INTRODUCIÓN En este documento se presenta los talleres de diseño, realizados en el pregrado de Arquitectura de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana en Medellín, Colombia. La carrera de Arquitectura está dividida en 10 semestres, distribuidos en 3 ciclos, como lo es el ciclo de práctica, ciclo profesional y ciclo básico disciplinar.

Se presenta el portafolio de carrera desde los últimos semestres cursados, hasta el primero, con el fin de poder mostrar la comparación y el proceso que tuvo estudiante a través de los diferentes retos de desarrollo dentro de la carrera.

Los diferentes talleres a presentar se desarrollan por medio de un análisis preliminar sobre un estudio de caso, el cual genera la idea sobre que se va a tratar en el semestre, posterior a ello, se continua con la etapa contextual, desarrollando un análisis urbano sobre el lugar y el lote asignado, por último, se continua el desarrollo proyectual, el cual contiene: idea básica, anteproyecto y el proyecto final.

INTRODUCTION The document below presents the academic work carried

out since 2015.01 until 2018.01, which leads to the seven semesters studied that make up the Architecture study at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in the city of Medellín.

The sample of different academic projects developed in the subject of Project Workshop is presented, where the conceptual and contextual competences are generated according to their location and the use that is made. Likewise, spatial, structural and urbanistic competences are carried out, which complete the physical and internal hierarchization of a construction.

The document is shown in two stages, evidencing the different study cycles, which are postulated by the University, among these is the Basic Disciplinary Cycle, which focuses on the language of representation and communication in Architecture, having as base the conceptual supports and the 6

theoretical foundations that allow the approach to professional problems, unlike The Professional Cycle consists in the handling of being able to coincide a more complex and specific thought of the job inviting the student to develop a critical attitude and developers in different moments within the field of action.

Due to this, the comparison and the evolution of the design and construction processes in the different workshops carried out before, is presented as well, from the last semester to the first semester.

Tomando como referencia dichos lineamientos, el Programa de Arquitectura ha definido los Ciclos de Formación así: 1. Ciclo Básico Universitario 2. Ciclo Básico Disciplinar 3. El Ciclo Profesional 4. Ciclo de Integración

CURRICULAR STRUCTURE The Curricular Structure conceives the proposal of an integrated curriculum with base in the disciplinary, curricular and pedagogic referents, consigned in the Institutional Project (PI). This proposal supports itself in the Formation Cycles - Basic Institutional Cycle, Basic Disciplinary Cycle, Professional Cycle, and Integration Cycle -, and on the thematic Areas of the Architecture: Projects, Technology, History and Theory, Urbanism, Representation, and Research.

For these instances (Cycles and Areas) the formation main objectives and the learning goals are defined respectively.

They become explicit in terms of the general competences that should be acquired and completed in each academic instance, and that will be evaluated in the Thresholds of Verification.

FORMATIVE PROPOSALS –CYCLES The UPB has defined - on the Institutional Educative Project [1] - a guideline for the curricular structure of its entire undergraduate Programs, by formative Cycles. In order to define the basic structure and general formative proposals

by Cycles, the Progra takes it as a reference: 1. Basic Institutional Cycle 2. Basic Disciplinary Cycle 3. Professional Cycle 4. Integration Cycle 11

Workshop Hybrid Building Building type: Hybrid Building Project’s Name: Hybrid building as an Immersive Garden Cordinator: Federico Mesa Area: 1649 m2 Year/Semester: [2018.02] Location: San Ignacio Neighborhood.

Medellín. Colombia

Objective Workshop 8 it is the beginning in the academic period, which through specific methodological strategies of the workshop, you can verify the results in the learning and in the development of the levels of competences defined in the training process of a student.

The aim is to create the capacities in the project to: •To provide an integral and holistic response to an architectural problem, with clear environmental conditions, with a consistent response from the technique, urbanism, theoretical support, insertion in a specific socio-cultural environment, with sufficient clarity to communicate and express the project in all its levels of complexity.

•Demonstrate analytical and critical reading skills of the urban, social, political-economic, ecological and morphological issues that determine a specific place in the city.

The mission of this workshop is to be the moment where knowledge and skills of the disciplinary areas of the faculty are integrated in order to develop a hybrid building in the center of the city of Medellín 14

THEORETICAL SUPPORT What`s Hybrid Building?

T

Generic Knitting Habits Network

he hybrid building is a system which opens up to the city in such a way that it favors the contact of the inhabitants of the place and intensifies the use of the land by means of the mixture of uses. Thus, people begin to form different activities developing a new social behavior, projected in the hybrid that can be as diverse as a city, users and time.

