Prototipo Modular de Atención al Migrante en los Puntos Fronterizos Terrestres de Colombia

Abstract

Migration in the country has gone through different moments, since 2014 there has been an increase in mainly irregular migratory flows, which enter through unauthorized steps, exceeding the time limit for permanence. Colombia has been characterized throughout history as a country of emigrants (Pan American Development Foundation [FUPAD], s.f.), however, due to the situation that Venezuela has experienced, it has faced a high flow of irregular migrants, for which the government and organizations have joined efforts for the construction, adaptation of existing spaces as temporary places providing legal attention, health, temporary accommodation, food. Despite this, most of them do not have the capacity and physical conditions required for humanitarian assistance. This is why the design of a modular prototype is proposed, which responds to the needs presented by this vulnerable population, integrating architectural, constructive, climatic, topographic and bioclimatic variables, in order to be a project with versatility of implantation in different parts of the country, be it borders or concentration points in cities or towns according to the migratory dynamics that occur in the country.
