Propuesta de diseño de un prototipo de vivienda con industria artesanal de bajo impacto, enfocada al desarrollo productivo de la fibra de fique en el municipio de Mogotes, Santander

Abstract

Analyzing the importance of fique cultivation in the Santander region and specifically in the municipality of Mogotes, being the third department with more production in Colombia, after Nariño and Cauca. The production of handicrafts with fique fiber is an important part of the economy in the municipality, since there are several families that are sustained by this product, from the cultivation to the artisan hands that make possible the elaboration of thread bags, rugs, cotizas or backpacks. It is for this reason that we inquired about the state of the houses in the municipality, which house this trade within them and the problems of spaces and function in which people currently live were evidenced, whereby giving priority to the development of economic activities, the quality of life and the adequate use of the spaces of the house for rest and leisure are left aside. Therefore, the design of a productive housing prototype focused on the fique fiber handicraft industry in the municipality of Mogotes, Santander, is presented.
