低技水培模块化建筑丨哥伦比亚

本项目旨在支持波哥大San Luis非正规社区的社区领袖与组织，如Cesar Salomón及Fondacio Altos del Cabo，他们七年来持续合作，通过共建与赋能，已影响数百位居民，并推动了水培农业计划，为这一自建环境中肥胖与糖尿病高发的健康危机提供饮食替代方案。

The project supports the initiatives of local community leaders and organizations, such as Cesar Salomón and Fondacio Altos del Cabo, who have been collaborating, engaging, and working together for seven years in the informal neighborhood of San Luis in Bogotá. These collaborations have impacted hundreds of residents and have supported the hydroponic farming initiative as a healthy food alternative in Bogotá’s self-built environments, where obesity and diabetes are among the most prevalent diseases.

水培是一种无需土壤、通过惰性基质或富含营养的水溶液进行种植的系统，适用于垂直种植布局。相比传统农业，其种植密度可提高2至10倍，节水率高达60%，能在任何季节和气候下实现更健康、高效的农作物生产。在城市高密度自建区中，水培为土地资源紧张问题提供了可行的解决路径。

Hydroponics is a farming system in which plants grow in an inert substrate or directly in a nutrient-rich water solution, allowing for vertical crop organization. This method offers plant densities 2 to 10 times higher, water savings of up to 60%, healthier food production, and the ability to cultivate in any climate or season. Given the high density of self-built urban environments, hydroponics becomes an excellent alternative to traditional agriculture, which requires extensive land area.

由Alsar Atelier与Oscar Zamora联合设计，并由NEACOL资助的水培模块结构，建筑策略聚焦于将工业货架系统——一种典型的消费性材料——转化为快速搭建、可重复利用的社会化建筑解决方案。鉴于非正规城市建设的临时性与不稳定性，而传统材料如混凝土与砖块却具强烈的永久性，该模块被设想为轻质、半永久结构，更贴合此类地区的现实状态。

The architectural design of the module, developed by Alsar-Atelier + Oscar Zamora and financed by NEACOL, is based on the repurposing of an industrial shelving system—typically a consumerist material—into a socially viable construction solution that is fast and reusable. The physical reality of informal cities is ever-changing and ephemeral due to occupation and legal issues, yet the predominant construction materials remain concrete and brick, which are inherently permanent. Therefore, the module is conceived as a lightweight, semi-permanent structure that fits into this territorial reality.

模块亦具可拆卸性，构件可恢复原始用途，避免建筑废弃物，同时具备可迁移性，便于在其他空地上重建并根据场地条件调整体量。该模块不仅是一种可快速运输、搭建、拆解和重复使用的水培设施（施工周期可控制在一周内），更作为一所“类比学校”发挥教育作用，为Altos del Cabo中心提供空间，开展社区水培种植培训。同时，它也为居民提供用于个人耕作、节水实践与集体后期处理的场所，推动包容性与自我管理机制的形成。

Additionally, the project anticipates the need to dismantle the construction, allowing components to return to their original use, preventing waste generation, or being relocated to another vacant lot where the modular design can be adjusted in size. Beyond being a hydroponic module that adapts industrial shelving for easy transportation, assembly/disassembly, reuse, mobility, and reduced construction time (down to one week), the project also serves as an analog school. It will support the Centro Altos del Cabo by training the community through new hydroponic farming workshops. Furthermore, it will provide space for personal on-site cultivation, sustainable water use, and collective post-harvest activities, promoting inclusion and self-management practices.

设计融入城市园艺课程，并使用Chapinero种子银行保存的23种本地及传统作物种子。项目最终成为一座具备战术性、可持续性与低成本特质的建筑原型，为哥伦比亚自建社区的复杂问题提出切实回应。

The design integrates with urban gardening workshops and utilizes the Chapinero seed bank, which preserves 23 native and heirloom species. In conclusion, the project is an excellent example of tactical, sustainable, and low-cost architecture addressing the challenges of self-built environments in Colombia.
