Sara Aristizรกbal Jaramillo Architecture and design portfolio

Profile I am a person with a great capacity for commitment and I tend to take initiative in various situations, rapid learning and respect for the teamwork. Eager to learn and gain experience in the field work, I like challenges and I always try to respect the time of the other people and I consider it very valuable. I always give everything to achieve some goal and I like to see what happens if I give more than the bill.

I believe that whoever has the information has the power and that motivates me constantly to inform me about the advances within architecture making this a key point as a designer.

I stand out for my interest and persistence in my academic training; In addition, it is easy for me to establish relationships with diverse people and learn the best of them.

Academic training

I graduated from Jesus Maria School in 2015 where I generally excelled in sports activities.

I am currently an architecture student at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana since 2016. Before entering the undergraduate degree, i do an architectural internship at said university.

In the first semesters, I did a short sketchup course with a private tutor to later take advantage of the university credits to learn other programs such as Revit and Rhino. I did the 1: 1 vertical workshop where I was the leader of the design group, which helped me to take command and have a broader vision of the entire process of designing and building a space, forcing me to face tasks that we generally ignore in our student process such as budget, construction details and contracts; In addition, I learned the great complexity of working in big groups and propose solutions at the last minute. Later, I did an intensive rendering course where we learned to use Revit as a molding program and 3dmax as a vray environment program. As a research work, I began by analyzing the possible real estate trends of future generations, which led me to a result within collaborative spaces and acoustics as a factor that is determined by architecture, analyzing We Work as a case study and making a spatial proposal in the collaborative area in a Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana area.

My GPA is currently 40.03 / 50.0 and I just finished last semester.

ESPAÑOL. In the university we can observe that the most of the students under the influence of their favorite architect or movement, begin to manufacture the roots of their own architecture, which is evident in their projects. I would lie if I said that this is not my case, actually in part it is; About my projects, i don’t really admire a specific architect, because I try to get the best out of each one, and there´s no movement captures all my attention, but there are some tends that I´ve been unconsciously trying to rescue since, somehow, most of my projects look for an use of a same language and it is here, where trying to describe how I understand architecture, I realized that I am barely understanding my unconscious process as a “dream artist”

And maybe the union of all visions is my messy way of understanding architecture ...

Problem The project to be described is within the partial plan SantafĂŠ which is directly related to the MedellĂ­n river where its established industrial vocation, the low mixture of uses and the few living areas have made it a place of passage partially disconnected from the city and the human scale

Solution Make project decisions based on social connections on different scales.

Idea Multi-purpose connections

The density proposed from the standard is not used

MedellĂ­n, being located in a valley, must grow around the river that structures it not only because here we find the best equipment, the best soil and the best infrastructure of transportation, also because the phenomenon of growing towards slopes is unsustainable.

People Flows - Key Points in public space

Permeability at the first level

Identify the area that has the most direct visual relationship with the valley

Locate the building to the Northwest allowing the mountains to be seen from the public space

Form that suggests that the project embraces or welcomes users who come directly from the south of the living gallery walk

Dome as a sculptural element

Take public space to another level

Connect the project with the zoo and “ ciudad del rio “ through a pedestrian bridge

Public space imaginary

Solution Analyzing the program proposed by the workshop, it was commissioned to respond to a public use that in this case is a space for the performing arts where the cinema become the most important element of the public space since the usual form of this type is reinterpreted , proposing a dome that is circumscribed in a square water mirror that, in addition to enhancing the aesthetic quality of the dome functioning as a counterpoint, also begins to suggest the geometry of the first level.

First floor 14

Assessing the intentions from our partial plan, its proposed to let the first level respond to a 24-hour commercial activation and spaces for art academies, enhancing the social complexity of the sector. In addition, its proposed to extend the gallery lived on these first three public levels which is connected to the other side of the city and the zoo by means of a bridge that crosses the building.

Living gallery

Respuesta a la galeria viva 18

Considering the living gallery as our main connection on a partial plan scale. Where each project must respond to that space, i decided to implement a pavilion for art exhibitions. First we find an underground pavilion covered in a certain part by an electrochromic glass which will allow people who move from the living gallery to appreciate the exhibition from the public space without accessing it; On the other hand, considering that the gallery passes under the building, take advantage of this space to create a pavilion open 24 hours at day where urban art can be exhibited, becoming the point where the living gallery meets directly with the river park.

About form, i use a staggered strategy that simulates a mountain which will be divided into 3 fragments creating various public spaces on the upper levels

Materiality

Imaginary

As a materiality proposal, i make a building almost completely in white concrete to reduce the gains from the sun both from the color and from its thermal properties.

Combining this material with wood in some common areas to suggest a slightly more natural environment

Imaginario 22

The structure will be concrete porches with a maximum span of 14m with columns of 1.20cm x 60 cm and 70 cm beams forcing us to leave 4 m between each level to leave 60 cm of technical space and 2.7 m free.

Circulation

Residence Vivienda Circulation Circulaciรณn alternate circulation Circulaciรณn alterna/ / stairs escaleras fixed points Puntos fijos/ access / control Control de acceso

We have 3 fixed points located in such a way where any apartment is more than 45 m from the emergency exit. This vertical circulation is supported by a secondary circulation, where you find some stairs that connect the common areas at different levels. These stairs are in the middle of a corridor where some vegetation is implemented in order to create a natural oasis inside and this ecological environment filters into the typologies and reaches the terraces of each apartment.

“ We interact with a building: We meet it, we approach it and we confront it, our body interacts with it, we wander through it and we use it as context and as condition for objects and actions, etc. Architecture directs, scales, and frames actions, perceptions, and ideas. And, most importantly, it articulates our relationships with other people and human institutions. Architectural constructions materialize and give concreteness to the social, ideological and mental order “ Pallasmaa, Juhani. Habitar
