Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Gomezcoello Ortega, Victor Manuel; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0302094859Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto de albergue municipal para personas en situación de calle en la Ciudad de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Bermeo Auquilla, Mateo Sebastián; Santander Uchubanda, Kelly Francisca; Calle Gaón, María Gabriela; 0106066780; 0150094043The research proposes the design of a integrated municipal shelter in the city of Cuenca, aimed at assisting homeless people through a social, architectural, and humanitarian approach. It is based on the lack of public infrastructure that provides dignified care, rehabilitation, and social reintegration. The study justifies its importance due to its social and urban impact, as it offers inclusive, sustainable, and replicable solutions that promote equity and community cohesion. Its benefits lie in providing an architectural model that can be adapted to public social welfare policies, with economic and scientific advantages, by optimizing resources and generating knowledge that can be applied to sustainable social design. The overall objective is to design a functional, accessible, and sustainable shelter that contributes to the reintegration and improvement of the quality of life of the vulnerable populations. The research is descriptive and project-based, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. A total of 384 surveys were administered to residents of the Sucre parish using simple random sampling. The results show broad public support and technical feasibility for its implementation, consolidating a proposal that articulates inclusion, dignity, and sustainability.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Arquitectura y espacios públicos en Cuenca: diseño de un mercado municipal como núcleo de actividad social y comercial(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Zuñiga Maza , Karelys Thais; Mendieta Sancho, Victor Mauricio; Peñafiel Ortega, Cristian Eduardo; 1104687858; 0705115061This paper examines the absence of a municipal market in the neighborhood of Miraflores in Cuenca, which has led to informal commerce, urban disorder, and deterioration of public space. This proposal aims to organize commercial activity, ensure sanitation, and strengthen social cohesion through a functional facility that is adequate for the environment. This project is distinguished for its contribution to the local economy, neighborhood identity, and its possibility of being replicated in other sectors. Its general objective is to design a municipal market under criteria of functionality and urban contextuality. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with census-type surveys applied to the inhabitants, which allowed for the precise identification of the sector's needs. The results confirm the viability of an integral design featuring 150 formal sales stalls, sanitary services, loading and unloading zones, and a central community courtyard. Bioclimatic strategies such as cross-ventilation, a green roof, and rainwater harvesting are included, in addition to open plazas and universal accessibility. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC, by its acronym in Spanish) (2022), Miraflores houses between 6,000 and 12,000 residents, a population for which a market with these characteristics is both appropriate and necessary.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Diseño de mobiliario multifuncional para la optimización de espacios reducidos en entornos urbanos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Lucero Picón, Pablo Esteban; Angumba Aguilar, Pedro Javier; 0107087553This research addresses the reduction of housing footage in Cuenca and its impact on ergonomics, comfort, and functionality. A mixed approach was applied, including a literature review, a comparative analysis of seven cases of transformable furniture, and a survey of 14 users. Based on the data, formal, functional, technological, sustainable, and safety criteria were formulated, guiding the design of six prototypes aimed at integrating rest, storage, teleworking, and recreation in compact spaces. The results indicate that 78% of the respondents prioritize transformable solutions, and the lack of work surface and storage is the main problem. The proposal optimizes usable area through combinable modules and rotation/lifting mechanisms, supported by anthropometric and normative parameters. Technical specifications, an exploded view, unit budgets, and safe use guidelines are included. In conclusion, multifunctional furniture, designed with verifiable criteria, improves habitability and expands the use of space without enlarging the dwelling, providing replicable bases for future research and local prefabrication.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto de regeneración urbana arquitectónica para la Plaza Central de Llacao: aplicación de la teoría de las ventanas rotas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Vélez Chillogallo, Cristopher Rodrigo; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0106389992This study addresses the architectural urban regeneration of the Llacao Central Plaza, applying the Broken Windows Theory as an analytical and design methodology to reverse the physical and social deterioration of public space. The study is based on the recognition that neglected furniture, poor lighting, and functional disorder are direct causes of insecurity and loss of local identity. It is justified by its social, cultural, and environmental relevance, as it proposes a sustainable and replicable intervention model for rural contexts undergoing urban transition. Its general objective was to design a comprehensive proposal that promotes safety, accessibility, and inclusion through participatory urban design strategies. This research is descriptive, analytical, and project-oriented, with a sample of 300 residents selected by probabilistic sampling. The results show that redesigning the space, removing visual barriers, and incorporating corn symbolism strengthen social cohesion and citizen ownership. The final proposal improves environmental quality, consolidates territorial identity, and contributes to the sustainable development of Llacao.
