Dos Pinos. An old milk factory that has been abandoned and unused since the year 2000. Dos Pinos is one of the remaining post-industrial sites of San José, this illustrates the changing relation between the industry and the city. Factories used to be located in the inner city in Latin American THE RESIDENTS OF BARRIO LUJAN ABOUT DOS PINOS countries and productivity was a part of the daily life. We can observe a shift in this pattern as centers of production start to disappear Overview Location San Jose center & Barrio Lujan or to transfer outside of the city borders. SAN JOSE CENTER

San Jose center & municipalities = 333 981 habitants
In five years time, the remaining factory buildings will be demolished and replaced by a 20 floor high residential tower. This in a blue collar neigborhood, which is known for its traditional character. A new project that won’t connect with the history and the qualities of the site and its surroundings in any way. In this master dissertation, I used Dos Pinos as a representative case for those kind of post-industrial sites and provided an alternative design strategy to reactivate them, to connect them again with the city fabric and to maintain productivity in the inner city.

KAROLIEN BOGAERTS DOS PINOS, BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES
(María Gutiérrez in her vegetable shop)
“It was a big factory with a lot of people working there; people who lived in Barrio Lujan but also people from outside of San José, from the countryside. The factory was opened 24 hours, so it was a vibrant place. Three different shifts covered those 24 hour working days, there where always people around. “ “The commercial businesses have changed much since the closure of Dos Pinos. The presence of the workers from the factory stimulated all the different shops. During their breaks they went to eat in one of the different soda’s (small restaurants) or they bought some food or drinks in one the pulperia’s. There were a lot of different shops and services to satisfy the needs of the workers. Because they worked in three different shifts, there were always costumers. Even when they finished with working, they came here to buy vegetables and fruit to take back home.” 5
Current situation Only three restricted entrances (for employees only)
The biggest part of the factory site isn’t accessible
The contrast in surface between the unused Dos Pinos site (12 600 m2) and the surrounding residential plots. A waste of space in a place where space is a luxury The residences in Barrio Lujan have a great richness of sequences to offer. Dos Pinos on the contrary, has a rather limited territorial depth. Barrio Lujan functions as an island with an organic form in the orthogonal grid of San José. It’s a small village inside of the capital. Because of this strong border, Barrio Lujan has been able to maintain its traditional character and unique identity. Whereas Dos Pinos acts as an island inside of Barrio Lujan. Lack of activities results in a lack of social control.

Design proposal
Reactivating a paused zone using the ‘given’ tools (A blue collar neighborhood with the presence of various rudimentary car repair shops. Two architecture schools within a perimeter of 500 meters of Dos Pinos). A new center that relies on the neighborhood but relates to the city. A productive center that depends on the social relations with the neighborhood and that uses the unique traditional qualities of the area as a strength. This forms the perfect backbone to compete with the threat of the expanding generic city. The border between the Dos Pinos site and the rest of Barrio Lujan is an important element, it will be crucial in the process of connecting the site again to its surroundings. What if we stop looking at the border as a dividing line, but rather as a space of opportunity? A collective belt around the site will contain various productive ‘cells’ and regulates the way people enter the site.
The permeability of this border/membrane will differ from side to side and depend on the relation with the adjacent street and the character of this street. The productive cells can be linked to the local activities (car repair shops, soda’s, architecture & arts workshops and pulperias), communal spaces for the residents of the neighborhood and offices/workshops for externals.
Through time, the border can grow deeper into the site and change the dynamics of this place, starting from the border towards the core of the site.
Sun and RULE 7:rain SHELTERare the two most important aspects of the Costa Rican climate. In order for people to use the open spaces to fullest, most should be covered. Protecting them from the sun and the rain, but maintaining to possibility to enjoy themselves in open air.

Levels of collectivity in Barrio Lujan Housing Cerrito, an orthogonal concrete structure that allows an adaptive use. The building is inspired by the neighboring area ‘the Cerrito’. An organized mess, a composition of different colors, materials and volumes. The collective space is the heart of the project and connects several housing units. The collective space has a different atmosphere and character in each floor. The intensity of the collective spaces decreases as you go higher into the building.
CONCEPT SUMMARY / HOUSING CERRITO
PRIVATE SPACES - APARTMENTS
KAROLIEN
Housing Cerrito contains 28 apartments. The standard module is a residence of 50m2 and can be extended with units of 50m2 and 25m2. In total, there will be six units of 50m2, ten of 75m2, nine of 100m2 and three of 125m2. DISTRIBUTION OF THE APARTMENTS / 50M

Research project.
What would happen if north and south korea would reunite? What if the border in between would dissapear? What would happen with this borderzone? A no man’s land of 248 km long and 4 km wide. It would be a shame if this untouched land would become an extension of the surrounding cities or even an attraction park. My landscape intervention aims to maintain this alienated atmosphere. Without words this intervention can tell us something about what has been. It is a silent reminder of what happened here in the last 66 years. Four booklets explain the project. References - Concept - Material - system
The combination of these four booklets works as a manual to recreate this landscape intervention on other locations.
