Abstract

The hotel has the essence of the environment, through the vernacular architecture as an architectural solution. The typology of traditional wayuu housing leads us to the type of spatial, technical, formal and functional ordering of the project, that is to say that the hotel will consist of a distribution center of spaces by means of a perimeter circulation type cloister, the housing area is divided into super dispersed modules for a continuous flow of air, each circulation will be open, accompanied by green areas, vegetation and natural materials. Each space of the hotel will have as priority the handling of textures, natural light and cross ventilation to reach an atmosphere of comfort for the user. The hotel materialized from a mixed constructive system since it seeks to reinterpret the traditional to the modern, then, it will consist of a metal structure with wooden walls (tree trupillo) and the enramadas with the material of the area the yotojoro with columns of wood. The housing area will be implemented solar panels for the use of the sun, in addition to insulating materials in order to mitigate the overheating of the space, the roof will be raised for an air intake but a false ceiling will be used to confine the room, this will facilitate the use of mechanical air conditioning systems to generate comfort, in addition to wide openings for avisual to the outside and the entry of air and natural light. The spaces of the hotel will include furniture already existing typical of the Wayuu culture such as textiles, hammocks, symbols, textures, etc.
