Núcleo de Formación y encuentro Zamora

Abstract

The present project is carried out thinking how from architecture we can mitigate or correct some problems of social and family fabric that are evident in the Zamora neighborhood in Medellín and how the lack of a space in the neighborhood with educational and urban characteristics, with different activities, could help to improve the current problems The Zamora Training Center is proposed, with the intention of improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of the sector through two facilities one focused on formal education (technical and technological) located in the existing heritage house on the site and another in a new building focused on the implementation of informal education (arts and crafts center) Both facilities are accompanied and complemented by an open air theater that has a cultural focus and an area for the practice of physical activity, in addition to the rooms for the enjoyment of the entire community arranged throughout the lot, which complement the development of the activities of learning and encounter This proposal is made in order to rehabilitate a disused lot which can promote the recognition, appropriation, and individual and collective respect that is lacking in this neighborhood, thus being the root or the beginning of overcoming a sector of the city that is currently being hit by groups outside the law, inequality, and abandonment “Architecture in post-conflict territories”
