CARLOS ZEBALLOS. PORTFOLIO.

ABOUT ME I am an architect and urban designer with great interest in landscape. My passion for understanding the relation of landscape and architecture in different cultures has led me to visit more than 60 countries in 5 continents. Over the years I have documented, discussed and written extensively about these ideas, and have applied them in personal or collective urban and architectural design projects in several countries.

INTERFASES

“The concept of INTERFACE is based upon recognizing the critical point of intersection between different systems,

where the major exchange of matter, energy and

information is most likely to be located…”

Rubén Pesci.

La ciudad de la Urbanidad.

A catalyst is an urban element that is shaped by the city and then, in turn, shapes its context. Its purpose is the incremental,

continuous regeneration of the urban fabric.

The important point is that the catalyst is not a single end

product but an element that impels and guides subsequent

development.

Catalysts in the Design of Cities

Waterfront Masterplan, Vladivostok, Russia.

The method of interfaces focuses in the identification of the most representative and synergistic aspects of and auban, landscape or architectural problem in order to propose more specific and efficient solutions. Furthermore, this systemic approach requires a set of tools in order to understand the diverse nature of the site and its multiple bonds with the city and focuses on the interrelations of the problem and its context. In processes like urban landscape design or renewal, the method of intefaces intends to achieve a a positive, controlled and catalytic effect in the surrunding areas. The following are some examples in diffetent scales in which I applied the method of intefaces. .

Master plan of Vladivostok Waterfront

Water is a protagonist in Vladivostok's landscape, however, very few public spaces allow public to the waterfront.

This master plan was designed as a tool to revitalize the city’s downtown and its relation with the waterfront, creating or remodeling public spaces to promote social activities. The aim was to create a practical proposal with an academic and methodological framework. Firstly, we analyzed the evolution of the city’s relation with the sea and identifies its morphology, spatial configuration, and expressions of mental landscape. This stage was conducted along with the students of Far Eastern Federal University in Russia. Secondly, using GIS techniques, I identified the major interfaces and proposed them as catalyzers for improving the surrounding areas. Finally, I proposed a model for the renovation of Vladivostok’s waterfront areas, by means of an integrated network of public spaces that would substantially increase the offer of public areas and improve the relation between the city and the sea from a social, economic and environmental perspective.

monumental) that structure the proposal and the accessibility points

The proposed spatial model structures a network of key projects and interventions that aim to have a positive impact in their surroundings. It also takes into account the recent urban renovations as well as the city’s historical heritage. Moreover, the plan promotes their interconnectivity through specialized axes or corridors in order to create a continuity between the downtown, the Golden Horn and the Amur Bay.

•Waterfront Metropolitan Park. A large semi abandoned polluted area, where parking lots, industrial dumps, deposits, debris and garbage coexist, a new 20 hectares metropolitan park is proposed. It would house both recreational as well as cultural activities. Landscaping of the park would favour local flora. Spatially, this park will be have a connection with the historical Pokrovskiy Park, locade 400 meters west, by means of the extension of the Krasnogo Znameni Prospect and a succession of plazas and boulevards that would promote spatial fluidity between these two metropolitan green areas. •Integration of industry. While in a short term it will not be possible to eradicate the energy plant located in the waterfront, it is possible to carry out a program in order to gradually reduce its emissions and pollution. Its façade as well as its open areas can be beautified to become an attractive landmark in the urban landscape. Additionally, by means of a process of land reclamation, a public promenade will be created in front of the industry, including attractions such as a fishing pier and cafés or restaurants.

•Waterfront public green areas: A system of green areas is proposed by the development of three tasks: the improvement of existing parks, the creation of new public spaces and the articulation of these by means of corridors or pedestrian areas. The character and function of each area will depend on its surrounding activities, reinforcing the character of the axis upon which it is located.

A new plaza is proposed as a roof of an existing railroad

TINGO AND SACHACA, URBAN-ARCHITECTURAL RENOVATION

Tingo is a located 4 km south of Arequipa, Peru, next to the Chili River, Due to its many springs and milder weather, it became a traditional place for water

recreation and local cousine.

Facing Tingo, on the other bank, stands the Sachaca Palace, a 18th century mansion which dominates the

riverscape.

In the lower part, La Parada is an informal market that visually and physically contaminates the environment.

CARLOS ZEBALLOS, JOSE A. OVIEDO

The proposal has 3 approaches:

•METROPOLITAN LEVEL: to provide Arequipa of a park specialized in watersports. •URBAN LEVEL: an urban renovation that would link both basins of the river –Tingo and Sachaca- enhancing their traditional character and at the same time creating a multipurpose landscaped waterfront park. •ARCHITECTURAL LEVEL: To propose a number of buildings that will reinforce the sporting, recreational and touristic role of the area. These include: -An Olympic swimming pool and facilities. - A Diving pool. - A Multipurpose Sports Hall. - Bungallows and services. -A panoramic Restaurant -A discoteque -A hotel

This proposal for the Ahmdo Costal Park in Incheon, South Korea, was developed around a rock formation in the coast. Since Incheon City is considered as a “gate” to Korea, due to its International Airport and the Port, the Ahmdo Coastal Park was conceptualized as a welcoming landmark, particularly visible from the bridges, which link the city and the air terminal. The park symbolizes the combination of nature and manmade structures, as well as stressing the historical connection of the city and water, while resembling a ship floating on the water.
