"Estudiantes House: A Brutal Architectural Masterpiece"
Estudiantes House, designed by BRUTAL Taller de Arquitectura, is a residential building located in Rancho Santa Martha that provides accommodation for university students from low-income backgrounds. The building features separate men's and women's rooms, high ceilings, independent terraces, and gardens to maintain clean and fresh air. The design incorporates passive ventilation through a central staircase and emphasizes safety and interaction among residents. Built through donations, the building utilizes simple construction techniques and materials, including Adblock and common blocks, with minimal maintenance requirements. The facades are adorned with garden areas, adding color and protecting the walls from the sun. The project aims to integrate into its surroundings and promote sustainable living.
