FAQ ONLY QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED TO PROPERLY REGISTERED ARCHITECTS IN THE CONTEST .

Please see also the FAQ in English. Write to rascacielos@arquitectum.com Due to requests from many architects around the world, SKYSCRAPER Contest 2013 has been open to ANY ARCHITECT OF ANY NATIONALITY world . This means you can register any architect without any restriction . I write because to see the sketchup of regulations note that the second of the 5 pills of the building ( the second lowest ), which has a width of 9 meters could grow to the red incline increasing its width to 9.90 meters approximately . RPTA : Refer to regulation as is and appears in SketchUp. What is the background of the land withdrawal that finishes generating the buildable area . RPTA : 5 meters (check bases). It is confusing in pursuit of anonymity , recommending send from any email address entered in the register . Could you clarify then that should generate the shipping address ? RPTA : Refers to sending the proposal. Should be sent from the same email address with which you registered . On the basis of competition in English requires an emergency staircase and 2 elevators, but in Spanish bases in service requires two staircases and 4 lifts ... Which is correct ? RPTA : Thanks, it's a typo : should read at least 2 emergency staircases and 4 lifts. The volume and heights suggested in the model are binding Sketchup ? It should follow the profile traced by the red incline SketchUp model ? RPTA : That is correct , it should follow the red line ( the proposed scaling is a "recommendation" of the Municipality ) . In the south faade can reach 100 feet? RPTA : Actually you can reach 102 meters high ( 99 + 3 meters which gives the municipality ) . There is some kind of mandatory retirement in the south faade ? RPTA : No, no . It is mandatory that all houses 400 m2 look to the golf club ? RPTA : Yes , it is.

The meeting rooms can be located at a different level of income level ? RPTA : At the discretion of the contestant. There is a preference for the location of both the generator, apartment deposits , gas tank and cistern ? RPTA : The bases are in many cases recommendations . We left the contestant free to propose a better place. The top-floor penthouse 3 meters should be removed from the front line ? Or should retire three meters of buildable area ? RPTA : No, more like " can grow three meters " ( see previous RPTA ) . Flights are permitted at any of the avenues ? If so , how far ? RPTA : Only 50 inches in the front on Pezet . The Olympic pool can be located at a different level of the ground floor ? RPTA : At the discretion of the designer . The adjoining building on Avenida Pezet shown schematically in the 3D model is distinctly higher than the built really do not understand if it's a model error or any type of situation exemplifies future . RPTA : An example of a future building . The outline of the policy parameters is interpreted as the height of the building on the Avenue Bethlehem must be agreed with gradually decreasing the boundary , but the boundary scheme on this avenue has 15m high and in photographs is the adjoining building is a building of 7 floors gauge which gives us a minimum of 20.8 meters high , so what is the minimum height to which should arrive on avenue Bethlehem? RPTA : 15 meters. Red plane oblique height limits in the file saved with the horizontal angle of 64 degrees in the policy parameters file , this plane ? Must be defined by the angle of 64 degrees ? Or the plane defined by joining the minimum height on an avenue with maximum over the other? RPTA : corresponding grades are shown in the diagram: the staging is a recommendation of the municipality. In the section COMMON SPACES , Common Social Areas in Level , do you have to be a force on the ground floor , or it may be in their submissions , the spatial arrangement to propose another ? RPTA : At the discretion of the contestant ( if you find a better disposition , shall enter into the evaluation of the project ) . In the section COMMON SPACES , Social Areas in Level Common says Multipurpose rooms for 200 people , more does not indicate the number of rooms you wish to enter on the ground

