Centro cívico integral Kankuruas

Abstract

The following thesis arose from the analysis of inequalities and social segregation present in an informal slum in the city such as Unir II in the Engativá sector in the city of Bogotá. This adjoins other neighborhoods whose urban development was planned, in addition to being next to the water's edge of the Jaboque wetland, the second most important intermediate ecosystem in the city of Bogotá. It presents problems at a quantitative and qualitative level since it lacks urban infrastructure, public space index, garbage management and also part of its homes are built on the environmental management and preservation zone (ZMPA), which generates invasion and expropriation of the body of water and environmental conflicts. When questioning how to find strategies that from architecture break paradigms and mitigate the constant social segregation generated in the Unir II neighborhood by the collective imaginations of the adjacent neighborhoods, the proposal arises to provide the urban piece with the design of a collective facility. The development of this civic cultural facility will provide integration into the community and recover the value of what it means to be adjacent to a body of water, through different activities of active, passive and cognitive development recreation. This will reach an architectural design scope in relation to its immediate context, always keeping in mind the objectives of sustainable development.
