Abstract
Dette speciale foreslår et bæredygtigt og tilpasningsdygtigt fællesskabscenter i Buenos Aires, en by i det sydlige Costa Rica. Centret samler kulturelle, uddannelsesmæssige og besøgsaktiviteter for at styrke både fællesskab og personlig udvikling. Fordi regionen er underudviklet og stærkt præget af ananasplantager, forstås bæredygtighed her som både en miljømæssig og social opgave. Designet kombinerer lokale materialer med strategier, der forbedrer energiydelsen, fx ved at sænke energiforbruget. Traditionelle byggemetoder og nye løsninger bruges i samspil for at finde løsninger, der respekterer naturen og den lokale kultur. Da brugere og behov vil ændre sig over tid, planlægges bygningen som et foranderligt system. Specialet beskriver tre centrale brugergrupper over en tidslinje og viser, hvordan rum kan forvaltes forskelligt i de forskellige faser af bygningens liv.
This thesis proposes the design of a sustainable and adaptable community center for Buenos Aires, a town in southern Costa Rica. The center brings together cultural, educational, and visitor activities to support both community life and personal growth. Because the region is underdeveloped and heavily shaped by pineapple plantations, sustainability is treated as both an environmental and a social challenge. The design combines local materials with strategies that improve energy performance, such as reducing energy use. Traditional building practices and new solutions are used together to find approaches that respect the local environment and culture. Since users and needs will change over time, the building is planned to evolve. The thesis outlines three main user groups along a timeline and shows how spaces can be managed differently at each stage of the building’s life.
