Estudio Patológico Edificio Navarro en la Ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

The project does a pathological examination of the Navarro building in Bogotá, gathering historical data about the structure and conducting field inspections to assess its structural state. This method makes it possible to comprehend changes and effects that have occurred throughout time, in addition to the relevant legal requirements. An efficient evaluation of the building's diseases and vulnerability identification are made possible by the examination of the building's medical history. Situated in the San Victorino commercial district in the city's center, the Navarro building is of great historical and commercial significance. Restoring this historic site within the industry and increasing business activity in downtown Bogotá depend on its restoration. The diagnosis is supported by non-destructive and destructive tests, including carbonation, sclerometry, hygrometry, and thermal imaging. 4 The structure with a similar roof configuration, Casa Colorada, was the site of similar interventions that are the basis for this study. The steps that must be taken in order to intervene in the Navarro building are determined by taking into account these precedents and heritage ideas. In addition to determining the building's future use and getting ready for the next stage of restoration, the proposed intervention seeks to stop the building's degradation. By extending the building's lifespan, this strategy aims to preserve its historical significance and operational ability.
