PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

During my degree I used to be part of research programs.I made part of projects related with sustainable Design, heritage architecture and social work. As an architect I have been involved in preservation and conservation of the architectural and archeological heritage through analysis and periodic visits to the buildings, monuments, and structure of cultural importance in the historic downtown of Cartagena de Indias. I am interested in how the Conservation promotes the sustainable use of a building and can make a building useful for contemporary tenants.

Project developed in 2020 in Cali, Colombia. The client request a three-level building in its first stage with the possibility of growing up to five levels. The building has parking lots on the first two levels and offices on the last level.

Zoning Diagrams

Environmental concepts diagrams

The building opens in all directions to take advantage of cross ventilation, allowing the winds from the Atlantic to get inside the project. Parking

A void is generated inside the building which, in addition to promoting cross ventilation, allows hot air to escape, generating greater thermal comfort inside the building.

Concept development

Public space

The growth of the building in another future phase was considered during the design, also taking the natural determinants so that the building had a high passive energy efficiency, variables such as the materials used in its construction, the architecture of the building itself, its orientation and the environment.

The project proposes a setback façade that functions as solar protection, allowing greater thermal comfort inside the building and lower energy consumption by air conditioners.

Vegetation is proposed on the facade, with the objective of filtering the CO2 emanating from the cars, resulting in cleaner air in the immediate surroundings. additionally, in the medical offices building, the vegetation helps to increase the thermal comfort in the interior of the building.

By approaching the building in this way, we find that only one of the two uses can continue to grow and in a way that is complicated to develop.

Building of three levels in its first stage (but with the possibility of growing up to five levels).

It should have parking spaces on the first two levels and offices on the top level.

For this reason, it is proposed to divide the building in such a way that both uses can grow at the same time and according to the client, based on the demand of the business.

Design

Abstract

The tour is one of the fundamental concepts to generate interest and spatial quality, the tour is perceived beyond the simple act of circulating through a given space, tour involves walking, stopping and contemplating. The project seeks to give value to the tour, transforming it into an articulating axis of the spaces and wants to highlight the importance of contemplation during the walk.

Project development

In this project I developed the theme of architectural spaces for the elderly, for the care, welfare and recreation of these.in the city of Cartagena there is a lack of equipment for older adults, they have become a population little taken into account when designing and building architectural spaces.

The project is a day care center for the elderly, as a necessary equipment for a community in one of the most needy areas of the city of Cartagena, the project is designed so that this population can enjoy and access each of the spaces of the place.

Taking into account the stage of life in which the users are, their needs are changing, there are problems of balance, vision, strength, difficulties in the joints, when examining these characteristics we realize that older adults live the time in a different way, they take everything more calmly, their walking is slower and they look up at their surroundings carefully.

Equipment

The project also includes the development of collective spaces, places to encourage the meeting of different groups, their appropriate growth and development; that is, spaces where it is possible the interaction of people of all ages around cultural, recreational and health activities (auditorium, parks, sports field and hospital equipment).

Structural Systems

The project has a portal framed structural system (columns and beams) with a two-way concrete slab mezzanine. The roof has a lightened system of pratt trusses, which support the Hunter Douglas roof through a system of purlins and braces.

• Cristian Almario

• Diego Torrecilla

• Manuela Uribe

• Andrea Baena

• Bibiana Pedraza

This project was developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT, the Mayor of Cartagena, Fundación Social and Findeter. The project proposes to develop urban and architectural design strategies that are shaped by the interactive ecology between the community and nature in order to genereta a balance.

Project development Program

The main objective is to develop the natural evolution of environmental ecosystems and the development of productive activities of the local population. The workshop was formed by the project coordinator Lorena Bello who is a professor at MIT, two students of master’s degree in architecture from MIT and a group of 8 students from the University Jorge Tadeo Lozano, had a duration of 2 weeks and for its completion was presented to the community.

The intervention is given around of the main waterway of the sector, a linear park was projected with the objective of carrying out a ludic-pedagogic tour, where collective, productive and recreational spaces are offered, through which the community is educated to the environmental care and preservation of their surroundings.

My participation in this project consisted of two phases. The first phase consisted of characterization interviews and interaction with the community to map the sector, the main problems and generate design ideas. In the second phase I prepared planimetry, sketches, design sections and photomontages.

04 rehabilitation: santa catalina bastion

Project characteristics

The project is located in the historic center of Cartagena de Indias, declared as Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanit by UNESCO in 1984

The intervention consists of adapting the spaces of the bastion of Santa Catalina for a museographic project taking into account the context, exterior and interior areas giving a correct and optimal use of the spaces without affecting the monumental heritage.

The elements that are handled as exhibition modules and furniture take up the geometry of the solids that make up the fortified complex, such as: the walls, bastions, castles and breakwaters.

Longitudinal section

Exterior

Generate uses in these areas Furniture, telescopes, information point Improve accessibility in interior and exterior spaces for people with reduced mobility through the use of elevator and hydraulic platform.

Interior

Adapt the interior areas for a museographic project with the use of exhibition panels, projectors and adequate lighting.

Exhibition modules

Modules were designed for the gallery of the cisterns and the interior of the bastion.

LAGO DE GRAS

El volumen arquitectónico se implanta en una mina de diamantes a cielo abierto denominada DIAVIK, ubicada en una isla dentro del lago de Gras

Design ESTUDIO LOCAL Team

With this project we wanted to raise awareness about mining activity, using as a case study the extraction of diamonds, which generates irreparable ecological damage to the planet.

