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.

MASTER PLAN

PROFILES AND 3D

Network of parks seeks social articulation with the environmental system of the river

An urban reorganization is proposed based on environmental systems, uses and equipment

The river becomes a connecting element

TUNJUELITO RIVER SPORTS CENTER

LOCATION

The project is located in the eastern part of the sector where the Cemex quarry was formerly located, thus articulating the proposal for the rehabilitation and renaturalization of the Tunjuelito River with the sports and natural park in the new lake located where the quarry used to be.

ROOF FLOOR

The building functions as a bridge that crosses the Tunjuelito River, its public space consists of a network of paths and green areas with different recreational and sports activities along them, it has water mirrors which are fed by the channeling of the Tunjuelito River. . The public space aims to enhance the activity of the sports center with both natural elements

ANALYSIS

CONCLUSIONS

As a formal objective, the project seeks to be an articulating element between the space corresponding to the urban and the great natural element of the quarry park, on a social level it seeks to generate cohesion from the activity and be a meeting point.

FUNCTIONAL CONCEPT: CONNECTION

TO INTEGRATE: Different populations from activities that respond to social, environmental and recreational needs

ENHANCE: The characteristics provided by the location of the equipment

Interweave: Functional and spatial relationships between urban and environmental elements

SPATIAL CONCEPT: SUTURE

The building consists of three levels, the first level functions as an articulating space, and its fundamental element is the natural park on the edge of the river that seeks to make it functional while respecting its natural identity, the second floor is a transition element, and the third level corresponds to a site of transit, contemplation and activity.

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.
