This main distrib ution and initia l exterior Architectural design was hired to well-known Colombian Architect Daniel Bonilla , then all the interiors, urbanism, landscaping and all the detailing for its construction was developed by our team composed by one BIM draftsman, a Mr. Architect and me. I've got in charge various areas to design: mini-projects inside the macro project.
1. Offices, Quality Lab and Mezzanine Raw Materials Warehouse Building
Mezzanine floor plan Offices Laboratory and dinning room Returns Fumigation room
The design was based on the idea of representing the clearness and the precision of the process of receiving and administrating the materials for producing the product in the company. The concept is shown by the finishes inside the interior combining the requirements of the client and the standards from the company. As “domino pieces� the acoustic ceiling (clouds made in ex-sound Drywall with Blackteather fib ergla ss) in the dinning room shows the cla rity of the operation and how each piece fits perfectly to organize an entire rectangular form as the operation has to organize and to stock perfectly every material that has to distrib ute trough the production plants.

2. Operators’ Bathrooms Administrative Building As the company was growing the number of people was increasing too. The majority of its people it’s the operators for the production pla nts, whose spaces as bathrooms and dressing rooms were reflecting this lack of space. Without pla nning the company was just growing in number of lockers but not in area so the amount of people at the schedule for entry was overpassing the capacity of this spaces, wich lacked of natural ventilation or natural light. Those condition were reflected in the mood of the workers and most of all in the dressing rooms and bathrooms appliances and furniture.

With some research in bathroom appliances standards and visiting some other good examples of this kind of spaces, the new concept for this spaces was born, both Form & Function and the User were the basis for the project. while the economical and technical issues created the functional space, the user and his needs created the concept for the project. With those two in mind the project was made to convince the company of facing the problem with better spaces for the foundation positions of the company.

The User
Soul of the Project

Company’s culture: every single individual is valued and respected as equal and the space has to reflect it
In Tocancip á this spaces are located at the administrative building on the second floor, located just in the circulation that comes from the pedestrian brid ge, and before the plants. Pla ced in fornt of a patio that will have resting spaces and a cafeteria. Second Floor: Administrative Building Men´s bathrooms and dressing rooms Women’s bathrooms and dressing rooms
Typical distribution standard bathrooms
The space is divid e in two by a battery of showers, toilets and urinals, separates the sanitary zone from the dressing room, this last is made in a way that all circulations are fluid then the user can make a fluent linear path so it’s circula tion works fluently and as a cycle. The dressing room and the showers now count with benches so the user doesn’t have to change on the floor. And the women’s bathroom have some vanity tables.

3. Dinning Room Administrative Building The company offers the lunch for every single worker including operators wich are the majority of them. The challenge in this design was to try to show the culture by a single concept; dinamism and flexibility of the company, as well the excellence of the kitchen service with an objective to transmit the culture of the company. This two are shown by the movement of the ceiling and the finishes.
Sketches: acoustics in tall and low spaces
RESONANCE
Architectural floor plan and effect of resonance because of parallelism
The Acoustical design was a key factor for the project, the movement of the ceiling responds to that condition, and to other economical conditions. After various designs I presented this one, that has 3 variations that vary costs.
Form left to right: minimal intervention, optimal intervention, optimum intervention (selected)
Perspective: selfservice bars

The ceilings in wood are acoustical absorbent surfaces as well as most of the perforated drywall exposed to noise, the coefficient of reverberations is 0,8 seg wich makes fits the adequate noise level for the room: that you can have a well listened conversation in your table and by other hand feel that the dinning room is empty.

4. Patio & Oratory Administrative Building This two Projects involved the well being of the workers. In their short times of rest they could enjoy some green inside the build ing as well of a little cafeteria and a oratory. The oratory located in a little room at the end of the hall it’s designed about light and how it recreates the feeling of “sacred space” as seen trough architecture historic examples.

Location: Bogotá– Colombia Individual Built
The concept: The work of two people
Sustainability
Concept
Located in a semi industria l neighborhood called Santa Sofía, with a detached construction site that has neighbors at both sides of the building, the principal requirement from the client was to have more productive area. The project takes its form from a powerful concept. This company was built by a couple husband and wife who started from almost nothing, this company is their treasure, their life. So as a couple sustaining this company two “boxes” hold an elevated floor that is isolated in the mid dle of the volume to give light an ventilation to all spaces.
From Left to Right: First floor, second floor, third floor.

The main id ea help s to improve even the structural way of build ing, basically the two “boxes” in both sid es of the build ing work for give the main support to the platform in the second floor.
Longitudinal Section.
This way the design makes a new entire line of production that works vertically with an elevator that communicates the upholstery room in the second floor, the special finishes room on the third level and the platform wich has a painting room insid e the little “box”, then again everything comes down and with the elevator the furniture gets in the truck for delivery. The project shows the materia ls as they are, there is no finishes in this project, the entire building is made of reinforced concrete columns and beams. The container box is made of brick and the floating boxes made of concrete masonry.

