OGN part 1; Architecture for Everybody!
Bina Basnet's journey started as a teacher in an orphanage. Her observation: a lot of low-income families with day-to-day labor, took their small kids to their workplace (laborers, street vendors, domestic workers, etc. with some addicted to drugs) as a good and free daycare did not exist. She thought about what could change this as small children years are super important. How could they learn, play, discover?
Bina set up Orchid Garden Nepal (OGN) in 2006 at Kalopul, Kathmandu, with the help of Van 't Sant family (Netherlands) and Dahal family ( Nepal).
While urbanization was ongoing and the owner of the land raised the courtyard level, serious floods started to happen in the last years. This is when they called us for help. We organized a design charrette with 4 teams: Team Happy, Peace, Polite and Team Netherlands. The best were developed further, keeping in mind the importance of spatial quality of the school as a learning environment.
More soon!

FONCA.
The Building as Sampler.
The Building as Sampler explores and seeks solutions that question the traditional architectural systems of spatial ordering, program and structure, thus becoming a broad provider of services like a small city.
The building as Sampler stems from the idea of re-interpreting the genealogy of high-rise buildings in order to create a "platform" or free floor plan that houses a wide range of typological variations or programs within its interior. This generic structure can be cloned and built in different cities, however, its particular activities and internal functions will make this a unique building.
Your results can vary from the hybrid tower to the building like a Metropolis of the industrial age, from the Digital Metapolis to the Rural Village in height, from the Global Building to the Tropical Structure. This project is then proposed as a critique of the plethora of icons in the contemporary city, whose position could be located in any city. Instead of creating an elitist ghetto in height, the sampler proposes a democratic city in vertical.
Tutores: José Castillo, Gustavo Avilés.
Diseño: Rodrigo Pantoja @rodrigopantojacalderon

Mackinac Point Lighthouse, Michigan, 2010. Amazing how the angle of light changes the whole image. Compare this one to a few photos back.
