Centro de Arte y Cultura enfocado en danza para la Comuna 13 de Bucaramanga, Santander.

Abstract

Based on the predicaments encountered regarding cultural centers in Bucaramanga and the absence of spaces for leisure and culture, among others, we found the necessity to carry out the following project, which seeks to design a cultural and arts center focused on dance. The proposed center is to be located in the thirteenth commune of Bucaramanga, with the purpose of creating a project representative of the region’s architecture that provides spaces for cultural exchange, leisure and social interaction. This is carried out through the creation of both interior and exterior spaces that are flexible, open or transparent, with the use of rooms, agoras and plazas. Equally, we seek to foster a connection with the sector’s urban surroundings and public spaces keeping in mind its environmental and social components. the methodology used consisted of an initial analysis of the population to recognize it's needs. Typological references were studied to determine design criteria and a review of the sector's immediate surroundings, with which were created implantations and public spaces strategies for the building’s integration within its urroundings.
