Presentation : This project aims to redevelop the slum “El Relleno” located in Rincon Grande de Pavas, San José, Costa Rica. It plans : (I) a complex of social housing connected by public spaces to host and improve the living conditions of the 150 families of the slum that currently live in a precarious situation. (II) the construction of a new street and a sewage treatment plant to improve the sanitary conditions of the surrounding neighborhoods and at the same time reduce the environmental impact of the site. The community has the particularity of having formed a Cooperative of Self-Management Habitat: COOPEBERACA. This cooperative creates prefabricated concrete slabs and builds houses. In order to promote employment within this community, the measurements of the complex’s buildings were designed using the slabs’ measures produced by the cooperative so that all the walls can be built with their slabs. Project status: This project started in 2016 as part of my architecture degree thesis. The first proposal (p.11) was then selected by the Municipality of San José to be implemented and to serve as a model for the redevelopment of 3 other slums. I then decided to continue working on the project as part of my internship, within the municipality of San José,and for my Master’s thesis in Urbanism in 2018. Due to the change of many variables before the initial project could be realized, I had to reconceptualize the whole project to arrive at a new solution (p.7). Currently the project continues to be developed by the Municipality of San José and serves as a model for the development of 4 social housing projects for 4 communities of the capital in precarious conditions. One of these communities is El Relleno, for which the solution and my plans are being validated by the Housing Ministry. The begining of the construction is planned for 2019.

NEW SOLUTION SOLUTION NEW
The new solution responds to new constraints, such as: the availability of a smaller construction site due to invasions that have occurred during the last two years; the need for a street and a treatment plant for all the dwellings in the precarious areas of Finca San Juan, which are currently dumping their sewage into the TiribĂ River; and different topographic data from the one I had when I realized the first solution. To address these new needs and constraints, housing solutions have become smaller and more numerous per floor. 7
The project consists of 4 buildings of four floors, each one having 7 apartments per floor. Different types of apartment are plan to offer adequate housing to the different types of families. The land on which the slum is currently located and where the solution is proposed is very steep, which is why the proposal is developed in 3 terraces, with stairs and ramps that connect them, all deserved by emergency access connected to the main street.
On the facade, a set of geometric colors is proposed starting from the windows following a progression based on the golden ratio. This degradation of tones seeks to generate identity in the community, and also symbolizes life and contrast with the gray and drab of former slums. This color scheme of the facades finally represents an urban rainbow whose goal is to bring a feeling of well-being to the people of the community of El Relleno.
8
The conception of the proposal takes, as a central point, the integration to its environment, proposing the public space as mediator of the space, interlocutor and an element of coexistence and interaction for the neighborhood and the community. To this end, spaces such as parks, benches, amphitheatres, an urban vegetable garden, a picnic area, sports fields and children’s playgrounds are created.
9
In order to optimize the available space, I tried to arrange as much as possible the spaces connecting the terraces, so that they are more than simple crossing points. Rather than making simple stairs I chose to create small squares in between the different levels along with a system of bleachers encouraging the community to appropriate the space. These spaces should thus become resting, sharing and viewpoint.s
The differences in height between the different terraces are important. To solve this problem, while making these spaces user-friendly, I developed a system of hexagonal “plantpots� poured in concrete on the site, to serve as a restraint on the ground and embellish these public spaces at the same time. As an extension of these hexagonal pots, I propose stairs mixed with the hexagonal smaller bleachers stated above.These transitions spaces, that will encourage the social interaction of the community, are expected to be developed by the cooperative, not only to take advantage of this resource but also to show its potential.

FIRST FIRST
PROPOSAL PROPOSAL
Due to the great steep slopes of the land, all the public spaces had to be concived as terraces. The use of ramps is imperative to make the entire residence accessible to all. For some buildings the main access may be on the ground floor or the first floor.
11
This solution proposes 8 buildings of 4 floors, connected by public spaces. Each of these buildings offers 5 housing units per floor, for a total of 20 apartments per building. In addition, to promote the community and the development of the cooperative, two buildings of the complex are designed differently from the others to allow the activity of the cooperative: spaces reserved for the production workshops of concrete slabs are planned on the ground floor. On the 4th floor there are offices for the cooperative, as well as a meeting and study room to host training courses or workshops for young people in the community. The structure of the buildings is made of laminated wood from oocarpa pine, so that the carbon footprint is reduced and the assembly more respectful of the environment. The walls are made with the concrete slabs that the community produces. This will promote the employment of the community by strengthening the productive activity of their cooperative.

SPORTSCOMPLEX COMPLEX SPORTS This sports complex is to be located in one of the central districts of the Costa Rican capital: Barrio Escalante. This project aims to revitalize the life of this sector and surrounding neighborhoods. It includes an Olympic-size swimming pool, a multipurpose court, a gym, a volleyball court, a multi-purpose platform, an athletic track and field, spaces for martial arts, sports shops, a gallery, restaurants and various public spaces. Volumetric concept: The envelope of the building merges into the main structure and partly into the outer public spaces, creating a special symbiosis between the outdoor spaces and the buildings. The complex urges the pedestrians to cross the project side by side encouraging the use of recreational areas.

HOSTELGREEN GREENJUNGLE JUNGLE HOSTEL 16
This hostel is inspired by the ecological concept and biodiversity that Costa Rica uses as an emblem. For this reason, it has an interior patio that seeks to attract birds, for the delight of travelers. It also has other coexistense spaces, such as common areas on each floor and a pool with a terrace on the rooftop.
