SITE PLAN - ABOUT THE PROJECT -

The Universidad San Francisco de Quito is an institution that promotes liberal arts education. The project is located at the entrance of the campus to the University.

Concept

The building rises as the main facade, so the project has a broad program that tries to denote the philosophy of USFQ.

Building

The building rises leaving the ground floor free so that the campus becomes an urban campus, a space that allows students and non-students to make use of the green areas of the university.

The building itself is conceived with the idea of being a space that demonstrates the multiple activities carried out at the University and the design strategy allows the spaces to be made more flexible so that their use can be adapted.

The architectural program contains: cafeteria, art galleries, pottery, painting and gastronomy workshops, auditorium, library and film library, reading areas, among others.

The section is an important design strategy in the project, you can appreciate the spatial relationships that highlight the conceptual idea of the liberal arts and the importance of expanding the knowledge of various educational branches.

Structure

The building functions as a suspension bridge, a group of diaphragms support a metallic structure that supports the floors of the building by means of tensors.

SITE PLAN - ABOUT THE PROJECT -

Location

The area where the architectural project is developed is a characteristic residential neighborhood for having independent houses, a remote neighborhood where the main means of transport and access is the vehicle.

Architectural project

The project is part of a residential complex with 3 different typologies. The typology designed has the peculiarity of being next to the main access of the project.

Terrain conditions

The building is located on a site with a steep slope.

Building

The house is distributed on two floors, on the ground floor is the parking lot and the social area (kitchen, dining room and living room); while on the ground floor is the service area and rooms.

Passive-house

The building is a project that promotes the use of alternatives to avoid high energy consumption. Each house has a small hydroponic farm and solar panels for the generation of clean energy.

Within the constructive aspect, due to the climatic conditions, the operation of the house in winter and summer temperatures must be considered, so that the house has natural ventilation, window profiles suitable for the treatment of thermal bridges and avoiding the loss of heat in the winter.

WOMEN’S HOUSE

BAGHERE VILLAGE, SENEGAL

The project is located in Senegal, its purpose is to create a house for women, to promote gender equality.

The structure is committed to a diversity of activities focusing on education, raising awareness, and developing the village with impartiality. The design idea is dedicated to the equality of women and desire to provide them an important role with activities to be productive in their society.

The building is flexible so it can resolve different need in terms of indoor and outdoor spatial necessity. The shape of the project is inspired by the bee panel due to the great performance of this community and its equality between female and male. It gives an importance to the female in the team, and even considers it as the leader of the community.

Looping in the program, indoor and outdoor activities are offered, the heart of the building is located in the central space, where a flexible program is proposed thanks to the creation of removable panels that are calculated to fit around the area providing the opportunity to create exhibitions, markets, meeting point anything that might be needed. A semi-open reading corner is proposed in order to expand knowledge, as well as indoor classrooms and a workshop where art crafts and conferences can be held.

The project’s versability is run by the concept to transform itself, is can be adjusted to any situation and place. The proposal adjusts in an economic and sustainable way, in order to serve the local people to build comfortable spaces, based on their culture and traditional art crafts, providing the opportunity for women to work in the village, and also creating spaces where they can share a community life.

SITE PLAN - ABOUT THE PROJECT -

Stage: The context where the project is developed is a research study for life underground n the year 2070. Living conditions on earth are impossible due to air quality, pollution, and the danger of radiation. Life underground, therefore, is the optimal alternative for human survival.

Mother-board: Within an investigation where the living conditions of the human being and the study for the viability of a life under the ground are fundamental, the data collection becomes the control instrument. The data collection and distribution center is the intangible connection between the different buildings that are part of the master plan.

Location: A data collection center has specialized equipment that requires a cooling system to stay in optimal condition. The project is located near the river so that water as a natural resource is used as a tool to cool down the equipment.

Building: The building program allows the classification of spaces into hermetic and flexible. The server space must be airtight due to the safety and operation of the equipment. The spaces for laboratories and research can be flexible with the opportunity for users to access the facilities. Flexibility and hermetic are the generators of the building, creating a concept where nature and technology are the central axes of the building’s configuration. Within the facilities, the program is configured around courtyards which are the ventilation, lighting, and circulation ducts between the spaces considered as flexible. At the base of the building are the servers where the equipment (technology) are the configurators of the space. The program is divided into 3 layers: IT Servers, Research, Public Area.

- ABOUT THE PROJECT -

The project consists of designing a suitable product for the context.

Context

The furniture is designed to be placed next to the river.

Concept

The concept for product development is taken from the flexibility and mobility of water. Water is the inspiration to generate organic furniture that considers hergonometry and accessibility for different types of users.

FOWAWA: Folding Water Waves is the name that the product acquires and the brand logo is related to nature and the movement of water in it.

Materials

Coverage: Skin-wood designs adhered to the main structure with construction adhesive and staples.

Structure: the structural wedges are plywood profiles. The general structure consists of 42 square structural wedges made with plywood profiles and covered with skin-wood. The structure is labeled alphabetically from outside to inside.

Base: WPC circular structure, to control water and prevent damage to the furniture.
