Descripción
Se habla mucho de la urgencia de salvaguardar el patrimonio inmueble de la ciudad de Bogotá, a la vez que se radican planes parciales de renovación para ser avalados por la Secretaría Distrital de Planeación, que en ocasiones entran en contradicción con esta urgencia que busca la respectiva declaratoria como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC) de dichas edificaciones. Es el caso del Plan Parcial de Renovación Urbana CAR- Universidad Libre, que aparece como con Viabilidad en la página de la Secretaría Distrital de Planeación el cual contiene, dentro de su polígono de intervención, dos edificios imprescindibles para la memoria arquitectónica de Bogotá. Uno de ellos el de Pan American (Edificio Teusacá), el cual afortunadamente ya tiene declaratoria BIC. El otro, el Edificio de la Esso Colombiana, aún no cuenta con esta. Este texto refiere y particulariza este edificio a partir de la revisión de su planimetría y características arquitectónicas en ejercicio investigativo realizado por la autora acerca de Ignacio Martínez Cárdenas y su ejercicio profesional. La investigación parte del siguiente interrogante: ¿Cuál es el argumento para evadir la responsabilidad que tenemos de proteger como conocedores de lo que significa, implica y representa este edificio, en esa localización y con esa clara declaración formal, estética, conceptual y material, manifiesta aún hoy en esta particular edificación?
There is much talk about the urgency of safeguarding the city's heritage, while Planes de Renovación Parcial are submited for approval by the Secretaría de Planeación Distrital, which sometimes contradict this urgency which undobutedly should lead to the respective issuing of the declaration as Bien de Interés Cultural BIC. This is the case of the Plan Parcial de Renovación Urbana CAR-Universidad Libre, which appears marked with Viability on the website of the Secretaría distrital de Planeación which contains, within its intervention area, two essential buildings for the architectural memory of Bogotá. One of them, Pan American (Teusacá Building), fortunately already has a BIC declaration. The other, the Esso Colombiana Building, hasn't obtained it yet. This text refers to and particularizes this building from a review in context, originated in an investigative exercise carried out by the author about Ignacio Martínez Cárdenas and his professional practice. The research is developed from the following question: ¿What is the argument to evade that responsibility that we have to protect as connoisseurs of what this building means, implies and represents, in that location and with that evident formal, aesthetic, conceptual and material statement, still manifests today in this particular building?
