Sion - urban transformation: the city of the future

Universidad Europea del Atlantico

Idea projektu

This project was born with the idea of looking beyond the known and seeing urbanism and architecture in a different way, through
changes, using creativity and imagination as a driving force to bring forth a different proposal that offers future solutions to how
humans could live. That perspective has its origin in its name, Sion, which means "City of God." In a dialogue at the South American
Congress, architect Aravena mentioned that we were purely dependent on gravity, bound by it, and that made us terrestrial
beings. It was then that a dormant dream awakened.
Creating foundations for the city of Sion and reimagining urbanism from a concept as simple as ight allows us to question
everything known and change the way we view the city. Cities that were conceived in two-dimensional plans would have to be
rethought. Through thorough research, I discovered that there is no city with deconstructivist foundations. It was based on these
principles and the understanding of designing beyond what is known that this proposal was born.
Perhaps you wonder why it had to be so different. The answer is simple: if it resembled what was already known, it would be
terrestrial. Therefore, in a challenging exercise, I ventured to explore the realm where the unknown began to take shape and, above
all, the foundational concepts of future urbanism. Through a deep and complex study, questioning and drawing from the known, I
gave birth to the initial sketches of a city with deconstructivist principles that should not be designed in two dimensions but in three
dimensions. This questioned everything known, such as privacy, the way we communicate, our connections, and the speed of this
city.
It was a beautiful experience of thought and understanding, encompassing many parameters of architecture, which gave rise to
the work I present to you now and will continue to advance in the future. It has taught me so much about what I already knew and
even about things I was unaware of. I believe it was one of the best ways to look at architecture, to envision the future, and try to
provide an answer. I don't know if this is the path, and I am far from knowing if this will be the future, but what I have learned
within this study has enriched my experience in architecture and design. It has shown me that every lesson learned and every
stroke made throughout my career was worth it.
I present to you Sion, the City of God, and I express my gratitude to the educators who shaped me. It is thanks to them, my family,
and my guiding God that I have been able to take these steps. Thank you.

Popis projektu

The project includes the challenge of a Flying City, conceived by the architect Montañez Víctor, it is a bold and revolutionary vision that
challenges the limits of conventional architecture, and allows a look at urban evolution. His goal is to create a city suspended in the air,
where buildings oat freely and streets are replaced by interconnected air corridors.
An idea based on research, creativity, scientic exploration, in urban paradigms that propose breaking with the idea of a two-dimensional
city, addressing the rst Deconstructivist city raised in 3 dimensions and houses patterns that sustain this project, as an innovative idea of
look at the future The challenge is to be able to show beyond what is known and support it with theoretical foundations that allow
architectural design to be seen from another point of view, where creativity and science are the engines of this proposal.
The Flying City is inspired by the idea of breaking with the monotony and established patterns of traditional cities. I propose a unique
urban experience, where the inhabitants can enjoy an elevated environment and a different perspective. The architectural design is based
on light and aerodynamic structures, using innovative materials and cutting-edge technologies to ensure the safety and stability of the
suspended city.
The project tries to conceive a place of innovation and creativity. Spaces for research centers, advanced technology laboratories and
interdisciplinary collaboration areas, among others, are planned. The idea is to encourage the exchange of ideas and the development of
pioneering projects that promote the advancement of society.
Mobility in the Flying City is based on sustainable and efcient transport systems that surround the city. Public air transport networks are
planned, using electric and autonomous vehicles that allow uid and fast movement in all directions. The use of high-speed trains that run
through this city is also promoted, providing a unique and safe experience for the inhabitants of the city.
Based on Deconstructivist principles, this proposal tries to explore urbanism and the human habitat approach, investigating the
Deconstructivist model and the possible patterns that provide harmony and structure this project in a system that allows the
development of a thoughtful and coherent city, keeping an eye on the future and the indistinct possibilities of human habitats that man
could create. The project is about creating the city of chaos and giving it order, harmony and a way of life, and structuring each parameter
of it to understand the urbanism of chaos, to understand what lies beyond the design of a two-dimensional city. It is an exploration of the
future. This project proposes the rst Deconstructivist city, in an evolutionary approach to its realization, tries to accommodate the rst
steps on this new urbanism raised and understand and explore the future paths of Urbanism.
The project tries to show how the Urbanism of the future will be and the problems and benets that this may have, it represents a
futuristic and avant-garde vision of urban life. The project of this city suspended in the air, where architecture, nature and innovation
converge to create a unique environment, I am innovative. This project challenges traditional limits and seeks to offer a revolutionary
urban experience, in the design of the rst projected Deconstructivist city, which inspires future generations and opens up new possibilities
in the world of architecture.
