Arknovu Museo de arte como elemento resignificador del valor histórico y monumental de la Arquitectura en la localidad Santa fe contiguo al Mambo

Abstract

The Santa Fe Locality has suffered a notable deterioration of the local and historical material heritage, as well as of the cultural value, which has materialized in the creation of unhealthy areas that lead to devaluation and in turn increase the insecurity of these spaces. In this way, in the Las Nieves neighborhood, a place where there is a constant flow and movement of people on a daily basis, a latent problem related to theft has been evidenced. In relation to the above, the Santa Fe Town has lost its original cultural identity. Furthermore, the lack of properly articulated cultural spaces has led to the creation of other residual spaces for activities such as drug dealing, thus increasing insecurity. This research seeks the revitalization of a setting of great historical value for the city center, as an urban integration node and as a historical landmark, through the design of an Art Museum that re-signifies this value, giving rise to a cultural axis, where it is allowed to show how it contributed to the monumental, architectural and cultural value of Bogotá at the beginning of the 20th century. The construction of Avenida el Dorado divided a historical memory of constructions, monuments, as well as architectural landmarks that have passed into oblivion and devaluation. From these events, the idea was born of intervening in the sector adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art of Bogotá (MAMBO), since it suffers from a latent problem of insecurity, as a result of its original use having been divided.
