Project description: Architectural design of Underground Parking between 96th and 97th streets The City of Bogotá, under new zoning laws encouraged the design of new open spaces for both pedestrians and bicycle users, and at the same encouraged the use of public transport and underground parking near transit stations within the center core and highly congested areas. The project was located in the north area of Bogota, where retail and an important office development has grown in the last years. Today 96th and 97th streets are informal and deteriorated parking areas. The project aimed through a low-impact intervention, attract more parking spaces, and substantially improve the public space. A total of 254 vehicles and 52 motorcycles was planned to have on both underground parking areas, and improve the upper urban space for pedestrians.   Work performed: Architectural design
