Diseño de una Residencia Universitaria para la Comuna 3 de Bucaramanga, Santander

Abstract

This degree Project entitled "University Residence for Commune 3 in Bucaramanga, Santander," addresses the physical-spatial challenge of designing a space intended for university students seeking temporary housing during their stay in the city. It also responds to the specific needs of students by providing study areas, recreational and integration spaces, as well as reducing commuting time. Consequently, the concept of a university residence is defined, and its architectural basis is established. For the development of the proposal, an analysis of typological references was conducted to understand the formal, functional, and urban design principles applicable to the project. Subsequently, the concepts proposed by John Habraken on flexibility in buildings were explored to implement them in the project according to the urban context. Finally, the context of the area to be intervened was analyzed to identify the needs of the target users and thus provide an architectural solution in line with the context.
