Equipamiento de desarrollo cultural y crecimiento espiritual como estrategia de fortalecimiento sociocultural para el municipio de Siachoque

Abstract

This project focuses on the construction of a Christian church that integrates large spaces, prayer halls, dining areas, and sports facilities, with a cultural-architectural approach. The main objective is to develop a spatially pleasing design that promotes spiritual growth, community interaction, the participation of congregation members, and generates social support for the issues affecting the adolescent population of the municipality, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, early pregnancies, and lack of vision. To achieve this, the implementation of a new project with an architectural scheme that addresses the needs and deficiencies of the current infrastructure is proposed. For this very same reason we have studied various architectural references that have been successful in their way of resolving and integrating into the intervention site have been studied for this purpose. The proposed architectural design is based on the creation of flexible and functional spaces that adapt to diverse activities and needs. Aspects such as space distribution, lighting, acoustics, circulation of people, and connection between different environments are taken into consideration. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the importance of using materials and finishes that reflect the values and identity of the Christian community. The importance of sustainability and accessibility in the architectural design of the church is also addressed. Strategies are proposed to incorporate eco-friendly elements and ensure that spaces are accessible to people with disabilities. In conclusion, the proposed facility offers a practical articulation of spaces that interact with each other to strengthen the successful dynamics that the church has been working on since its establishment in the municipality, thus addressing its spatial problems. For over twelve years, the church has been constructing exponentially and limited by a low budget, resulting in a fragmented architecture. This socio-cultural facility aims to stimulate social and community development, allowing for economic growth that can have a positive impact on the local economy. By attracting cultural activities, cultural tourism can also help promote the identity and heritage of Siachoque, Boyacá municipality.
