Propuesta de diseño de un centro cultural para el municipio de El Socorro, Santander

Abstract

Cultural centers were created aiming to provide public spaces where the participation of the user and their interaction with the community is encouraged and, thus, reinforcing the traditions and the art and culture of the place where they are developed, promoting any artistic and cultural activity of formation and divulgation. El Socorro, on the other hand, is one of the oldest and most relevant towns for national history, for being the place where important events for Colombia's independence took place. Recognizing its importance and its marked and broad cultural value, a Design of a Cultural Center is proposed, where it is intended to equip El Socorro with the necessary infrastructure to exalt, teach and promote the historical, patrimonial and cultural values that characterize the municipality. For this reason, programs focused on musical, dance and audiovisual teaching are developed. At the same time, an historical documentation preservation focused sector is proposed, and towards the show and performance, an auditorium with capacity 360 people is projected, which will be the place where all artistic expressions can be presented. All these programs are linked through social and urban areas that allow the permeability of the project.
