The importance of public spaces in urban projects and how it shapes them in creating the city were the basic premises for developing the concept for this project.
The intervention site results from a leftover plot where the proposal sought to establish pedestrian links that would exploit the permeability of the block. These connections, these voids, make the block permeable and regulate and define the built space where the three volumes that rise here are implanted, establishing a new urban continuity.
Three volumes were designed with varying geometries, creating a dynamic relationship with the surrounding environment. The project incorporates a combination of full and empty spaces, promoting a sense of community while maintaining privacy. The softened edges of the volumes add an organic touch, contrasting with the urban and industrial surroundings. The concept focuses on the interaction between spaces, redefining boundaries, and creating a distinctive aesthetic for the building.
The proposed structural system consisted of a concrete exoskeleton, accompanied by precast slabs to provide internal flexibility. The facades are composed of prefabricated concrete modular elements and permeable openings, occasionally filled with planters, with the aim of reducing the glazed area and creating a visual pattern on the exterior. The proposed materials ensure robustness and minimize potential future maintenance issues, guaranteeing good preservation.
