TÄÄNËË: Mercado cultural indígena

Abstract

In this project, the importance of indigenous markets in the communities located in the Km 6 area of the Leticia-Tarapacá road is addressed. These markets are fundamental for maintaining the food security of the indigenous families in the region. In addition to being centers of economic exchange, indigenous markets play a crucial role in the transmission of ancestral knowledge and cultural practices that strengthen the social fabric of the community. Through this document, an architectural alternative is developed that proposes a solution to the problems of governmental neglect and lack of decent working conditions faced by indigenous communities in the Colombian Amazon. This project aims not only to improve the physical conditions of the current markets but also to create a space that respects and enhances the cultural and economic practices of the peoples. This project presents an opportunity for the inhabitants to broaden their horizons by providing access to new sources of economic generation and social and cultural growth. It is expected that the implementation of this architectural proposal will contribute to improving the quality of life of indigenous communities by providing an adequate space for the commercialization of their products, social interaction, and cultural exchange.