What is a Garden ?

Identity / Memory

Diagram made by the author

The vertical / horizontal vegetative element is an urban imaginary constructed from the Garden and the climate. This is a latent and undoubted heritage component within the tradition and man-nature relationship, due to the topography, hydrography and climatic conditions of the Valle de Aburrá has not only become a leading element of the city’s imaginary, but also demonstrates and it is evident how each generation leaves a trace so that it is understood that this territory changes in different factors. It establishes the growth of customs and urban relationships that can generate both vertical axes and horizontal axes.

“Going through the city, as an act of inhabiting it, represents a continuous learning of the landscape that surrounds us. Observing and experimenting with this environment has allowed us, according to our history, to show the moment a population is living is a determined situation, its emotions and perceptions of a cultural daily life transmitted from generation to generation.

The Garden, understood as that representation of nature that we approach, transform, use and maintain, is a latent and dynamic register that reveals to a large extent the cultural landscape that we inhabit. Landscape that has been created with the influence of various factors, both local and foreign, and which in our case are reasons for study, since they show the appropriations that the inhabitants have over their environment through the garden.“ Jorge Buitrago

Methodology

Capacity

The vertical building specific workshop, born from the conceptual formation of three design exercises, being a Pavilion, Patio and Tower and Platform, obtaining structural, spatial, and compositional results, within the morphology of the center of Medellin, exactly in the sector of the Boston neighborhood; next to the memory museum the Pavilion is developed, conceptualizing the work of Doris Salcedo’s widowed house, El Patio, developing a film school, by means of two central courtyards which hierarchize the space of the equipment, and finally, La Tower and Platform focused on a school of training in arts and crafts developed in wood.

The scoping exercise of the Vertical Building Specific Workshop is an exercise in analysis and comparison in which students must go beyond the simple description of the buildings analyzed, and by comparing them, extract the essential themes of these architectures, “compare buildings equals to study and analyze them. We can analyze by focusing exclusively on the object we study, but we can also do so by opposing the first other building, in this way relationships arise that reveal aspects of both that would not otherwise have arisen. “

These projects are generated through a quick and concrete conceptualization, leaving as a result different exercises of programmatic development from the study of urban and social context, in the three different spaces worked. Since there are different equipments around it symbolizing the memory of a place, the atmosphere of a vegetative space which develops an entire internal structure, just as it was developed in the houses of the Antioquenos with their respective patios and backyards and an abstraction of different activities within the sector generating different uses in height focused on wood.

T

he pavilion of the Casa Viuda, located at the back of The House of Memory Museum, develops a memorial structure on the violence that has been generated through the 1950s and 1990s in Colombia. The pavilion is located in a thicket, generating the feeling of oblivion and burial in people who have died, at first it is implanted next to the Santa Elena ravine, leaving a space of transition and a direct access to the works, similarly, a central patio is obtained inside the pavilion by weaving the similarity in the morphologies of the Antioqueno and rural houses of the nineteenth century.

CONTEXTUALIZATI ON National School Pinillos

N

ational School Pinillos is located between 2 important road axes in the municipality of Mompox, Calle 18, which is a road link between the albarrada and the cemetery, and is where the main trade of the city, and Carrera 3 is located. (La Calle de Atrás) which is articulated together with La Calle Real del Medio, from the main entrance of Mompox.

S. XVI

Moment 1 Arrival of the Jesuits in Colombia

The Jesuits made an architectural transposition through the great magdalena river, starting with Cartagena in 1598, then in Honda during the year 1615, concluding in Santa Cruz de Mompox in the 17th century.

Moment 2 S. XVII Purchase of the Solar

In the year 1767 the King Carlos III of Spain, expulsa the July 31 to the Jesuits of Santa Cruz de Mompox for political reasons and religions. The construction of the “Pinillos School” began in 1804, where it would be the first university in the region and it would begin in 1809 with the use of University-University

S. XIX

Moment 3 The construction of the “Pinillos School” ends

On August 29 of the same year, after the start of construction in 1809, the “San Pedro” school was inaugurated, in the current location, recognized as the first university in the region.

1960 has the first structural re-construction, carried out on both levels of the building.

Moment 4 S. XXI Present

In 2010 a spatial restoration was carried out by the architect Alvaro Castro, adding on the back some stairs that connect the first level with the second.

The building is focused today as the use of the Pinillos Nacioanl de Pinillos in elementary and high school.

3 Moments Mass and Void

The building, as it is a cloister of the 16th century, contains a central patio, with a larger area than its side galleries, thus leaving a catalyst for less activity in the central space by the students.

