Espacios de esperanza: edificio de capacitación y producción cuidada en el municipio de Caucasia

Abstract

The Las Malvinas neighborhood is a social interest housing sector, located on the Zaragoza - Caucasia road in the municipality of Caucasia. The predominant population in the neighborhood is displaced by violence in the lower Cauca, mostly women head of family, also unemployed. Thinking about this vulnerable population creates a space for women where they can work, at the same time as having an educational - recreational space for their children. Taking into account that the chosen population are rural women, we think of a product that they know and that their treatment is simple. Therefore banana is proposed as a product, in addition, multiple products can be made with it. Complementary training spaces are created along with the production, focusing on the banana handicrafts and the food products that can be created with the banana. The work is constructed from a climatic reflection, proposing spaces of full and empty spaces where it allows the free flow of air, creating nuclei of training, space of creation of products with banana and nucleus for children. These cores are joined by a large surface with folds that allows light to enter in a controlled manner.
