Abstract
Esta investigación analiza las infraestructuras verdes como respuesta arquitectónica al cambio climático en contextos urbanos, tomando como caso de estudio la estación del Tren Urbano San Francisco en San Juan, Puerto Rico. El proyecto surge ante problemáticas ambientales y sociales como el efecto de isla de calor, la escasez de áreas verdes, la gestión ineficiente de aguas pluviales y la falta de espacios públicos confortables. A partir de la identificación de las necesidades de la comunidad y del entorno urbano, se propone la reutilización de un edificio abandonado como infraestructura verde capaz de integrar estrategias bioclimáticas, vegetación nativa y sistemas de manejo sostenible del agua. La investigación demuestra cómo la arquitectura puede trascender su función tradicional para convertirse en un sistema activo que mejore el microclima, promueva la resiliencia urbana y fortalezca la relación entre la comunidad y su entorno. Esta propuesta aporta a la disciplina arquitectónica un enfoque sostenible que vincula diseño, ecología y bienestar social.

The project arises from environmental and social problems such as the urban heat island effect, the scarcity of green areas, inefficient stormwater management, and the lack of comfortable public spaces. Based on the identification of the community's and the urban environment's needs, the reuse of an abandoned building as green infrastructure capable of integrating bioclimatic strategies, native vegetation, and sustainable water management systems is proposed. The research demonstrates how architecture can transcend its traditional function to become an active system that improves the microclimate, promotes urban resilience, and strengthens the relationship between the community and its environment. This proposal contributes a sustainable approach to the architectural discipline, linking design, ecology, and social well-being.
