Project Type: Program Resolution Purpose: Resolution of 3 programs of similar area, but different characteristics. Tools: Revit, Enscape, Photoshop 03 Focus on the process towards the “resolution of 3 programs of similar area, but different characteristics, as well as architectural ideas contained in a 12x12x36m prism. Understanding the implications of programmatic aspects in the spatialization of particular functions. Propose different spatial, functional, formal, vertical grouping and architectural image schemes consonant with this era. The location within this abstract container is 04
intended to concentrate efforts on the design of spaces and their specific components and resolution. Three programs include gym/spa, library, design institute. This is the design institute chosen from three proposals after comparing.
