5º Concurso de diseño en acero para estudiantes de arquitectura en Colombia-2014, segundo puesto : memoria.

Abstract

Learning based on problems, provides the students with the possibility of facing real problems of one sort or another, creating autonomy in the ways of approaching knowledge and the solution of a commissioned project. The 7th steel design competition ALACERO 2014, sought to encourage the use of this alloy as an economic and efficient construction material; to that end, it proposed the design of a "medium-height social housing" blueprint. The problem was addressed based on the guidelines given by the Education Project of the Universidad Catolica de Colombia School of Architecture. The project development was asumed from the problem recognition, the construction of guiding questions, and the implementation of the concurrent design with the purpose of generating a proposal that tends to improve the people's quality of life and sensitize the inhabitants on the virtues of steel as construction material. The manipulation of the metallic structure is conceived as an element of social connection that satisfies the demand of the city in a sustainable way, technologically advanced and clean.
