1/ CONTEMPLATION PAVILLION La Calera-Colombia

The form implies a conception beyond the appearance of the architectural object. Since as Francis Ching says, the form relates the space with its spirit, associated with an experience that is established from perception. In the search for a harmony within the materiality, the route and the permanence. Where the senses play the leading role in the exercise of design. The form then expresses something beyond an aspect. It represents a symbolism, a memory, an intrinsic experience in the relationship with the landscape, thus establishing a pregnant space.

Integrat

The ordering idea of the proposal is planted in establishing a game of circulations and stays where the traveled space is accompanied by a pregnant space, be it a contemplation patio, the distant landscape or a visual finish of the savannah. This strategy corresponds to a analogical association of the routes established by the architect Rogelio Salmona where the user receives stimuli, denying the frontal view, which increases the sensations of surprise by establishing a culmination of the route that connects with the lejand landscape, which in this case is the Bogotá savanna.

2/ CULTURE HOUSE La Vega-Colombia

The project arises from the need to integrate and link the living space with the public space, from the concept of dematerilization the limit. Normally urban housing in the context of Colombia, infers from the notion that housing should be introspective isolated from its context, generating feelings of security and intimacy, however this provision could be considered as selfish with its environment.

PROGRAM

On its first floor there is a cultural center with music rooms, a tiered outdoor events center, a cafeteria and 2 bathtubs. On its second floor is the house for musicians, which consists of two rooms, a social area and a music studio. The house of culture is projected from the solar and wind orientation where it seeks to "refresh" the space from the generation of patios and cross ventilation, strategies that make it a comfortable project taking into account the climatic conditions of the municipality.

3/ COLIVING 7V

Cajica-Colombia

Coliving is a new model for collective housing, specifically for the young university community and independent workers. A good combination of cheap housing and close coexistence with friends and colleagues. For a reasonable amount, it is possible to get a single room and share some common spaces.

4/ CMMB Bogotá-Colombia

The Metropolitan Conservatory of Music of Bogotá emerges from the need to supply and clean up the need for cultural and artistic spaces that complement the educational network of the town of San Cristóbal in the city of Bogotá. The architectural project together with the research base, part of the idea of matching architecture and music. This dialogue between disciplines is presented from a unique language, composition. A process that allows the transmission of ideas, traditions and sensations.

CONCEPT

When in the development of this idea within the exercise of architecture, one starts only from the appearance and the figure, a sense of order is denied in the relationship of the parts; the composition is not established within a logical formal structure that defines relationships between the container space and the contained activity.

Phrame

Mesh with respect to sunlight

From the analysis of projects in the fields of theory and practice, strategies are identified that address this correspondence. In the first place, the formal structure, in achieving a balance within the relationship between dual models of composition and, secondly, from the experience of the architectural space, in the variation of moments of tension in the transit through the project and tranquility in the moments of rest or permanence, which establish a living in architecture. These strategies allow a dialogue between form and experience, where the visitor manages to perceive the building as a harmonious place, a musical composition made into a building.

PERCEPTION

The formal-spatial continuity of the urban plan from the management of the levels on the topography. Establishing a balance in the ascent and descent in the fluidity of the route through the public space that offers different activities to the user who circulates through it.
