ABOUT

I am an Architect and a Graphic Designer with a master's degree in Sustainable Architecture who graduated in December 2019.

I have an emphasis on Urbanism and Planning architecture (Pontificia universidad Javeriana, Cali, Colombia), the capacity of vision and spatial synthesis, the ability to propose efficient solutions in front of unexpected situations and interest in the development and consolidation of the city from an integral view. Looking to design according to the context focusing on a social, historical and typological view with the purpose to enhance the relationship with its surroundings.

Always designing from the urban space in response to the needs of the city and the environment, additionally, I had study Graphic Design in Colombia before coming to Torino.

I assure you that I am a very committed worker, willing to apply the knowledge gained through my university career and projects, also a person who learns very quickly and adapts very easily to any work environment.

MOBILITY SYSTEM A’

In order to favor the new flows within the new urban fabric, the tramway line was prolonged along the old track of the railway was moved and buried below the central spine, moreover, to facilitate a movement within the area, the existing cycle path along the river was also reorganized and a new runway was planned which runs along the central axis of services to facilitate its achievement.

A

The project involves the construction of new roads and new block networks that are mostly regular and are situated on the hilly course, the idea is to develop the extension of some existing routes to facilitate the connection between the new urban fabric and the existing one and reconnect the latter to the river park.

As far as the old Modrany station is concerned, it has been integrated into the new urban fabric and it is planned to restructure and refurbish it inflexible space at the disposal of the society and reorganize the surrounding space in favor of the organization of events.

The elevations that are present on the topography are reinforced by the fact that the blocks have strategic facades that includes stairs and ramps positioned in favor to create spaces in which pedestrians are invited to pass through dynamic and continuous paths.

CONCEPT

CORE HOUSE ABOUT The challenge consists of the design of a “fully pre-fabricated� house that allows the incorporation of local building materials and techniques in the design; designs could be fully, partially or not prefabricated with a clear aim towards ease of construction.

Plot

The idea is to take into account climatic conditions, for example, the integration of storage tanks for rainwater collection, environmental Toilets, attached or detached, the budget is one of the most important inputs of this project thus the total cost of the project should be of 10,000 Dollars.

EXPANDABILITY, SCALABILITY & SUSTAINABILITY FROM THE SHELTER TO THE SETTLEMENT

The “core� Is the most hierarchic element among the modules; it connects all the single pieces of the house into a single unit.

The modular composition allows the units to be compact and more resistant to the wind force. Each module is structurally independent. They are elevated from the ground to avoid flooding. But they also have floating devices (barrels) underneath the platform, that will allow the modules to float if the water level rises.

Energy and waste disposal strategies considerations are to design a system that is easy to plug and unplug depending on the weather situation but at the same time needs to be ecologically and friendly.

THE WATER FRONT ABOUT

CONCEPT One module + Mani combinations 6m

The project consists in the rehabilitation of an abandoned port, taking into account these concepts: A. FLEXIBILITY: is one of the most important features of this project because the structure is modulated in a way that its possible to move, remove or built new spaces if it is needed, to enlarge spaces or reduced them.

This feature is an important quality of the project because people can expand their homes as they expand their families buying other modules or building them on top.

B. PARTICIPATION: It is important to embrace and generated interactions between all the programs in the building encouraging the relationships between neighbors and workers so that everybody can share spaces; the idea is to promote external people to come to the building because of the program that the building offers.

C. LEISURE: Architecture needs to create spaces where people can recreate themselves, spaces that are completely dedicated to leisure thus in this way people can become curios and interact with neighbors and kids can play in a freeway.

HOLISTIC APPROACH

1. Use Renawables: Solar Panels Principal use: heat rainwater

2. Use Renawables:

*

Rain Water reuse, generation of internal heathers distributed by bombs.

3. Reduce Demand :

by Isolation, Doble Facade vegetation along the panels, natural cross ventilation.

Co2 : decrease of more than 50% because there is no combustion.

This project is an opportunity to enhance the villages of Yubune, Yubune Gonose, and Yubune Hakayama (Japon) and generate an interaction between the heritage buildings, the tea plantations and the local tourist facilities that are being developed, the idea with the following analysis is to understand that there are three notorious times of constructions.

5. Leisure 3. Leisure 2. Culture Area of Contemplation

The purpose of the scattered hotel is to take advantage of this antic constructions not only because they could be attractive for tourism, but also because at the date several of them are empty structures which had been neglected by the locals and their government.

The project is intended to take advantage of the existing structures to highlight their potential turning them into the most precious attraction of the scattered hotel.

Furthermore, the principal investors and collaborators will be the locals; so they will be the first beneficiaries thus they will benefit from the project and moreover they are the ones that care about their own houses, properties, and territory.

KEY MAP - USES

The design of an Albergo Diffuso implies the land uses identification, thus they play an important role in the intervention, therefore, the identification of the volumes: 1. Reception 2. Rooms 3. Communal living spaces 4. Dining areas 5. Services The ma jor issue of this relocation of uses is the location of the common areas in a central site, that in this case is Yubune because the walking distance between the main building and the accommodations must not exceed the 200 meters it is required by the regional regulations.

At this stage of urban preliminary design, the draft aims to identify the possible accommodation and the location of the rooms (bedrooms, bathrooms, restaurant, and common areas) for each building.

On this section it is shown an example of the mobility of the master plan, which includes the Main roads, pedestrian paths, bike paths and the contemplation areas that make part of a series of open spaces disposed to the common use.
