Porpuse:

Location:

Area: Transport equipment: Barrancabermeja, Colombia. 85000m²

Project scope:

Design an intermodal transportation system for the city of Barrancabermeja to organize intermunicipal transportation and encourage the use of rail transport as travel alternatives within the territory.

The design of the intermodal transportation equipment involves creating infrastructure that integrates different transportation modes, such as railways, buses, and other urban mobility means.

This system will provide a smooth and effective connection between various points in the city and its surroundings, thus facilitating citizens' mobility and reducing traffic congestion on major roads.

To encourage the use of railway transportation, measures will be implemented to promote its accessibility and comfort, including station improvements, expansion of the railway network, and optimization of train schedules and frequencies.

Volumetric concept

Drawing inspiration from the graceful form of the iguana, a significant emblem of our city, our design embodies fluidity and agility. Through meticulous morphological interpretation, our proposal elegantly integrates pronounced curves and subtle elevations, capturing the essence of the iguana's anatomy.

This design not only pays homage to our natural heritage but also represents a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, reflecting our commitment to innovative architectural solutions.

"Adaptation of the morphology of the iguana through the envelope of the equipment."

The external connection is accessed from the western zone through Module 1 (Railway Station) and from the eastern zone via Module 2 (Shopping Center).

Fixed Point Type 2 is located in the center of floor 1 in Module 2 and consists of two escalators. Fixed Point Type 1 features two elevators and two U-shaped staircases with landings around the elevator.

Additionally, Fixed Point Type 3 consists of a linear staircase with two landings, accompanied by two elevators on its side

Location:

Area: Apartment complex Bogota, Colombia 11.000m²

Project scope:

Through the development of an apartment complex in the locality of Santa Fe, specifically in the Las Cruces neighborhood within the San Bernardo sector, the aim is to revitalize the area and provide suitable housing for low-income individuals.

This project not only seeks to address the need for affordable housing but also aims to contribute to the overall improvement and development of the local community.

In addition to the focus on social housing and neighborhood revitalization, the project incorporates sustainable design principles to minimize its environmental impact and promote long-term resilience.

Features such as energy-efficient building materials, green roofs, and rainwater harvesting systems are integrated to reduce energy consumption and promote water conservation.

Furthermore, the inclusion of public transportation facilities and bike lanes encourages alternative modes of transportation, reducing reliance on private vehicles and mitigating traffic congestion.

The urban design of the exterior spaces is carefully planned to enhance community well-being. Public plazas and gathering areas serve as focal points for social interaction and cultural activities, fostering a sense of belonging and cohesion among residents. Street furniture, public art installations, and landscaping elements contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, creating an inviting and vibrant urban environment.

Points of interest

Functional and compositional

Initial volumetry

The space distribution is organized into three square modules, centered around a central axis. This layout maximizes efficiency and accessibilitymaintaining a cohesive design.

Rhythm | Subtraction

The volume will be modified to create spaces for gardens on the terraces, allowing for the integration of greenery and agricultural elements into the design.

Polycubes

The facade will undergo a dynamic transformation through the addition and subtraction of architectural elements. Involves strategically adding new features such as balconies.

Area:

Country park Barrancabermeja, Colombia 75.000m²

Project scope:

The architectural and conceptual proposal for the utilization of a vast green area in Barrancabermeja focuses on creating a comprehensive family recreation space.

Leveraging existing bodies of water, we will design kiosks and resting areas, along with hiking trails and recreational zones for children. A multifunctional event hall and restaurant will be included, integrated with local materials and sustainable techniques.

Sustainability will be prioritized, with a focus on preserving the natural environment and implementing eco-conscious systems. The vision is to create an iconic destination where families can enjoy unforgettable moments in harmony with nature and the local community.

Project scope:

Focused on innovative and environmentally friendly solutions for the design of common areas and utilities within a residential condominium.

In alignment with our commitment to sustainable development and community enhancement, this competition seeks to inspire creative approaches that integrate renewable energy, local economies, and cultural preservation into the design of shared spaces.

Our project in Moniquirá revolves around two main ideas: the implementation of solar panels to promote renewable energy and the establishment of a commercial space to boost the local economy.

Solar panels

Their elegant integration into the design adds aesthetic value to the project integration of solar panels into architecture represents a crucial step towards a sustainable and environmentally-friendly future.

The use of solar panels on the terrace is not only a pragmatic choice, but also a commitment to sustainability. These panels not only reduce the building's carbon footprint, but also provide a clean and renewable energy source.
