Atlas
Awarded with the 2nd prize, ATLAS is a proposal for affordable housing. Located on Setubal's Avenida do Belo Horizonte, between Bela Vista Park and a very steep topography hillside, that allows views of both the park and the Tagus River. The surroundings consist of a set of housing blocks that follow a regular and defined urban grid. Aiming to mitigate the discrepancy between the suburbs and the city center, ATLAS proposal ensures the creation of alternative programs and spaces that encompass local communities, while creating flexible housing typologies adapted to the needs of each family.
Atlas project is a group of shared spaces that seek to unite rather than separate. The reduced gathering places in cities and the lack of outdoor space in houses make it increasingly important that new buildings are positioned between the built and the natural, providing outdoor spaces for everyone.
The main purpose of the intervention is to relate the required volumetry to a less dense surrounding that embraces the park and the hillside. This volumetry suggests the creation of three fragmented blocks, in which the resulting voids allow for the exploration of different perspectives and urban approaches that would not exist if the solution corresponded to a more rigid design that gathered the program into a single volume.
The terrain's natural topography and its contact with the traffic infrastructure justify the option of creating a difference in elevation of three meters between each of the three blocks. Each block forms a courtyard that allows natural lighting and ventilation in the dwellings. Additionally, the placement of each block generates courtyards. That increases the amount of public space on the ground level, where programs and activities can take place and can easily be activated or just be a leisure space open for the whole community.
Based on a prefabricated modular structure, which allows for quick assembly and a reduction in costs and resources, making the proposal more sustainable, the ATLAS project has 212 dwellings. The typologies are developed from a highly flexible module that is repeated and adapted to the needs of each family since they reveal a simplicity in interior functional organization.
