Arena de espectáculos masivos en el parque Simón Bolivar, Bogotá D.C.

Abstract

The current document exposes the genesis and development of a comprehensive architectural project in Bogotá D.C., whose aim falls on becoming established as a fitted out space for performances of music, theater and dance in a multitudinous scale. The strategic location's intervention in the current events' square of the Parque Central Simón Bolívar, foresees to increase the city's level of competitiveness by generating bigger economic flows in the field of spectacles. Here, the universal accessibility is given by the opening's level of the architectural work in regards to the native and foreign population. It is going to set itself up as a reference icon in the national and international context, moreover, it will summarize the social spirit of the performing arts essentially. The building is adapted in its formal plasticity to a flexible structure around modular spaces. A circuit of vehicular traffic for technical and service staff is distributed on the deepest floor, from where the fork lift-stages are propelled to the middle floor, the place where the ground- floor boxes and the stalls are found. As much the main stage, located in the concert hall, as the audience area can be adapted, which means, they can be taken up in its entirety or partially depending on the quantity of attendees. As a space of significance, this stage is complemented by four more alternative performance areas: an amphitheater, an experimental theater, an opera and a dance hall. Each of them counts on single and collective dressing rooms, lounges, and rehearsal or study rooms
