Home Tower: intervención del suelo urbano de la zona centro de Bogotá a partir de planes de densificación

Abstract

One of the most relevant elements in modern architecture is the implementation of high-rise buildings in cities. For many people these elements become landmarks and central axes within social functions, but they overlook the role they play in the reconstruction of urban spaces in response to the real needs of the city. High-rise buildings are part of urban densification plans, which allow concentrating a large part of the population within their structures in order to provide them with the necessary services for their development and avoid their displacement and recreation within the urban area. This methodology arises as a response to a phenomenon that has emerged in recent decades known as gentrification, which mainly affects the old quarters of cities, gradually changing the habitual use of the land, its buildings, and the cost of living, causing its inhabitants to migrate out of the sector, becoming areas of great tourist activity and targeting a group known as the floating population.
