Diseño de un edificio de vivienda, para estudiantes en el municipio de Floridablanca, Santander

Abstract

In the context of accelerated urban growth and the growing demand for student housing, the need arises to develop innovative architectural projects adapted to new social dynamics. This work focuses on the design of a housing building for students in the municipality of Floridablanca, Santander. Currently, there are no housing designed specifically for students on the market, which poses challenges in terms of providing adequate spaces that combine functionality, comfort and conviviality. The design of study spaces for students is crucial in the architectural field. These spaces should be designed in a way that promotes concentration, focus, and academic performance. Factors such as adequate lighting, favorable acoustics, furniture ergonomics, and technology integration are essential elements in creating a conducive study environment. Architecture for student housing must take into account the specific needs of this demographic. It is essential to offer spaces that promote privacy when necessary, as well as social interaction and coexistence in common areas. The flexibility of spaces, adequate storage and security are aspects that must be addressed to ensure the well-being and comfort of students during their stay in these homes. Ecological urbanism is another important aspect to consider in architectural design. It is essential to integrate outdoor spaces that encourage connection with nature, such as gardens, patios and green terraces. These spaces offer outdoor comfort areas, allowing students to relax, study or socialize in a natural and healthy environment. In the case of the location of the selected lot near a road with high vehicular traffic, there is a need to apply care and natural filters to mitigate the negative impacts of noise, pollution and stress caused by traffic. Architecture can employ elements such as green walls, acoustic barriers,insulating glass and appropriate ventilation systems to create calm and healthy interior spaces, thus protecting the well-being and quality of life of residents.
