AMATITLAN MUNICIPALITY URBAN MASTERPLAN PROJECT AMATITLAN, GUATEMALA

This project is located in Amatitlan, a rural area that seeks to integrate with the urban environment and generate a positive impact on the urban fabric. Due to its municipal nature, it seeks to impose that great power and stand out within the sector. It also manages to generate spaces for coexistence and recreation for users. The facades are the result of the climatic needs of the region and seek to optimize the resources used. The volumes of the building play and intertwine with each other, generating a dynamic form that helps the operation and internal program as well as generates outdoor terraces.

This project located in the heart of Guatemala City generates an integration between two very relevant entities, the multinational company Xumak and the most prestigious private university in the country, UFM. As a center for new opportunities, a hub for emerging businesses and networking, this building seeks to combine these two and generate a center of opportunities at an international level. Architecture responds to each of the climatic and functional solutions of the buildings. The heights and colors are played with to generate interaction not only between the users within the project but also the facades. The design is permeable and creates life on the street by having squares and spaces that invite pedestrians to pass by and reactivate the local life and economy of the sector. Within the project there are a variety of spaces that manage to connect these people in spaces that encourage creativity through their design.
