Vivienda Productiva, Municipio de Ráquira

Abstract

The municipality of Ráquira, Boyacá, is characterized by its tradition in the art of pottery. Most of the people who carry out this process are native artisan families, who have given the municipality its identity thanks to this tradition. Currently, the concentration of commerce in the urban area is notorious, where the beginning of a gentrification that generates a displacement of artisan families to the peripheries of the municipality is evident.

Most artisans personalize their home in the work area, in conjunction with artisan ovens, which can be dangerous due to the location they are given in the home, since living is mixed with the artisan workshop. A comprehensive project is proposed through productive housing, which seeks to house these craft processes, identifying the user's profile and the craft process it performs. Together, a craft market is proposed that allows the mix of land uses in the municipality and generates a craft stock for these homes, all articulated through a public space and meeting rooms.

Through the research methodology, physical-spatial analysis and field visits, it will be possible to identify the disarticulation of these houses with the main facilities of the municipality, and in this way, take advantage of its morphological gaps. This design focuses on the productive and comprehensive development of this specific community.