The architectural intervention seeks to open new spaces for reflection on the environmental damage caused by mining in the territory.

Project Characteristics

The architectural volume is implanted in an open-pit diamond mine called DIAVIK, located on an island within the Gras Lake.

The ecosystem of Lake Gras is unaltered.

Buildings and roads start to encroach the zone.

The building is presented as a journey that connected the unaltered natural landscape with the devastated landscape of the mine.

One of the open pit mines becomes visible and the complex takes shape.

Construction of a second mine starts.

Visitors begin the journey from the surface, where a platform located in the lake allows them to glimpse the beauty of our planet, the light, the harmony of the landscape. The platform quickly tilts, like a scale tipping into the abyss, leading visitors into the mine.

Being able to contrast the two realities of the environment by allowing a glimpse of the interior of the mine from the surface of the lake makes the proposed slope a point of deep reflection.

The ecosystem has completely changed and the lake is polluted.

In principle the unaltered landscape represents life in balance, but as we destroy the territory with interventions in which the scale of the damage can only be compared to the size of the excavations, we alter this balance, ending little by little, stone by stone, with the life of this planet.

This line, now lifeless, without any movement, translates into a building that seeks to draw visitors into the devastation of what was once a lake ecosystem. The first mine is a few years away from the end of its useful life* while the construction of a third mine is on the perimeter.

*The useful life of open pit mines is limited, approximately 15 to 20 years, thus requiring a new and significant expenditure of resources for the creation of a next mine in a short period of time.

In that order of ideas, how many mines will be enough? How far will we be able to go in the search for particular benefits over collective ones?

06 ventanas a la eternidad: memorial monument

Design ESTUDIO LOCAL Team

• Juan Felipe Pantoja

In 2018 a terrorist attack occurred at the General Santander Cadet School, an attack that took the lives of 23 policemen and set up a painful moment in Colombian history. In honor of those heroes through a contest we designed a monument called Windows to Eternity to commemorate their lives. The monument was built and later inaugurated by the president of the Colombian republic in 2019.

Monument - Concept

The main monument is located at the end of the park line as a way of closing the route, representing the culmination of a stage that is life and opening a window to God.

The monument is conceived as an extension of the park, representing through its ascending form the relationship between God and man. The monument starts from the ground, which represents our nation, and gradually begins an ascent towards the sky, symbolizing the connection that man has with God.

It is composed of three foundations to represent the union and brotherhood as the fundamental basis of the colombian police.

God and Nation Brotherhood

Cross Section

Urban planning proposal

First of all, we wanted to change the perspective of the intervention area through a linear park that vindicates life, which is reflected in the proposal through the vegetation and the way it finds its way through the adversity and harshness of the asphalt.

We decided that the main monument would be located at the end of the linear park, as a way of ending the route, culminating that stage that is the life and opening a window to God.

With this proposal we wanted to pay tribute to the heroes who lost their lives in the terrorist attack of January 17 at the General Santander Cadet School.

archaelogical management plan and restoration: san francisco convent

Project Manager

Graphics and Plans:

During this project I was involved in the identification of the ancient structures (walls, footings, columns and floors), I contributed in the evaluation of the materials and how they were built, aditionally I made and prepared the archaeological and architectural planimetry and the graphics representation of the archaeological management plan.

Location

This project is located in the historical center of the city of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, declared by UNESCO as Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1984.

Project Characteristics

The project consists of the restoration of the cloister and church of San Francisco and its surroundings for the construction of a large-scale hotel project. Due of being located in an area of great historical value, a special management and protection plan was approved by the Ministry of Culture for the restoration of the architectural heritage of the cloister and church of San Francisco and the old temple, and therefore an archaeological management plan had to be executed as a first step.

Initially, studies and statigraphic excavations were realized in order to show the construction stages of the building and its characteristics in each period, from which the evolution and successive transformations of the building were recreated. In the study area, vestiges of the old San Francisco Church and the Veracruz temple, built in the first half of the 16th century, were identified.

Top View

The ancient structures allowed us to identify the spatial configuration of the church and its evolution with which we recreated evolutionary hypotheses of the building.

Archeological excavation zones.

Stratigraphy

Throughout the excavations were found different levels of floors of different materials, the most predominant is the red brick with a pattern called fishbone, because the city was founded in a very humid region, it was necessary to take measures against moisture, one of the most characteristic was to raise the floor level of the buildings, using debris, so as to be above the water table, so it is normal to find in the buildings different levels of floors, traces of foundations and walls, which are testimony of its past history.

Ceramic fragments and glass fragments associated with the colonial period were also found during the execution of the archaeological management plan.

Floors and Occupation Surface Analysis

Colonial Cemeteries

Initially, in the archaeological research and analysis , there was a low expectation of finding evidence in good condition of the constructive evolution of the conventual complex, since four movie theaters were built on top of it fifty years ago. However, in addition to finding traces of ancient structures, human burials began to appear very quickly.

During the archaeological excavations, several burias dating from the 16th to the 19th century were found in and around the buildings. A good number of children were found, which in those contexts is not so frequent, but they were lucky enough to excavate an exclusive area for the burial of infants and historians found reference to the fact that unbaptized children could not be buried inside the church, so a place was designated outside but at the same time close to it.

Plan Indicating location of burials

Numbers

Nearly 1,000 individuals buried over more than 300 years in nine burial were found in the San Francisco convent complex, which functioned between 1580 and 1900, were extracted.
