Diseño de una escuela rural, ubicada en el corregimiento del Líbano, Cesar

Abstract

This degree project contemplates the creation of a rural school in the town of Lebanon, municipality of San Alberto, Cesar, that responds to the needs of educational infrastructure to serve approximately 120 children in basic and agricultural technical education. The proposed architectural design must be translated into a built body that manifests the local cultural identity combined with compliance with necessary regulations. The research methodology integrated a qualitative and quantitative approach with the application of surveys and semi-structured interviews with local residents about the needs and expectations of the future institution to determine the architectural program. The analysis allowed us to determine that the program includes multipurpose classrooms, collaborative and inclusive spaces, sports areas and sustainable classrooms. The findings of the analysis show that the architectural proposal not only resolves the spatial needs of local students and teachers, but also promotes a sense of belonging and community participation and is identified as related to sustainable practices and respect for the environment. In summary, the proposed school represents an innovative model by empowering the community with education and its association with agriculture, guaranteeing a sustainable future for future generations in the township of Lebanon with an educational environment in accordance with the realities of a rural location.
