Cultural and Artistic Hub to Transform the Border Vacuum. An intervention within the Sabana train station and its surroundings.

Urban interruptions, directly affect the urban systems of a city, from the pedestrian flows to public transportation flows passing by commercial and services activities. When identifying the site of the Station of the Sabana as a scar in the urban texture of the city center of Bogota, a number of authors could be cited when talking about the phenomena, looking at the effects of such area from various point of views such as urban, architectural, social, economical and cultural. This investigation aims to study strategies to convert a Border Vacuum into a cultural and artistic hub taking into consideration the arguments of authors such as Jane Jacobs who defined the term Border Vacuum and analyses its effect, Françoise Bollack and Francesco Cherchi who present the opportunity of abandoned buildings to revive a neighborhood and the relations between the private and public spaces.Finally Camilo Osorio, on Soft Borders and his strategies to convert a barrier into a connector.
