets of Siloé where people resort to sitting and lingering on the public street for public interaction. In understanding these shortcomings, this project aims to intervene in the public sphere through giving the community a much needed public amenity in the form of a community education center. Further, one of the only public spaces in Siloé (La Estrella), is in danger from a proposed highway.

RAMPING UP COMMUNITY HEALTH DUSTIN SAUDER Medical Post
The community intervention aims to improve both the physical and mental health of the SiloĂŠ Community. Locating the project close to existing community amenities and future transportation makes the site easily accessible to more members of the community. Since the project is on an extreme slope, other key objectives include bringing stability to the soil as well as providing accessible circulation down the steep terrain. The circulation acts as a framework for the rest of the project which is inďŹ lled with a health post, giving the community more access to doctors, a centre for counseling, where a councilor can work with youth and other members of community, and public washrooms to help improve public hygiene. With these elements, the intervention aims to have an impact on improving the greater community and making it a better place for the people to live.

CONSTRUCTION TRADES ACADEMY SIAVASH VAZIRNEZAMI With similar morphologies these two hill-side settlements are far apart in terms of urban status, one is a tourist destination, the other a slum. Improving the quality of the urban environment in Siloé has many different components, such as social, economical, demographics , etc. but the most important (one that in many respects act as a platform for others) is probably the architecture. The organic and off the grid urban fabric of the Siloé is not a weakness, but rather -along with its climate and fertile soil and tropical climate - a strong potential for becoming an attractive urban environment. However this is achievable through a gradual and sustainable process, where architecture and construction become fully integrated into the existing economical subsets. A center dedicate to promoting this goal would be a good starting point, injecting the grassroots with real-world knowhow to take the initiative in this regard.
Siloé
Orange dots represent the location of educational facilities capable of holding construction trades programs (dotted lines show the quarter mile standard distance). Black dots represent local schools buildings that are not sophisticated enough to hold workshop activities. Therefore the need is sensed for a facility that is fully capable of offering a construction trades program, more importantly within the Siloé area. Visualization (Main Entry)

BRISAS DE MAYO PUBLIC PLAZA WING SHUM After the successful story of Medellin cable car system installation which provide slum area residence greater access to the city, creating career opportunity and deceasing crime rate dynamically; the government of Cali has decided to invest a cable car system in one of the oldest slum in Cali, Comuna 20 was established 60 years ago and is consider one of the most dangerous area in the city which high rates of violent, gangs and drug trafficking activities. By installing the Mio-Cable car, the government is expecting similar outcomes as Medellin, which can ultimately gain positive opportunities for both the residents in Comuna 20 and Cali.
Existing Transportation Assess
In order to maximize the benefits of the Mio-Cable car infrastructure that will be installed for Comuna 20, a series of mixed-use community support in the immediate surrounding block is proposed. The east side of the Mio-Cable station block will be elevated to the same level as the front entrance, creating a flat open space for a public square. This proposal will hopefully become an economy boost for this community and create employment and social opportunity for the residents.

INDEPENDENCE COMMUNA ERANGA DE ZOYSA The largest problem facing Colombia is the issue of settling Internally Displaced Persons. Siloé is a community that then becomes a magnet due to its ease in accessibility as well as the poverty levels. Many of the individuals are farmers from the surrounding regions that come to urban areas due to lack of employment and being forced out of one’s home due to internal strife between various factions. This causes the populace to encroach on urban areas and Siloé provides the suitable distance. The site selected is in close proximity to main requirements for incoming families that need to be settled. The main aspect of this location is the cable car system that is to be completed in the near future that will aid in the transportation to the urban regions in Cali. Support is provided for families with children as flexible spaces are provided for education and teaching. An important issue is how to approach privacy and what is public in the facility and that is demonstrated in the design of this community center.

SILOÉ KINDERGARDEN OF HOPE SIVAN GLAZBERG Siloé Kindergarden of Hope is designed in the center of Siloé, Cali, Colombia. The site was previously occupied with residences which collapsed during a landslide, leaving many wounded and deceased. Therefore, the site has been designated for public space in memory of the victims. During the day, the facility will function as a daycare for children up to five years of age. In the afternoon, the site will become a playground, and in the evening, workshops for adults will take place, teaching them various trades; thus the site will be occupied throughout the day. The design of Siloé Kindergarden of Hope resembles a bamboo forest. Bamboo grows naturally in Colombia, and is evident throughout the city of Cali. Public space in Siloé is limited due to the dense structure of the neighborhood; thus bamboo is used sculpturally throughout the project to connect the occupants both to the city of Cali and to the natural landscape of Colombia. Bamboo is used to stabilize the soil, support the buildings, provide security and privacy, and shade the interior spaces.

The building is designed to take advantage of the environmental conditions which it is situated in. Due to the warm temperatures and consistent seasons, a very open, airy envelope was implemented with each wall falling short of the above roof to allow breezes to cross ventilate. Large overhangs and a ramp provided additional shading and storm water is collected for re-use in the toilets.

Embedded within the hillside near the center of Siloé, this small elementary school is a targeted intervention looking to rejuvenate and reconnect the community through its architecture. Included within the buildings program is an adult construction school where locals can learn new building techniques and how to use different materials such as bamboo. The upper ground level of the school houses both the main classroom space as well as the public garden and viewing area. Allowing the entire space to be fully accessible speaks to the universality of the building itself.

