Diseño de la nueva plaza de mercado del barrio Girardot en Bucaramanga, Santander

Abstract

The objective of this project is to design a market square for the Girardot neighborhood in Bucaramanga, Santander, which proposes appropriate spaces for the commercialization of products. In this sense, a study of the market squares located in different parts of the city is carried out, identifying a deficiency in their location, particularly in neighborhoods that are undergoing an urban renewal process. For its development, three architectural references are analyzed in the international, Latin American and national context with the objective of understanding the urban, formal, functional and technical characteristics appropriate for the market square. This project proposes, based on the analysis of the context, the typological characterization of a market square and the principles of modular architecture to respond to constructive systems in the structure, formal in the roof and functional in the perishable and non-perishable sales modules through volumetric unions and transformable and modifiable reticular arrangements. In addition to common spaces with activities and services that allow improving the commercial dynamics, guaranteeing the trade of products, organizing the type of trade and facilitating access to said services.
