• the integral education must be understood as a supportive process between professors and students motivated by the community of objectives; therefore, the active participation of each other in this process is required without meaning the participation of students in managerial and administrative functions of the institution.

• Both the integral education of engineers and other tasks that the colombian school of Engineering Julio Garavito carries out will be referred to a conceptual framework focusing on the study and knowledge of the colombian reality, so the engineers educated in the school can be in a position to formulate solutions to national problems and carry them out successfully.

• in the development of all its activities, the colombian school of Engineering Julio Garavito will keep absolute independence from all political, racial, economic or religious creeds and, therefore, will be outside all partisan interest for such beliefs.

stAtEMEnt OF principLEs(siGnEd By tHE FOundErs On OctOBEr 20, 1972)

El Otoño coliseum is a cultural and sports center built with the priority of providing the community with a space to integrate sports and cultural activities which promote the welfare of all.

the architectural complex, designed by the firm Anzellini Garcia- reyes Architects, has been raised in three bodies that host sporting, educational and wellness spaces which can be enabled for cultural activities. the design and construction involve engineering firms whose partners and employees are graduates of the school, for example Aceraq, Botero ibañez, M&G Engineers, Oscar Giraldo & co. and Gamma Ltd.

nAturEthe project is an architectural monument to sports and

culture. its central cover of harmonic curves allow the perception of the functions to be fulfilled:

• it has a central nave housing fields and an impressive center of cultural events. it is organized in two zones: to the south, the area covered and closed with basketball courts and to the north, the covered and open zone with volleyball and indoor soccer courts.

• two two-floor side naves flanking the central nave, designed for sport and cultural support activities.

• Bridge- beam between the basketball and volleyball courts. it is the central support of the deck and is used as the gallery for entertainment.

• Metal center cover

• Flat side covers that are useful as terraces.

• Metal structure of columns and beams in the central nave.

• structure of reinforced concrete arcades in the side aisles with surface facades made of brick.

tEcHnicAL And sustAinABiLity critEriAthe project coordinates with precision technical variables in

the management of the structure, the construction system, the light, the acoustics, the climate, the components and materials.

it is based on the concept of sustainability including bioclimatic factors, design by coordinated systems for easy maintenance, choice of energy saving and recycling.

Bioclimatic. the orientation of the coliseum allows controlling the natural fall of the sunlight and the minimum energy consumption for daytime electric lighting. the arrangement of the tilting of the window frames facilitates cross circulation of breeze for natural ventilation and release of hot air from inside.

Water supply system and networks. the hydraulic, sanitary, electrical and voice and data networks will be on display, organized in trays along circulation corridors of buildings 1 and 2 allowing their permanent inspection and adaptation to changing uses.

recycling. Water, according to its origin (company of Aqueduct and sewerage of Bogota, EAAB, deep well or rain water) will be used separately for human consumption or toileting. Likewise, the treatment of the discharges will be differentiated.

security. the set incorporates the safety criteria as prescribed in the building code of Bogota, the nFpA regulations against

fire, the nsr-10 regulations and in general, regulations for human security.

FunctiOnAL critEriAthe project has been conceived in the manner of multi-use

equipment that combines sports and cultural activities for both the school community and external users. the zoning allows for great flexibility in combining educational activities in small enclosures, as well as social and cultural activities in a large extended central enclosure.
