Work Water
URBAN RELATIONS: The proposal urban piece locates historically surrounded and affected by the peculiar activities of the traditional centers of the Latin-American cities.
Particularly the destined place in Bogotá for the artistic piece is a traffic circle road that has been the result of the mobility solutions due to demands of the self-propelled of the city in the latest decades.
The traffic road is located in one of the principal accesses by the environmental axis to the historic and cultural center of the city.
The hydrological phenomenon and its transformation throughout the time in the place are taken as a starting point to conceive a work that strengthens the collective and historical memory of Bogotá. Making its spectators be conscious of these changes in the natural and urban scenery through the past knowledge.
In addition, it adds the name of the neighborhood ‘’Las Aguas’’ due to the church of Our Lady of ‘’Las Aguas’’ located in t opposite side of our work on the environmental axis.
So, the work is titled ‘’AGUA’’ (water) because it comes back this element of the natural and original scenery over the urban built scenery that has been superimposed over on it.
STRUCTURAL APPROACH: According to the morphology, the work divides structurally 3 zones that work independently over a reinforced concrete plate.
The distinction is made by the place and heights; the first zone owns the lowest elements that have to be reinforced individually to resist the bending moment with buttresses in a perpendicular direction to the profiles, the second zone has the highest elements which work together by a metal truss of the same material that unite them, and the third zone combine the both mentioned systems, the individual reinforcements for the lowest elements and a reinforcement truss to the couple of high profiles that it has.
TRANSFORMATION OF THE SCENERY THROUGH THE TIME
1.Natural and original scenery
2.First urbanizations
3.Superimposing on hydrological bodies
4.The resurgence of the water.
VIBRATION OF THE WATER FOR SOUND WAVES
•Urban noise, natural scenery
•Urban noise, low population density
•Urban noise, high population density
TRANSPARENCIES AND BINDING PERSPECTIVES
Visually the project works as a translucent element that permits the correlation of the urban and natural scenery through the formal permeability.

Hello, An!
Very nice article and idea. You can improve it by making a more clear introduction and separating the conclusion. Also it seems that you use words found in the dictionary that do not quite fit.
One way to rewrite introduction:
This article discusses an urban development plan designed for the historic part of Bogotá. The considered area is located in the central part of this Latin American city. The plan proposes renovation of a roundabound involving an installation of a 3-zone artistic piece in the inner part of it. It is a sophisticated project that not only solves the complex issues accumulated on this busy site during the latest decades, but also brings a new image to the neighborhood.
