La Mixtura de Usos, una apuesta para el municipio de Rionegro.

Abstract

Rionegro is considered one of the most promising municipalities of Antioquia and is positioned as a development pole of eastern Antioquia. This is why the research focuses mainly on the Rionegro marketplace, since this marketplace is an important collection center and collector of local, municipal and intermunicipal urban dynamics. After an intensive analysis of the problems and potentialities of the sector, important factors for the development of the project were obtained, such as the lack of public space, mobility problems, lack of sanitation in the space and a need for temporary housing. After a dialogue with the community and a design process, a building was developed that brings together different activities and dynamics in a single volume. The public and private character of the new proposed uses and the integration with the current commercial and mercantile activity of the Rionegro gallery is categorized by levels. By means of a conceptualization and technical and bioclimatic development, a building is proposed that is compact on the outside, but its double facade provides dynamism in its first skin and also, its interior, crossed by a diagonal void, makes a strategic pedestrian connection with two important points of the municipality. This approach that potentiates the urban dynamics will not only improve the quality of life of the “gallery” but also inspires the development of a strategic model to mix uses in the market places obtaining an integral growth of the department and providing an added value to the context in which it is located.
