![]() The different accesses to these spaces are located along this "crack".Ī seemingly contradictory hybridization between the Precolumbian labyrinthine organization, and the fluid, dynamic contemporary space, is explored in the interior. A crack or flaw breaks in this volume, separating the museum and conservation spaces from the ones dedicated to interaction and learning (workshops, meeting rooms, and services). It retakes its rectangular geometry and compactness. The project is implemented practically on the ruins of what was its predecessor, destroyed by an earthquake in 2007. A site museum, as the Paracas, acquires the additional challenge of having to integrate into the landscape that was the cradle of this culture, which is now part of the most important biological and landscaping reserve of the Peruvian coastal desert. ![]() Published in: Arquitectura Viva 211 - 2019 / Architectural Review 1449 - 2018 / A+U 568 - 2018 / C3 392 - 2017 / Casabella 867 - 2016 / Summa+ 154 - 2016Īn archaeological museum must find the delicate balance between heritage conservation exposed and release to the public. ![]() Prizes: Woman of the Year Award for Sandra Barclay / Leading Culture Destination - LCD Award / Best Architectural Design Prize - Bienal Panamericana de Quito BAQ 2016 / XII Bienal del Perú - first prize - culture building Five typical units are assembled within this square to produce a great variety of open but protected spaces for students and faculty members, with facilities like informal reading spaces, cafes, meeting rooms, and reception. The facility is conceived as an extension of the arid forest of Carob trees that characterize the northern Peruvian desert, providing shade in a hot and dry climate.Ī new generic classroom and faculty offices in the University of Piura campus is the opportunity to give the students the needed space for informal learning between classes, potentiating wide open circulations protected from sunshine and glare.Ī constellation of 11 buildings is linked by a system of ramps and alleys, courtyards, and gardens within a square perimeter of 70 x 70m. Prizes: Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize 2018 / Obra del Año 2019 (ODA award) Archdaily / XVIII Bienal de Arquitectura del Perú - 2018 - Hexágono de Oro When the renovation was finished, the former 50 m² apartment had 75 m².Classrooms, workshops and faculty offices We also turned the pitched roof of the unit below into a flat roof covered by a deck, creating a balcony. The decisive element used to divide the new space is a woodwork volume that separates the living room from the bedroom and the WC.Ī ‘Santos Dumont’ stair full of cabinets was carved in this volume to provide access to the mezzanine, where we created, amid the roof trusses, the home office and lounge area. We eliminated all the interior walls that split the space into five rooms. When we analyzed the structure to demolish some walls, we discovered that what seemed to be a structural concrete ceiling was actually plaster, and above it there was a beautiful roof made of ceramic tiles and timber trusses supported only by the peripheral masonry walls. It was built in the 1960s and is located in the Santa Cecília neighborhood, São Paulo, right in front of the Minhocão highway. This penthouse apartment originally belonged to the building’s caretaker.
