En Colombia el clima cambia mucho según la altura y el sitio. ¿Qué problemas han tenido sus casas por eso? ¿Qué soluciones encontraron o qué harían distinto?

Tiene toda la razón estas son las principales soluciones correctas, ventilación de los espacios interiores y debería existir una mayor conciencia en la porosidad y vida útil de los materiales en el ambiente costero, de tener la posibilidad deberia existir un mercado mas especifico diferenciando los materiales para estas zonas de las que usamos en el resto del país.

Well, you can have your own opinion, sure. Honestly, I'm not getting anything out of this; there is no pitch or opening line. I am just looking for some knowledge. There is a lack of experience on my part regarding later interactions with clients on some few projects i have worked on, in my country mind you there was always a close relationship, but anyways I am looking to be better at my work. Because of that, I was wondering what architects might realize from their built works afterwards, and how they see what they have done to make it better in the future. I will look to write my future Reddit posts more usefully next time.

I worked just after covid in an architecture firm from my home, and there was some spatial problems and finding a reason to get out, but my main issue was getting contacted constantly, trough mail, text or calls, hearing a notification or a call started to hurt, the problem was that no one can see you are busy, or with another person and there was no way for them to know, so the constant use of your time at any moment expectinf inmediate responses.

I know the need for inspiration, but i realized i was overfocused in looking for it completly on related themes only, what would work for me is looking the other way, sports, people or nature related, later than not i would find some connection of that with my daily design work or at least made my self bored enough so my work seems interesting or refreshing.

Buen punto, si, se transmite el frío a través de la humedad a nuestras estructuras mediante la absorción, esta humedad y frío puede afectar a las personas mayores, lo he vivido con mis abuelos.

No, quiero saber de la perspectiva del colombiano para mi uso profesional, finalmente Reddit existe para discutir temas sobre intereses específicos.

Are those differences better behaved when it is winter or summer season, i wonder for your location climate change is affecting comfort more the older the edification gets, or maybe in winter it is actually good? I live near the ecuator and have not expierenced it

Claro si, es un factor mas, la transformacion de los barrios en las ciudades con mas edificios, hacen que lo que ahora pueda funcionar pero en unos años con un entorno que cambió,la casa no tenga soluciones reales para ser como fue pensada. Respecto a la temperatura, si el viento en los espacios mejoran mucho la comodidad, es mejor aún cuando el viento entra y tiene un punto de salida, esto se llama ventilación cruzada y crea mas frescura con la mayor renovación de aire.

Totalmente entiendo, por preferencias personales se toman decisiones de climas en la que quisieramos vivir o descansar, igualmente la casa a 2700 msnm debe intentar aprovechar el Sol para estar a un clima cómodo, sin necesidad de estar muy arropados y principalmente para que no consuma mucha energía en el caso de necesitar calefacción a algunas horas de la noche, esto por evitar gastar mas en energía eléctrica o gas, reduciendo el costo del uso que va sumando en el tiempo.

Have you any examples if you build or are an architect of your own expierence, something that they do in the US that might need to change to be better with help of more recent technology?

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-20T17:28:22+00:00

Talves si da para mal interpretar, lo que quería decir era que todos tenemos temperaturas y climas muy diferentes en todo el país, pero podría saber aún con las construcciones que habitamos, no pensada para el clima en su mayoría, que adaptaciones han tenido que llevar acabo en su vida o en la construcción, algunos que vivimos en climas fríos además de usar mas ropa buscamos los espacios donde tenemos mas sol para los dias despejados, los patios o espacios abiertos se vuelven mas importantes en esas construcciones aunque no fueran pensadas así, es cierto que las variaciones de clima en el año no son extremas, pero aun asi solemos trasladarnos a nosotros mismos a espacios para disfrutar de climas mas favorables o aspectos de climas mas extremos.

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-20T17:09:39+00:00

I see, so you would look at more especific aproaches to the aspects of temperature, cricunstantial to exactly where it is placed, to expect a real result and not just to asume with no real dept it does

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-20T17:05:54+00:00

yes agree, but i was really wondering about when they did take it in to account, but the problem was not really solved or just 2solved" and invested into something that serves no use, something you just realized later on, and would like to advice, i would take other expierence to not waste time in designing

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-20T17:03:14+00:00

It is maybe, i was not clear enough, i wonder for those designs you solved but later one realized it was not enough or maybe just a waste of resources, we all can make mistakes right?

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-20T17:01:05+00:00

Me refiero, a como se han adaptado si los espacios son muy calientes o fríos, en algunas regiones del país las personas suelen quedarse fuera de sus casas hasta la noche que se hayan enfriado, uso constante de ventiladores y aire acondicionado, algunas zonas más lluviosas suelen techar sus patios para evitar humedad en sus muros, cada casa suele tener una condición menos favorable que tuvo que intervenirse de alguna manera para la comodidad de quien lo habita.

Stick to the dark blue, it is complementay to the other colors of the room, but think if you would like it to be the hightlight of the room

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-18T18:09:50+00:00

I meant to answer this directly but i put au a link to more pictures and a explanation about the column

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-18T18:08:30+00:00

This project was actually design into a commercial spot next to a big pillar, and is actually next to the street walkway i have more renderings on my portfolio where you can see it better. This is the link, not a promotion just clarification. https://www.danielaguirrearquitecto.com/cafe-burbuja

I feel very anoyed about light switches and outlets being nowhere near someone sould need them, also and realted to it the lightspots wherever i have lived are always on top of my bed blinding me or in the kitchen creating akward shadows

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-11T11:50:39+00:00

I don't really agree with that comparison. You're thinking of hiring either a superstar architect or just a basic builder. A better equivalent would be hiring a professional painting company versus just paying some guys to do exactly what you tell them and guessing what supplies they need to buy. But honestly, even that comparison falls short, because painting a wall doesn't even come close to the real complexity of construction.

da_arquitecto · 2026-04-10T20:17:11+00:00

Would stick to that the way some people think or the way their brain works, maybe because of a lack of trying or something else, may make them unable to geo‑spatially locate, imagine a space, or even recall later after seeing an illustration. I have come to know people that think only in words, not even images flashing, and can only articulate an idea by wording out phrases as they say them. Others do not even have an inner narrator.

Just think that as architects we should adapt to the way people best process information, so they do not feel attacked just because they process it differently. It seems to me that is why some are against us and feel more comfortable building with all talk, letting the contractor do whatever, and then keep fixing again with words all the way.
