Final implantation
17 folies
Various factors are defined in relation to the architecture with the landscape. Land to define a network of buildings called folies around the lot.
The location of vegetation and buildings has been defined by the different intersections previously used in the lot analysis.
The defined element is the folie for its ability to bring flexibility to the designs, enhancing the heritage building, and the natural landscape and also ensuring that the buildings can be easily modified over time according to changing uses and needs.

New housing models
The roofs are designed for better air recirculation.
The windows act as protection, avoiding capturing more heat inside.
The roof contributes to the collection of rainwater that can be recycled by the inhabitants.

Cross section
Longitudinal section
After analyzing the area, it was determined that there was a lack of hospitals.
Due to the amount and type of activities in the surrounding area, a hospital specialized in physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation was proposed.
It is located between two main streets with great public transportation and secondary roads that will be used for the entrances and exits of the hospital without affecting traffic.
The proposal has 4 levels, which include:
Intensive care unit.
Commercial area
Emergency services.
Surgery.
Outpatient care.
Hospitalization
Physiotherapy rehabilitation zones with gym and pool.
LOCATION
Located in a small heritage town in Colombia, the proposal has been designed to respond to the necessity of tourism equipment in the place.
This town is known for its delicious desserts, which allowed us to design a market where tourists and locals can find the traditional gastronomy and the locals can have a proper place to offer them.
