Relación entre envolvente y actividad como elementos articuladores de la vivienda en alta densidad y agricultura vertical

Abstract

This research aims to assess the relationship between the envelope and the activity to address the problem of food and housing deserts in the town of Usaquén. As a starting point, we analyze different references of market squares and high-density housing, with the aim of facilitating a transition of knowledge that supports the project's argument. This was complemented with a field analysis through mapping, in which we observed aspects such as the routes that users take to reach a store or market square and the areas of greatest agglomeration of people in various activities. The objective was to identify the problems of the sector, which allowed us to conclude that people must make long journeys to shop in plazas and purchase grains. Furthermore, there are no activity and leisure environments; In the sector between 193rd Street and 7th Street, there are no ideal conventional typologies, since there are only invasion homes. Taking these aspects into account, a mesh of market square typologies with flexible spaces is proposed, each one specialized in different products: fruits, vegetables and grains for one square, meat and fish for another, thus configuring a network of squares. In addition, the construction of high-density housing is proposed with three typologies: type 1 (apartment studio), type 2 (2 bedrooms) and type 3 (3 bedrooms). Vertical agriculture will be integrated inside, planning planting spaces to promote social activities and establish a direct relationship with the environment.
