Project idea

A project based on the transformation of the penitentiary with the context and focusing on the reinterpretation of the social reintegration formula used in Perú.

Project description

A penitentiary which has the particularity of being located in a tropical climate, specifically in the department of Madre de Dios, province of Manu, district of Shintuya. Classified as a medium-high security penitentiarty with a capacity of 500 inmates.

Technical information

The climate of the region is warm and humid and the materials available for its construction are cuneiform wood trunks. It is for this reason that the conception of prison is reinterpreted and it tries to adapt this architectonic element so hermetic in one that does not impose its materiality to the context, but quite the contrary. Without ceasing to think about the functional, architectural, climatic and safety aspects.
An approach that seeks to remove prison complexes from the general approach of closed penitentiary that is used in Peru, both in the remoteness of the populated centers and within the same city. Forming dead zones where the interaction between the city and the architectural element deny each other
