Propuesta de diseño de un centro de formación físico mental para los deportistas de Combate del área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga

Abstract

The Mental-Physical Training Center’s proposal for the AMB’s combat athletes is developed as a unit, comprising both architectural and urban systems, structured under the principles of Eco-Tech architecture and folds. This system seeks to decentralize the athletic infrastructure of Bucaramanga, generating a new athletic focus in Piedecuesta which ultimately enhances the characteristics of the different regions and its sectors in terms of sports training facilities. Through the implementation of the ‘Eco Tech’ principle, the main axis of the project was developed; the natural conditions of the land’s arborization was identified in order to minimise impact on ecology. The main axis consists of a large green corridor for the public which is distributed among different spaces. These green spaces can be used for activities related to recreation, sports and relaxation. The structural design is comprised of a diagrid system shaping the perimeter of the design. The exposed structure maximises natural light through its large triangular-shaped steel frame resulting in the creation of large flexible rooms which can be used as galleries or function spaces. These spaces intertwine, allowing users to ocellate between the public and the private. The design of the roof reflects principles of folded techniques in architecture and embodies a formal and functional purpose. Whilst its multi-faceted design reflects aesthetic and symbolic folded techniques, it also facilitates ventilation and natural lighting. The consolidation of these fields and the comprehension of the dimensions, proportions, ordering and relationship between the spaces, allow to develop an integral formation of the Santander athlete.
