Centro de tratamiento oncológico enfocado en quimioterapia y radioterapia para el municipio de Bucaramanga

Abstract

The objective of this project is to design an oncology center focused on chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the municipality of Bucaramanga, Santander, which seeks to integrate form and design without neglecting functionality, changing it with technology. In this sense, an approach to oncology centers is made to recognize their architectural implications, analyzing them spatially, functionally and operationally, in order to apply the characteristics identified in contemporary architecture. For this purpose, three architectural references were analyzed and evaluated, which allowed recognizing the special processes and requirements of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the complementary spaces required by an oncology center. After the architectural, urban and social analysis of the user population, four criteria were proposed to determine the appropriate location, applied to three properties in the municipality, which were evaluated quantitatively and the ideal one was selected. Therefore, the project is located in the public improvements neighborhood of the municipality of Bucaramanga, Santander.
