GUASMO TOWER (24H Challenge)

Cooperation with: Nataly Arevalo
Location: Guayaquil, Ecuador
PROJECT ABSTRACT
Function: Multifunctional skyscraper, mainly residential; district enhancement
ours Exactly 24 hours took this project, as it was a 24H competition challenge! Without a parametric approach to the tower’s both: core and shell it would not be possible to achieve such a strong manifest for the city of Guayaquil. We believe such architecture would echo in any kind of media in any place of the world and that would bring all the financial and logistic support, that would be needed. This skyscraper would exhilarate all of the poor south of the city and bring potential investors and charity organizations. America, the new world, offers a fresh beginning for outsiders who need to be rescued by unsatisfactory life.
Height: 135 m Year: 2015
The site was chosen carefully thinking on an integrative strategy that will rescue refugee and it will regenerate the city. Guasmo neighbourhood is located in a margined area of South of Guayaquil, Ecuador. Social inequity in the area enhances the causes to design a tower that will challenge the existing highest tower being symbol of economic and power (bank). The tower simulates the hyper-dense neighbourhood typology as a vertical structure. The project aims to shorten the gap between beneficed groups and refugees and minorities. Page 59
