HYBRID VORTEX

Urban Intervention In Amauta Valley

Rimac, in its multi-strata condition, is a complex and cultural district in Lima. His characters and ways of inhabiting create different dynamics on various surfaces, reflecting urban spontaneity.

The conception of the project is based on this premise, understanding the multi-layer nature as a combination of fluxes which reach the territory itself as urban commands that encode the surfaces.

It is, then, the surfaces which function as a platform to settle the functional packages in the form of filters, enclosures and textures, which expose the essence of the spatial concepts of each programmatic space, and which respond to the way of inhabiting of the urban modifiers. Likewise, the project is understood under the concept of urban vorticity. The rotation of fluxes around an axis: a spatial axis that can take the variables of mass, void or vertical circulation, generate different vortices in the project that respond to the spatial coding of the program. These vortices are the spatial experience whose eye is defined by the character of its axis and its edges by the encoded filters.
