Propuesta de diseño arquitectónico del Centro Cultural de Compositores de música vallenata ‘Luna Sanjuanera: una canción’, en el municipio de San Juan del Cesar, La Guajira, Colombia

Abstract

The Vallenato Music Composers Cultural Center (CCCMV) is the architectural materialization of the interpretation of the cultural context of San Juan del Cesar. This municipality, located in the south of La Guajira, in Colombia, is "the land that has seen the birth of more than a hundred years of illustrious composers of Vallenato music" (Calderón, R. 2023), including Diomedes Díaz, Roberto Calderón, Hernando Marín, among many others who "have supported the vallenato genre" Daza, (personal communication, 2020). Said architectural equipment has been proposed because currently, the places that the municipality has allocated for the development of cultural activities -related to its musical heritage- do not meet the spatial, technical, urban-environmental, social, or symbolic requirements of San Juan society, despite the cultural richness that privileges the municipality. Therefore, in addition to the fact that these cultural places are few, they are also technically inadequate and are out of context of the municipal cultural environment. The CCCMV, arises then, as a response to the existing spatial failure in the municipality, without uprooting from its cultural richness, nor from the traditional essence of how a composition is born. The development of the architectural project takes on vigor and relevance predominantly around Vallenato music. This component is fully complemented by crafts and gastronomy: two daily activities that promote vallenato, and together with the San Juan moon -as a symbolic element-, nature and women, become pillars of the compositional muse. This is part of the complexity of the architectural project, symbolically, giving it identity. Method: (interviews, experimentation, personal experiences exposed throughout the current document).
