Centro de Convenciones en Villavicencio. Un escenario de las artes y oficios para construir ciudad.

Abstract

This degree project deals with the design of a convention center for art in Villavicencio, Meta. This city is an intermediate city with a growing industry in the field of creation and design. The problem that arose is the absence of facilities that respond to the spatial needs for the formation and exhibition of different artistic expressions such as music, design and art. For this reason, a center was designed to house the different spaces necessary to direct and exhibit these modalities. To accomplish this, a repertoire of projects that served as background to understand a facility like this was delimited; secondly, this repertoire was analyzed in order to make use of the composition by parts methodology proposed by Anton Capitel, to design an urban facility that has as its main objective the exhibition of different artistic expressions; and finally, these principles were applied in the projection of the new building. Likewise, the site where this project was proposed is on Avenue 40, and is adjacent to the SENA institute, the Torres de San Juan housing complex and the KIA concessionaire, it is an area established as a development area according to the POT of Villavicencio, which demanded to conceive an urban profile model, which allows the construction of the city through the construction of the equipment. The methodology to design such equipment was based on the analysis of the site and the result of the analysis of case studies from the theory of composition by parts.
