Proyecto para la construcción del Museo de la Memoria en Honda-Tolima

Abstract

The historic center of the city of Honda, located in the department of Tolima and the main and historic port on the Magdalena River, has entered in recent years in a process of physical deterioration as a result of political, environmental and economic situations, which has caused many traditional residents to migrate to other areas of the department; propitiating this, the occupation of the historic center by foreigners and social classes with greater economic capacity, attracted by the landscape, architecture and urbanism. While this process benefits an important component of the municipality's economy, it neglects a socially important fact such as the preservation of the city's historical memory. For this reason, it is especially important to propose a cultural scenario for the inhabitants of Honda that preserves the cultural and historical identity of this port on the Magdalena for the knowledge of the new generations.
