CEMENTERY PARK EL GUAYACAN
The municipality of La Dorada Caldas, Colombia, needed a new cemetery for a better spatial organization and in order to improve health in the city, since it could not be expanded because it was being surrounded by houses and main streets, in front of this necessity, a piece of land was allocated to the outskirts of the municipality for a new cemetery, but this would have an added value at a tourist and environmental level since it would be A CEMETERY PARK, which, due to its proximity to the neighboring municipality called Purnio and its strategic location in the highway that connects the cities of Medellin and Honda would be a point to capture the concept of PARK and a symbol of MEMORY for visitors and inhabitants .

DESIGN PROCESS
Three main points are proposed as the main axis within the terrain.
A main circulation around the three points located starting from the center of the of the space
A transverse axis connecting two more points covering all sides of the space
The space is articulated from a centrality, interconnecting the raised points through paths to make a less monotonous and more organic route
Thinking about the integration and respect with the landscape, the limits of the space would be vegetation on all the edges

Memory Thresholds
”Make memories present through the sensory experience in the path of the architectural and natural space”
Natural Elements indoors and outdoors prolong the path from one atmosphere to another
Use of elements that control the quantity of solar radiation inside architectural spaces and also outdoors, generating thermal comfort by always incorporating vegetation.
Provision of natural elements so that together they can generate sounds, aromas, and calmer environments

CONTEST RENOVATION LOS MARTIRES, BOGOTA
The need for an area in the city for business, cultural events, nightlife, leads us to propose a larger scale in the entire polygon, with dense volumes optimizing the place to generate more public space and create an iconic area within the capital of Colombia. .
The urban project proposes 2 super blocks which are divided by the 22nd street, generating permeable public spaces, which allows complete circulation of the place, through squares and parks. In addition to this, a parallel on the Caracas Avenue that allowing the access to high-impact buildings such as the hotel-casino, the area of bars and night clubs. .
