"Aiming to create a resillent and adaptive coastal environment by emphasizing the importance of working with nature rather than against it"

Build Environment Unbuild Environment

Built and Unbuilt Environment Coquimbo is nestled between the sea and mountains, creating a unique sandwich-like geography. This map explores the boundary between nature and the built environment, emphasizing the delicate balance between coastal dynamics and mountain preservention. It prompts reflection on sustainable development practices and the integration of urban infrastructure while respecting the natural beauty of the landscape. However, in response to this predicament, there is an opportunity to transform this rocky edge into a functional and harmonious space where both nature and people can coexist. This transformation metaphorically harnesses the power of nature itself to combat the challenges it poses. By reactivating and repurposing the rocky edge, it becomes a space that integrates natural elements and human activities. This approach entails a careful balance between preserving the integrity of the natural environment and creating usable spaces that serve the needs of the community. By bleeding natrual

features and human interventions, a symbiotic relationship can be fostered. The rocky edge, once seen as a barrier, is reimagined as a collaborative space where nature and people engage in a mutually beneficial coexistence. Through this metaphorical transformation, the design seeks to create a resillent and adaptive coastal environment. It emphasizes the importance of working with nature rather than against it, recognizing the inherent value of natural systems while also providing functional spaces for community. The result is a harmonious integration of the city, the rocky edge, and the surrouding nature, where the challenges of the past are transformend into opportunities for a sustainable and thriving future. 4

Concept Diagram The design process begins by carefully assessing the topography of the site, and identifying the areas with the flattest terrain. Based on this analysis, three distinct public gathering spaces are situated within the landscape. Each gathering space is thoughtfully placed to interact with specific features of the site, creating unique experiences for the community. The first gathering space is oriented towards the community, fostering social interaction and connectivity among residents. It serves as a central hub where people can come together, engage in activities, and build a sense of community. The second gathering space is strategically positioned to face the sea. This allows residents to enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean, creating a relaxed and calming environment.The third gathering space engages with the natural elements presented on the site. It takes advantage of features such as vegetation, trees, or water bodies, providing an immersive experience in nature.

By situating these public gathering spaces in different orientations, the design maximizes the site's potential and kind of satisfies the community needs. Whether it's fostering social interactions, capturing scenaric views of the ocean, or promoting a connection with nature, each space offers a unique experience for the residents, enhancing their quality of life and strengthening their bond with the surrounding landscape.

Nature

Seaside

The design incorporates a pathway on top of the seawall as the primary circulation route. This pathway allows users to enjoy uninterrupted sea views while connecting to the various public gathering spaces located under it. Those who appreciate the ocean, are encouraged to walk along the top of the wall and explore the rooftop garden, providing a unique and elevated experience. In addition to the primary circulation route, the design includes a secondary circulation system. This secondary pathway is designed to provide a more immersive experience within the gardens, away from the immediate contextual surroundings. creating a sense of escape from the surrounding context.

Community

To preserve the community's access to sea views, the design takes advantage of existing terrain. The project grows underneath, ensuring that the landscape elements do not obstruct the vistas. This Approach maintains the visual connection to the sea and allows residents to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings. Additionally, the landscape project incorporates a sustainable

drainage system. This system not only manages rainwater runoff but also creates anew microclimate compared to the prevailing living conditions in the city. By utilizing sustainable drawinage techniques, such as green infrastructure, permeable surfaces, andd water retention areas, the dsign promotes water conservation, mitigates flooding, and enhances the local environment. 7

Site Analysis: Garage Typology

In my typology analysis, I examined various garage types and their connection to their surroundings. Subsequently, I extracted two case studies of garages and delved into the design challenges they currently confront. I utilized these case studies to establish the foundational principles for my own design. For the first case study, I focused on the matter of privacy.

As my site is located on one of the main streets of Kensington Market, pedestrians have a clear view of the interior space. To enhance privacy, I pushed one of the walls inward to a certain extent. Furthermore, considering the site's surroundings, which restrict the entry of natural light into the house, I raised the roof to create a skylight.

Street Elevation

Taking into account the site analysis and the study of garage typologies in the surrounding area, I have implemented several measures to optimize the amount of sunlight reaching the house.

A contrast has been intentionally crafted between the deconstructed form of the building and the cubic architecture that surrounds it, thereby emphasizing and promoting the distinctiveness of the market.

Level 2 On the second level, there is a public space facing the main street, while private rooms are located towards the rear. This level comprises a playroom, a workspace, the parents' bedroom, and a washroom.

Direct Light Versus Diffused Light In public spaces, I have employed a series of direct lights, while in private rooms, diffused lighting has been utilized. This approach allows us to achieve dynamic lighting conditions while maintaining control over them.

Ground Floor The ground floor primarily serves as a public space, encompassing an entrance area, a living room, a kitchen, and a garage.

Public versus Private

The relationship between circulation and skylight

A series of direct lights are used in public spaces and diffused light in private rooms, in order to achieve dynamic lighting conditions but in a controllable way.

There are two main skylights in the building, and both of them are facing toward the main circulation of the building.

Reaching

Fetching

Reaching straight toward a target is achieved through a typical bending motion, initiated by forming an arm loop at the starting point. The blue arrow represents the bend in the arm. Steps 1 to 2 demonstrate the creation of the arm loop, while seconds 4 to 5 illustrate the propagation of the bend toward the target. Step 6 depicts the arm making contact with the target.

Fetching a food item (white object) in a straight motion is depicted here. In frame 1, the arm is connected to the target. From seconds 2 to 6, you can observe a continuous linear point-to-point pulling movement. At the 3-second mark, there are two bends visible in the S-shaped grip of the food item (white). Changes in colors, brightness, and contrast have been made to emphasize the arm’s movements.

Parti Diagram The sketch illustrates the evolution of my initial concept, wherein the tentacles extend into pods and become part of the existing building’s exoskeleton. Additionally, it showcases the incorporation of cascading terraces between the exoskeleton and the building, complete with vegetation.

Exterior Render

Interior Render

In relation to the created exoskeleton structure, floor plates have been added to the building, resulting in the formation of public terraces every two floors.

The rooftop is enveloped by hundreds of glass pieces arranged in an organic form. This design approach presents a new opportunity for the existing building, allowing people to witness the interaction between two distinct design approaches.

North Facade

East Facade

Drawing inspiration from the octopus, particularly its tentacles known for their stickiness and embracing movements, I chose to design the new additions in a way that gives the appearance of organic growth from the existing architecture.

The tentacles have extended, forming pods and becoming part of the existing building’s exoskeleton. Additionally, cascading terraces have been seamlessly integrated between the exoskeleton and the building, adorned with vegetation.
