ACADEMIC WORK

Abstract

​

The purpose of this work is to formulate the development of an architectural design proposal that interconnects a solid waste classification and processing plant located in illegal landfills (VIRS),
with public space and environmental education facilities. Thus contributing to the reduction of landfills, in addition to generating monetary income with the sale of the resulting material,
contributing to the economic sustainability of the project through a business model. In addition, the implementation of public space at its level of access, proposing the general guidelines to establish a
typological project that allows implementation in places that meet certain implementation parameters.

A case study is developed, located in the western end of the commune of Cerro Navia, commune that lacks public space, besides having a significant amount of surface affected by the VIRS. The proposal proposes a solution adaptable to two types of terrain (slope and horizontal terrain), generating a typological architecture proposal for these two placement options.

 

Through the investigation in the respective institutions, it seeks to quantify the resources used
for the cleaning of VIRS and thus demonstrate that the collection, treatment and subsequent sale of
residual material that is housed in the public space is a profitable way that contributes to the triad of
economic, social and environmental sustainability.
