Architectural Project VI Profesor: Ángela Juarranz Serrano Author: Kamil Urban

Analysis Location of the mine project is a district in the east part of Buenos Aires dedicated mostly to state facility buildings and harbor. Huge monumental buildings and wide streets together with industrial areas creates unpleasant space for humans. Lack of human scale makes us not want to walk there. Space is dominated by cars and huge empty areas. Illusionary green areas enclosed in privat plot areas with no access for the public.

Idea

Main idea for my project is to work not only in the scale of the plot but in the scale of the whole district by providing a human scale space which will introduce movement and activities. Using the program of the project I want to create a space where public, private organisations can meet with state organizations not in an artificial way but in everyday coexistence.

Concept development

To create a human scale space I decided to divide the area of the plot into two squares with different functions. Then I placed pavilions perpendicular to the direction of the street to provide live into those parts of the plot. Last part was to extend the existing line of the building by placing an office part of the building which creates an elevation from the street.

Plazas Creating sport and restaurant squares inside the plot.

Pavilions Providing life to interior parts of the plot. Emphasizing plazas.

Offices Extending line of existing building.

Creating a street facade.

Volume Different heights and depths reduce the perceptible scale of the building.

Construction solutions

Building raised up in reinforced concrete frame structure. Concrete skeleton is responsible for holding main loads. Slabs in beam technology lie on a framework structure.
