Abstract

The history of the municipality of Turbo, the intensity and the direction in which it has been developed, have largely determined its current situation. Turbo has had an important development based on its economic potential, since it is considered the articulating pole of regional dynamics and bridge of commercial and tourist exchange, aspects that are guilty of accelerated population growth, but it has long been a municipality affected by the violence and poverty, and unfortunately the efforts made for this population, have not been enough to this day. The lack of educational opportunities for children and young people enhances the rates of violence and poverty.

To address these problems, and understanding their importance in the post-conflict, education is considered as the engine that transforms lives and societies, returning to a community that has been greatly affected, has been part of oblivion and needs to heal the scars of the violence.

Based on architecture as a social and transformative exercise, and assigning it the ability to provide answers to real and current needs, change strategies and mechanisms that benefit the community are proposed.

The understanding of local codes and languages ​​allows linking new architectures and gives the place its own value, determining the importance of the development of community activities under the shadow, the congregation, recreation, sports, and education, through constructions with materials and methods of the place.

The main objective of this proposal is, through strategies for the growth of school coverage, to ensure timely and quality access to the different educational levels throughout the life of the inhabitants of the territory, achieving the reduction of the social gap and improving the quality of life of people.
