Diseño de una agrupación de viviendas flexibles para el municipio de Piedecuesta

Abstract

The design of an open group of multi-family dwellings located in the municipality of Piedecuesta, Santander, Colombia, proposes an architectural proposal to resolve the flexibility within the dwelling so that the user interacts directly with the building, improves the perception of the space he has because it adapts to his immediate needs and achieves a better use of space. The study is developed in four phases: Conceptualization, characterization, analysis and formulation. For this purpose, the concept of Transformation dictated by Robert Kronenburg, who states that this type of flexibility is based on movable dividing panels to open and close the space at the user's will, was studied in depth. Similarly, the layout of the towers is based on Samper's urban enclosure that uses the space between buildings as social zones for the residents of the complex. The prioritization of pedestrians over vehicles is taken from the Ciudadela Colsubsidio, making the accesses independent and allowing urban continuity. In the Characterization of the sector, a pattern was identified where the open groupings do not have green areas or social areas; these spaces are clearly defined in closed complexes. For this proposal we opted for an open grouping with green areas and recreational spaces that allow an alternative urban continuity of social integration and construction of the city.