floor , is there still in their submissions to propose the number of Multipurpose halls , complying with the condition of the capacity of 200 people ? RPTA : Is ONE Multipurpose Room for 200 people . The Olympic pool , located on the first floor should be understood as a cover ? RPTA : That is correct , will be covered . It may be located on another level ? RPTA : At the discretion of the designer , but this is the recommendation. The penthouses , will they have private terraces ? , Leave to raise the maximum height for sinks , meet so that each will have a private pool ? RPTA : At the discretion of the designer but remember that the building can not rise more than 102 meters. The ramps will be able to consider retirement in front, 10 meters should be left completely free ? RPTA : Leaving a filler for the car of at least 3.50m may arise within the withdrawals. The balconies will be within the area of withdrawals or should be contemplated within the buildable area given by these ( withdrawals) ? RPTA : They can be in the retirement area but only up to 50cm . What size units considered for an Olympic pool ? RPTA : International standards (at least 25 meters long ) . It could clarify , when you say ( seventh level ) which has exact height the neighboring building overlooking the peaceful direct neighbor of the contest plea plot . RPTA : Not relevant for purposes of the competition but it measures approximately 35 meters high . It is relevant in terms of the views that are generated from the same as discussed in bases, in the item " Special Conditions ", which explains: " They should be exploited view" , they therefore have to turn to apply well confirm if there are seven floors, ground floor and seven floors are 24 meters. Now we are talking about the same building ? when the photo does not seem to be 35 meters, from already thank you for your prompt response. RPTA : The building adjacent to the project at Av Bethlehem has 21 meters. In databases indicated that there should be a parking place for each bedroom. This should include staff bedrooms ? RPTA : No, not included . Regarding the type of glass enclosure , sliding panels can be projected or wind incidence higher floors so disabled and other system should be thought of openings ? RPTA : At the discretion of the designer ( wind chill in Lima but not defining criteria should be

considered "smart" for their solution ) . For the calculation of the garages are taken into account, what room service ? For example the department of 400 m2 has 4 bedrooms and two service , equivalent to 6 or 4 garages plus 30 % . RPTA : No, not taken into account . Regarding the delivery requirements of each panel size 2480x3510px at 300 dpi , it is a size A4, in which it is impossible to place the required information , we may indicate that size of each panel? in centimeters or format, estimated at least one A2 . RPTA : It's a digital film with that ratio (which should send that way ) but the format would be a A0 . Only the resolution in dpi is a suggestion , the rest is mandatory . We find it necessary to have the street level elevation terrain in the official online street or municipal axis which is the ground level , from which height the maximum height be taken . RPTA : Not relevant to this stage of the competition. Consider 0.00 for all sides . When referring to gym for 100 people , it means that each person will use a machine as far as possible specify your ( s ) use ( s ) RPTA : At the discretion of the designer . The penthouse , is considered a separate floor , to add to the 74 units of project , or be included in the 74 units ? In addition if there are any suggestions as to square meters ? RPTA : is included . We must consider aspects of the earthquake in the structure? RPTA : See bases. You must ask for the gym locker rooms or pool ? Is it mandatory? RPTA : At the discretion of the contestant. "Deposits by department " are storage ? Provision should be made at least one deposit per household ? RPTA : One per household where the contestant propose . Could indicate indicative surfaces for both the gym and to the common room ? Would be useful . RPTA : At the discretion of the designer ( see reference in the rules ) . Regarding withdrawals 10 on Avenida Pezet , five sides, five on Avenue Belen, and 5 according to response by background units , asks in its volumetric SketchUp is staggered . Is that true volumetric possible? Or stick occurs if the neighboring building on Bethlehem , is there an outline marker or tangent ? I thank you in because it is a bit confusing written information (databases ) for the graphics. RPTA : That is a possible solution to the volumes applied to the regulatory parmteros . The

