Memoria Viva: Espacio Cultural para la Reconciliación y los Sentidos

Abstract

This book contains the research and project approach of a cultural facility for memory located in Caucasia, whose main intention is the reconstruction of the social fabric affected by the armed conflict through 50 long years, the recognition of that past memory but also the collective resurgence through art and culture that allows the awareness of its inhabitants and identification of their historical journey, promoting the conservation of the memory of the territory and projecting its future memory. This space houses activities for different types of users, such as a civic plaza accompanied by a large extension of public space that opens to the urban landscape allowing the confluence of different types of social dynamics, commerce that keeps the place alive and active for longer, a module dedicated to the memory of the sub-region of Bajo Cauca and the municipality itself, and another module for education and culture that catapults the community towards the construction of a conscious and free life.
