Design Performance Objective |
Adaptive Reuse Studies
The project creates and provides public spaces for both the existing community and the new expected one. The interaction of university students with a population in trouble can contribute to improve greatly the physical and social quality of the neighborhood. The project uses the existing built structures as part of its infrastructure, so there will be no need to tear down and built completely new buildings, but rather to complement the existing ones.

The principles of the design include the correct orientation of the new structures and the creation of social opportunities offering plenty of urban spaces that can fulfill the project and existing community needs. The existing buildings main facades are east/west oriented. The main facades orientation of the new additions is south-north, and they provide the old structures the required passive solar heat gains. In addition, natural ventilation is provided by allowing the desired winds to flow into the open spaces and buildings, while the undesired ones are blocked.
