Recreativo Cultural Arturo Trannack Zapala

Abstract

Zapala, founded in 1913 by brothers Arturo and Ricardo Tomás Trannack, is a city that was strengthened after the arrival of the railroad on January 2, 1914, a project that catalyzed its development and consolidated its strategic importance in the province of Neuquén. Throughout its history, both its native population and the large arrival of immigrants have demonstrated great adaptation to adverse climatic conditions. These resilience is manifested today through various cultural activities and fairs that celebrate their roots and promote cultural identity. Taking into account the context in which it is located, the opportunity to project a space that not only welcomes these cultural manifestations, but also enhances them, giving rise to the project of the Arturo Trannack Zapala Cultural Recreation Center, which seeks to be a pillar in the continuous development of the social and cultural life of the city, as Zapala hosts a series of events and fairs that celebrate its cultural roots, bringing the community together around music, dance, art and expressions folkloric. The cultural recreational center aims to improve shared spaces intended for different regional cultural activities, in order to generate containment spaces against climatic conditions. Positioned in the center of the province, and strategically, the property has heritage railway facilities that connect the city from East to West.
