Arquitectura para poblaciones migrantes : diseño arquitectónico de módulos hiperconectados en lugares de tránsito.

Abstract

Architecture today addresses a contemporary challenge. This challenge arises from the growing influence of influence of virtuality and digitalization on the perception of physical space. It is based in global connectivity and widespread access to digital experiences. Both pose challenges to maintaining the authenticity and relevance of physical space. This leads to rethinking the role of the architectural program and its flexibility in designing spaces that adapt to an increasingly digital society. In this context, technology is envisioned as an integral element that has the potential to redefine the way physical spaces are inhabited and experienced. It also turns man into a multi-territorial being. That is, he does not require a physical space to maintain levels of interaction with others. Because the digital world stimulates the development of new meaningful experiences and allows to perform daily activities from different existing contexts. From this point it is possible to reflect how the conception of architecture can become a variable aspect, depending on the requirements and needs defined by an increasingly digital user. Leading to the need for spaces to be multifunctional to meet the needs of multi-territorial users. This project addresses the problem of the need for a physical space that is able to coexist and maintain a synergy with the virtual space. Four places of intervention located in the city are analyzed, they are called “transit places” where the architectural design of hyperconnected modules is proposed. The target users are migrant populations, classifying them as digital migrants, forced migrants and autonomous migrants. Where this problem is approached from the visibility of an opportunity. Where the infrastructure offered by these places is used according to the needs of migrants. This proposing the concept of adaptable multiprogram in the design of a flexible and hyperconnected space that adapts to the needs according to the user’s activities.
