Correlation Between Load-Bearing Structure and Generic Spaces in Productive Housing in the La Laguna Sector, San Gil

This article presents the research process regarding the characteristics and possibilities of load-bearing structures in housing, linking a structural proposal with spaces that foster dynamic relationships within, based on Leupen’s notion of generic space (2006).

Focused on a sector with difficult access characterized by a strong identity in coffee production, the project aimed to intervene in productive activities by analyzing the dynamics of the sector’s inhabitants, diagnosing issues related to research variables, and proposing a productive housing unit as a facilitator of associative and productive aspects. Additionally, various bioclimatic factors were considered to guide the project towards achieving a symbiotic integration with its location.
