Centro cultural "La casa para todos": Equipamiento para el fortalecimiento de las tradiciones agrícolas y culturales de Granada, Cundinamarca

Abstract

The project "The House for All cultural center", emerges as a tool to counteract the lack of access to higher education and training programs by young graduates and farmers in Granada, Cundinamarca. Bearing in mind that this municipality is considered the agricultural pantry of the Department, the proposal seeks to preserve, strengthen and safeguard agricultural traditions, as well as improve the quality of production thanks to the use of new technologies for Agro. By its nature, the cultural center also represents the opportunity to strengthen the construction, education, culture and identity of this population. In order to carry out the proposal, it was necessary to initiate an investigative and project phase by means of which it was determined to propose modifications in the E.O. T so that, on the one hand, the adjoining grounds establish session areas that are articulate with the project and, on the other, it generates a regulation that restricts the parking on the main roads of the urban center. Because the current area of the given lot does not meet the needs of the project, its expansion would result in a cultural center that complements public space through an access square, which also works as an area for Trainings and cultural events, an auditorium, a library and a music and dance hall. This would make the project a cultural milestone that puts in dialogue the existing architecture with the public space in a contemporary way and contributes so much to the cultural identity of the municipality as to its architectural heritage history.
