Concurso Petrobras. Victoria. Brasil. Arq. J. Jauregui

The building is conceived with the criterion of triple sustainability: ambient (used of environmental characteristics, topographic and climatic), economic (promoting a scheme based in energy saving allowing at the same time, comfort and facility of support), and social (promoting a favorable environment for integration and conviviality).
-The architectonic area is based in the idea of “total building” that implicates the convergence of multiples variables articulated with unity of conception resulting of multidisciplinary board of conjunct of factors enveloped. The aim, is the configuration of a building with unitary character, that brings the separation of each component part of the program. The access Atrium, thought as a conviviality square, constitutes a neuralgic point able to receipt, in an harmonic space, the possibility of integrate different events of collective character, using the visuals of the city and the mountains.
-The construction is conceived searching the minimized ambient impact, promoting a general attitude of eco-efficiency and eco-numeral. It offers a contemporary working space characterized by comfort and easy modification of layouts and energy friendly, in concordance with the LEED concepts.
-the project foresees a system of utilizations of energy based in the cogeneration (gas-electricity) in contemplation to reduce the cost and the contamination.
-The design of the building innovates in the incorporation of the public dimension through the materialization of conviviality space (the Atrium) that dialogues with the city, facilitating activities with collective character. The façade of the offices, is conceived with the function of double efficiency: capturing solar energy in concordance with the orientation and at the same time thermo protection, incorporating the views.

Corredor Cultural, Ecológico y Turistico en Magé. Brasil. Arq. J. Jauregui

The area of intervention is located in Mage, a district neighboring Rio de Janeiro on the Guanabara Bay. It is based on the restoration and reactivation of the first Brazilian railway, a 150-year-old infrastructure16km long that used to connect the Mountains and the sea. This axis was mainly built to transport goods from the gold mines to Europe in the XIX century. The proposal creates a network of connections that triggers and facilitates local development through an organized appropriation of the space by the community, the public power and private investors. Another important aspect is the emphasis given to the preservation of the historic and environmental patrimony and to the concept of democratization and re-qualification of public space through the introduction of new uses that would activate the local social, economic and cultural activities.The main aspect of the proposal is the restoration of the connection between the mountain and the sea through the railway. This axis becomes the armature that promotes multi modal transportation systems in each of its enclaves: train, boat, car, bicycle and pedestrian.These various means of transportation allow for different speeds and time that can articulate and relate to alternative tourist options oriented to history, culture or leisure according to the users. The time is also addressed in a way that there would be options for one, two or more days of stay, with an infrastructure of hotels, hostels, bead and breakfast, etc. with different character (including agrarian-tourism and eco-tourism style) distributed along the main axis
