Abstract

Santander is the department with the highest cocoa production in Colombia, according to fedecacao figures, in 2019 it represented 42% of tons produced in the country (Fedecacao, 2020). Given the increase in cocoa production in the region, it is necessary to strengthen the existing infrastructure that allows the transformation of raw materials originating in the department. Within this dynamic, this architectural proposal for a processing plant for the transformation of cocoa is inscribed with functional spaces that achieve the optimal distribution of all industrial activities, which allows the production process to be carried out in a safe and satisfactory manner for the staff, as well as for the surroundings of the industrial plant, carrying out the elaboration of products derived from cocoa. In addition, the necessary industrial architecture for the development of a cocoa processing plant is integrated, with the exhibition of the process to the public, with the conviction that both activities can be developed without affecting the quality, hygiene and safety standards of one and the other. other actors, and thus contribute to facilitating a new space that can contribute to consolidating a culture of cocoa consumption, as well as the tourism sector in Santander.
