Arquitectura biofílica como estrategia de diseño para la Universidad Agrícola Regional de Soacha a partir del concepto de permacultura

Abstract

In the present work, the rural´s territory deterioration that occurs in most of the municipalities of Cundinamarca will be exposed, deterioration caused by effects resulting from process called New Rurality, presenting as a case study the municipality of Soacha, in which problems associated with the loss of rural land due to uncontrolled urban expansion are present. In order to return the value and importance of rural territory and make up for a deficit in higher education in the region, Regional Agricultural University is proposed, which will be designed based on biophilic architecture and permaculture in order to carry out spatial explorations that allow the creation of spaces oriented to higher education with an agricultural production approach, where people's well-being is prioritized while integrating them with nature and the processes that this entails.
