ARTS AND CRAF TS CENTER

PROJECT TYPE: Public building STUDIO 8: Professional Cycle’s Threshold PROFESSOR: Oscar Santana DATE: January-June 2014 LOCATION: Medellín’s city centre
Colombia
BASE GUIDELINE Pedestrian Connectivity: reconnect the unlinked pedestrian circulations between commercial and cultural sectors. Perforated metal facade: a different option of a louvre facade to protect the building and its inhabitants from direct sun. Interior void arrangement: liberates area in the ground level for public and social interactions, along with improving natural illumination. Form complement: fulfilling the void between two historical and iconic buildings which compose the block.
The project developed in this semester is an Arts and Crafts Center which seeks to complement the cultural and historical connotation that the center of the city has. The project intends to be the launch pad for Arts and Crafts that, in one sense or another, have been lost with the running of time in this sector. The building serves to the public who are interested in getting involved with arts and maybe in learning and developing new crafts. The project’s form provides the missing volume for the block’s void which was never filled. The importance of the building lays on respecting formally and geometrically the adjacent buildings, which have been two historical icons in the centre of Medellin.

The building is open entirely for the public, as it integrates both the productive functions proper from a port and social and ecological functions distributed in such way that the user can experiment de building through culture, leisure, learning and ecology through composting. The material that was mostly used in the project was timber, mostly local, for the preservation of ecosystems and avoiding the pollution caused by the transport of raw material.

public building | undergraduate works | pontificial bolivarian university
PROJECT TYPE: Public building STUDIO 10: Urban Design Lab PROFESSOR: Juan E. Correa and Carlos Pulido DATE: January-June 2015 LOCATION: La Loma, sub-territory of San Cristobal in the outskirts of MedellĂn
Colombia
BASE GUIDELINE National and International cooperation offices: working as integration agents for social improvement based in the idea of the Human Rights care. Reparation: workshops for improving post-conflict troubles and enhance better quality of life among inhabitants. Roundtables: with citizens and government institutions seeking to improve economical, social, cultural and environmental purposes. People Centered Design: combining desirability, the fasibility and viability in an architectural proposal which starts and ends with the community as main target users.
In one of the main sectors of La Loma, known as Bellavista, it was realized an architectural project inmerse in a rural master plan that was proposed for the sub-territory of La Loma. This project is an equipment for the improvement in the respect of Human Rights, result of a request made by the community for their own revitalization in terms of restitution and reparation of victims of the armed conflict. It is a center which works for and by the community, because they, themselves are who will manage it and provide solutions for their own territory in which historically have been several violence acts. The propoposal also involves tactical urbanism as launch pad for new activities and ways of using the street along the territory.

LIVING UNITS IN A GREEN CORRIDOR
housing | undergraduate works | pontificial bolivarian university
PROJECT TYPE: Multiple housing units building STUDIO 5: Collective housing PROFESSOR: Jorge M. Gómez DATE: January-June 2012 LOCATION: Medellín’s south east area
Medellín
Colombia
The collective housing building, appears in the frame of the city as a need and a tool for social inclusion. The building is proposed in El Poblado sector, near a few educative institutions, and it answers to the function of holding different manners of living: families with two and three children, families with one chlid, couples without childs, single persons, foreign or independent students, artists or even professionals with different needs for spaces. The building, though it remains to be one, is composed by two towers with an interior crack which allows natural winding and ilumination for each apartment. The building is part of a complex site of five housing proposals that work together as an articulation with a green fringe or corridor for social interaction.
