THE PROJECT The place choosen to the workshop is in Bogota close to the city center, in a place identified as an articulation lot between two neighborhoods (La perseverancia - La Macarena), characterized by the social segregation among them. As the main physical determinants are enunciated the presence of a market declared as heritage, the difference of more than ten meters between 4th and 5th avenue and the posibility of build eight stories height.

The architectonic concept propose the idea of spacial flexibility as an alternative to maintain current the use of the building along time, through the posibility of creating architectural housing types allowing comercial use on it joining them with a system of public services as a nursery or a market, with the intention of transform this complex as a point of reunion and interaction between the residents of the close neighborhoods.

Library In front of the main avenue is seted an elevated volume exempt from towers, thought for a public use, such as an adult educational institution or a local library.

Comercial Axis As the continuance of a restaurants axis that has been consolidating during the past years over Macarena neighborhood, it was decided to adecuate a comercial gallery with a homogeneous facade in order to keep regular parament.

STRATEGIES The project consisted in designing eleven schools located in a floodplain in the littoral area of Choco. The durability of 50 or more years with a high flood level was the first requirement, also there were rejected the idea of using wood as main construction material because of today regulations and the need of sending material to being immunized it meant higher costs for the project.

Design Development General views

Under these conditions the design process was oriented to understand the difference between the two working communities and their needs and claims, searching the way to unify them in a same structural proposal taking in account major fields as thermal comfort and cultural identity through form and connexion with the territory.

THE STREET AS A MEETING POINT The sudden availability of strongly defined public space on a stretch of 2,5 km in a relatively dense urban environment gives the opportunity to insert a new centrality that has the potential to become a destination in itself - symbolizing a new kind of liberty in contrast with the 20th century ideal of liberty linked to the private individual means of transport
