Prototipo de vivienda implementado cargotectura como alternativa para la zona rural de Ciudad Bolívar

Abstract

This research develops the design and adaptation of an alternative housing proposal, implementing Cargotectura as a construction method in the rural part of Ciudad Bolívar. The objective of this project lies in the need to implement a housing prototype in the southwestern sector of Bogotá where a large part of the residents is classified in strata 1 and 2, with 16% of the residents living in extreme poverty and 25% of the inhabitants belong to the displaced population. Hence this research aims at presenting a prototype of decent, affordable and rapidly implemented housing for people who belong to the lowest strata. Additionally, this inquiry seeks to disclose the evident housing deficit in the rural part of Ciudad Bolívar besides the scarce participation of the state in housing access programs. In the unfolding of this research, the sketch of a housing prototype based on cargo containers is presented. This housing prototype complies with the requirements of the inhabitants in the rural part of the town, promotes a productive area of the project through its design and adopts a sustainable and rapidly deployable construction method.
