Universidad Mónica Herrera

Universidad Mónica Herrera

​

A facade designed for living.

 

Mónica Herrera's communication faculty is currently situated in a warehouse building with a closed curtain wall, which is not ideal for its location in El Salvador where ventilation and shade protection are the primary comfort considerations.

The project aims to renovate and improve the accessibility of the existing building.

This addition to an existing faculty building fosters indoor-outdoor interaction and transforms the original infrastructure.

Shifting from energy-intensive climate control systems to passive strategies enhances comfort and creates new spaces for student engagement.​​​​

Floor Area: 350 m3 (315m2 building surface) facade extension

Year: 2023
