Diseño de un centro vida para el municipio de Piedecuesta

Abstract

The Life Center for the elderly in the Municipality of Piedecuesta is a day-care facility, which arises as a response to the problem of developing an adequate space for older people to spend their day, based on the methodology proposed by the movement Modern Stijl architecture, under the theory of Daniel Libeskind, gives a clean and transparent character that is related to the built environment. To approach the project, the urban environment is first analyzed, based on the flows and uses, and how the complementary services attached to the life center work. In the second instance, the user is characterized, people in an age range between 60 to 85 years, without physical limitations. Additionally, the architecture of Stjil is deepened for the adaptation, operation and use of materials, and thus understand the similarity of what is built. Consequently, the guidelines of Resolution 110 of 1995 are taken into account, and finally the typologies are analyzed from urban, functional, formal and technical components, in order to understand the most representative elements and thus apply them to the design. In conclusion, a modulation in the heights generated through patios is used to obtain good lighting and ventilation, in turn a direct linear circulation to the established spaces is used, thus causing a hierarchy in the volumes.
