ARQU 6316 - Capstone Project
Jan - May 2016
Gurabo, Puerto Rico
Architect Andrés Mignucci Giannoni
45 acres
The Capstone project proposes the redevelopment of the Experimental Agricultural Station located in the municipality of Gurabo. Using the old Experimental Dairy as a base and support anchor, the project looks for the fusion of three main components: education, research and agricultural practice. From these three components, an academic site and research center will be developed that will allow us to educate and train both students, professionals and society as a whole. In addition, we propose a business component that allows the production and reuse of agricultural land, developing our native product, and defining our own agricultural strategies and policies.
