Urbanismo social dentro del marco del posconflicto: Toribío, Cauca - Colombia.

Abstract

This project started from the commitment that we as architects have with our territory, from the beginning to the end, it is intended to combine architecture as a catalyst tool for the cultural qualities from Toribio, an architecture that is born in the community and that seeks to solve issues related to the war. Firstly, a scheme of urban intervention is proposed, which seeks to consolidate a road and public space system that articulates the nodes and axes (roads, social and cultural) of the urban center. Along with this, the first architectural proposal consists in the creation of a social housing model that revolves around indigenous customs taking in account concepts, symbology, geometry, vernacular construction systems and applying sustainability techniques from contemporary architecture, this shaped a module capable of transforming itself according to the different needs that the displaced population may have, at the same time, this housing module responds to a traditional settlement model that runs around agricultural crops (food sources and economic income). The second architectural proposal arises from the importance of cultural activities and traditions such as Rituals, dances, music, handicrafts, symbology and sociology, a new social space is created: "Casa Cultural: Álvaro Ulcué", a proposal that was raised considering the indigenous symbolism and transforming it into architecture, using current construction techniques and using materials from the region such as wood, thus generating a place totally open to the population, where people will be able to do all type of cultural activities and that becomes a milestone for the community functioning also like a viewpoint that frames the cultural and natural landscape of this beautiful place.
