This project proposes the revaluation and urban regeneration of a historically and symbolically significant site through the creation of a public and multifunctional space. It aims to enhance the cultural identity of the area, reestablish the connection between the urban fabric and the native heritage, and promote social integration through architecture and landscape design. The project emphasizes the integration of natural and built environments while fostering community engagement and memory preservation.
The project includes the development of several interconnected zones:
A commercial sector, providing economic activity and local commerce.
A dry plaza for public gatherings and events.
A pedestrian bridge that crosses below a highway to improve accessibility.
An accessible green terrace that functions as a public park.
A cultural sector, which may include spaces for exhibitions, performances, and community events.
Multiple parking zones, including an underground parking lot.
A gastronomic area to support local culinary initiatives.
A monument to the Indigenous people, acting as a central cultural and symbolic element.
The intervention promotes fluid pedestrian circulation, visibility of key landmarks, and accessibility for all users.
Structural elements: Concrete slabs and beams, metal structural supports for shading and pedestrian circulation elements.
Finishes and materials: Use of local stone, exposed concrete, and wood for warmer, human-scale finishes. Green roofs and permeable pavements are used to support sustainability.
Accessibility: Ramps and elevators are integrated to ensure full accessibility.
Sustainability features: Green terraces for thermal insulation, strategic orientation for passive ventilation and lighting, and use of native vegetation.
Infrastructure: Lighting systems, drainage planning, and support for future infrastructure like cultural programming installations.
