COLUMBIA, MEDELLIN

MEDELLIN, PUERTO MAMM PARK

- CULTURE BACKGROUND - Medellín is the second largest city in Colombia with a population of 2.6 million. The city is located in a plain in a valley, bisected by the Medellín river. The city has a tropical rainforest climate which is pleasantly springlike all year. Therefore Medellín is also known as “la ciudad de la eterna primavera”, which means “the city of enternal spring”.

- SITE AND PROJECT BACKGROUND - The objective of the Pureto MAMM project is to design an outdoor pavilion in the Ciudad del Río Park, a green space near the Museo de

Arte Moderno de Medellín (MAMM) in Medellín, Colombia, in collaboration with a group of 12 students from the School of Architecture of the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana de Medellín (UPB) led by their tutor Felipe Mesa. There were 14 students from the Bartlett led by

Izaskun Chinchilla and Carlos Jimenez The project is support by the MAMM.

The pavilion is around 40m long, 5m wide and 8m in height. It consist of a long platform which provides spaces for workshops and perfor-mances for the public in Medellín.The original plan of this workshop is to build the pavilion on site, therefore a lot of attention is paid on in-vestigations on the proposed material - Caribbean Pine - and details of different wood joints and the construction techniques of our designs.

+ PROGRAM. Workshop and Classroom in the garden of a contemporary art museum with special atten-tion to new technologies: renewable energies, science and digital art + healthy food provision. + SURFACE: 28m2 Workshop and Classroom (12 x 2.35mts) + 6m2 food counter + 22m2 covered public space.+ LOCATION: Medellín, Parque Ciudad del Río.+ DESIGN AND PROJECT: 15 students and 2 tutors all from Bartlett School of Architecture Unit 22, 12 students and 2 tutors all from Architecture Faculty from the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana de Me-dellín. + ADvISORS: Experts chosen by Medellin Modern Art Museum. + DIRECTION: Medellin Modern Art Museum (Director: Juliana Restrepo), U.P.B (Director Architecture Faculty: Jorge Pérez Jaramillo+ TUTOR: Felipe Mesa), The Bartlett School of Architecture (Director: Marcos Cruz and Tutor: Izaskun Chinchilla), Cubierta vegetal.+ ON SITE BUILDING DATES: 2012. First week of December.+ MATERIALS: Structure, enclosures and movable elements all in immunized Wood from Caribean Pine and galvanized screws (20 years guarantee lifespan). + BUDGET: Total estimated budget of 50.000$ for the two pavilions containing 58 built mts2 (Materials +Labour), and including licenses and basic installations. + SPONSORS: Mamm, U.P.B, The Bartlett School of Architecture, Cluster de Energía de Medellín, Restau-rante Blanco, Área Metropolitana de Medellín, Medellín Digital.

1. Closeness to train lines for convenience in the transport of merchandise and arrival of resources.

2. The Medellin’s river was used for drainage of industrial waste and the valley’s strong wind currents to keep the city relatively clear from smog.

3. Closeness to the urban center to facilitate workers’ transport. 4. The city’s urban pilot

waste

The MAMM was moved from its original location Carlos E. Restrepo to Ciudad del Río in 2009. The Talleres Robledo building which was renovated by the Utopia Group for such purpose.The moving of the museum not only provided a better exhibition space for artists and expanded the number of visitors, it also became a cultural landmark in Ciudad del Río, which is crucial for the city’s transformation to modernity.

New spaces Linear parks Library parks

The location of the MAMM and the Ciudad del Río Park is perfect for attracting visitors all around in Medellín. This park is an important venue to most people in Medellín due to the lack of green spaces in the city. The proximity to bus and metro stations on the Industriales Avenue draws in constant flow of people everyday.

- CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL - The material intended to be used for the pavilion construction will be pine wood (pinus). Studies on the growing process, extraction and

various usages of pine wood were prepared by students from the UPB. Please see attached booklet for full details.

- INITIAL PROJECT INFORMATION - Initial structure used to ask for all permission, to negotiate the budget and to allow the foundations and main frames to be already built up

when we arrive. The structure also allow us to work in smaller groups with more accurate goals.

DESIGN OBJECTIvE: the structural design tries to encourage all the sponsors and organizations involved in the project to use this tempo-rary pavilion at least as long as the material are guaranteed: 20 years. The first lay out of the pieces in the first location will only be used for a

year. After this year we want to promote other locations and users to get advantage of our design.

STRUCTURE: The houses with the outdoor structure are based in the tipi’s structures. Nevertheless it is important to allow the houses that are connecting two tipi’s houses to be self resistant. The connection houses are based in ‘pasos’: floats in Spanish holy Week procession.

Group 3’s pavilion employs various theatrical techniques to make a workshop space that can be folded away or unfolded to create coat hooks, tables, chairs, openings and lights, often using a hybrid combination of wood and other materials to create properties unex-pected of wood. The elevations, roof envelope, chairs, lights and fans are mirrored. This symetry reduces constructions cost and and time.

The main elements of this are as follows:

Material/wooden walls – waterproof canvas walls, which have a geometric pattern created of thin wood veneer. The flexible quality of the material and the structural qualities of the wooden fragments allow a table to be produced out of the skin of the building, which simultaneously opens a window. This system relies on special attention to waterproofing details, and a pulley system which will be located on the exterior of the pavilion.

Fan system – thin sheets of wood carefully hinged, which can be kept together as a compact shelf or unfolded to create storage hooks. This system works symbiotically with the folding tables as it anchors the table in place and produces a means of transferring the loads of the table back to the core structure of the pavilion.

Roof structure – this is the main structural element. As a means to keep the space flexible, the roof provides docks for the furniture and lights. These take the form of large wooden envelopes, set out to a regular diamond grid, which also act structurally to tie the roof and the frame together, as a truss structure. The roof will overhang the walls significantly, which will avert the need for excessive waterproof details on the opening fabric portions of the pavilion.

Chairs and lights – these will be lightweight frames, operating carefully weighted sandbags and pulleys. The chairs will be lighter than the weights, so they effectively pack themselves away when not in use. They are simple box-like frames, with a basic internal structure to allow it to take the weight but remain light. They also incorporate layers of sponge, which work with wooden fragments, on the top of the seat to add comfort and to cushion the base as it lands. The lights are weighted equally with the sand-bags so the height can be manually controlled. here the rope around the pulleys will be the electrical flex.

Floor – simple decking, unobstructed by structure to ensure flexibility. There will be marked-out spaces where the furniture goes when unpacked to make the space more legible to users.

FABRIC WALL

The walls of the pavillion are constructed from wooden tiles which are glued onto PU coated fabric. This enables the wood to become flexible.

A table and blind are blended in to the overall wall pattern. In their resting positions the table is vertical and the blind is down. When the table is pulled down to a horizontal position for use a pulley system raises the blind.
