SUMMARY MOTIVATION LETTER

P. 3-8

P. 9-15

Studying architecture at Universidad de los Andes helped me recognize the influence, thus importance, of architecture in our daily lives and acknowledge the extent to which our identities are indelibly connected to the built environment. However, in these modern times, we face a myriad of social, environmental, and infrastructure challenges, which are even more acute in the Global South. Hence, architecture is crucial in shaping our society to envision a better future. To become a more capable/qualified professional in this field, I am eager to pursue further studies that will enable me to deepen my knowledge and contribute to meaningful solutions.

I am interested in the MSc Architecture track at TU Delft due to its diverse range of studios and integrated design, engineering, and social approach. As an undergrad in Civil Engineering and Architecture, the program’s versatility and the studios’ diversity are key factors that can help me broaden my field of practice and strengthen my academic and professional profile. Furthermore, being a world-leading university, I would be able to study, learn, and collaborate with top-notch professionals, which can nurture my career.

I would like to further explore architecture in highly complex and differentiating spatial conditions with a strong research component. Therefore, the studio Border and Territories can help me reflect on the intersections, relations, and limits within architecture in emerging territories and how robust representational techniques help to question this relationship.

Moreover, the Architecture and Dwelling studio provides an opportunity to explore the principles of housing design. It offers a chance to ponder how design can help foster social inclusion and sustainability and facilitate collaborations between private and public sectors to address the worldwide housing challenges, especially in Latin America.

Regarding a potential thesis project, I am interested in exploring two topics. The first is how obsolete infrastructures can be reimagined to create new possibilities within the design and architecture realms. The second is analyzing new dwelling forms in popular settlements and how a design-led approach can create new forms of living, improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of these places and reducing inequality.

SERVITÁ - 2023 -

LANDSCAPE / SOCIAL HOUSING / ECOLOGY

¿Is there a life after the quarry?

Servitá is located northeast of Bogotá at the foothill of the Andes mountain range. Its name comes after the villa once situated at the center of the lot, where just remains the main building. Villa Servitá served as a foster home and psychiatric center in the early 1940s and for almost 40 years as a quarry for construction materials. The extraction activities during this time modeled the entire mountain’s landscape, creating terraces, steep zones and waterways, among others.

The project pretends to become a social housing referent as it tackles, on the one hand, the city housing deficit and, on the other hand, dignifies social housing by providing high-quality landscape amenities. Therefore, Servitá is a project where inhabitants would be able to maintain a close relationship between nature and the city.

mountain range ecosystem and the urban environment, and its reduced footprint intends to diminish the effect on watercourses (basins), flora and fauna.

Multiple iterations of the general plan and the location of the towers were conducted with precise studies of the terraces, the steep zones and landfills to properly connect the entire project with low, cost-effective engineering interventions to construct a feasible project. Consequently, Servitá uses just the 8.2% (7.152 m2) of the total Developable Area (86.781 m2) and the 1.5% of the Gross Area (450.511 m2) of the lot.

Conceived of 16 towers, 25 story each, 8 units per floor with a total of 3200 housing units. Servitá is a high-density project that seeks to free soil to increase permeable areas that significantly reduce the loads of the urban drainage, work as a threshold between the

ARCHITECTURE OF EXTRACTION HISTORY OF THE QUARRY

107150 mE

The exploitation of the eastern Andes Mountain range has always been a persistent phenomenon in the history of Bogotá. Due to the increasing population and urban development, the mountains were subdued to extraction processes of sands, clays and gravels. For this project, a slope analysis was completed to identify the plain and steepest places to imagine possible settlements for the towers. Thus, understanding the existing terraces and the topography, the proposal seeks to diminish the engineer interventions and reduce the risk of falling materials due to eroded occurrences.

CONTAINMENT SLOPES MECHANISMS PARKS

Bogotá’s cordillera has always served as a bank of materials for construction purposes till its present day.

These extraction processes modified the topography, affecting the hill’s stability and increasing the risk of slope failure. Hence, containment interventions and slope stabilizations must be made.

To reduce the high cost of engineering interventions, the whole project is designed with a 63° degree gradient slope. This gradient comprises the optimal degree to maintain the stability of the slope. Furthermore, the project implements active containment mechanisms in high-gradient slopes where the distance between the terraces is insufficient.

STUDY CASES W.C.

The housing unit design was based on two premises: an efficient structural system and the relation between private and public space, which both study cases share a similar approach. Pedregulho Housing Development by Affonso Reidy consists of a modular structural system that results in a repetitive unit that unfolds almost infinitely. The Jiménez de Quesada Towers designed

by Diego Llorente have the same principle; the project uses an efficient constructive mechanism that allows the erection of tall buildings in a short time through a set of structural walls.

