Centro de Convenciones del Callao

Abstract

En el terreno ubicado frente al Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez en el cruce de las avenidas Elmer Faucett y Tomás Valle, en la Provincia Constitucional del Callao se propone un Centro de Convenciones, complementado además por un conjunto de tiendas comerciales en los primeros niveles y oficinas en los niveles superiores. Tiene un área de terreno de 15 775 m2, con un área techada de más de 80 000m2, con 36 metros de altura y proveerá de equipamiento para exposiciones, conferencias, congresos empresariales y eventos de gran envergadura. El Centro de Convenciones del Callao posee espacios públicos generados entre los edificios; de tal modo que los usuarios al salir de los edificios pueden disfrutar de la dinámica urbana que se genera en ellos. De esta manera se logra brindar a los usuarios y al ciudadano del Callao espacios públicos tales como calles, alamedas y plazas en los cuales puedan realizar actividades de recreación pasiva, siendo estos espacios un regalo a la ciudad la cual en la actualidad carece de los mismos.

The Convention Center project will be located on a terrain in front of the Jorge Chávez International Airport, at the intersection of Elmer Faucett and Tomas Valle avenues, in the Constitutional Province of Callao. A set of commercial stores will be located on the first and second floors, while offices will be located on the remaining floors. The Convention Center´s terrain has 15 775m2, more than 80 000m2 of covered area, and is 36m height. It will provide appropriate equipment for exhibitions, conferences, business conferences and major events. The Convention Center of Callao has generated public spaces located in-between its own buildings, so that users leaving the buildings are able to enjoy them. The Constitutional Province of Callao doesn´t have enough public spaces where people may spend time and experience urban life, so one of the main goals for The Convention Center of Callao was incorporating spaces for the public use into its own facilities, this goal was achieved by providing the users of the Convention Center of Callao and Callao´s citizens with spaces specifically designed for the public use, such as streets, boulevards and squares in which people can engage into passive recreation activities. The spaces for the public use at the Convention Center of Callao are conceived as a continuation of Callao´s public spaces as if they were one and the same.
