URBAN EQUIPMENT
The objective of this project is to work on the social, urban, technological, environmental and design spheres in architecture. From an integral project that mixes multiple scales in the development of a single approach, in order to deliver a proposal for an architectural facility that meets the needs of a vulnerable community.
The chosen locality was Tunjuelito, in this situations of social inequality, environmental problems, and youth integration problems are presented. The way to contribute to the solution of this problem was the approach of a sports center which would serve as a solution to these 3 facets by providing a space in which sports talents can be developed, reduce insecurity problems, serve as a space for environmental and social reconnection, while attracting investment to the sector.
ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSIS
URBAN PROPOSAL
URBAN DECOHESION DUE TO THE SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICT:
A physical and immaterial rupture is identified in the sector, which is evident between the connections of Tunjuelito, Ciudad Bolívar and a segment of protected area that is inhabited.

ACTIVITY AS AN ELEMENT OF SYMBIOSIS
The activity is identified as the element that will allow the integration of the fragments.

Due to urban planning issues, the maximum houses can reach 3 stories high plus a roof that can be used as a terrace, as a general rule the first floor relates the interior of the houses with the public space and the interventions carried out, additionally some In houses where the second and third levels are used for productive activities, a direct access from the first floor is planned, thus separating the access from the first floor to that of a fixed point that leads to the other levels and to the terrace. Another important feature to highlight is the fact that all the terraces are communal for the inhabitants of the houses, and those of new housing for the entire community, making them an integration space in which orchards or furniture for social activities can be established.
