Proyecto Oasis: un espacio para la sombra

Abstract

The 1UNUNO WORKSHOP is a first semester course of the undergraduate degree in architecture at the Santo Tomás University, Medellín headquarters, whose objective revolves around the foundation on compositional issues addressed to new students. It is the academic space corresponding to the project workshop but with a different nuance: the structuring and materialization of ideas through a pedagogical practice that poses new challenges and reflections to the traditional way of teaching architecture, based on reality as a means of approximation, conceptualization and materialization of the architectural idea with a high ethical, technical and poetic commitment from the institution towards its students and direction towards society. This is the third version of the workshop (in the first 2018-1, 3 exhibition pavilions were designed and built for the Medellín Design Week; in the second 2018-2, 2 furniture prototypes were designed and built for the outdoor areas of the ALTIUS project) , and for this version, in an effort to articulate the three substantive functions of the Institution and positively impact on a community, the exercise is carried out in the Villa Flor Urbanization in the municipality of Algeria under the theme of “shadow spaces and urban furniture ”that contributes to improve the quality of the urban space and the habitability of the place.