At a district scale, the Andes Mountain range is the main ecological corridor of the city.

It offers a vast ecosystemic biodiversity thanks to its altitude (from 2,650m to 3,600 meters above sea level). The six species of tree listed below correspond to the ecocline between 2,500m and 2,900m. One particular characteristic is that they attract birds, which means that a proper reforestation program could overcome the decreasing of fauna over the East Mountain Range.

RETORNAR AL AGUA - 2019 -

RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES / ARCHITECTURE

¿Can water be an articulator of the public realm?

The project consisted of designing a public space, equipment, and housing infrastructure based on the lecture on water in the territory to construct a new landscape. Through a series of exercises, the student would reach a proper definition of a project as each exercise unveiled different ideas of how to approach the project’s intentions.

The first, writing as a project, consisted of using writing to describe and define the project’s intentions through a series of reflections. The second, matter and detail, was about designing an element, a fragment, that could explain the entire project which could be replicated at different scales. Last, foundations, was an exercise to read the territory’s marks to understand how they reveal topography and urban settlements.

Retornar al Agua, el Sincretismo de Habitarla ponders on the unseen part of the water system of a city, the water supply infrastructure.

Consequently, the project seeks to understand how it works, its footprint on the territory and its relation with neighboring communities.

WRITING AS PROJECT Water is simple and mysterious; it is found at all scales and states; it is drop and sea, ice and mist; it is constantly changing, therefore it is transmuting, which makes it omnipresent. It murmurs when it touches a material, moors when it becomes a river, a reflection when it pools and time because it transforms matter.

Therefore, these exercises aimed to understand how the project creates a new reality, new boundaries, a new place, as Rafael Moneo states in Inmovilidad Substancial: Building implies the construction of a place.

The place is created through the lenses of the project, and it is the project’s intentions that unfold the scenery where it is located.

THE ACQUEDUCT SYSTEM SUPPLY INFRASTRUCTURE

The water supply system consists of three main components: the water reservoirs, the principal network, and the local network. As the city of Bogotá has grown, the water demand has pushed to new pieces of infrastructure to comply with the demand. Currently, three main reservoir systems supply water to the city: Wiesner, Tibitoc and Vitelma.

Moreover, four principal tanks, Suba, Casablanca, Vitelma and El Silencio, receive the water from the plants and then distribute it to the local network. According to the mapping process, the entire network is located in the upper part of the mountain range that borders the city.

THE LOT

The Casablanca tank was selected after thorough investigation due to its unique features and rich history.

Situated atop what was once a quarry used to produce building materials, the resultant topography comprises a barrier between the two neighborhoods. Furthermore, the construction of two tanks uphill has reduced its capacity, which represented an opportunity to intervene. In this sense, the Casablanca tank can establish itself as a landmark and an articulator in this way.

THE SPECIFICITY OF THE PLACE A similar exercise to the industrial photos of Bernd and Hilla Becher was carried out to comprehend the relationship between the tanks and their surroundings and how this infrastructure is positioned in the territory.

Through a photographic register of the water tanks, it was found that these structures usually have fences, are closed to the public, and don’t have any relation with their vicinity, which increases the perception of insecurity around them.

Therefore, working around the water tanks posed an interesting opportunity to reimagine, rethink and generate new relations as people congregate around water for multiple purposes throughout history.

On a territorial scale, to activate the public areas, a lecture on the existing water paths looks to reactivate and reconnect them. On an urban scale, the project proposes a series of small-scale urban acupuncture treatments, such as bollards, benches, and plazas in areas that can help connect the neighborhood and the surrounding communities. On an architectural scale, the element is a scalable, replicable object that serves as a landmark for the entire project.

EQUIPMENT MATTER AND DETAIL

The equipment was thought to serve as the custodian of the main public space located in the center of the project. Distributed in the four corners, these buildings are the filter to enter the water memorial. Conceived as a polyvalent space that can host different activities, material-wise, the building was designed to remind the extraction activities the place was subdued to. Therefore, the equipment façade is made up of gabion blocks, a material that attests to the mountain’s transformation and history.

SOCIAL HOUSING FOUNDATIONS The project acknowledges the architectural and urban characteristics of popular settlements, which differ from modern architecture regarding growth mechanisms, morphology, and typology. Following extensive research, the project compiles the main features: progressive construction, immediate relation with public space, and terraces that allow continuous relations with its surroundings and neighbors to replicate.

Five iterations of a 4m x 7m block with different floor levels, attached in infinite ways, resulting in an irregular, labyrinthic space.

Nonetheless, the outcome derives from a conscious, well-designed urban space instead of the sum up of individual constructions.

