Diseño Arquitectónico de una Terminal de Transporte Terrestre Categoría IV para la Zona Sur del Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga Localizada en el Municipio de Piedecuesta, Santander.

Abstract

This work shows the analysis and development of a design proposal for a category IV transport terminal located in the municipality of Piedecuesta under the parameters of modern architecture. The project responds to the problem of informal paradores and ticket sales that occur in the southern zone of the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga, which by not having an optimal space generates various problems in the sector due to the presence of one of the main national roads of the country. Transport terminals are highly important equipment for the development of a city since they allow communication in most areas of the country, which is pertinent and necessary the presence of an architectural object that responds to the proposed problem. For the design, modern architecture was taken as a theoretical approach, through the study of a representative typological reference of modern architecture, the main characteristics such as the handling of materiality and the predominance of functionality were identified. The project is categorized according to the NTC 5454 standard, taking into account the number of existing companies, number of routes, and number of users in the southern area who daily use this type of transport to the capital and southern areas of the country. The appropriate lot for the implementation proposal was identified and, together with its respective analysis, a single-level volumetric proposal is presented that complies with the functional, formal, technical and urban environmental components.
