Dispositivo para la Memoria Cultural

Abstract

The device for cultural memory seeks to establish a connection between cultural life and citizenship through an architectural project. Recognizing the human being as the creator and interpreter of different cultural practices. It is intended to highlight the identity of the community through its productions and presentations to the world; This approach is key to giving a leading role to users in cultural settings that currently do not exist in Paipa. The proposal will be developed in such a way that the community brings life and meaning to the building, generating a spatial organization that makes the program functional. The objective is to weave a “device” that acquires a cultural character, bringing together diverse expressions and that can be achieved through the distinctive characteristics of the project, including strategies such as free plan and cut, an open and unrestricted space, a façade conceived to through the staging of space, and dual-function elements such as the roof and public platforms, along with a supporting structure. In summary, the project will focus on versatility and flexibility, developed experimentally and hybridized with architecture, where a building is created that not only fulfills practical functions, but also serves as a cultural catalyst, enriching the identity and the social fabric of Paipa.