A first floor of commercial use is contemplated within the iterations as it is a common denominator in popular settlements where each family has a business.

ARCHITECTURE / PARTICIPATORY DESIGN / EDUCATION

¿Can architecture produce social change?

Situated in the Kédougou region in southeast Senegal, the project seeks to be a piece of architecture that can improve the community’s current conditions regarding social infrastructure, which can detonate multiple relations among the inhabitants, especially the children. The project intends to be a place that strengthens the cultural heritage of the different ethnic groups that live in the area.

According to the report Situation Economique et Sociale du Senegal issued by the Agence Nationale de la Statistique et de la Demographie, the Kédougou region has one of the lowest percentages of schools in Senegal. Therefore, the precariousness of education infrastructure in the region is understood as an opportunity that can boost the accessibility to education for many children in the area.

children can gather. This patio serves as a limit and a central place for all activities, surrounded by classrooms that are open to the center, allowing learning processes to be dynamic through internal and external knowledge not limited to traditional education but also horticulture, cultural heritage traditions, ancestral practices, among others. By doing this, the project aims to create rooting and strengthen the local culture of the Peul and Mandigues.

The project aims to teach students in different areas besides traditional education. In addition to the architectural program required by the competition, dry bathrooms and orchards have been conceived within the project to provide food sovereignty and consciousness to the school and children.

The project aims to potentiate cultural relations by providing a space transcending traditional education processes. This is reached by creating a central multi-purpose patio where the

DETAIL CONSTRUCTION PROCESS On the one hand, the proposal focuses on local materials to reduce the impact of construction costs, such as transportation fees, and, on the other hand, to contribute to local processes that may be involved in the construction sector. As a result, the project seeks to strengthen local construction techniques and empower the community as they help to build it.

As the community gets involved in the construction, it becomes essential that the project uses traditional patterns in different spaces and materials to generate a sense of belonging. As a result, a wood frame with local bamboo was placed in the divisions with traditional patterns of the Peuls and Mandigues (The two predominant cultures of the area). Finally, rammed earth was decided for the enclosure and bearing walls because of the feasibility of constriction as a cost-effective alternative.

LA UTOPÍA DE CAREX - 2021 -

RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES / UTOPIA - ARCHITECTURE

Imbued with a message from the past, the historic monuments of generations of people remain to the present day as living witnesses of their age-old traditions.1 The competition consisted of reflecting on the abandoned architectural heritage of the Hispanic cultural world. In order to accomplish this, it was necessary to locate, document, measure, and depict a building in ruins (raquis) and propose a utopia that would preserve its memory. Occupying a place means taking possession of it; it is an act of violence. In this sense, the proposal is conscious of the narratives that characterize the place and, simultaneously, is a catalyst for new paradigms of significance based on a collective generation of culture.

The Carex utopia reflects on the concept of death. Our architectural intervention takes place in the Bocachica canal in Cartagena, Colombia, which includes the military forts of San José and San Fernando de Bocachica built in the 18th century and the maritime space between them. In this place, we propose a ritual that will commemorate the dead of the people from the Carex society located in El Escorial, on the other side of the Atlantic.

The architectural interventions in the canal will allow the ritual to be carried out since we are not only interested in proposing architecture by itself but also in an activity that will fill it with meaning. In the different stages of the ritual, not only the departure of the dead but also the fundamental values that established the Carex society in El Escorial will be commemorated.

Therefore, this collective mourning lived through the rite will become a way of reminding the inhabitants of Carex what they share as human beings. Any hierarchy or social inequality in this society would be dismissed and delegitimized. Mourning will also create a notion of unity, collaboration, and empathy among those who have lost a loved one. In this sense, the intervention in our raquis will be an active agent in creating meaning and purpose in people, taking distance from conceiving architecture and history as static elements.

COLONIAL CARTOGRAPHY RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES

VICEROYALTY OF NEW GRANADA

The raquis are the forts of San José and San Fernando in the Bocachica channel in Cartagena, Colombia. These two forts were built in the 18th century by the engineer Antonio Arévalo in response to a prevailing need to protect the canal, which was the only entrance to the Bay of Cartagena. Protecting this city was vital for the Spanish Empire, as it was one of the most important political and economic centers of the Spanish colonies in America.

Because of its strong outward orientation, the architecture blends with the surrounding scenery. As a result, open spaces are more hierarchical than internal spaces. The architecture of San José and the ellipsoidal architecture of San Fernando were strongly determined by their characteristic location and the necessity of defense against ships arriving through the canal. For this reason, the San José battery, the San Fernando fort, and the marine canal that runs through it constitute the raquis complex. Our ruin is, in that sense, the relation between these three elements, which ultimately constitutes them and gives them meaning.