SILOÉ COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTRE
Educational Facilities
FILIP TISLER A large concern surrounding the Siloé community is in regards to primary and secondary schooling. With limited government spending towards education and a 10% dropout rate in the city of Cali it is evident that there is a need for better educational facilities in Siloé. In order to encourage the already existing DIY (Do It Yourself) means of construction the facility will double as an adult trade school during the evenings. A simple and easily duplicated modular system was designed utilizing vernacular materials such as: bamboo and mud. The facility is designed to grow over time in order to expand the capacity of the school, as well as to encourage a safer, efficient, and more economical means of construction.

Siloé is currently experiencing severe environmental issues because of poor water resource management and socio-political issues. Located near sewages and poorly managed channels, the contaminated water may pose health risk for users and agricultural products in the short term, and affect soil and aquifer quality on a long term basis. To address these issues, my design, Water community center, is targeted towards redeveloping both the water management system and the community within Siloé. The design is based on defining multiple usage of water and the methods to sustain water supply on its own: Multiple uses of water approach involves: 1) Accessing the water needs in collaboration with end users 2) Examining the water sources available, from rainwater to wastewater to piped systems 3) Matching water supplies to needs based on the quantity, quality and reliability required for various purposes Sustain Water supply on its own 1) Participation of local communities 2) Identification of all water needs 3) Consideration of the different water sources available

The facility poses social issue as well; the number of users, sizes, the need for water, the area and system of the collection area, the type of social activity in the center are all interdependent. In order to be practical, the collection area depends on the number of user/visitor per day.

MIND AND BODY

JAD JOULJI The mind and body project is a hybrid between a school and a sports venue, with some extra added program that caters to the needs of the community. To solve the problem we have to target its rotes, that is to positively affect the child’s development at an early age, both the mind and the body. The child’s development is mainly affected by three streams: their family, their school and their community. The proposed project would have a positive effect on all three. 1. Family: by providing adult evening school, since education parents are a better influence on their children. 2. School: because it offers and education facilities. 3. Community: it offers a safe environment where children can interact, play and learn from other children and the community around them. The building has various program functions, such as computer labs, a small clinic, play-fields, library, entertainment. All of which encourage social and educational activities and bring the community together. The building is designed to be a multi-functional facility, the use of the buildings spaces could change depending on the demand of the community.

POLIDEPORTIVO LA ESTRELLA ANTONIO CUNHA The Siloé Activity Centre proposal responds to a severe lack of publicly accessible green space currently present in Communa 20. Built on the site of an existing dilapidated structure, the activity centre provides a covered playing area directly adjacent valuable green space. The structure houses a covered playing court, multi-purpose area, storage space, washrooms and changeroom facilities. A rainwater collection system services the interior spaces while a compost waste management system allows the building to operate completely autonomously. The building is inherently designed with ample construction tolerances in order to allow for community engagement in the construction, maintenance and use of the facility while fostering the development of employable skills. The building is also assembled through small-scale, easily transportable, renewable and locally available materials using simply manual labour methods and avoids sheet or panel construction. Programmatically, the proposal aims to provide a space for year-round community interaction through education, recreation, arts and leisure while becoming a catalyst for the development of similar pavilions throughout the Communas of Cali.

GREEN TERRACES OF SILOĂ&#x2030; RAWYA AL AMEEN A SUSTAINABLE DESIGN TO COMBAT LANDSLIDES + UNEMPLOYMENT Risks to life and infrastructure due to landslides have increased throughout Colombia over the past few decades. Due to the relatively high land value, high percentage of the population build their homes on the steep valley slopes (the most vulnerable areas). Through a sustainable integrated design approach , the project aims to combat mitigate the danger of landslides, by terracing and retaining the site and providing an open space for urban agriculture and social activities.

Play + Perform + Educate embraces an intersection of play, performance and education environment for children - an architectural response towards the need for a cultural hub within Siloé’s informal settlement. Located within the heart of Siloé, the facility is situated in close proximity to the nearest primary schools and existing outdoor theatre landmark, while possessing the opportunity for future growth north of the site. The intervention accommodates for art workshops and rehearsal space which can be utilized by outside and internal art communities.
LIBRARY
KM
The facility is derived from one module that varies in form, in response to the existing topography. The module is a ‘programmed ramp’ used as a theatre and classroom and composed using Siloé’s natural and artificial elements. Play + Perform + Educate is an intervention that celebrates the people, natural environment and ever-present culture of the informal settlement.

C1: CALI DESIGN CHARRETTE Together with students at Javeriana University’s - Facultad de Arquitectura y Diseño in Cali, Colombia, Ryerson University Master of Architecture students undertook a two-day intensive design charrette addressing four fundamental challenges to adequate housing conditions in the barrios of Siloé. Specific subject homes were selected that exemplified these four issues of income generation, privacy, structure and security. The exercise aims to explore how to address the unique conditions of a slum context with Colombian students imparting their knowledge of the local architectural environment, to provide an enlightening contextual understanding. Students are to assemble a conceptual design proposal specifically addressing their assigned issue of concern while also considering fundamental implications brought forth by the remaining three challenges. 117 |
