The thesis explores an alternative solution for an urban renovation project in the neighbourhood of Fenicia, located in city center of Bogotá, Colombia. This solution is reached by studying the historical relevance of the area along with its development in the architectural and social areas, going back to the foundation of the city in 1622 and the original development of the area in 1810. This process is done to fully understand the current conditions and how to improve it through a project of urban renovation that is deeply rooted in the essence of the neighbourhood to be intervened. The design parameters taken into account came from the original morphology of the city in the time of the neighbourhood’s first appearance, for the urban layout, and the facades and typology of the Spanish colonial courtyard house, for the typological proposal. The project challenges the current way in which these interventions are being tackled by local architects and local authorities, casting light towards a new way of approaching urban renovation with a more historically sensible aim. The result is a renewed urban block that improves its over intensification with the implementation of an “urban courtyard” that articulates the different land uses present in the area and enhances the relationships with the natural environment and the mountain.
La tesi esplora una soluzione alternativa per un progetto di rinnovamento urbano nel borgo di Fenicia, nel centro città di Bogotá, Colombia. Questa soluzione si fonda sullo studio della rilevanza storica dell’area e del suo sviluppo architettonico e sociale, dalla fondazione della città nel 1622 allo sviluppo originale del borgo nel 1810. Questo percorso è stato fatto per capire in profondità la situazione attuale e come migliorarla attraverso un progetto di rinnovamento urbano che sia profondamente collegato all’essenza del borgo su cui si vuole intervenire. I parametri di progetto nascono in base alla morfologia originale del borgo, al suo disegno urbano, alla sua proposta tipologica, legata all’impianto tipologico a corte e alle facciata della casa coloniale spagnola. Il progetto si pone come sfida alla maniera corrente con cui questi interventi vengono fatti da architetti e autorità locali, gettando una luce verso un nuovo modo di affrontare il rinnovamento urbano con maggiore sensibilità verso la storia del luogo. Il risultato è un isolato urbano che aumenta la densità attuale con la creazione di un “cortile urbano” che articola i diversi usi presenti nel’area e che migliora le relazioni con l’intorno naturale e la montagna.

Abstract
The thesis explores an alternative solution for an urban renovation project in the neighbourhood of Fenicia, located in city center of Bogotá, Colombia. This solution is reached by studying the historical relevance of the area along with its development in the architectural and social areas, going back to the foundation of the city in 1622 and the original development of the area in 1810. This process is done to fully understand the current conditions and how to improve it through a project of urban renovation that is deeply rooted in the essence of the neighbourhood to be intervened. The design parameters taken into account came from the original morphology of the city in the time of the neighbourhood’s first appearance, for the urban layout, and the facades and typology of the Spanish colonial courtyard house, for the typological proposal. The project challenges the current way in which these interventions are being tackled by local architects and local authorities, casting light towards a new way of approaching urban renovation with a more historically sensible aim. The result is a renewed urban block that improves its over intensification with the implementation of an “urban courtyard” that articulates the different land uses present in the area and enhances the relationships with the natural environment and the mountain.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
