URBAN HABITAT

Combination Of Natural Layers Towards Architecture

The Urban Habitat was the basis for the development of a school on the Chorrillos boardwalk. The substrata indicated design variables and spatial relationships, which create the building. From the rocky substratum, the structural idea is abstracted, forming a dozen plates that support the levels. From the nebulous layer, the idea of having a circulation suspended in the air is synthesized, so the ramp system is separated from the outside of the school and has direct contact with the outdoors. Finally, from the grass substratum, the idea of textures as a protective element of the building arises, for which a permeable skin is used for the entry of light and ventilation.
