Estudio patológico de la Biblioteca Comunitaria San Pedro Claver – Santiago de Cali – Valle del Cauca

Abstract

This report, as an integrated professional work, addresses the pathological study of the San pedro Claver Community Library located in the city of Santiago de Cali – Valle del Cauca. This cultural equipment has played an important role in the exchange of educational, recreational and artistic expressions, mostly adapted for children and young people in vulnerable conditions. However, despite its importance to the Caleña community, different factors have affected the deterioration of its infrastructure, so it is planned to carry out an inquiry, which manages to identify the origin and cause of these effects. Thus, it is proposed to carry out three stages for the pathological study recognized as: medical history, diagnosis and intervention and maintenance. This working methodology is used to gather the necessary inputs, which allow the development of the stages mentioned above, where the collection of historical and technical archives of existing information is carried out, visual inspection supported with photographic registration, planimetric surveying, preparation of data sheets for the registration and classification of injuries, laboratory test plan, and finally, two intervention and maintenance proposals. The final result of the pathological study will serve as the basis for extending the life of the equipment, through the creation of strategies, to help improve the infrastructure and the current structural and functional conditions.
