Urbanizing Through Architecture Cartagena - Peace in Process

Cartagena, Colombia
Design Studio Fall ’18

The studio proposed an inclusive urban vision for a new town development for 25.000 migrants on the edge of the city in Cartagena, Colombia. A new settlement strategy and methodology for urbanization was designed to grow a village into a city. The design focused on one central space within this development that provides identity, centrality, and safety. Each student designed a prototypical place/ building type of production, addressing mobility and hybrid programming, including work and education.

  • Goals
    City-making in this sense required the definition of the various elements both public and private that make up a city.

    Colombia is an emerging, middle-income country that faces many pressures of today’s’ global urbanization process. The Caribbean port city of Cartagena is characterized by the tourism industry that is growing exponentially. Cartagena exemplifies the most extreme inequality in Colombia. New high-rise developments along the coast in Boca Grande, UNESCO-Heritage sites, a newly planned airport, gated communities, environmental issues, such as flooding and most of the population living in slums, are all ingredients of Cartagena’s contemporary condition.

    After 50 years of civil war, Colombia is re-urbanizing and discovering its cities. Ciudad Bicentenario, a new for social mobility, is an ambitious project in Cartagena that will provide 25.000 housing units on 400ha
