Diseño de la terminal de pasajeros del aeropuerto internacional Palonegro Bucaramanga: Reinterpretando las cualidades arquitectónicas del edificio de 1974

Abstract

The approach of Modernism in Bucaramanga was constituted from the projection of buildings with common languages and characteristics of the movement, therefore, they had an implicit identity which evinced not only the technological context but the social context of that time. The development of the Project focused on the interpretative approach from the constant misplacement of the architectonic identity of the Palonegro International Airport, for its constant “modernization” processes. In the last few years this approach it’s been reducing to the point where architecture has torn exclusively technical, leaving aside the formal, space and social approaches and the concern for the site´s history and movement. Therefore, emerges the idea of addressing the passenger´s terminal architectonic design in the site where the actual building is located, reinterpreting and abstracting the modern formal architectonic characteristics of the 1975´s passenger´s terminal, so it’s possible to scheme a new building.
