Bucaramanga Centenario Park/ TABUÚ + Iván Acevedo Arquitectura

The History of Colombia in the heart of the Eastern Andes. Centenario Park, located in the urban center of Bucaramanga (Santander, Colombia), was founded in 1910 as part of the celebration of the Centenary of the Independence of Colombia. This vital public space on the plateau is adjacent to protected buildings such as the Centro Cultural del Oriente and the recently restored Teatro Santander. It has accumulated a shameful gradual deterioration in the last three decades, being affected by the proliferation of street violence and crime, with the absence of activities for physical and mental health.
