GEOP AGROTERRA

Abstract

The department of Quindío is one of the most fertile places in the country. Crops such as coffee, banana, citrus, banana, pineapple, avocado, papaya, tomato and cassava, among many others, are an integral part of its production.

Therefore, taking into account the good soil conditions in Armenia, an architectural project consisting of two phases is proposed.

The first is the proposal of a geopark that seeks to treat the edge of the urban area and the city in general, being an open route for the entire community of Armenia and its surroundings, with the opportunity to enhance tourism, economy and essence of the city, including commercial areas, galleries, a viewpoint and information points about the history of Armenia and Quindío as a transition point from urban to rural areas, being the urban part of the project proposal.

The second phase as a complement and architectural proposal is an educational center called Agroterra, aimed at young people between 15 to 25 years old, ages in which they are able to make decisions regarding their education, which consists of spaces for education about agriculture, this being a place to practice and carry out agriculture as an important technical issue while maintaining the Colombian culture.

The GEOP AGROTERRA project provides spaces that allow agricultural education for young people in the city, as well as spaces for tourists and the community in general, with the central theme of agriculture, which connects the two phases mentioned above.
