DIX Projects – Period September December 2021

By Sarah Tió

For this period, the DIX Subject at @EAD_PUCMM has chosen the theme Tourism and Well-being. Through workshops and theoretical classes we carry out the entire development of the subject program.

Divided into 4 units, the subject was developed as follows:

1. Previous knowledge. As an introduction to the units, during a period of two weeks, we focused on understanding the bases of the contest, placing it in the national context, analysis and resolutions to define typology and possible place.

We do this part in random groups so that each student can interact with everyone.

2. The architectural context. Once the typology is defined, progress is made by performing an analysis of the place in order to gather documentation, analysis and resolutions for design purposes, this being the first unit of the subject.

At this stage, the team is divided into working groups of 3 people who will reach the end of the subject.

3. The architectural project. In this stage, the scope and area program are defined together with its immediate context in order to have the necessary information and documentation to start the design party.

4. Presentation of the Project. The preliminary project begins, where the main focus is the programmatic, spatial and volumetric solution of the project. As a starting point, we carry out the conceptualization process individually with the objective of having several options per team.

5. Executive Project. By team, decisions are made on the resolutions obtained in the individual conceptualization process to start the group conceptualization and therefore the development of the project, making matter with its respective set of technical plans: Architectural, Structural, Electrical and Sanitary .