real requirement is the red diagonal line . And yes , withdrawals are correct. Under the scheme there is leveling the neighboring building on Av Bethlehem of 5 heights 15 meters , when we replied that dividing was 21 meters, this is so The step from the graph is produced by measuring the same , do not know if it's true that the first escalation occurs at 5 heights retires 10 meters up 7 floors to the second retirement retires 10 meters ( second stage) , back up 7 levels retires 10 meters reaching the third retreat and equally until the fourth withdrawal , since the drawing is generated apparently freehand or the graphics of the program that appears , consult : Are these measures are reliable ? Do you have to be handled with the exact volumetria ? Does the plane indicated in red, is a slope , that is an angle ? Is that plane , can be bound and occupy the triangles ( empty ) ? We note also that the dividing itself perpendicular to the ac pay , the buildable volume or flush sticks with it, is binding as watching photos. The neighboring building gives the impression has aventajamientos . Is there a way to compensate for the slope ? RPTA : Refer to the bases are pretty clear and have not only regulatory measures, but with writing. Otherwise welcome is considered the sole discretion of the contestant. The stairs proposal shall be ventilated prior lobby , or should be pressurized ? RPTA : Yes , preferably ventilated ( see rules) . The subsequent removal of 5.00m in width indicated , generates a light well that does not have statutory minimum dimensions indicated in the RNE ( 1/3 or 1/4 of the height of the building ) . This does not approvable Project in the Municipality of San Isidro. Also generate visual record to neighboring properties . RPTA : As referred parameters , such withdrawal would also be required in the neighboring ranch , so yes it complied meet the Regulations. The visual record is inevitable and because in many neighboring properties . If the end of the building height can reach 102m , I can use it as a floor more , ie 34 floors? RPTA : Yes it is possible . At the discretion of the designer . We see that in the schemes it sticks to buildings are advantaged or open urban space , it is right to do so . This situation occurs in the two places that the outline shows sticking to the two medians , Bethlehem and Pezet ? RPTA : At the discretion of the designer . The plane no angle is referential ? RPTA : It is legal .

Red plane can be compensated ? RPTA : No means "compensate" . The bases mentioned in connection with the retreats ( isolates), 5 meters on the left side , that is, the west side (?) , But in the 3D model of regulatory parameters ( SketchUp) not observed such isolation . To comply with the minimum percentage of free area ( 40 % of lot unbuilt) , this removal is necessary. On the other hand : isolates against adjacent buildings ( both the west side and if necessary to the south) should be at level 0.00 or from what level or floor? Thank you very much . RPTA : Review SketchUp from the top and find respective withdrawals . Withdrawals from 10 cm (for expansion joint) should not be considered at this stage of the competition. It may have openings in the left inner side retreat ( the 5 m ) ? RPTA : Yes , of course. In sketchup is an inclined plane. Do you have any angle that plane ? Can you design in the triangular spaces left empty ? . In national regulation says you can fly up to 50cm in retreats . Bethlehem ? Can fly these 50cm ? RPTA : The angle is referential (given by the staggering requested) . Yes you can design in the triangular spaces empty given as part of the volumes required and yes, you can fly both in Bethlehem and in Pezet 50 cms. Can we build urban images from Google MAPS pair create Illustrative prospects of the proposal ? RPTA : Yes it is possible . Do the elevators can give directly to departments or necessarily have lobby ? . If you lobby can you be a mechanically ventilated ? RPTA : Preferably the elevators should shed directly to departments. If prefer a common lobby this may be part of the common areas of travel and movement . The withdrawals are part of the 40 % minimum required as free area ? . RPTA : Yes , your assessment is correct . Yes it requires an additional sheet for some plants distribution , digital films will be presented as: A: Drawings , B : Perspectives and C : Additional distribution plants or A: Drawings , B : additional distribution plants C : Perspectives . RPTA : At the discretion of the contestant. Do they open windows was the withdrawal of five meters of left field ? What type of boundary is this side ? Is it possible to use this on the first level ? . RPTA : Unable to roofing as part of the free area and yes, you can open windows to the withdrawal. Can you use the area basements subtracted to the three required retirements ?

