Diseño de un edificio de uso mixto sustentable para el barrio San Francisco en la ciudad de Bucaramanga

Abstract

The San Francisco neighborhood in Bucaramanga has stood out over the years for its high commercial activity, in what corresponds to the footwear and textile industry; thanks to its location, which gives it a characteristic of centrality where multiple activities converge, problems have been generated in terms of lack of spaces for the optimal development of these commercial activities. At the same time, the area also has a growing population and building density where the lack of architectural and urban planning is evident, it is for these reasons that the need arises for functional spaces in the sector that host the multiple activities without generating disorder or obstruction of the road, designed for the comfort and well-being of the user. Therefore, an architectural design of a mixed-use building is proposed, which aims to unify the commercial use of the sector through a vertical architecture, generating as a result a maximum liberation of the land for the development of optimal and accessible public spaces for the community. As a first step, a detailed analysis of the sector will be generated, in order to obtain the strengths and weaknesses of the site; and thus design bioclimatic and sustainable strategies that provide the building with a development of friendly spaces for both the sector and the environment, generating as a result new landscape units in the sector.
