Plaza de mercado el Rincón, la plaza de mercado como reactivador de dinámicas urbanas, caso de estudio UPZ 28

Abstract

The market squares are considered as the bridge between the rural and the urban, together they are also points with great cultural strength where gastronomic activities of a social, commercial, political nature are developed and even, precisely from there lies its historical importance in society. In the case of the El Rincon neighborhood in the town of Suba, due to the lack of an adequate space for the development of the market place in the neighborhood, the merchants who have been selling agricultural products in the sector for 43 years, decided to locate informally on both sides of the diagonal 129 B bis, bringing with it various problems of order and public health.

For this reason, the relocation of these informal merchants is proposed through the design of a Market Square implanted in a lot close to the original informal market. This will be carried out taking as reference documents from the district planning department and articles written in the 88th edition of scale magazine. This design will take into account the cultural and historical characteristics of the sector, proposing in its scheme a way of making a market similar to how It is currently done, but in an organized way and with absolute control over food. The project will also consider complementary uses to the original cells of the project in order to modernize what is known as a "market place" in addition to this use supporting the economic sustainability of the building.