RPTA : Withdrawals do not apply to the estacionameinto . What is the program you must meet the penthouse ? RPTA : See contest rules . It's just another department . While respecting the permissible total height , is the first level can be raised from the level of the sidewalk? , If so , how much? . In all cases could rise + 1.50m . for the first basement level is considered basement ? RPTA : Yes , you can: their submissions . In a previous question specifies that the stairs NOT be pressurized and must have a ventilated lobby ... They should be located directly in front in order to vent directly to the street? ? It is mandatory prior lobby ? RPTA : This is incorrect: the staircase can be pressurized but FAILURE , shall have a prior ventilated lobby was unroofed area . The gym and the pool should be located preferably at the same level ? RPTA : As previously said , yes. It is preferable that the bedrooms of children do not look to the west front retreat ? or this is of little importance ... RPTA : At the discretion of the designer . Within " design parameters " , in " housing units" says: " as long as it meets the minimum described above departments " ... Can consider more departments of the 74 described ? Is it something positively valuable ? RPTA : The number given is the minimum required , may be more ( at the discretion of the designer ) . The trash chute , must be placed by floor or ground floor common space ? It is necessary to install various waste products , in anticipation of a possible separation of waste for recycling? If yes , how many products would be necessary ? RPTA : Could be more than three (according to the new international standards ) but is at the discretion of the designer . It is necessary to install air conditioning ? Installation should be seen as individual or collective ? RPTA : No air conditioning is mandatory . In the department of 400 m2 , what is referred to as desktop ? We're talking about an office to work at home ? RPTA : That is correct , is a study or office to the homeowner or a family member . You can open openings in the dividing of Avenida Pezet , since the end of the adjoining building , and this also may , by regulation , to grow to 102 feet tall.

RPTA : No , you can not open a dividing from the end of the adjoining building in any respect . The red inclined plane can become covered , wrap, etc? ... RPTA : Yes , yes you can. The roofs of single storey projection can go beyond the swoosh ? RPTA : No, these are the constructive limits . But the bedrooms should have one or two beds ? I say this because in the other houses specified " twin " and the 400m2 not specifies , and I mean if you must have two beds of 1.00 m wide ? RPTA : In the departments of 400 square meters not in the others do . In the first 20 meters of the west facade , just before the internal retreat 5 meters , you can not have openings ? Is this a front blind ? Is it a dividing ? RPTA : A dividing wall and windows can not be opened . On the floor of 400 m2 , service rooms must be double, ie , with two beds, and each room is for an individual service . RPTA : In the departments of 400 m2 each service should be room for one person, in the 250 as well, while the 150 can be double beds. In any event , this is one criterion can be improved depending on the designer. The laundry must be aired in all cases? RPTA : Always. In the house of 250 m2 , what is the difference between " living room " and " room or living room" ... refers to separate the dining environment be? RPTA : Yes , should be separated : the first is social while the second is familiar. If you can fly 50 cm on Avenida Pezet , and balconies can fly 50 cm on the different retreats ... Could a balcony on Avenida Pezet exceeded in 1.00 m . removal of Pezet Avenue ? surpassing only 50 cm of the facade , of course. RPTA : You can blow 50 cts . on the level of retirement. I consulted to confirm if I exclusive condition to participate in the contest that there is at least one Spanish architect in the team , since the bases mentioned " the desire to promote the work of Spanish architects " and in another section " the need to have a Spanish architect . " RPTA : No, the contest has been extended to all the architects of the world without exclusion of nationality. As stated on the basis of the submitted each image must be a rectangle of 2480px by 3510px and recommends delivery to a resolution of 300ppi . If we apply these parameters to a digital image file gives an output size is 420 x 297mm A3 size which does not fit the 4 plants and 2 cuts requested minimum 1:200 scale . We also

