Mercado agrocultural de Yarumal Antioquia: El vacío arquitectónico como articulador de la dinámica agrícola y cultural

Abstract

This study addresses the disconnection between rural and urban realms in the municipality of Yarumal (Antioquia, Colombia), by proposing an agrocultural market that revitalizes its productive and cultural identity. The research has examined agricultural dynamics, commercial flows, and the role of the architectural void as a spatial mediator among landscape, community, and economy. Employing a mixed-method approach —territorial diagnosis, citizen surveys and architectural precedent analysis— the study has identified a lack of infrastructure for aggregation and articulation of local production. Findings have demonstrated that the void is not absence but a field of articulation enabling multiple times and uses; hence, the proposal presents a public facility functioning as a logistics hub, marketplace and cultural space simultaneously. The conclusion emphasizes that the void may become a tool for territorial cohesion, bridging rural and urban, productive and communal realms.
