The project is summarized in an urban system of rehabilitation of unconsolidated ravines of Valparaiso (natural) that respond to the microclimatic parameters of the place. The information is collected through different energy simulation software and field surveys.
The proposal is deeply linked to the well-being of the healthy body of the users, using methodologies for measuring outdoor comfort in public space, differentiating each person according to age, sex, activity and clothing used, to carry out an analysis that manages to visually map the different spaces of the ravine and which are best suited for the different activities that the project program proposes.
The proposed program attempts to respond to the previously analyzed urban and microclimatic considerations, which can be summarized as a rehabilitation system that includes collective housing, articulation of public squares, a system for the recovery of natural waters and a new way of crossing the ravine through a system of walkways that complies with Chilean regulations on mobility and universal accessibility.
