The research focuses on identifying the cosmogonic and physical elements of the Pre-Hispanic necropolis of San Agustin and Tierradentro, located in the Colombian Massif. The funeral rite, the hypogeum (buried architecture), the stone sculptures, the geometry and the cult of water are aspects linked to its symbolism, used as tools for the realization of a contemporary architectural project, in this case, a hotel and a convention center located on the outskirts of the municipality of San Agustin. In order to carry out the research, a systematic review of similar cases has been carried out, which reinterpret native architecture and funerary architecture worldwide; in order to determine the spatial qualities and conditions of projects of this type, to apply them to the project and activate the memory of a place through architecture, commemorating the historical events that happened there. In addition, the conditions and qualities of buried architecture have been investigated so that one may be applied to the project. Finally, the project seek to make a historical claim of the cultures that accentuated in this region, the current conditions of the municipality of San Agustin were analyzed, and it was found that despite of being a place with major tourist attraction, nationally and internationally, there are very few Colombians who visit or even know about it, ignoring that the protection, conservation and memory of those settlements maintain alive the cultural diversity and Colombian identity.
