De una arquitectura moderna a una arquitectura contextual contemporánea

Abstract

This thesis aims to address the lack of reflection in the production of contemporary architectural design in Colombia, influenced by current trends. As well as the balance between current design and the principles of Colombian architecture, in the creation of contemporary spaces. The main objective is to revitalize traditional aesthetic techniques and values in order to achieve a more functional, adapted and validated architecture. The methodology includes an analysis of a period of modernity in the city of Bogotá, since it was the modernism of the 60s that presented a closer approach to the techniques and values of architecture and design in Colombia. As well as the examination of case studies that allow identifying the main strategies applied during modernity, this in order to obtain a method that contributes to the composition process from the relationship with the parts that make up contemporary design and Colombian architectural identity, as one more element of the project.
