Inicio de una nueva era: arquitectura y contexto entendido a través del dibujo y el análisis

Abstract

The approach to understanding the Bogotá context immediately after the Bogotazo event and the subsequent building activity generated in the city center is presented in this text. The way in which the members of the seedbed elaborate the analytical construction of buildings that represent the spirit of renovation and insertion of the city in a transition of the modes, types and architectural styles generated because of the Bogotazo and of the argument that modernism introduces at that time in the city. This city was in a new era of consolidation, after the surprising moments that were experienced because of the death of Jorge Eliécer Gaitán; this as a determinant of the historical context. Architecturally, the impact that this event had on the development of the buildings constructed from there, in this case, by the firm Martínez Cárdenas & Cia. Ltda, is analyzed, since a new architecture was being implemented, which at that time was unknown to many. This is consolidated in the importance of understanding the purpose of implementing this new architecture and how it was included in the context; concluded in the completion of the analysis and its responses to the purpose.
