Resilient Educational Infrastructure in Arica
In the north of Chile we have a seismic gap of more than 150 years (Arica 1868, Iquique 1877) which translates into a high probability of new mega earthquakes (+9mw) due to the accumulation of energy in the contact zone between the Nazca and South American plates.
Any look into the future must consider this probability, so when the University of Tarapacá in Arica tendered the design of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering building, the assignment was transformed into an opportunity to design an accessible prototype of resilient public infrastructure, a replicable model whose functionality cannot be interrupted to serve as immediate support in emergency management. In short, it must not only withstand, but cannot suffer interior damage and have autonomy from public utility networks.
An optimized reinforced concrete structure clad with solar panels and perforated metal serves as an air and solar radiation filter to accommodate classrooms on 3 levels and rests above ground through the drinking water cisterns and battery cellar subway. The space between supports on the second floor is used as a shaded space for access and exchange between the campus and the building.
