Diseño arquitectónico de una Casa de la Cultura para el municipio de Ábrego, Norte de Santander

Abstract

The architectural design of a Cultural House is proposed for the municipality of Abrego, Norte de Santander. Currently, the existing Cultural House presents several deficiencies, mainly in the deteriorating structure, which can be seen in the roof and some walls, and the absence of functional spaces for the activities that take place there, especially for dance, music, and visual arts programs, which require particular conditions for their proper execution, such as sound insulation, good lighting, among others. The cause of these shortcomings is that it was not designed as a Cultural House but as a dwelling, which was forced to meet needs for which it is not equipped. Therefore, it is vital to carry out a design project in order to generate a new Cultural House that has suitable spaces to host cultural activities such as dance, music, and painting, and to allow this facility to become a space for social integration, where the entire community can have easy access for training and practicing different cultural expressions. Similarly, it is sought that the new building has its own character that reflects and symbolizes directly the historical and cultural context of the region, using concepts that are characteristic and representative.
