Vivienda Rural Sostenible y Productiva

Abstract

This sustainable and productive rural housing project was born in response to the social, environmental, and economic challenges of the municipality of Frontino, located in western Antioquia.

The proposal focuses on designing a rural housing model that not only addresses the housing shortage but also integrates principles of sustainability, bioclimatic management, and agricultural productivity, with the goal of improving families' quality of life and consolidating a territorial fabric.

The project takes into account the social realities of the municipality of Frontino when talking about housing: it is a territory marked by armed conflict, forced displacements and high-risk areas that have shaped the way people live and relate to their environment. There is also an urgent need to provide functional and productive spaces that improve the quality of life of families and strengthen the local economy. Furthermore, this model seeks to revive rural tourism by integrating a circular economy system, where homes are not just places to live, but also places to produce, share, and build community.

To achieve this, it is essential to integrate techniques and materials from the territory, thus promoting an architecture that is coherent with the context and reinforces the social fabric in rural areas.
