PROBLEM
We have a "great vacuum" chaotic and dysfunctional caused by growth little successful in tracing both applications.
Different public endowments have created strong architectural barriers for citizens, since the equipment should not belong to what was initially going to be the great civic PLAZA of the GRAN SAN BLAS".
We're talking about parts as police, firefighters, the canton of cleaning or the building with original use of Union building that are causing a great internal lock.
On the other hand, street which connects North South, divides the area as the sport of the dotacional public, reinforcing that fragmented character currently plaguing the area.
Consequences:
1 DISCONNECT
2 DEPOPULATION 3.-INSECURITY
4. GROWTH 5-ROAD BARRIERS LIKE WALLS THAT SEPARATE NEIGHBORHOODS 6.-TOO MANY SPACES INTENDED FOR VEHICLES
RESIDUAL SPACES
As the following analysis observed that defragmented the set of existing buildings position prevents generate large spaces that allow the activities required by San Blas: the civic PLAZA they never had.
These pieces, along with other road connection problems, etc... they form small AREAS without CENTRALITY, or edge, that does not equilibrarían the use of the square between the different districts.

IDEA
San Blas need a park, and also a square.
SO GIVE IT EVERYTHING!
1. a great CENTRAL vacuum fulfilling the "classic" plaza concept as a multifunctional recreation of large surface area located in a 'Centre' where you can go to the same distance.
2. a ring concentric green as a city of high density filter. The extension of this ring will integrate the different uses of new and existing ones are built.
3. integration in the new civic uses squares: the big market + the great CULTURAL Civic Center

ACTIVITY FLOWS
Establish 3 flows distinct activity which, according to this analysis, could determine the future civic plaza de San Blas uses zoning.
Obviously, being a vacuum enclosed by large high-density neighbourhoods, the main flows which we will find will be residential. These determine spaces for the ride, for the game, for the connections between neighbors, etc...
On the other hand is significant as in the District of Arcos is a high increase in commercial activity downstairs, so it would be logical to think that the market that caters to the entire area should locate close to concentrate tertiary and thus facilitate applications the circulations.
Finally, there is a clear axis green East - West connecting the Park "Paradise" with the Municipal sports center of San Blas.
As you can see in the analysis flows, does not correspond with allowance and current usage that occurs on the site.
We found his step parts we consider programmatic barriers preventing to give a correct use square so this will become a meeting point, connection and urban development. |

THE GREEN MASS WHICH INTEGRATES AND CONNECTS
The big empty (square) is the sacred and versatile. But mother nature grows and spreads. The Green filter collects, organizes and connects the existing building incorporating it into other new uses. It transforms the edges to break them and transfer them to the city. Now all enjoy the great civic SQUARE. |

THE GREAT CENTRIFUGAL PARK/SQUARE
There is a central point, a point which is the square. There are generated large concentrations and activities which we will see later.
To her about turning all the dynamic and everyday uses in a centrifugal manner by connecting all the districts.
WHAT WAS ONCE: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST... IT IS NOW SIMPLY A NODE EXCHANGER ACTIVITIES. |

MARKET OF SAN BLAS
New leisure and market space.
We propose to establish a meeting point where is market service as so far but incorporating the new use of leisure + Gourmet as other examples in other parts of the city.
It will be organized:
Plant low triple-height: market. Facade with access from the square.
First floor: Spaces Gourmet + restoration
Plant terrace: views to plaza + leisure
Building: Propose a piece MULTICOLOR lattice in gradient. We firmly believe in the introduction of the color in the performance.
CIVIC AND CULTURAL CENTER
New space meeting and culture for the neighborhood.
We propose a piece which satisfies the entire program needs that the district needs:
LIBRARY
EXHIBITIONS
CLASSROOMS
MULTIFUNCTION ROOMS
AUDITORIUM
WORKSHOPS
MUSIC AND DANCE HALLS
All this would be organized on the ground floor open exhibitions + 2 floors of the described applications
Building: Propose a piece MULTICOLOR lattice in gradient. We firmly believe in the introduction of the color in the performance. |
