Diseño de vivienda multifamiliar versátil en el barrio Sotomayor para Bucaramanga, Santander

Abstract

The objective of this project is to design a versatile multi-family home in the Sotomayor neighborhood for Bucaramanga, Santander, which proposes a housing model in accordance with new ways of life. In this sense, an approach is made to the doctoral thesis of the architect Pablo Fernandez Lorenzo in order to apply the principles of versatility identified in the theoretical framework. To do this, there architectural references that address the issue of versatility within the home are analyzed and evaluated. This analysis reveals principles of spatial organization, where fixed elements such as wetlands and other spaces are evident, they can be joined, separated or changed their use, it is also shown how to make a correct implementation of the house that allows the use of natural lighting and ventilation. Subsequently, a preliminary analysis is made of five possible properties in the city of Bucaramanga for the implementations of the project, based on urban criteria. With this, the project is in the Sotomayor neighborhood. After making the analysis of the theoretical referent, of the typological and urban referents, a characterization of the user is carried out and what could be the possible family conformations. Finally, three types of housing are designed with the concept of interior versatility, which allows different configurations of spaces or changes in their use, depending on family groups or user needs.
