0. Cusco City Block. Excursions on density

The exercise aims to achieve two main goals:

1. An accurate knowledge of the forms of the built environment (urban set-tlements and their composition, density and edification rules).

2. Some densification hypotheses of the existing urban fabric based on the coefficients imposed by the new PDU of the city.

The exercise will be led by groups of three / four students. Each group will work on one (or more) of the urban blocks selected to conduct the survey.

Each group will work on the block using the dwg maps, the satellite images, and the photographs of the place.

1. Metric Survey

- Measures of the block and its lots: Height of the single buildings (meters) and number of the levels, Coeficiente de edificacion (total surface of the building / surface of the lot), Volume (cubic meter, Percentage of built-up surface / open surface (squared meters / squared meters = x%) - Isometric Axonometry of the block: two different views from two opposite angles (as in slide 39, 1:500 scale

- Model 1:500 scale (including half of the streets section facing the block). Material: paper and cardboard.

2. Densification

- Find the densification related to the block (from PDU).

- Consider the possibility of adding 2-storey maximum to the height of bu-ildings.

- Assume the percentage of the unbuilt area as a minimum quantity.

- Formulate three hypotheses of the block densification: two with the den-sification of the 50% of the existing lots. The third one with the 100% den-sification of the block.

- Represent the design assumptions through excel files, axonometric views and 1:500 scale models.

- Remeber that the final project has the ambition to become an architecture

The exercise is slitted in two phases:

1. Metric surveys and first densification proposalMarch 11th.

2. Final densification proposalsMarch 18th.
