COLLECTIVE HOUSING

VIVIENDA COLECTIVA

PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL CONTEXT APPROACH

Panoramic from Park Juanes de la Paz

Cultural opportunities

behaviors reflect close coexistence need to project outward

The neighborhood street is identified as the main space for the social dynamics, becoming an area attached to the living spaces set inside the housing area. This condition is identified explicitly in actions or rather habits (because of its daily manifestation), like leaving the doors open or spending hours on the balconies watching the activities that take place in the street. These behaviors reflect not only a predilection for close coexistence, but also a need to project outward.

However these habits so marked in the neighborhoods of lower strata could also be seen as a concequense of their poor housing conditions, what lead them to search in the street a more pleasant space, causing a more forceful appropriation of public spaces. Nevertheless the street (sidewalks and driveways), in our context, is rarely planned giving priority to pedestrians, therefore this spaces do not have appropriate conditions for social development.

PROJECTUAL AIM Basic concept

spaces generating neighborhood

In line with the above considerations, the proposed project is based on propose the facades the building as the new neighborhood streets. It is intended to develop in the most superficial part of its volume spaces that become the cause, that generate neighborhood social dynamics. This would be achieved through the design of the facade as a surface sectioned through the multiple levels (plants) of the building, where a continuous circulation is conceived with the idea of guiding the user through semi-private and private public spaces that encourage spontaneous encounters (unplanned) with its neighbors, proving a planned development of coexistence.

HOUSING TYPOLOGIES

Plan Typologie 1

Argument

eliminate divisions maximize lighting obtention

Due to the modular grouping of the living modules and the rectangular dimensions of the lot, the possibility of generating openings in the side of the modules is restricted.

Therefore it is decided to eliminate the possibility of horizontal divisions (internal walls) within the typologies, in order to maximize natural lighting obtained through the front and rear facades. This commitment, however, decrease the possibility of developing spaces within the living modules with variability of privacy. In light of this the housing typologies are proposed with different spaces according to their privacy, by slopes, allowing light to enter to all interior spaces without losing their visual isolation.

Moreover homes are designed to be used by students, due to the proximity and demand ITM. According to this two types of house are developed, wich divide the inside space into three diferenced areas. One of the Typologies is conceived to be occupied by a single student, while the second one by beeing duplex allows to be used by 2 students. In addition to this, this tipology is planned to be located on the second floor with direct access to the internal square of the block, What allows the possibility of proposing an extra space inside the home for productive use, to generate an additional income to afford this house with larer areas.

WORKSHOP

GENERAL ARGUMENT OF THE WORKSHOP

proyect confluence interaction forces mineral, organic and social

We understand the architectural project as a confluence and interaction of various minerals, organic and social forces and suggest this course to approach them through the study of material cycles and current, traditional and contemporary architectures. Therefore we will be visiting some places of mining or industrial exploitation and the phenomena network that emerge from them, looking over the construction of various architectures made with immunized wood and study the building technichal drawings.

Phase # 1: Material and social cycles of San Vicente Ferrer Phase # 2: Collective intelligence, authorarchitectures Phase # 3: WOOD CLOUDS proposed in San Vicente Ferrer Phase # 4: WOOD CLOUDS is constructed

These work fronts give way to the work of architectural design, construction and editing. However to project is always a process of review and consultation, so the project design is implicit from the initial analysis. This process will allow us to do an approach to the world of construction with patula pine wood, to develop a small building 1/1 in the municipality of San Vicente Ferrer, which will be recorded and validated through its construction and use.

Schemes of study of architectural proposal

Forest Pavillion nARCHITECTS “nARCHITECTS’ Forest Pavilion - completed in May 2011 serves as a shaded meeting and performance space for visitors to the Da Nong Da Fu Forest and Eco-park in Hualien County, Taiwan. The project was conceived within the context of an art festival organized by Taiwan’s Forestry Bureau to raise public awareness of a new growth forest that is being threatened by development. The pavilion is comprised of eleven vaults built with freshly cut green bamboo, a material first used by nARCHITECTS in the internationally acclaimed 2004 Canopy for MoMA P.S.1. As an extension of techniques developed in 2004’s Canopy for MoMA/P.S.1, the 60’ diameter and 22’ tall pavilion is built with green bamboo.

Forest Pavilion was chosen to host the opening and closing ceremonies of the art festival, becoming a focal point for the park.”

