The Renato Poblete River Park belongs to a master plan that aims to re-clean the Mapocho River, an important geography element from the urban zone in Santiago that has been indirectly excluded from the city activities. With the creation of this project, Santiago recovers its soul and incorporates light water sports and paths from the Mapocho Bikepark 42k into urban practices.

The collaboration consisted in being part of the team in charge of the design and the development of artificial topography that uses the strategy of triangulation in order to surround the new river branch, allowing containment. On top of that, paths and bridges also consider the triangular edges. They cover the park, obtaining views towards both the internal and external sides, the park and Santiago city, respectively.

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION, HUANCHACA CULTURAL PARK

FIRST PLACE

Architects: Canvas Architects

Design Team: Pablo Nuñez, Jose Riesco, Laura Sanchez, Eugenio Sweet, Javier Moya O.

Year: 2014

Program: Masterplan

Location: Antofagasta, Chile

Surface: 430.556 ft²

Antofagasta and its unique geographical profile offer its viewers the possibility to have amazing urban lookouts, relaxing areas, and collective meeting points that also provide facilities. Huanchaca Park uses the urban model already mentioned in order to convert the ruins into the center of the plan through a public lookout-space, including a mechanical infrastructure connecting east and west plains, defining the slopes, paths, and spaces of the area that strengthen the unique coast border.

The collaboration consisted in being part of the development proposal team for the competition. The essential idea was to highlight the image of the ruin, restoring it in a critical way, keeping the original environment but allowing people to interact and use the space provided by the ruin.

CONNECTIVE SPACE, ARAUCO COMPETITION
 
Architects: Javier Moya O, Víctor Alegría C, Rodrigo Valenzuela, Benjamín Murúa
Year: 2011
Program: Interactive equipment
Location: Galería Carroza, Santiago, Chile

Is it possible to think about a connective space as well as a place for meeting people? Considering this, we propose three elements, which can be piled or displaced to generate spaces, and which enable their individual and group usage.

In an epoch where everything seems to be over-designed, we have focused on producing monolithic and neutral objects which only outstand because of their materials and the multiple possibilities of usage to people.
