Plaza de mercado para la ciudad de Barrancabermeja

The following contains the methodological and technical research corresponding to an architectural project that proposes a new design for the Torcoroma Marketplace, located in the city of Barrancabermeja, Santander. The Marketplace is conceived as a space designed to adapt new architectural solutions by reconnecting the Plaza with its surroundings, amalgamating the use of commercial, agricultural, and artisanal activities; hosting meetings, generating exchanges and new relationships, while strengthening the sociocultural development of the sector where it is implemented. The architectonic and theoretical referent applies architect Dicken Castro's design theory, which states, "The form follows the function", giving rise to an interior-exterior relationship that in turn favors the comfort of the user within the project, transcending the function to show products only; taking into account the climatic condition of Barrancabermeja, proposing a structure that with its form and materials used, will contribute a solution to high temperatures, furthermore improving the conditions in which food is found and at the same time preserving the
