Pasaje cultural San Alejo: Propuesta de articulación y revitalización urbana entre en el centro histórico e internacional de Bogotá D.C. a partir de la consolidación de una manzana de interés cultural

Abstract

Starting from a problem of public space in the center of Bogotá, the recovery and renovation of the traditional San Alejo flea market is proposed, as an informal trade market located on the seventh street corridor between 24th Street and El Dorado Avenue, specifically through the design of an architectural object that promotes order in the public space of this sector. In the same way an urban revitalization will be carried out between the parks, independence, bicentennial, the proposed architectural project for the San Alejo flea market and the pedestrianization of the seventh career, understanding this corridor as a historic pedestrian space, where today During the day a number of commercial and socio-cultural activities are housed, so we will investigate and analyze the background and testimonies of the citizens who take advantage of these spaces, specifically the visitors and merchants of the flea market that is developed every weekend for 35 years. Likewise, data on its development will be considered, taking into account the impact caused by the overflow of commercial activity, mostly of an informal nature, which is placed on the terraces and streets of the area, saturating the sector and interrupting the function of the public space. Based on the above, the proposal is aimed at preserving and promoting the practice of informal commerce dedicated to the recovery, restoration and circulation of objects with patrimonial value
