In the beggining it was a dream, there were doubts, who pays for it? When will it be built? How long will it take to construct?

Who to seek help from? Who will pay the publishing? In the next 6 months wood companies knew about the project an the had given a price for the structure and the Museum of Modern Art Medellin had signed the contract for the pavilion.

What will the community profit from? Education and culture which is what Medellin is about today. Once everything was flowing, engineers got involved, and this is when Izaskun and the Bartlett came along, the design started becoming

a reality from a beautiful dream. Construction plans, elevations and sections were done. The exact price was calculated. Medellin digital (the client) asked the building to provide benefits and the same way around.

At the same time, contracts with artesans of wood from the area will be made, internet systems to be installed with a technology already tested by the group. All this ahieved in only two months, in 2013 then it will be possible to use this installation for social activities, birthday celebrations,

cooking lessons, elderly teacching to knit or any other educational occasion that contributes to learning.

Durability of one year as a pavilion and then having the option of separating the different units and spreading them around the city creating different harbours or keeping it as a single pavilion. If it was to be given an end to its usage, the wood could be 100% reused.

El Puerto Pavilion Medellin 2012Kitchen and Entrance units.

Everything started with a fire, the heart of a home, around which one can sit around and get warm in a cold day of winter and even thanks to which one can cook a lovely meal for the family. A place to socialise, to learn and to explore.

This was the beggining, now the kitchen unit can be designed around this fire now the space is inhabited, and now attention to detail is needed in order to get to a good single and strong design created by many different minds.

Day 1. Design brainstorm.

What is important in a kitchen? FIRE.

Everything got designed from the beggining with the idea of fire in mind.To t=reresent our ideas in group and fully understand the dimensions we created a plan and a section of our design 1:1 with tape on the floor.

We then brought to life the drawing by acting inside it, sitting serving or cooking!

Pavilion; How did everything start?

After presenting our three dwellings to the rest of the students in our studio, we were placed in GROUPS for the different units!

Kitchen Unit Structure

Workspace Unit Sink & Storage Unit

BBQ Tray Detail

The ground floor kitchen is suspended from a lattice grid structure constructed in timber below the first floor primary structure. From this hangs 2 Workspace Units and a central Sink and Storage unit.

It is intended that the joinery for the 2 workspace units are identical including hardwood surfaces and bar construction, however one would house a steel BBQ tray and grill, whilst the other would be a steel tray lined externally in polystyrene as a drinks and ice container.

The central hanging structure will need to support a sink and house all the utensils and smaller equipment such as pots and pans, and be fully lockable. (This is still to be designed)

We decided to divide the design vertically, starting from the bottom up:

Pots for planting herbs for people to use for theirpicnics included in the structure

Facade to include mirrors re!ecting both upstairs and downstairs Facade to include both windows and storage

Bringing back the nature to the metropolitan area of Medellin through its river.

Moravia area

In the 70s began its urban occupation as a waste disposal site.- Uncontrolled disposal site that received over 100 ton/day of waste: Urban Waste Industrial Waste, Health Care Waste ,Animal, Control Waste..

The human settlement in Moravia happened together with the waste disposal.- The first habitants were the people that lived “searching” the garbage that was dumped in Moravia (looking to find value materials such as wood, metal, paper, etc)- As paradox as it could be, Moravia is a well located place in Medellin (in front of the busterminal, only a few minutes to city center). Once it was close down – attracted especially the people that was arriving at Medellin.- In 1983, 17.000 people lived there (1st census),in 2006 around 42.000 people.

Medellin grew arround its river, also called Medellin. After the big industralization of the city, the river became very urbanized with a man made basin which made it flow fast and streight, giving it a completly different look if it is to be compared to itssmaller streams which have a jungle feel, full of vegetation and fauna.

The levels of the river change dramatically because of the heavy rain

One thing I noticed when in the city of Medellin, was that most of the homes, as in many other big cities, did not have their own garden or open space. At the same time, peripheral and marginal areas don’t have an inmediate interaction with the rest of the city I found here the design proposal, a green space in which both,people from the city and peripheral neighbors, can socialise and have their own small piece of land to grow their vegetables or flowers!

My idea is to bring to the river Medellin the nature it once had, starting by a water purification system followed by the addition of garden platforms (hanging and floating) used as paths along and at different levels of the river basin, making the river flood the lower ones when at its highest tidal level. These would provide ciewing platforms to explore the river and learn how to clean it as an educational purpose.
