Centro de Emprendimiento Pesquero: Bahía Solano, Chocó

Abstract

The municipality of Bahía Solano is globally recognized as a natural paradise thanks to its marine biodiversity and its diversity of jungle species. These characteristics have made it alternatives for tourists and researchers who visit it annually and arrive at the place with high expectations of knowing and enjoying all the richness that the place has.

Its direct relationship with the Pacific Ocean has led the municipality to develop a life focused on fishing, making it one of the main activities that generates income for the population.

Its direct relationship with the sea and its geographical location also gives rise to drug trafficking and mass distribution of narcotics, today becoming the main alternative of economic income for the general population, especially young people. As a consequence, ancestral activities and other means of economic income such as fishing, carpentry, construction and among others, have been totally abandoned by the community.

Understanding the problem and recognizing people’s ways of life, architecture appears as a means that helps transform and revalue ancestral activities, developing spaces that encourage the community to keep culture latent.

The main objective of the proposal is to generate teaching spaces related to artisanal fishing, cultural, commercial and interaction spaces.
