Caminos de agua y raíces de tierra. Equipamiento integral en territorios anfibios

Abstract

The municipality of Istmina, Chocó, is Known for its strong cultural identity and its close relationship with the San Juan River, characterizing it into a community whose culture revolves around aquatic activities including social gatherings, productivity, and envionmental interactions. In this context, this research aims to strengthen the value of amphibious territories through an integral improvement plan that responds to their environmental, cultural, and social conditions. To achieve this, a territory-based design methodology is developed, structured in phases including multiscalar analysis, diagnosis, conceptual formulation, and project development. As a result, the project proposes a neighborhood-scale integral improvement plan that includes the relocation of housing in risk-prone areas and the implementation of a cultural and community facility. This intervention is conceived as a territorial catalyst that articulates social, productive, and cultural dynamics, strengthening the relationship between community, water, and landscape.
