La calle interior – centro cultural flexible para la comunidad del corregimiento San José, La Ceja, Antioquia

Abstract

The rural district of San José, located in the municipality of La Ceja, faces a significant lack of cultural and educational spaces, leading to unequal opportunities, school dropout, and a gradual loss of community identity. The project “La Calle Interior” proposes a flexible cultural center inspired by the town’s main street, an axis where social life, commerce, and daily activities converge. Based on this concept, the building is conceived as an interior street, connecting the plaza, the school, and existing facilities through open and collective spaces. More than a building, the project seeks to recreate the communal essence of San José, promoting culture, technical education, and local entrepreneurship as key drivers of social cohesion and territorial identity.