believe ( though not yet to empirically check ) that even a A3 size at 300 ppi will overcome quite the 3Mb requested for delivery. RPTA : The question was answered : Blade is digital and resolutions are referential . You should assume the rate but not the size : it must collect the planes in 1/200 or so. Image In Rules ( " Parameter in Plant " ) , the buildable envelope shows an "L " , in which a portion of approximately 20.00m no withdrawal ( remetimiento or restriction as we say in Mexico ) of 5.00 indicated in the boundary WEST , likewise , does not show any withdrawals in SOUTH boundary of the property, is it correct that image envelope , or withdrawal should be throughout the boundary WEST (perpendicular to Pezet ) and SUR (perpendicular to Bethlehem ) ? . RPTA : The picture is correct, refer to it . On the other hand , about the size of the sheet of presentation , according to the pixel dimensions indicated in bases (2480x3510) the resolution of 300 dpi , representing an A4 size , however in a previous answer , you said the sheet size is A0 , could be clearly defined and, regardless of the resolution in dpi's , the size of the picture? , to thus perform the composition of the presentation, because in a A4 size would be very little understood the information . RPTA : The sheets are digital and the recommendation is to format delivery but the important thing is to consider the proportion and scale 1/200 . On the other hand , sending the solved structure , would a positive assessment in the evaluation of projects. RPTA : There should be a "test" expressed structural columns and beams . Nothing more . Each contestant must submit only one proposal , or you may send more than one with the same inscription ? . RPTA : Each contestant may submit as many proposals but these should want to have a different registration number and a registration payment for that turn . Is it valid to consider the use of robotic parking to take advantage of decrease in the heights and the absence of ramps that the advantage offered by these parks to be no movement autovehicular but that would be machined , or must inevitably be traditional ? RPTA : As long as this economy leads to greater profitability in the project, any proposed parking (mechanical or traditional) is welcome. The plant location can be presented in another scale ? RPTA : Yes , this is only referential . The floor of the apartments will be by floor, or may be dispersed in the form of giving a sketch image side reference location ? Otherwise , it is possible that the project can be reduced to a scale of 1:250 for presentation , given the number of types of apartments ? RPTA : Yes , it is possible : at the discretion of the contestants. The area generated by the setbacks of the existing voluntary , as stated by the inclined

plane , will be accounted for apartments there developed , such as the balconies are cantilevered over the avenues ? RPTA : All the constructed area will be accounted for : no other. Could be used as a cover over the penthouse solarium ? RPTA : Provided it is for the owner of the penthouse of the last level , yes. Could build a pergola or some other element of shadow? RPTA : Provided it is for the owner of the penthouse of the last level , yes. It is possible to build some kind of structure from the 102m , but is neither closed nor covered ? RPTA : You can only build to the limit of 102 meters and nothing else. My query is regarding withdrawals , as I indicate bases withdrawals every avenue and then shows a withdrawal of five meters on the left side , until then understand that this recall extends across that side of the field , but then in the volume of the Sketchup find that only extends 38 meters starting from the rear of the property featuring 20 meters of volumetric glued to the left edge , then , which of the two directions I have to respect? , Whence come these 20 meters ? . RPTA : That volumetry is the virtual expression district policy parameters . I believe that there is a gap in the rules because although the graphics SketchUp massing in project parameters , there are parameters that are not specified in the rules , thanks for the answers . RPTA : These are all parameters that are contesting and all are necessary . In the contest says are 4 lifts , 4 lifts but are social and service? or just social ? No need for service elevators ? RPTA : They are a minimum of 4 lifts and the others are in their submissions . The 4 must reach to the top floor ? Or I can split between floors ? Example : 3 to 20 and 1 floor to floor 33? RPTA : No, everyone must pass through all the floors. The stairs also , should the two get to the top floor ? RPTA : Yes , it is. Regarding the international architectural competition begs the question we : In units of 400 square meters , what do you mean by " desktop "? It is a professional office, a study area for children, personal office area or just a workspace associated with the bedrooms ? Could you give us an estimate of surface for that area ? as its size, much depends on the use that is to be awarded . RPTA : A personal study for the homeowner .

The number and size of departamientos is mandatory or can be changed by 10 % or so ? RPTA : Those are the areas defined but can you consider a tolerance of + - 10%.