The use of National School is changed to JARDIN INFANTIL.

MATERIALIZATION OF THE IDEA The realization of the basic concepts together with the evaluation process towards the building, creates the spatial idea projected towards the change of use in the building, thus developing the external dynamism towards the interior of the apple center in the Pinillos Children’s Garden. Due to this the lateral cloister is arranged where the gallery of spaces is concentrated, and in the central patio, 4 cloisters with different uses, being of Cloister Cultivator, Cloister Dining room, Cloister of Recreo and Cloister of Exhibition, all these related to the babies and children.

MedellĂ­n. Colombia

Objective The Workshop seeks to develop integrality in the design process through the design of a collective housing building, this workshop aims to formulate alternatives to the problem of collective housing in MedellĂ­n by incorporating concepts about living and the lifestyles of users.

As the main component of the urban fabric, the residential project is committed to building a city by vitalizing the street, generating spatial structures that are integrated into the context and qualify.

Formulate a comprehensive collective housing project that proposes theoretical concepts associated with living, with a high technical development and with a clear response of the project to the city and the context.

Methodology

Capacity

It will then be the project exercise to develop the one that will have the responsibility to relate, connect and make visible said contents. We understand that architecture must be produced with social commitment and with theoretical foundations that support it.

•To build a theoretical support on collective housing based on two fundamental components: the housing and city relationship; and new ideas about the domestic space in the 21st century.

Methodologically, the course proposes the simultaneous and complementary coexistence of a theory seminar and the project exercise. Each of them will have an emphasis on specific contents throughout the semester.

•To understand the context of the habitat, specifically that of collective housing in Medellín, addressing environmental, normative, historical, cultural, social and geographical issues.

•To propose a coherent architectural project in technical terms, to solve creatively a grouping system for the units that compose it, proposing a structural system coherent with the ideas formulated, defining the systems and technical facilities required for a collective housing project.

•Project housing typologies with a high degree of innovation and that propitiate suitable ways of living for the proposed users.

•Analyze through case studies, iconic housing buildings from which you can extract premises and concepts for the formulation of ideas that order the process of design.

•Propose new cohabitation schemes based on the analysis of the habits of the users and the social and cultural conditions of the place to formulate a system of collective spaces.

MATERIALIZATION OF THE IDEA The main idea comes from the abstraction of the urban circulations that are related in the commune 13, being these the connecting axis with the habits and their daily activities. According to this structuring element, the collective spaces and the different types of housing that will inhabit the interior of the building begin to be hierarchized.

PROJECT SYNTHESIS The urban circulations project focuses on a main vacuum. This being the component of activities where the habits of people in height are developed and distributed. In the first level there are collective spaces for both the users of the building and the immediate context.

4/10 Workshop Public Space Project’s Name : Eco sound lookouts Cordinator: Cesar Augusto Muñoz Year/Semester: [2016.02] Area: 3400 m2 Location: San Javier Neighborhood.

Medellín. Colombia Objective The public space workshop seeks that the student can design a space that is appropriate according to the topography, history and culture of the place and allows the connection of the inhabitant with the site, a design that responds to the needs of people through pieces of medium and small size strategically intervening a transforming fabric in the proposed area.

The following sections are developed as specific objectives: • Complete construction of the project incorporating in the final phase the results of the previous stages: analysis, basic ideas, preliminary project. configuration of an integral project of public space.

• Incorporate the technical variables in the developed project.

• Develop a detailed look at the public space based on a change of scale in the design exercise.

MetodologĂ­a

Capacity

This phase focuses its work on the methodology of the workshop in which students from continuous work in design present their advances to the body of teachers and students and through reviews and discussions derived from the positions and proposals that students make are configured continuous actions to define the project.

The scope of this phase, understood as a final semester exercise, is directly related to the learning goals formulated in the general program. In general terms, it must account for a public space project that incorporates the orders of the social, political and economic, aesthetics, the technical, the city and fundamentally the conditions of public spatiality. A project that allows to evaluate the competence to develop a public space, in a context and through an integral process.

In this phase it will be necessary to define the technical details of the project.

The project methodology will consider the construction of models at different scales that allow the validation of spatial and technical ideas. Drawings in different formats that also allow building the ideas that make up the project.

Cross Section

Echo sound lookouts was created by the fact that people needed a place where they could feel safe, and in addition to having some areas of stay, that each space fulfilled a specific character. It also contains access to all public thanks to the different ways that allows the user to move through the different ramps or bleachers.
