The El Boquerón bus station is a rural equipment whose intention is to improve the connectivity of the Boquerón with other nearby towns, which allow entry to the study area, supported by commercial and social activities that allow interaction between the already built up area of the twon and the new urbanization plan proposed for peace, whose objective is the resettlement and reintegration into society of the population immersed in the colombian war Likewise, it is sought that this new equipment works as an icon project for the department of Guaviare

peoples that inhabit the region. For years, various guerrillas and armed groups have had a presence in the area, leading to forced displacement, violence, and human rights violations.

Indigenous peoples, such as the Nukak Maku and Sikuani, have been especially vulnerable to their armed groups. In addition, the control of strategic territories by these groups has threatened the cultural integrity and autonomy of indigenous the efforts to seek peace in the region, the lives of indigenous peoples has been a painful and complex reality.

Modern Housing Complex ECO CASSAR

Caldás, Colombia

The Ensamble project has as its purpose the design of an “ideal block”, having as its basic idea the creation of public and private spaces that promote relationships and social development within the community and its surroundings, for which the revitalization and creation of micro-habitats is sought that give way to a more direct relationship between people who inhabit the place, promoting public space from cultural, social and commercial activities

OPORTUNITIES

The great development of mixed uses activates the public space during daylight hours, in which it is planned to generate a large number of jobs in the area, thus increasing neighborhood relations and raising the status of the area.

PROBLEMATICS

• Auditory and air pollution due to

• Public space in poor condition.

• It does not have a large number of green spaces.

• commercial points.

INTENTIONS

• Increase the plant structure in the area.

• Generate spaces suitable for individual and collective development.

• Activate the edges and public space from social and commercial activities.

• Prioritize travel in active modes of transport, with zero and low emissions.

Low rise buildings

PUBLIC SPACES FOR THE PEOPLE

The quality of public spaces is directly related to the occupation, intensity and variety of social relationships that will take place within these spaces, since it will be able to generate appropriation by the user, which will increase the interaction and meeting of different communities and behaviors.

Inhabiting is shown as a place from which the identity of the space is sought from culture, customs and memory, giving way to experiences (conscious or unconscious) generated by the user, who is the owner of the space.

TIERRA BOMBA | URBAN PLAN

The master plan developed for the Municipality of Tierra Boomba, is based on the creation of suitable spaces for the good living of the community from a natural structure and architecture that communicates with each other for the development of the community in both public and private space. The new land planning development provides better communication through green paths that enhance the pedestrian’s experience with their surroundings.

Tuá proposes the creation of productive groups organized by blocks, which were developed in order to generate spaces suitable for living and collective and individual development. In addition, one of the objectives was to provide the community with productive housing where said users can develop different commercial activities that improve their quality of life based on microeconomics for the development of agricultural and artisan activities.

BLOCK | PRODUCTIVE HOUSING

A water collection system known as

the function of capturing water through the humidity of the environment through a condensation process, using a microwoven mesh that allows functionality throughout the structure. However, the developed system functions as a rainwater collector thanks to the roof that slopes towards the interior of the structure.

The Warka Water project aims to be a lowcost and sustainable solution to provide clean water in areas where there is no access to conventional drinking water sources, such as wells or pipelines. In addition to providing drinking water, the Warka Water Tower can also serve as a gathering place and community for local people.

Waste collection and collection centers are proposed per block, this in order to provide sustainable waste management. These strategic points allow residents to separate their organic and inorganic waste, encouraging the reduction, reuse and recycling of materials.

The implementation of these posts also promotes environmental awareness and the active participation of the community in sustainable practices. By converting organic waste into compost, a valuable

local agriculture and reduces dependence on chemical fertilizers.

PROGRESIVE AND PRODUCTIVE HABITAT

This approach seeks to provide rural communities with homes that not only meet their immediate needs, but can also adapt and grow over time. The proposed homes seek to provide ease of construction in future expansions and improvements, thus promoting sustainable development and greater resilience to the needs of users.

Tuá seeks a sustainable alternative to revitalize Tierra Bomba and empower its inhabitants, promoting a harmonious lifestyle with nature and its deep-rooted traditions.

CERROS OLIMPICOS

WORKSHOP

The idea contest organized by Pontifical Javeriana University aimed to create a representative architectural work reflecting how the inhabitants of Bogotá perceive the Eastern Hills Inspired by Albert Camus' ideas on the connection between humans and nature, our proposal highlights the spiritual and purifying significance of these hills for the city Just like the ancient Greeks saw Mount Olympus as a sacred place, Bogotá's residents view the Eastern Hills as a vital support that beautifies and purifies the urban landscape Our work aims to emphasize this relationship and promote a deeper awareness of the need to protect this natural treasure.