THE FORTITUDES DEFENSE MECHANISM

Today, the Bocachica channel remains the only entrance to the Bay of Cartagena because of its marine topography. In the viceroyalty epoch, the Spanish empire pursued a series of defense strategies that considerably altered the bay’s landscape to defend themselves from foreign threats. From dikes to rockfills, the Spaniards molded the maritime terrain like the works done in 1773 by Don Antonio de Arévalo, consisting of a continuous rockfill from Cartagena to the island of Tierra Bomba, closing the pass through this place.

Because the primary purpose of the military architecture was solely protection, these mechanisms used through the XVI-XVIII century were the base of the project design.

San Fernando and San José forts were conceived with meticulous, calculated lines of defense to encompass their vicinities as much as possible. Based on this principle and the lecture of cartographic maps specifically the Plano de la Canal de la entrada de Bocachica del Puerto de Cartagena de Yndias the area for intervention was depicted.

Finally, the Bocachica landscape was intervened through a series of rockfills to fulfill the ritual. The channel will no longer function as a waterway to connect the Atlantic Ocean with the Cartagena Bay but as an intricate relationship between the two forts where the Charon will navigate its waters, creating spaces of permanence and transit for the whole rite.

THE UTOPIA

UTOPIA - ARCHITECTURE

We propose a society in El Escorial, the epicenter of the former Spanish empire. This society will have the pilgrimage to the Bocachica canal as a ritual to bid their deceased farewell. This ritual seeks to commemorate death and remind El Escorial’s inhabitants of their society’s essential values. Thus, our utopia, once the fortress of an empire that resided on the other side of the Atlantic, will guard the principles, values, and spirituality of a society likewise situated in the distance.

This place will be visited not only by the departed ones but also by those who are grieving and those who need to remember the fundamental values of society. Upon arrival, the Charons and the Embalmers await. Responsible for taking care of the site and preparing throughout the year the necessary elements to carry out the ceremony of the Carex society.

A guide to the Bocachica canal, San José and San Fernando Forts presenting the story of the Utopia of Carex.

After a long journey from El Escorial, the inhabitants of Carex arrive to the Bocachica canal to bid a fond farewell to their deceased with a ritual that will remind them the fundamental principles and spiritual foundations of their community.

The deceased are received by embalmers at the San José fort, where they are prepared for their final journey across the canal. The embalmers are responsible to cover the bodies in order to unite them into a single collective body. They are placed on rafts manufactured by the charons that then head towards San Fernando fort.

Upon leaving San José, the ritual of passing the bodies begins. The charons are in charge of carrying the bodies from one place to another.

In San Fernando, the people of Carex are watching the passage and experiencing collective mourning, which reminds them of the values of equality, empathy and solidarity, fundamental bases of their society.

After the deceased arrive to San Fernando fort, they become memory, emotion and remembrance. On the upper floors, the citizens of Carex observe the passing of the bodies from the canal to the central tower, large crematorium oven, considered to be the axis mundi that connects the earthly with the divine plane.

The last moment of the ritual takes place in the south battery that borders San Fernando. Here people observe the charons carrying the ashes of the bodies towards the mangrove; characteristic landscape of this area that, finally, be the place where the souls will reside forever.

ANALYSIS OF THE RAILWAY SYSTEM IN COLOMBIA 2017 RESERACH METHODLOGIES - INFRASTRUCTURE

For years, Colombia has focused its public investment on road transportation, setting aside the other modes, resulting in the deterioration of its infrastructure. Nevertheless, despite the high investment percentages in this mode, Colombia has not advanced in terms of infrastructure, transportation, and logistics according to international standards. In this order of ideas, this work analyzes the actual condition of the railroad infrastructure, the benefits of goods transportation, and the potential logistic corridors based on georeferenced maps and the country’s local and global economic conditions.

of which 90% is coal. Finally, in accordance with the IDB, policies designed to reduce internal transportation costs would have a positive impact on exports, particularly in areas where access to ports is more expensive; ultimately, high levels of exports tend to reduce transportation costs since they generate economies of scale and drive investments in infrastructure improvements.

Concerning the above, it is worth asking whether the lack of development of railway infrastructure is due to a monopoly of the road sector benefiting the road mode, which prevents the development of policies aimed at promoting other modes of transportation.

In conclusion, the research raises a reflection on the investment that should be allocated to the railway mode due to the multiple advantages it offers compared to the road mode, especially in externalities such as congestion, environmental impact, and deterioration of infrastructure. On the other hand, the virtues of large-scale cargo transportation such as coal where, with only 1% of investment allocated to this mode, it mobilizes 27% of exports,
