Vivienda sostenible para población desplazada en Buenaventura

Abstract

This project arises from the need for housing generated by population displacement in Valle del Cauca - Colombia, as a result of violence, informal settlements and lack of decent work, etc., giving as a benefit in the location, an abundance of raw materials for use in the construction of housing, with a wooden construction system, generating a help to this population lacking support from the Government. This is a very marked situation at present and this problem brings to light the basic needs of the population, which directly affect people from the elderly to newborns without opportunities for housing, food and study. Therefore, a study of the displaced population was conducted, which yielded information on basic needs, resulting in the high housing deficit that exists in Buenaventura. The Colombian State has not generated the necessary humanitarian aid for the infrastructural and social problems experienced by the displaced population, where they have been affected by the armed conflicts and informal settlements that exist in this sector of the country, caused by drug trafficking, violence and the control of Buenaventura's maritime routes. Based on the above and as a solution to the problems exposed, the objective is to propose sustainable housing VIS, located in an area of optimal housing expansion and built in native wood as a base material for the project and thus achieve a solution to the major problems experienced by this population in Buenaventura.
