PROJECT OVERVIEW The Social reintegration and literacy Center for women who where internally displaced by violence, is the first social reintegration center dedicated to victim of the armed conflict in Colombia.
Due to the armed conflict, there are more than 7 million internally displaced people in Colombia, 2,4 million are woman. They all move to big cities in search for job opportunities, but are unable to do so due to their educational level and discrimination. Therefore, in order to provide food for themselves and their families they end up involved with crime, illegal acts, prostitution and asking for money on the streets. This generates not only insecurity in the cities, but it affects the economic development of the city and the country. The government target the victims with monetary assistance, but not as a social issue. Saneta, is not a place where they will come and get a monthly payment from the government. It is a place where they can heal, and overcome the situation in order to become active members of society again. Saneta is a safe accessible space where women will have the chance to take their destiny into their hands, by not only overcoming and heal their emotional trauma throughout counseling and assistance services, but also as a place where they will have the tools to chive their dreams and reintegrate to society. The main goal of the project is to provide an alternative way of emotional rehabilitation and social inclusion. Collaborative spaces will foster collectivism, while educational areas will give them learingn tools to be one step closer of not only a job, but of their personal objectives.
GAPS Social • Lack of education facilities of illiterate adults. • Lack of social programs for internally displaced people • Lack of programs that focus on the vulnerable groups such as elders, women and kids. • Lack of help from the government.

SUCCESS STORY
• One of the main problems the user have is having the initiative to participate in this kind of social help. • Engaging them with the program by not only showing them a final success story but also the road to that goal.
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT • Growth through social support is the best way to heal. • Is important to have lollipop moments and we all need that community support to get over their problems. • This will not only connect them with the other people in the program, but it will help them develop sensitivity towards each other
Engage
INTERACTIVE MAP • One of the main problems the user have is adapting to the city life. They come from a very simple life in their country side. • Is essay for them to get lost. • They struggle with public transportation and knowing where things are. • This will help them to know not only where the services are, but also will give them detail directions in a visual way. • Essay visuals so is simple to use .

ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION SITP BUSES:
Traffic: • Traffic in particular cars and taxis is chaotic, as in any big city. Specially in the downtown area. • Finding parking is a struggle.
• Is a system that has been working for the past 2 years. • Is programmed bus schedules , with designated stops. • There are many stops adjacent to the building.
• There is a lot of one ways • The main problem is that the streets are low maintained, so there is a lot of wholes and that causes a lot of accidents.
Design Opportunities: • Essay access, it gives the opportunity to car pool and make it more accessible. • The fact that is not located on a main traffic street gives the opportunity for not having a heavy traffic.
Transmilenio: • Public Transportation system, it goes around the city. Is the most used public transportation system. • The undersides station is adjacent.
SPATIAL ORGANIZATION Being located in the Candelaria is a very big advantage, The old historical part of the town does not allow tall constructions, since most of the buildings surrounding the area are historical buildings.
This allows the building to have a good overall view of the city and the mountains
There is a park on this side of the city. A few blocks away form the building.
This is a 18 stories building. It cast some shadow over the project building during the day, and it block part of the window view on that side.
Mostly old houses, no taller than two stories.
This allows a perfect view of the north mountains.

THE BIGGEST AREA OF TH E BUILDING IS THE PARKING SPACE, IT COVERS AN ESTIMATED AREA OF 12,000 SQM (130,000 SQFT). FROM THE FIRST FLOOR IT ONLY COVER 1,100 SQM (10,000 SQFT). tTHE NO ACCESS ZONE, IS A SEMI-PUBLIC SPACE FOR ART GALLERIES AND COMMERCIAL DISPLAY.

The north and south facades are cosidered a transitional system between the exterior opal glazing and the structural metalic shades. This allows pasive heating and controling the amount of daylight that comes trought the building. The mix between the opal grlazing and regular glass allows not only an interesting facade but also controlled lighting.
THIS VOID IS CALLED AN ATRIUM. IN THE 8TH AND 9TH FLOOR IS ALL COURTAIN WALLS LOOKING AT THE INTERIOR. THEN IT TRANSFORM INTO AN IRON AN WOOD MESH THAT NOT ONLY CREATES A BEAUTIFUL PATTERN BUT ALSO IT BLOCK SUNLIGHT.

FOR THIS SECTION THE SPACE IS ALMOST THE DOUBLE OF A PERSONS HEIGHT. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT THIS IS AN EDUCATION AREA THIS HIGHT IS APPROTIATE. HAVING HIGH CEILINGS GIVES THE SENSATION OF OPENENS AND IT HELPS FOR STUDENTS TO STAY FOCUS ON CLASS AND NOT FEELING CLUSTERED BY THE CEILINGS. ON THE OTHER HAND HAVING CELINGS THAT ARE WAY TOO HIGH FOR AN EDUCATIONAL PLACE IT WILL CREATE A DISTRACTION ADN THE ACOUSTICS ARE GOING TO BE VERY BAD, THEY HAVE HANGING CELINGS OF GYPSUM BOARD, THAT HELPS WITH THE ACOUSTICS OF THE PLACE. HAVING CELINGS HIGH ENOUGH WILL HELP PLAYING WITH SOME HIGHS TO CREATE DIFFERENT SENSATIONS.

Notes: The project will be considered LEED Platinum. Is hard to reduce Parking footprint since 60% of the building is already destined for Parking. There is no refrigerant management since due to location refrigerant or heating is not available, and that is one reason why it also lacks of thermal comfort.
