Centro Educativo El Sol: espacios versátiles que incentivan el desarrollo social en consideración del entorno natural y construido

Abstract

Currently, the lack of educational facilities and the high rate of school dropout and desertion in Ciudadela Sucre of commune IV of Soacha is the result of internal displacement as a result of the armed conflict, which caused an internal migration of large population masses from the rural territory, with a consequent accelerated urban growth generating the Soacha-Bogotá conurbation with informal settlements of vulnerable population in high-risk areas and problems such as the deficit of complementary facilities and lack of quality public space. For this reason, an educational facility is proposed, integrated through an urban fabric that articulates the neighborhoods of Villa Nueva, Bella Vista and Rincón del Lago, currently isolated and with urban deterioration, which constitutes a threat to social cohesion and sustainable development of the city. Likewise, in the pedagogical field, the Montessori methodology is taken as a reference, which is applied in the design of dynamic, practical and interactive processes. In addition, in response to the requirements, versatile schools, open spaces and the model of architect Frank Loker are integrated as a conceptual guide for students to interact with free movement, physical, psychological and social development, in organized spaces for research, presentation, exchange, development and creation. With the focus on providing the educational service that has been violated and thus avoiding new threats to the community.