PHASE 3 - WOOD CLOUDS PROPOUSED IN SAN VICENTE FERRER Intervention site survey - Justification As intervention site for this workshop is the culture house of this town selected, specifically the backyard of the building.

The main reason for taking the decision to intervene here is that although it represents one of the unique and major spaces for recreation, cultural or political manifestation of the population from San Vicente Ferrer, is in a high deterioration state. Furthermore, it is pretended to give life to a space that is very flexible in use and that was totally isolated and underutilized until today, fulfilling only the role of deposit.

It is sought then to adapt a space in order to have comfort conditions that naturally promote new activities that encourage citizen interaction. Such as theater, cinema, music tests, reading, meetings, etc.

Argument of the proposal The project aims to create a covered space for effective use of this yard. nevertheless it should generate a spatial richness that encourages ownership by the people of different ages and cultural groups of the municipality and conducive both the emergence of new activities and also allow permeability, maintaining the condition of an outdoor yard in essence and the visual to the exterior of the building.

To satisfy this objective it is a pergola with volume richness designed. Volume that allows to give the sence of more stiffness and to generate a set of shadows playing with the stands of the stage. Additionally it is proposed a skin composed of wooden sticks to this “cloud�, that allows a partial view of the sky and gives life to the space trough the continuous movement of the shadows generated by the sunlight.

GENERAL ISSUE

ISSUES

The rural context in Colombia, in general, has been emphatically marked in recent decades by displacement or migration to the cities because of the armed conflict and the lack of instruments that provides economic stability to the colombian peasant. This phenomenon lead to the emergence of informal settlements in the cities, the excessive densification of urban centers, countryside abandonment, the reduction of agricultural production, among others, consequently resulting in social, environmental and economic issues making an impact on all social levels and even nationally.

TRANSPORT CONSTRUCTION CONTEXT Poor condition of roads Travel distances up to 8 hours / 200km

$

High cost (70% of home value) Difficult achieving industrial materials Difficult achieving skilled workers

Among the most visible consequences are: the vulnerability of many communities by beeing located in risky areas, the increasing of the ecological footprint of cities due to high transportation costs (consumption of CO2) in search of food or supplies produced nearby the cities before and the discrimination and segregation of rural communities uprooted from their context and culture.

Rural area: 242.5 km² Tº average: 16ºC Density: 65 hab/km²

In Antioquia, specifically,the problem seems obvious trough the indicators that place about 75% of the population in urban centers or towns, densifying excessively less than the 20% of the total area of Antioquia territory.

LA CEJA, ANTIOQUIA Municipal Center

The Housing Company of Antioquia VIVA, has achieved the development of numerous housing projects in the rural area, understanding this component as critical to the solution of contemporary problems. However its effectiveness has been compromised by the isolation in which much of the target communities are located.

Describing them as “Remote Communities” refer not only to the long distances to get to these, but also to the difficulty of obtaining both material resources and qualified personnel necessary for the local housing construction. This condition

34

07

CONCURSO PREMIO CORONA PRO-HABITAT 2014

of isolation is pragmatically translated into excessive transport and labor costs. About 30% of the budget destined for each house (70 minimum monthly legal wages) is invested in the transport of materials and an other equally high percentage is invested in workforce.

REPLICABILITY

But these actions are defined by legal, political and business conditions that ignore contextual opportunities, local constructive cultures and regional materials, which could improve the efficiency of projects and make a more effective use of resources. Construction using materials, missnamed traditional, such as concrete block, brick, cement, etc., despite having high commercial efficiency in the process of industrial production, involves higher costs in the subsequent processes of transport, handling and construction and contributes to a environmental degradation greater than building techniques of cultural traditions alived in each community. Which employ mostly contextual materials such as land.

In general, Colombia is a country with a wide range of constructive cultures, among which stand out the adobe, bamboo construction, the earth construction (baharque y tapia) and the wood construction. However it is clear that technical regulatory requirements (eg, earthquake resistance) disqualify most traditional building techniques for application in these projects, perhaps revealing a normative obsolescence or lack of ingenuity to search for the applicability of these tecniques in portions of projects.

PERTINENCE OF THE PROPOSAL

portability the ease transport

From the above discussion, around the need to address the shortage of rural housing against a condition of isolation, it is appropriate to think of a proposal that has as its central axis the portability of the houses. Understanding the concept of portability as the ease of transporting strictly necessary materials for its construction.

