Diseño de vivienda universitaria tipo covivienda con enfoque biofílico en la comuna uno de Floridablanca, Santander

Abstract

The purpose of this degree project is to propose an architectural solution to the housing problems faced by the foreign university population in the municipality of Floridablanca, Santander. The constant growth of the university community contrasts with the lack of specific housing models for this population, which has led students to reside in inadequate spaces that do not guarantee optimal living conditions, affecting their well-being and academic performance. To this end, a four-phase project methodology was used: analyze, define, compare, and develop. Research was carried out to understand the urban, social, and regulatory context, as well as to characterize the user and establish the basis for an architectural program that responds to a design with an emphasis on cohousing and biophilic design. The proposal is to design co-living university residences with a biophilic approach, aimed at providing healthy, sustainable, and socially inclusive spaces that help promote physical and mental well-being by incorporating nature into common and private areas. Overall, the project seeks to contribute to improving the quality of life of students and the sustainable urban development of Floridablanca.
