Proposal
The project aims to enhance students’ well-being by using a compact circular building design that ensures all classrooms connect directly to the native forest. This geometry also symbolizes a life cycle, respect for nature, and the democratization of public spaces.
Key Points
1. Converting the office director’s guidelines into the ultimate three-dimensional designs.
2. Conceptual development, digital 3D model, and draft renderings.
3. Sections and other technical drawings.

The architectural device is explored on a monumental scale, examining the public building typology.
The rotation forces the spatial system to operate in new directions and prompts the structure to change its materiality.
The windowless structure rotates once again, addressing the minimal habitable scale and creating ideal spaces for children’s activities.

The spatial design is characterized by folding elements that emerge from the ground. The architectural body rises to create open spaces at all levels, from the first floor to the rooftop, where the top floor ultimately interacts with natural overhead lighting.

In a year of confinement and reflection, “Secciones Primarias,” an artistic and architectural exploration project, emerged and evolved through experimentation. The project aimed to create a diverse catalog of sculptures.
Influenced by artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Constantin Brâncusi, Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar, and David Umemoto. After a pause, the project resumed in 2022, sparking new research and experimentation in design, art, and architecture.
