Diseño de un centro de formación técnico-industrial, en el barrio San Rafael de Bucaramanga

Abstract

A technical-industrial training center is designed as an architectural proposal in response to the complex problem of lacking adequate infrastructure to provide the community with new opportunities to acquire skills to address issues such as school dropout rates and enable the attainment of more dignified employment. Through context analysis, key characteristics of the location, meeting points, common community usage of the environment were highlighted, alongside defining the project's site, dimensions, applicable regulations, and physical determinants. Community analysis involved defining demographic characteristics leading to the classification of needs this project could address, not only architecturally but also urbanistically, categorizing the community into groups of interest. In typology studies, approaching the ideal project was the initial focus, drawing architectural references appropriate for the academic spaces to be provided within this training center, emphasizing features to culminate in an architectural program closely aligned with the final outcome. Lastly, this final result was marked by architectural successes such as orientation with respect to winds, large windows for natural lighting, spacious work areas without obstacles, a central core for quick connectivity on each intermediate level, and an exterior facade covering not only aesthetically pleasing but also serving as a protective outer framework