However, when thinking about portability you could make the mistake of designing a standardized architectural piece trough industrially process, ignoring the multiplicity of social dynamics and cultural variables, subscribed to different contexts and temporalities. Which determine the space usage and ownership of the houses by the end.

modulation building cultures self-build growth

Additionally, portability is limited by the capacity of the transport vehicle and container. Therefore it is necessary to understand that the concept of portability of housing should be complemented by a modulation of both the materials and spaces and the possibility of variability and growth. Besides it is understood that the application of local building cultures is essential, reducing the amount of materials to be transported and allowing the possibility of implementing self-build methodes and evolution in time according user needs or familie growth.

1. HALF IN THE FRONT

Cada módulo esta compuesto por un espacio contenido y dos corredores perimetrales. La variabilidad espacial de estos se plantea a partir de tres estrategias: sustracción, subdivisión y adición (condicionada por las dimensiones de los corredores).

NOTA: Las condiciones bioclimáticas mínimas deben conservarse independientemente de la configuración espacial definida para cada módulo, por lo tanto las intervenciones de adición, por ejemplo, conlleva a una extención en la cubierta para mantener la protección solar y de intemperie adecuada.

Although the module works and effectively respound to the weather conditions at the time when the construction process culminates, it is also considerate that the module allows the user over time not only to change conditions of aesthetic finishes, but also to provide greater durability over time and better comfort through these new finishes.

1. INITIAL MODULE

The begining of the house construction starts with a module compound of two structural axes, which define the side walls. However modules that are attached to this, according to the needs of use, only require one additional structural axis, because the rest of the support structure is allready installed on the previous module.

The module form, shaped by the structural axes, is delimitated by both climatic conditions of the context, such as technical specifications of materials and a cultural collective memory.

Therefore retains a traditional gable roof form with measured large eaves, recognizing not only intelligence regarding the care of the material that makes up the walls, but the importance of the corridor in social dynamics of the countryside houses, which take place under the eaves,

However the traditional form is substantialy modified searching to improve the conditions of internal thermal comfort. Accordingly it is sought to implement direct gain solar passive systems and a Trombe wall. These strategies consist of a plastic window in the roof, achieved by generating two trestles, and a low cost greenhouse attached to the module when required, acording to special use destination of spaces (eg bedrooms). Fullfilling the fuction of a tromb wall by filling the inner space of the modules with warm air trough several perforations on the walls.

REPLICABILITY SE TI N

The procedure followed for this specific context could be replicated to develop housing prototypes in other regions of the country, as the isue treated in this exercise recurs throughout the national context (remote comunities). Understanding this, man could develop diferent modules that respond, trough their form and construction materials, specifically to different climatic, natural and cultural conditions. Across the mapping of the natural regions of Colombia and constructive cultures presented along the country, it would be possible to refine these prototypes in 4 categories: housing for very hot weather, housing fot hot and humid climate, housing for very humid climate and housing for cold weather.

Taking into count the above considerations, three types of additions are foreseen, related to the conditions of the structure of the initial modules.

DEVELOPMENT OF A HAOSE FOR VERY HOT WEATHER

To improve the thermal comfort of the rooms in the house A low budget Trombe wall system is implemented.

This will be located in the back corridor at the area of the affected module. The heat generated by the greenhouse system will be transmitted during the day through embedded PVC ducts in the wall that will be closed at night to prevent heat loss.

The system used for the treatment of sewage and BIOCLIMATIC SPECTANCES organic wastes consists in a simplified bio-digester. It is a septic tank with biomass (bacteria), where organic waste is deposited and methane gas is produced. This gas is conducted through a pipe to the cooking stove. Also a liquid byproduct is generated that could be used as fertilizer.

TRANSPORT

SELF BUILDING

Calculating the required area to transport construction materials of each module, the possibility of an effective handling is verified. A little truck has the capacity to transport a complete module, however, thinking about satisfying needs for more bulk and distant places, the module could be transported both by land as well sea and air if it´s required.

The whole process was thought to be executed with the fewest possible foreign community people. To achieve this, assembly systems that require minimal carpentry skills are implemented, suitable materials size for one or maximum, two people are proposed and prevailing knowledge building techniques are implemented in the current context.
