Medellin social housing experiment

ARCHmedium announces its new architectural competition for students and young graduates MEDELLIN SOCIAL HOUSING EXPERIMENT.

PROPOSAL
The local government of Medellin intends to handle the housing program in the near future. Every year the population of Medellin grows by about 30,000 due to a flow of people from the countryside and into the city. These people usually settle in self-built houses on the mountainside, expanding the city limits in an informal and uncontrolled manner. Through the established program, we propose to regenerate the city through a new mix of building uses in the historic downtown area. Currently, the center of the city is mostly given tertiary use (office buildings and commerce). This project revolves around implementing new residential use by reformulating the adjacent public spaces in a way that includes housing.

A jury composed by six internationally recognized architects will vote the winning projects according to the contest criteria:
• Jordi Badía - President
• Josep Bohigas - Piso piloto
• Zaida Muxí - Housing lab
• Ethel Baraona - Architecture critic
• Federico Ortiz - Young architect
• Julio Serna - Local architect
