Mediateca y centro cultural del bicentenario

Abstract

Today we live in a globalized world and we are in the presence of a paradigm shift. The new reality is supported by new and multiple information technologies. The contemporary world is increasingly understood and is closer to a network system where cities are projected from their tracks.The world is framed and ordered by virtual networks of all kinds, which are based on the exchange of information between individuals and between complex societies.

The great media development of the last decade, the expansion of the internet, the network systems, have undoubtedly transformed the library, giving rise to the concept of virtual library as a network system for the accumulation of records. The technological base in the library It has the ability to provide information, especially localized and focused community and local reality (Navarrete 2006). In relation to the above, the new conception of the library is postulated, displacing the old image of the emblematic and sedentary library to apply a ´´Mediateca and cultural center of the bicentennial´´

The concern is to conceive this project not only as an architectural object, but as a catalyst for renewal and consolidation for an urban reality that encompasses different social, economic, educational and cultural issues (Garrido and Vásquez 2011). Therefore, consequently, the project effort could not be left alone on the scale Obviously, it should explore the possibilities of consolidating the urban context, which is why it is proposed as the first project instance, the generation of a comprehensive proposal thinking as a whole where the connection of adjacent neighborhoods to it generate different activities that allow creating a tour not only friendly to the environment but also dynamic in its pedestrian and vehicular proposals.

During this monograph three scales of analysis are worked on: the relationship of the Media Library with the city, the meeting and contextualization of the student community with the project, and the need for adequate infrastructure for the new knowledge society and the new institutional requirements, based in a common concept: the urban integration of the city with the educational and social function.
