Abstract

Hospital equipment is an area of great interest within the field of architecture, beyond the complexity of its design, its objective is to ensure the safety, integrity and well-being of services for prevention, care and treatment in the health sector. However, these same characteristics constitute the problem of El Salvador Hospital in the municipality of Ubaté, head of the northeastern health region of Cundinamarca. Currently, categorized Level II of medium complexity and whose building is cataloged as asset of Testimonial interest, it works with a lower offer than that available in its portfolio of services, where the first non-existent are those of a specialized nature; this as a result of the alterations and deterioration of the current infrastructure, which in addition to representing a loss of identity and heritage memory, adds to the lack of spaces that respond to the provisions for these specialized services, forcing the population of the municipality and the nine municipalities under its jurisdiction to resort to outside the region, sometimes threatening their health and economic status. It is, entities therefore, that under a research project seeks to develop a proposal for recovery, revitalization and expansion of the current Hospital, making him as hospital complex regional recategorized in level III of increased complexity of health care and for which encourages an approach from the constructs of the theory of the Neuroarchitecture and Biophilic design integrated to the intervention of the architectural heritage.
