Generic Space and Traditional Rural Housing in the Los Soches Hamlet, Usme

The patterns of activity and growth that develop in a dwelling can be as diverse as its occupants, so the organizational and functional structure must meet the need for a more flexible and adaptable space with a prospective vision of its use over time, characteristics that become more urgent in a rural environment where the activity, unlike the urban context, is increased due to the productive connotation of the territory and the need to maintain a permeable relationship with his periphery. Regard these aspects, the research focuses on determining how a generic space enables not only the multiple interaction between activities, but also recognizes the flexible capacity needed to adapt such uses according to multiple activities that give mobility to the space, because, although it is not possible to determine its specific use in the future, it is necessary to anticipate which elements of it will eventually change. For this reason, the project develops a mixed methodology for the compilation of both physical and phenomenal data, in order to recognize the relationships between spaces and carry out a direct intervention on the organizational structure, with the ultimate goal of creating generic spaces that transform it according to the progressive growth.
