Abstract

The municipality of Pamplona, located in Norte de Santander in Colombia, has been presenting important changes in the last decades, making it a development center for the eastern region of the country since it is one of the main cities of the Colombian northeast. Pamplona has both educational and cultural potential which makes people to be attracted to settle in its territory or in its neighboring municipalities causing most of the transient population end up eradicating in the urban area of this municipality. Because of this, its demographic growth has been requiring the State a high demand on public services that contribute to the development that is lived in the municipality and that contribute to satisfy the population needs. Thus making it necessary to propose new infrastructures in order to allow a higher quality of life and a consistent development among this municipality and its population. Consequently, nowadays the current hospital of Pamplona does not have the capacity to meet all the demand for people who require a health service owing to its small distribution, that does not count on the necessary medical services and that does not possess an efficient infrastructure which goes along with the legal provisions in force that all hospital buildings or healthcare institutions must have. That is why, the new hospital for the municipality of Pamplona is proposed as a project. A building able to address the whole issue that is currently being experienced and in order to provide a solution from the architecture to the problems of coverage, quality and technological progress required for these buildings at nationally and municipally levels.
