Propuesta de rediseño del Parque de las Cigarras en la ciudad de Bucaramanga

Abstract

The proposal of the Redesign of the Cigarras Park in the city of Bucaramanga is born from the need for free areas to cover the current population of the sector. The project arises through the identification of theoretical references of the English park that, in its purest expression, rejects all kinds of geometry and regularity, references in curvilinear, natural and free forms, and landscaping (General Principles of Art according to Burle Marx) that is based on color, shape, scale, texture and sensations through vegetation. It is approached under the methodological framework of Salvador Rueda called ‘Ecological Urbanism’ which is defined as the ‘urbanism that projects not one but three planes with the same detail and at the same scale as current urban planners project the surface urban plan’. From this, a comparative and quantitative analysis of the current conditions of the public space is carried out through this methodological framework, in order to propose and characterize the quantification of green areas according to population occupation, posing different standards that serve as articulator axes for the connection of neighborhood-scale parks, proposing the renewal of urban space design of the Cigarras park as the stage I of this integrating network. It seeks to generate integration spaces, environmental zones that respond to native flora and fauna, order of the commercial use, cultural phenomena, leisure areas, sensory and contemplation routes that are under an order and principles that frame the design theories to be raised, this is reflected in four components such as: Urban component in relation to the environment, bioclimatic strategies through arborization stories such as trees against radiation seeking to favor areas with greater solar incidence, decontaminant trees implanted towards the road profiles of the Bucaros Avenue and 58th Street to isolate noise and filter the quality of air, cooling trees for the protection of solar radiation and environmental temperature equilibrium, ornamental trees as a principle of landscaping, visual aesthetics in engravers and pedestrian circulations, and fruit trees to cause pleasant sensations and odors in users; likewise, natural elements, artificial elements and proposed urban indicators. Formal component in the composition of organic and curved design, axes, projections and biomimicry of the Cicada as a focus for the design of the roof and the sculpture of the main square reflecting a landmark and earth movements in the underground level whose concept is contemplation and formally It represents the metamorphic process of the Nymph. Functional component in relation to uses, circulations and main recordings that lead to the hierarchical and secondary terms that connect the complementary activities of the park and access points as reception and distribution to the spaces of use. Technical component in the implementation of urban devices, variation in floor textures, colors, structural elements and construction details. The handling of light, shade and ventilation that is modified inside the underground level through the specific perforations in the roof and pergola.
