Wayúu Taya Concert hall
The school as an arbor.
The collective construction par excellence of this people is the arbor: wood structure coated palm without side walls.
The project builds a traditional arbor but in a civic scale; this scale has never be handled by the Wayuu people because they have not been confronted with programs and projects of this nature and of this magnitude.
The collective construction par excellence of this people is the arbor: wood structure coated palm without side walls.
The project builds a traditional arbor but in a civic scale; this scale has never be handled by the Wayuu people because they have not been confronted with programs and projects of this nature and of this magnitude.
This new scale requires new materiality because the traditional materials of the arbor cannot cope with this new scale. Therefore the building arises with concrete structure, using the existing adobe clay soil for enclosures. The sous-face of the arbor is finished in mangrove wood rods.
Below the arbor the music classrooms, the concert hall, the administrative and service activities find shelter, joining a public space; as an arbor, this space has no limits in its relationship with the outside.
Under the great arbor, in shade, the Wayúu children and the architectural program finds its shelter.
