HATILLO | Slums + Park + Colonial City

2021

2.

The Hatillo is an urban centrality and also a meeting place between the slums El Calvario, the Spanish colonial centre and a green area declared municipal park in the 90’s.

The proposal links this 3 isolated spaces through public space, creating a new set of buildings in front of the park. The public buildings and patios, helps connect the historical city with a more friendly and pedestrian way of enjoying a historical colonial centre.

CATIA - From Highway to a park

2021

>

The analysis for this area determined a disruption in the urban settlement caused by the existing highway structure, for that reason I proposed to connect the city thought a park inspired in the Boston Big Dig. The proposed buildings are focused into creating a cultural art axis, incorporating public and private investors as part of the strategy for economical feasibility.

The Inner Urban Space

2021

The requirements for this course were to explore the relation with the inner urban space of a 10 story residential building. Each student was assigned a plot and the exercise was to work with my neighbours to connect thought a patio. The assigned location is in front of a historical building. For that reason, the design creates a patio in different levels to enjoy the south view and create a new square with the neighbouring property.
