La arquitectura como estrategia para el mejoramiento integral de barrios en los bordes urbanos: PMB - Sierra Morena Usme

Abstract

For approximately 20 years Bogota has adopted a dispersed territory model that has affected its physical characteristics with a disproportionate population growth, because until now the social level has been influenced, reaching only 15% compliance in the planning of the territory (Lara, 2017), in addition, neighborhoods have originated that begin as illegal settlements, and a feeling of search for supplying the needs of the people who live there to lead a dignified life. With the above, the Sierra Morena Usme neighborhood, taking into account its location on the eastern edge and its proximity to an environmental axis such as the Yomasa stream, becomes a key point for the project design of a PMB (neighborhood improvement plan), so it is proposed the design of an urban network that integrates the environmental public space, with the present urban development and in turn the social needs are supplied, for this the concept of urban acupuncture network will be applied, The concept of urban acupuncture network will be applied, based on the theory of urban acupuncture and the theory of the urban network, using as strategies the design of urban spaces (use of furniture, materials and adequate green areas), equipment (focused on the environmental, social and cultural service of the neighborhood) and road intervention (proposal of road profiles), with the purpose of generating circulation spaces integrated to the social dynamics that have been developing, that is, a balance between its social state and natural landscape.
