Vivienda WAYÚU en San Francisco, perteneciente al municipio de Barrancas departamento de La Guajira.

Abstract

La Guajira is a department of Colombia that has two main characteristics; it has developed under tourism and has continuous mining operations. This has periodically changed the climates, and has further accentuated the shortage of drinking water, generating two types of drought, one mild and the other very intense. One of the most affected communities is indigenous communities, which are the most affected by economic factors, causing migration in ways to nearby towns and villages in search of food and the most precious liquid such as water for the subsistence of the family and its animals. This project proposes cultural housing integrating the economic growth of the indigenous community, thus projecting a model of indigenous sustainability through housing and productive territory, with the objective of achieving the improvement of a quality of life in the conditions of survival and an adequate exploitation of the natural memories, seeking to satisfy the basic necessities that impede the development of the Wayuú community. The project has taken into account the spatial distribution they retain as an ancestral legacy, but the opinion of each member of the ticket has also been taken into account through the participatory architecture that was carried out within the San Francisco ticket, where it proposes a self-sustainable model making feasible the solutions to the problems presented by the community today. This project seeks to increase the social, economic development and consistency of housing within this Wayuú community, without affecting its culture and customs by employing the construction of productive houses in structural masonry, facilitating the processing of the resources and potential of the shelter; two prototypes of isolated replicable dwellings are made for the community, as well as the technological development that is used in foundations, roofs, water system, energy, forms and materiality, defining their appearance without losing the principle of identity maintaining always their originality and the art of the fabrics that characterizes the Wayuú culture. Within its territory a proposal of natural routes is proposed using elements, plants, soils derived from the Wayuú culture
