The project consists of a dog shelter of the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga, located in the municipality of Piedecuesta. To begin with, the minimalist architecture of the architect Jhon Pawson was taken as a theoretical reference, which is characterzed by handling pure, cleans volumes, raw materials or in their natural state. From the elements that characterize them, light, geometry, proportion and the relationship between them were taken. Next, the shelters were investigated, their difference with the shelters, as well as national and international typologies from which the modulation of the boxes was taken in addition to the relationships that each of the spaces must have with the others, the areas and spaces necessary for the operative clinical and canine part. Then, the analysis of the users was carried out, since they are not only the canines, but also the medical personnel, administrative o operational personnel and the service personnel. Finally, the context of the metropolitan area was demonstrated in order to find the best location for the hostel, with which it was concluded that it should be at an equidistant point between Piedecuesta, which is the area of expansion to the south, and Bucaramanga, where it is today, the zoonosis center, giving as status the lot that is 400 meters from the españolita in a south-north direction.
