|||||
| The International Union of Architects (UIA) the UNESCO and the Federation of Architects Associations of the Mexican Republic (FCARM) integrated by 70 Arquitects Associations, under the sponsorship of the Government of the State of Guanajuato, Mexico, have decided to carry out a World Competition “Architecture, Urban Development and Sustainable Housing.” In today’s Global context in which countries develop, and in search of improvement in the quality of the populations life, the competition is organized, taking into consideration sustainable development. It will be very important to rescue, integrate and strengthen the cultural traditions of the locality, respecting the historical patrimony of its environment. COMPETITION OBJECTIVES. Two main objectives are aimed. One is to create a new and ingenious architectural design, appropriate to the project requirements in accordance to the local regulations with the concept of sustainability and bio-climatic design. In order to accomplish this, the climatic advantages and physical conditions of the locality should be taken into consideration. On the other hand, it is of vital importance to conceive the urban design, with the same conditions and criteria. It is vital to clearly identify the stages proposed to carry out the progressive construction of each unit. From the technical perspective, it is recommended to explore a type of urbanization taking into consideration: sustainability and rationality in the use of energy, recycling, reusing of water resources and final disposal of waste. From the social standpoint, new forms of social interaction and community coexistence should be proposed in order to strengthen the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the inhabitants that could be use as a model for future developments elsewhere in the country. The results of this project will be highly appreciated by the community of Guanajuato and in Mexico in general, due to the fact that it will contribute new concepts of architectural and urban design, and will allow the development of technical and scientific avant-garde experiences which could also be used in future developments. COMPETITION PROGRAM. The objective is to create a different concept on architectural and urban design, that can relate more immediately to the needs of society and the local environment. A Sustainable Housing Development is proposed under the following basis: To suggest a housing design and its urban environment that allows an easier interaction among inhabitants, offering independence between the suggested housing developments and the urban design. Each housing development must consist of 50 to 70 progressively built houses (2 to 5 stages) with in a final construction area of 90 to 120 m2 per unit and up to 3 levels high. At least six different prototypes designs should be considered for multifamily progressive house construction. Open spaces and sustainable environments must be created to allow the social integration of the community. The land is located in the Ex-hacienda de Santa Teresa in the surroundings of the municipality of Guanajuato in direction to Silao City. The size of the land is 30 hectares. 60% should be considered to the construction of the houses and the remaining 40% to streets, avenues, facilities, public services, green areas and open spaces.
