Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería Facultad de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Artes Lima, Perú

Idea projektu

“2 de Mayo” residence group is a thesis project located in the Historic Center of Lima. Initially, the design and conceptualization’s lineament were proposed in thesis workshop 19B of Architecture, Urbanism and Arts Faculty of the National University of Engineering. Its development has been elaborated and improved after the completion of the workshop in the 2016. Two types of themes have been developed in this project: the approach of the housing and commerce in an area where urban regeneration programs are contemplated. With this seeks to create an “urban void, taking as definition, that is a space where it is projeted to socially and economically revitalize the neighborhood thus to give connectivy with its neighboring sectors”. Also an adequate location of a building in a Historic Center is setting an appropriate relationship (height, urban profile) with existing buildings in the place.
