Building Resilience in Bogota
connecting ecological & public space --- a better Bogota life
The aim of this project is to improve city green infrastructure for the informal area (Bogotá), build a resilient urban environment and create a sustainable life for people who live there.
This project mainly consists of three parts. Firstly, having visited along the route, collaged the impression and drawn the sections, we understand and analyze the basic situation of Bogotá, then we summarize the main problems of the plot. Secondly, we generate the design concepts in three aspects on the landscape scale, public spaces, green spaces and the connectivity among those spaces. In addition, we lead out us of manifesto - building an energetic green & public spaces net. Thirdly, on the neighborhood scale, we choose three areas to design and show the details of the sections. Section 1 is about the connectivity which talks about upgrading the green transportation and facilities. Section 2 is about the public square which talks about the space design, the activities that could happen there and how to improve the buildings around the public spaces. Section 3 is about the green space referring to the wetland design, water treatment and how the community connecting with it.

This picture is the two axes we chose. The red one is the cable car line. We set up many new squares under the cable car station and the pillars. These squares will attract people from surrounding schools, churches and community centres which increase the vitality of public space. The green line connects the essential green areas in a series, and we transform the existing grey park into green parks. Many new green parks are being built at the same time as well.
The illustration on the right is about ecology. We built a green corridor along the river, designed the wetland flood storage node at the river junction, and transformed the public buildings and dwellings along the pedestrian-oriented roads into green buildings to make the community more resilient. Moreover，afforestation will be carried out on the bare soil surface to improve the ecological environment damaged by human activities. In terms of connectivity, we will improve the situation of the pr
Our manifesto is Build an energetic green & public net. The red line represents public Spaces, the green line represents green public Spaces, and the yellow line represents areas at risk of landslides and flooding. According to the combination of these three lines, we have obtained three specific design sites. The first is the design of the cable car station square, the second is the design of the wetland park, and the third is the design of the pedestrian-oriented roads.
