Platform Park (Huddle)

The platform is a park designed for people of advanced age, where the impact of the usual to the natural is minimal. The intention of the park is to generate a space where users can travel, contemplate and meet. The continuity of a level from the highest point of the lot is considered, in order to generate a continuous step without irregularities.

Bend It

The more dense our urban environments become, the more valuable open and natural settings become.  This struck me first when reviewing how the adjacent community has appropriated the abandoned train route to commune with nature and neighbors in ways that are informal, organic, creative, and productive. 

Fuensanta Nieto
Juror

We value very positvly the awareness of valuing the access to the space, something that we consider very importan in this project.

Landfill to Landform_A Story of Transformation

Continued use of decommissioned Landfill sites is a major cause of concern in developing countries. Ghazipur Landfill Site, located in New Delhi, India has been in news headline for its height being compared to Qutub Minar and Taj Mahal. These sites are affecting environmentally, socially and economically, and thus require a permanent solution.

Very strong proposal that tackles all the brief requirements. Very controlled and well implemented. The only down point that would have upgraded the proposal would have been a more aggresive implementation of the concept and its biophilic expression and perception to users

THE SUBTRACTED HORIZON

The Subtracted Horizon is an underground pavilion in the Swiss Alps that powerfully symbolizes the loss of peace and freedom caused by war. Hidden beneath a pristine alpine meadow, the pavilion is rendered almost invisible from the surface. As visitors descend into a stark, raw trench carved into the earth, they leave behind the open and endless alpine horizon. The architecture uses pure subtraction, removing the landscape to create a profound spatial experience

SPROUT FROM SPRAWL

In a market that emphasizes only fragmentary purchases, people simply comfortably and impulsively consumed agricultural products. So we look forward to bringing together each field of agriculture scattered sporadically through our design like a sprout, just like the title of the contest, "Sprout from Sprawl."

NATURE INTEGRATION PLAYGROUnN

JOSÉ DE VILLAR MARTINEZ
Juror

The proposal is trying to create a valuable urban space based on their construction concept, but we would have liked to see more play value for the potential children using it. The idea of creating a small theme park with stones and hexagons is less relevant by itself than the fact of including the surroundings in the proposal, which we think shows a respectful attitude towards the context. We believe if the participant wanted to create a place for nature, the design could have focused more on the natural systems than in the objects, plant dynamics and perceptions could have been the main target of the proposal.

0
CARLOS CHACÓN PÉREZ
Juror

The system tries to provide a urban space with areas for children, however the play value is very low, almost as a park. To create a children playground, the design need to fulfill its main target while providing a valuable urban space, and in this case the goal of the proposal needs more intensity.

The Green Connector

To design a respite center with rooftop and courtyard public space growing local crops, which serve as a connector between nearby communities and asylum seekers group, and between the refugee and their future life.

Jachen Schleich
Juror

General Comments The competition poses a highly complex and difficult question. The restriction to use the bridge as project site narrows down the solutions to - in the best case- intelligent and technical design solutions. Because of that, many of the projects don’t reflect on the question of migration politics, social challenges, and the real problems beyond the architectural solution. To evaluate the projects, my priority was to look for a basic reflection on the migration situation and the related design challenge and a basic idea of the project related to this reflection. The further development of the project has to be coherent to this idea and the design outcome has to reflect somehow the values of the idea. The criteria of proper representation helps to understand the idea and the development. Not the best looking image is the winner, but the most coherent graphic language and argumentation line. The compliance of the room program, I don’t consider relevant in this stage of design, so all the projects have the same evaluation.

Luis Diego Barahona Ortega

The project does not enhance the characteristic temporality that would be expected from the design. The participant overstates the approach to green, which leads them to neglect essential elements of the contest that are not resolved through gardens.

0
Juan Cuevas Duran
Juror

The proposal insists on its sustainable qualities, but in my opinion, the solutions offered don't respond to the context. The fact that it's a temporary place to live interferes with the idea of assigning jobs to migrants that know that there could leave literally at any moment. Even though its an interesting idea, offering temporary occupations and training requires a logistics network which would be difficult to implement.

ELEVATED OASIS

THE CONCEPT OF THIS BETTER BUSSTOP IS TOP ADD EXTRA PUBLIC SPACE IN AN ECO-FRIENDLY WAY. THE ELEVATED OASIS FUNCTIONS BY ADDING AN EXTRA LAYER OF SOIL ABOVE THE CLT SLAB WHICH ENABLES PLANTS TO GROW. FGREENWALL

Emilio Vicedo Ortiz
Juror

The idea of creating a bus station not only as a piece of urban furniture but also as a multidisciplinary platform was positively valued since they include architectural concepts such as the unit, industrialized building, and spatial flexibility as part of the design. Likewise, including renewable energy, ICT, and recycled materials in most of the projects was also judged positively. In some designs, a final product that integrates within the environment on an adequate scale is missing.
