ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO VI


Architecture Design Studio IV is the sixth sequence of the architectural design studios and applied design basics program at CEDAC in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The program is designed to be taken in modules through the course of the degree, aligning classes that will meet the standard of presentation along with the studio. 

For this particular studio the main focus is Educational Design. However for the matters of this class we also designed a private residence for the Graphics for the Building Arts and constructive documents course. This studio is designed to develop the ability to create meaningful architectural solutions in the Education field. It can focus in any range of education from preschool, elementary and high school, to higher education such as student housing and main halls. 

Lectures in this course include the study of human interaction and behavioral aspects related to education.

Concept 

The concept behind this residence was based on the Colonial Heritage of Honduras. With the intuition of promoting a national identity with architecture and enhance a Honduran style of design, the design then focused on the layout of an interior courtyard.

The house was influenced by archetypes of design that are influence of the Spanish colonial era. In response to the major influence the interior courtyard played in colonial building in matters relating to rain drainage, sunlight exposure, natural ventilation and recreation with the exterior. This same concept was applied to be the main appeal of the house. Reinterpreted then to adapt with all the modern amenities offered in todays living. 

This 1,700 sq. meter (18,200 sq. ft.) house was part of the Electronic Communication for the Building Arts course along with Architecture Design Studio IV. The constructive documents created in this course were later used for the Bidding and Cost Analysis course.

Spanish Colonial Architecture in the Americas was defined by a contrast between abstract and simplicity. However, the Latin American Baroque played a decisive role in the designs; the National Palace, Palacio de Iturbide and Casa de los Azulejos in Mexico City all represent the strength of Colonial courtyards. 

In Honduras, the National Presidential Palace stands as an example of neo-colonial architecture served as an inspiration. The modern interpretation by national architect Luciano Duron was used as a case study for this project.   

The house is surrounded by natural habitats and landscapes that represent Honduran culture to the maximum. The residence takes in the basic ideals of Spanish architecture to create a new typology for Honduran residences.
