Urban Suture: A Stitching Bridge
PrizeWinner in Architectural Design / Social Housing
University/SchoolUniversidad de los Andes
Lead ArchitectMaria José Ceballos Alzate
This project seeks to be the bridge or stitching for the city’s Physical Fractures: water streams, and Social Wounds: economic strata, ignorance of natural landscape, lack of interaction between different socioeconomic contexts. This translates to a replicable system of modular housing that lets habitants modify a dwelling depending on their needs; offers communal served and servant spaces that promote social contact; and creates a bond with the city’s landscape through architecture by framing the hills, the wetlands, the characteristic clouded sky and many more forgotten natural features.
