Diseño de Conjunto Residencial Abierto en el barrio Norte Bajo del municipio de Bucaramanga

Abstract

This graduation project emerges as a comprehensive response to a set of urban and architectural challenges converging in the Norte Bajo neighborhood of Bucaramanga. These challenges, including the lack of sustainable urban planning, unplanned segregation, the need for adaptable and flexible housing, unregulated urban growth, the urgent need for sustainable urban practices, and changes in work dynamics driven by telecommuting, not only impact the daily lives of residents but also pose broader challenges in urban and social development. This project is justified due to the interconnection of these issues and their cascading impact on the daily lives and configuration of the neighborhood and the city as a whole. Beyond the physical aspects, these issues affect social cohesion, equity, and economic efficiency. The central aim is to develop a model residential complex that acts as a positive agent of change. This involves rethinking urban planning to ensure a fair distribution of resources and services, overcoming unplanned segregation, adapting housing to the changing needs of society, implementing sustainable practices, and creating environments that support remote work. This project is relevant not only for the Norte Bajo neighborhood but also as a model that can be applied in other urban areas. It seeks to set precedents for broader approaches to urban development, contributing to the development of more equitable, sustainable, and resilient cities in the 21st century. Ultimately, it aspires to catalyze a positive transformation in the way cities are planned, designed, and developed.
