Abstract
El colegio alemán Alexander von Humboldt fue diseñado entre los años
1958 y 1964 por el arquitecto Paul Linder para un contexto rural. Sin
embargo, en la actualidad el colegio se presenta como un equipamiento
aislado y privado que no genera respuesta alguna antes las nuevas
dinámicas urbanas que se dan a su alrededor.
A raíz de esta situación se busca rediseñar los límites urbanos de los
colegios de lima en los alrededores del óvalo de Higuereta a través de
la implementación de programa comercial y educativo-cultural; y la
ampliación del espacio público peatonal para que este logre un carácter
de infraestructura cívica.
El resultado de la intervención es un centro educativo que, a pesar de
ser privado, reconoce las nuevas dinámicas urbanas que existen a su
alrededor y logra conectarse con las necesidades de la ciudad; además,
ofrece la oportunidad de desarrollar nuevas actividades a la comunidad.
Asimismo, esto se da a través de nuevos edificios que sirven como piezas
de articulación urbana que ofrecen nuevos programas y se relacionan
con el lenguaje; y estrategias aplicadas en el proyecto de origen.
En conclusión, en la actualidad los colegios son equipamientos privados
que encierran en sí mismos; sin embargo, ante la constante demanda de
infraestructura cultural y educativa en diversas zonas de Lima, es posible
que estos tomen un carácter de infraestructura cívica y puedan aportar
a las nuevas dinámicas urbanas. Ante esta situación, la reconfiguración
de los límites urbanos del colegio Alexander von Humboldt logra que el
centro educativo sea una nueva infraestructura cívica que puede ofrecer
nuevas actividades a comunidad de lo rodea aparte de adicionar nuevos
espacios de desarrollo para sus alumnos.
The German Alexander von Humboldt School was designed between 1958 and 1964 by the architect Paul Linder for a rural context. However, currently the school is presented as an isolated and private facility that does not generate any response to the new urban dynamics that occur around it. As a result of this situation, we seek to redesign the urban limits of the schools in Lima around the Higuereta oval through the implementation of a commercial and educational-cultural program; and the expansion of public pedestrian space so that it achieves the character of civic infrastructure. The result of the intervention is an educational center that, despite being private, recognizes the new urban dynamics that exist around it and manages to connect with the needs of the city; In addition, it offers the opportunity to develop new activities for the community. Likewise, this occurs through new buildings that serve as pieces of urban articulation that offer new programs and are related to language; and strategies applied in the original project. In conclusion, currently schools are private facilities that contain themselves; However, given the constant demand for cultural and educational infrastructure in various areas of Lima, it is possible that these take on the character of civic infrastructure and can contribute to new urban dynamics. Given this situation, the reconfiguration of the urban limits of the Alexander von Humboldt school makes the educational center a new civic infrastructure that can offer new activities to the surrounding community in addition to adding new development spaces for its students.
