Terminal de transporte terrestre para el municipio de Aguachica, Cesar

Abstract

The project proposes the architectural design for the Terrestrial Transport Terminal of the municipality of Aguachica, Cesar, based on the technical, formal and aesthetic aspects of the region. For this, the theoretical reference and the methodology of Bruce Archer were considered, which allowed the collection and organization of the information necessary to accomplish the established objectives. The investigation begins with a geographic analysis of the municipality, in search of the strategic operation of the project at intermunicipal scale. The appropriate category for the equipment was identified with the help of Colombian technical standard 5454 and the analysis of frequencies, the types of vehicles and dispatches of the current Aguachica transport terminal. In addition, different types of transport terminals were analyzed to determine the urban, formal, functional and technical characteristics of the project. Finally, the bioclimatic strategies corresponding to the context were established. From the formal point of view, the proposed design proposes bioclimatic strategies such as natural airiness through expansions between roofs and green areas, inside and outside the building. It should be noted that the technical system for the design of the project was the modular architecture, which included light and mild structures that allow future modifications to the building. This technical system allows to comply with Decree 2762 of 2001, according to which this type of equipment must respond to the demand of passengers during the next 20 years. With all the above, the design assumes that the building could acquire an aesthetic and symbolic value in the imaginary of the region.
