Restructuring and organization of the coastal edge of the Barrio La Playa de Ponce, through a cruise terminal.

 

 

Concept or statement:

"redundancy of land use". Which means the inability of some cities to reuse a space that was previously linked to its course but that place is forgotten. And of not existing the correct organization or the vision to reprogram with of La Playa de Ponce. We set the example of the old port area of Ponce. A place with a lot of history and a fruitful past. Based on the proposed program, a kind of "poles" is be programmed in the area of Ponce Beach. It’s a common feeling between ponceños; “Primero soy ponceño y después soy puertorriqueño".

 

Urbanism is tied to the architecture through the organization in the squares of the neighborhoods and the main roads in the Bararchitecture that surrounds us in the context is a historical warehouse typology, aligned implemented in the cruise terminal will be a modern one but without leaving the typological rule of the buildings that surround us. But showing the perception of being something modern that becomes part of the landscape in all that coastal coast.
