Diseño centro cultural y etnoeducativo mediante la arquitectura étnica con fines de apropiación territorial para la comunidad indígena Ticuna en Leticia Amazonas

Abstract

Due to the high rate of migration and subsequent population decrease, the indigenous Ticuna San Pedro Los Lagos reservation in the municipality of Leticia, Amazonas, does not have an educational level or adequate institutional facilities for the free development of their customs for territorial appropriation purposes. This rural project aims to address this need by offering educational opportunities. Taking into account that most of the people of this indigenous community are economically disadvantaged due to the lack of opportunities and the inaction of the State, we intend to trigger a response that encourages the development of infrastructure for the community and that its members seek permanence within their territory, thus favoring the expansion of the same. In order to preserve cultural artifacts such as languages, traditions, techniques, gastronomy and recreational activities with a pedagogical character for social development, this project seeks to design architectural service spaces for the community affected by this problem, including young children, adolescents and adults, proposing adequate facilities with optimal spaces, culturally and integrally symbolic of their roots.
