“At the 13 violence wont defeat us!!!”
A Tale of Resiliency Winter 2015
Comuna 13 is known by many for its physical aspects but by many more for its history. Located on the mountain side of the valley city Medellin, Colombia, the comuna is the most densely populated place in the country. People with the lowest socioeconomic status of the city gathered here and the fabella grew unrestrictedly for decades. On the other hand, the upbringing of Medellin as a city was extremely turbulent, and the fabella was vulnerable. Through its settlement the Comuna has been controlled by guerilla, para-
a 1
military, and gang activity much before the state took over. In addition, the 90’s in Medellin were not a joke. Pablo Escobar was at the peak of his reign of terror and the Comuna 13 was his. He built homes for the poor in exchange of loyal hitmen. How ever this would all change. After his death, and the expulsion of the Guerilla from the city, the fabella came out of the slums. It flourished with peace, innovation, artwork, and resiliency. It became a beacon for adapting and surviving.

Through the mature aging stages of our life, one of the most mentally hindering conditions is the inability to continue with the phisical activities on our lifes by ourselfs. In this public geriatric center, reduced mobility and

biophilic design were major conditionants The buildin allows complete mobility and independece of its users, with any type of disability. The topographic placement was designed with a central ramp, carrying the users throughout
any level to an interior courtyard or “solar” that captures the essence of the site: two beautiful water streams that pass through the site giving it life and refreshing the entire area.

Funded in 1930, Campo Valdes, is one of the most well known traditional districs of Medellin. It is located on the northeastern side of the city, placing it in a privilaged closeness to the city center. It is adjacent to city famous “Jardin Botánico” , making it a very well located neighborhoud Its population consists of
b. 1_2
middle-class working people, with the majority being ages 55 and older. The proyect site, signaled in red, is to be one of the 7 proyects conforming the urban intervention to be developed in the studio, designed to bring back life to the districts water sources and return them to the districs population.
DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY
Vegetation Green masses account of the lowest temperature areas, and these tend to follow the water sources in the area.
Sound Being close to the city center, noise pollution can reach high levels in the area, making the inside of the urban blocks the most quiet areas.
Accesibility The urban squares are permeable, making it easy for the inside to be accesed. This creates a semi-public space on their inside.
Temperature Water sources and green spaces cool down the district, again, making the inside of the district blocks the most calm.
District Blocks Campo Valdes is made up of 80x80m blocks, with exceptions on those on which water sources are present.
Topography The districts topography shows various water sources being canalized in important areas, giving the oportunity for a design strategy.
SITE MAPPING
b. 1_3 15
In Medellin, the “Solar” is a name given to the inner courtyard inside a home. It is a calm place for reflection and exterior space. This gives the geriatric center its name, a courtyard to reflect and absorb daylight.

The proyects objective is to develop diferent scales of analisis and design of a urban planning and public space proyect. A detailed investigation paves way to a detailed public space master plan for the municipality of La Estrella. Diferent systems that conform the
c. 1_1
public space structure were identified and analyzed before concluding in different ideas for improvement. We designed a cohesive union to the different proposals to put together a large scale master plan of public space for La Estrella. This excersice was followed by an
individual development of a proyect inside the public space structure. Master Plan: 1.Consolidación Verde Specific Public Space Design: 2.R.U.RAL

MASTER PLAN ANALYSIS
Mobility and Accesibility Potentiate existing roads and prioritize peatonal pathways. Improve bus system by creating a circuit around the city.
Natural Structure This sistem is understood as the base to formulate a logical public space proposal. Lineal parcks are determined throguhout the water sources, these parks de-limit the consolidated zone of “La Estrella”. A green transversality is planned to break thorugh the municipality to form nodes of public activity. In addition, interior blocks will be activated as public space, giving pedestrians priority. 8 public space proyects are to be formulated to develop a public space city plan.

Service Edge
Activity Nodes
Equipments
Reactivate
Understand service buildings as nodes which activate the development of public spaces. 3 nodes of equipments are found, and a correct articulation is proposed.
Center
Morphology Activate block interior to create public space and pedestrian walkways. Re-structure commercial streets to permit a easier flow of movement.

MASTER PLAN SYSTEM PROPOSAL
Socio- Cultural Potentiate the cultural and patrimonial edge existing in the city center. The simbolic component of the area, which is traditional “barrio” from Medellin, is to be conserved.
Block Interior
Public Space in Service Buildings
Públic Spaces Supply the déficit of public spaces throughout the use of block interiors. It is aimed to articulate the existing public spaces adjacent to service buildings.

The public space project aims to reclaim existing water sources and provide a place for the city to enjoy. Create a border around the space that serves as a bike and pedestrian road. This allows for the creation of a activity node that pretends
to increase urban mobility. A long wedge in the terrain is proposed as a building to relieve terrain pressure on the water source and provide a walkable area with enjoyable activities

When cancer cells start reproducing in our body our immune system weakens. Common cancer treatments focus on attacking and killing cancer cells, but they do nothing to help our body build strength in a time when it is needed the most. The concept of the building is to provide a path designed to facilitate four
b 2_1
major lifestyle changes: Avoiding toxins, managing stress, exercise, and correcting our diet. These four pillars for making our body resist cancer translated into modules that formed interior patios when displaced. The patios act as filters
of everything that might hinder a proper recovery. The building invites to take action and regain control of your life. As the user walks through each module he is prompted to make a lifestyle change.

The building’s roofs are tilted inward. This allows rainwater to be collected and used to water vegetation in the interior patios. Excess water is filtered within the building and redirected towards the Tribute park, where it creates a water mirror around the sculpture

The site in is located in Apt, a town built on top of an old Roman city. One of the few public plazas of the town part of the ruins are sticking out of the ground. The city wants to construct a public building that will activate the plaza, but also something that will provide needed protection to the
ruins, and mantain as much open plaza as possible By elevating the plaza surrounding the ruins 2 programatic components can be acchieved, and by lifting the building off the ground the public space is increased. The piece of heritage is protected and framed as a work of art.

This project is intended to showcase and exemplify how engineered wood and timber technologies can adapt and respond architecturally to modern and future urban needs. The site plan is part of a larger waterfront redevelopment master plan on the East River. The goal is to restore the waterfront to include new commercial, office, and residential spaces, thus revitalizing and transforming the waterfront activities with a public pedestrian greenway. The project will also

provide a public wellness center in Queens by reclaiming unused public space to generate activity, interaction, and a healthy life style. To the north, the Queensboro bridge acts as an industrial Landmark and a high transit Path, but also as an Edge between north and south neighborhoods. Timber by the Bridge finds an opportunity to erase this edge by starting to reclaim the “Freespace” under the bridge and connecting the waterfront with the Queens-

The recognition of the site as a high transit urban habitat prompts the developers of Timber by Bridge to petition the city grant permission to redevelop the space under the bridge and provide the city a variety of improvements and a public wellness facility, in exchange for a higher allowable resitential density. The longspan structure studies glulam technology and proposes a “branch” like butress that holds together a load bearing roof and facilitates construction by providing a chase for systems integration.
