Diseño de una biblioteca pública en el barrio Ciudadela Real de Minas, Bucaramanga

Abstract

The public library has gone through different modifications to its functions throughout the years but certainly, its main role in society has been to work as an information repository and as a research place for users; however, due to all the technological developments that started emerging since the end of the 20th century and its quick expansion in the 21st century, the public library faces a social context in which the easy access to a variety of information and the technological tools has established new social dynamics in which every user with internet access can get into a wide network of information.

All these changes and developments that the 21st century has brought with it have made the public library adapt to them, aiming to boost services to allow the community to come together and work as a space for information and culture exchange. Therefore, what this project tries to reach is to create spaces according to the design requirements that bring the 21st century with it, in which people from the neighborhood Ciudadela Real de Minas can come together and interact with each other while exchanging thoughts and culture as well as knowledge, and at the same time, it can respond to the immediate surroundings.
