Centro de Permacultura y Aprendizaje

Project idea

A permaculture and learning center that integrates territory, society, and time, featuring innovative architectural solutions including rainwater harvesting systems, timber structural frameworks, and sustainable building techniques.

Project description

The project proposes a permaculture and learning center designed as an innovative architectural intervention. The building is organized through a layered system: a timber post-and-beam structural framework using eucalyptus wood, a polycarbonate roofing system, rainwater collection devices, and vegetated filter systems. The program includes classrooms, a seed library, workshops, greenhouses, composting areas, and collection/storage zones. The design emphasizes sustainable construction methods and environmental responsiveness.

Technical information

The structure consists of timber portal frames made from solid eucalyptus wood. The roof is clad in translucent polycarbonate panels allowing natural light penetration. Rainwater harvesting devices are integrated into the roof structure with collection funnels. The building incorporates vegetated filter channels for water treatment. The construction system uses modular timber connections and the overall assembly is detailed through an exploded axonometric showing four key layers: structure, roofing, vegetated filter systems, and rainwater collection devices.
