Contratados por la empresa francesa THALES, desarrollamos, en un terreno expropiado contiguo al espacio verde, esta estrecha estación procurando dialogar de la mejor manera posible con la anterior estación que estaba tan bien lograda y que reservó un espacio para esta integración en el nivel intermedio; posteriormente gran parte del terreno expropiado se convirtió en área verde.

Descripción del proyecto
Esta edificación se encuentra en la trama urbana de Cochabamba, adyacente al Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Wilsterman, y cuenta con características de autonomía, instalaciones y seguridad.
El edificio principal, de dos plantas, está dividido en dos alas: una militar y otra civil, que se unen en las Salas de Controladores y de Situación. Se dispone de un espacio central de acceso en planta baja, donde se encuentra el Comandante. Cada ala cuenta con oficinas a lo largo de 50 metros, dispuestas en un esquema de planta libre que permite futuras redistribuciones. En los extremos norte, hay ambientes de esparcimiento con ventanales de piso a techo controlados por apersianamientos de aluminio microperforado.
En planta baja, la recepción y el control de acceso están diseñados con un doble control, y las salas de Control de Tráfico Aéreo y la Sala de Situación se ubican en una zona sin ventanas, insonorizadas con dobles muros. También hay un pequeño auditorio para 50 personas y una terraza de esparcimiento.
lamentablemente el proyecto no se ha construido acorde a las especificaciones arquitectónicas principales y ha perdido mucho de su arquitectura en la ejecución, que lamentablemente no pudimos supervisar.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER
Cochabamba, Bolivia
Hired by the French company THALES, we developed, on an expropriated land adjacent to the green space, this narrow station trying to dialogue in the best possible way with the previous station that was so well achieved and that reserved a space for this integration at the intermediate level; later a large part of the expropriated land became a green area.
This building is inserted in the urban fabric of the city, but within the military premises adjacent to the Jorge Wilsterman International Airport in the city of Cochabamba, which is why the forecast of different characteristics of autonomy, facilities and security were considered.
The main building, with two floors, is a building that responds to a functional fact: two working wings, one for military use and the other for civil use, which converge and join at the far end where the Main Rooms of Controllers and the Situation Room. In addition, a central access space has been added on the ground floor, on the top floor of which is the Commander of the facilities. In this way, the building appears to function as a capital “A”.
Each wing has different office environments throughout a 50-meter-long building. These 11-meter wide rectangles have been developed under a column-free plan outline. This characteristic allowed future redistribution and other functions in the inside without much impediment, an essential characteristic of buildings of these characteristics throughout the world.
At the north end of each wing, there are spaces for recreation and rest, or meeting rooms. For this reason, large windows have been installed, from floor to ceiling, which allow the entry of light, however, the entry of the sun is controlled by micro perforated aluminum louvers. It will be these elements at both ends of the building (on the “legs” of the “A”), which will mark the aesthetics and corporate presence of the facilities.
In the central sector, on the ground floor is the reception and access control to the entire building, with a double control depending on the wing to which the officials are directed. This access room has an inclined plane, which cuts the volumetric cylinder allowing a clear reading by the user of the presence of the ground floor access and in this volume.
As mentioned before, the Air Traffic Control rooms and the Situation Room are located at the rear of the building, in an area free of windows and natural light, and free from outside noise due to the existence of double walls with acoustic insulation between the two.
In the central sector, on the ground floor, there is a small auditorium for 50 people. Above this space there is a recreation terrace for officials who have such strenuous control shifts.