Panoramic view
The project is located in a warm weather town near the capital Bogotá. Its a house for 12 people, the main family and one host family (sister of the client). The house is a renewal and extension of the original. The renewal involves the interiors and the pool, as well as the new distrib ution that wants to clearly separate the private from communal spaces.

The project added to the original house two private bathrooms, a studio, a service kitchen, a la undry room and another bathroom. The main idea in the project is make open spaces from a house made of lots of compartments, also to make better the temperature of the house insid e by isolating the ceiling from the roof and by adding area to the existing windows. 4

SANCTUARY PARK FINAL PROJECT
Location: Bogotá– Colombia Academic Project - Individual
Montage: The conurbation in the mountain.
Panoramic view
The project is located at the south west Mountains of Bogotá in the zone named Ciudad Bolivar, just in the limit of the city to another town in growth called Soacha, between Jerusalén neighborhood and the Lake Terreros. The porject’s site has two evident conditions: first the conurbation of illegal housing that grows fast and will end up invading the rest of mountain that remains, and in second pla ce The tradition at the mountain that wants to be maintained by the actual residents, most of them who migrated because of violence from little catholic towns fulfilled with rites of this religion. In this place at the top of the mountain there is a tree, a walnut that in more than 20 mts tall, wich is called the “Hangman Tree”, and its considered a sacred place by the habitants. In there catholic rites are celebrated, In April a huge cross is carried by 30 men to the be erected at sid e of this tree. That’s how the project takes it’s chance to take advantage of this cultural and religious center, to be the content to the conurbation rescuing the mountain and its traditions, a new center to the south slum.. The urban id ea is a Metropolitan park wich recovers the polluted lake, the mountain and the conurbation. Divided in three zones dedicated to the mind (Lib rary) the second one to the Soul (Sanctuary) and the third one to thebody, (Sports Complex).

The architectonical intervention is focused on The sanctuary: Heart of the project. It’s made for the Christian massive pilgrimage and for tourists, pretending to be a new symbol for the city that la cks of them. Three main build ings are fused with the landscape and distrib uted along the path way that goes form the lower part of the mountain to the top. First the entrance, which use is the commerce and souvenirs, after that a open air theater (church/altar) for 1000 spectators and at the top; the oratory, where huge pilgrimage will be done, with the walnut and the cross as its center. The Oratory concept its born by recognizing how mountains and high pla ces have been always considered a sanctuary, and how human race has been always trying to reach gods by build ing zigurats and minarets (even pyramid s), for example stories like the Babel Tower. All of them were sacred pla ces where the shamans or priests visit the gods. After that, I took examples how trough architecture it is possib le to bring the sky inside spaces, the new shape intention is to the people to only see the sky, so at the visual of people the only thing their see its sky, a metaphor of heaven, or also a pla ce where sky and earth touch each other. Up: From zigurats passing trough the Babel Tower and Minarets. The architectural elements for bringing sky into the space. To get to the main formal concept.

HOUSING CONTEST
Location: Bucaramanga– Colombia Group – 2nd Place Binational Social Housing Contest
The base of the contest was to recover the north zone of the city that was in decay through an urban project and the specific intervention of six blocks in critical state in the neighborhood called Chapinero. In our analysis we found that there where two main problems to the sector, first, the city grid has not pla nned any difference in zoning in it’s urban plan, neither any kind of ranks for the streets, and that makes the pla ce big homogeneous masses of uses and spaces which left the city zones with no movement of habitants . In second pla ce we identified huge social problems in the sector, we found informal workers in streets, drug addicts as well as drug sellers, an infrastructure in bad state and delinquency. Formal and socia l problems summed up cause the main problem: Isolation of the sector from the city.
Urban plan. Connecting the city with mixed uses of the ground and scaling the avenues and public transport to the sector. Living Commerce Public Institutional Industry Public Space Educational Offices.
16
Our main idea for the specific intervention for the six blocks, was the user, to meet him as profound as we could and understanding wich is the character of the pla ce so the new housing that fits for him an also attract new users. By other hand the contest dictated that the project had to be viable in economical terms. So that’s how we decided to make a housing complex with 3 different kinds of living places for different targets. 1st Priority Interest Apartments (Vivienda de InterÊs Prioritario categorized like that by the government) , the smallest apartments, 2nd the Socia l Interest Apartments (Vivienda de InterÊs Socia l), these two that have the financing from the state in order to the economical capacity of the users, and the third blocks composed of private apartments to buy by investors, and will stabilize economically the public investment for the rest of the project.

As the Priority Interest Apartments are the smallest ones by Colombian regulations, we wanted the habitant not to be limited to just a couple of stances, we created furniture that could let him decid e wich room he wanted with convertib le furniture. As the apartments grow bigger the distributions are more conventional, so we can hit the specific user and it needs. The communal space is defined by spaces for informal encounters with neighbors. The socia l problem is fixed when we mixed new population and have some more varia tions in architecture to create less occupation area and little cluster invigilated by the own neighbors, even the homeless people are considered as part of the public space, People with not much private area has quality public space to enjoy,commerce and communal laundries.
