- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoSupermanzana como alternativa de habitabilidad para el Sector 9 de Octubre de la Ciudad de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Morocho Abarca, Pablo Andrés; Mogrovejo Peláez, Jhon Ismael; Quezada Ortega, Jaime Ramiro; 0105609457; 0105970776; Salto, ClaudioThe Historic Center of Cuenca is facing a set of housing problems, including excessive vehicle use, lack of green areas, informal vending, centralism around Parque Calderón (Calderon Park), and a shortage of recreational areas, which contribute to the isolation of the community and the migration of older adults. These challenges are suggested to be addressed through a case study that begins with a diagnosis and analysis of the current situation using tabulation of data obtained from the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses of Ecuador 2010 (INEC by its Spanish acronym) and a photographic record of this situation. Furthermore, conducting a land use assessment and gathering information on superblocks is suggested. It is vital to update the original 2010 study with recent data up to 2024 before moving forward with the urban design proposal at the design level, which seeks to improve the livability of the historic center, addressing aspects such as land use, population density, green areas, urban mobility, and facilities.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoDesarrollo de una guía de soluciones integradas para la prevención de patologías de humedad en cimientos y muros: el papel crucial del dren perimetral y geotextil en la Ciudad de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cabrera González, Pamela Sthephany; Illisaca Gallego, Kevin Patricio; Quesada Molina, Juan Felipe; 0150558773; 0106824980This document studies the pathologies related to humidity in the walls and foundations of houses in Cuenca, Ecuador, due to the water table caused by the four rivers that cross the city. This situation causes water leaks that are dangerous to building structures generating significant challenges for their stability and durability. Additionally, antecedents reveal poor construction practices for managing humidity in this region, exacerbating structural problems and accelerating building deterioration. The research is justified by implementing practical solutions, such as drainage systems and geotextiles, to mitigate pathologies derived from the water table. These solutions seek to preserve the architectural heritage of Cuenca and offer replicable strategies for other regions with similar problems. Data was collected through convenience sampling in five accessible houses with humidity problems located near natural bodies of water or in areas with high topography. Finally, the research culminates with developing a practical guide on applying drainage systems to solve the problems observed during the technical visits, focusing on Cuenca's most common types of foundations, such as isolated footings and continuous stone walls, and providing recommendations that can be effectively implemented to reduce and prevent damage caused by moisture.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoDiseño de prototipo de panel prefabricado a base del adobillo mejorado de tierra, empleando criterios de sostenibilidad ambiental(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Arévalo Ordoñez, Jair Sebastián; Mina Bautista, Sofia Alejandra; Borja Pozo, Rafael Enrique; 0106505274; 0104670971; Maldonado, LeonardoThis research project addresses two fundamental problems: the valorization of land as a traditional construction material and the unsustainable exploitation of non-renewable resources, which generates high energy consumption and CO2 emissions. From the above, there is an interest in developing an investigative and experimental document focused on developing prefabricated earth-based elements for non-load-bearing masonry inside buildings in Cuenca. The starting point of the research object is based on a literature review that allows to learn about the construction and architectural characteristics, including strategies, materials, dosages, and stabilizers. The project includes an experimental phase with laboratory tests to evaluate compressive strength and diametric compression tensile. The results will be contrasted with the guidelines of Standard E-0.80 and the Spanish Standard UNE 41410 to validate and improve the traditional adobillo through the dosage of Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste in proportions of 10%, 20%, and 30%, to validate your application. Finally, with the results of these tests, the design and proposal of prefabricated earth panels are conducted as a viable and sustainable solution for constructing non-load-bearing walls. These panels represent an ecological and innovative alternative in the field of self-construction, offering a more environmentally friendly construction approach.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoEstrategias de planificación para la reintegración del uso residencial frente a la gentrificación: en la Calle Larga entre Tarqui y Benigno Malo(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Astudillo Tapia, Diego Vicente; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0107627242This study analyzes the reintegration of residential use in the Historic Center of Cuenca, focusing on the Larga Street between the Tarqui Street and Benigno Malo Street. The research addresses the phenomenon of gentrification in this area, where residential spaces have been displaced by commercial and tourist uses, such as temporary housing, hotels, and night entertainment venues. This process has increased the demand for complementary services, affecting the original residential dynamics. The study proposes land use regulation to counteract gentrification and encourage the reintegration of displaced residents. This includes implementing a mix of residential and commercial uses, promoting greater urban cohesion and a more balanced development. The study's main objective is to develop urban planning strategies that facilitate the recovery of residential use in the affected area. The methodology is based on a strategic diagnosis that was conducted to evaluate the current state of the area and the most critical problems. Among the proposals, creating green spaces, recreation areas, rest areas, public parking, reducing space for vehicles, and prioritizing pedestrians stand out. These measures present a more sustainable and balanced development, integrating residents into a mixed and diversified urban environment.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoCentro de convenciones para la Ciudad de Cuenca en la Parroquia Machángara(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Crespo Sibri, Vilma Alexandra; Morocho Peláez, Andres Wilfrido; Pesántez Pesántez, José Francisco; 0106909310; 0106560998This graduation work, called "Convention Center for the City of Cuenca in the Machángara Parish," responds to the lack of cultural spaces for large-scale events, generating chaos in parts of the city and road congestion because public places are chosen to hold these events. Consequently, this work is based on creating the architectural design proposal for a Convention Center for the city of Cuenca, aiming to create spaces for meetings and diverse events in optimal conditions for users. This study uses the inductive-deductive approach with a systematic mixed methodological process in which an architectural technique called Biomimesis is incorporated. It proposes that the design must be extracted from a natural context to add to the inclusion of sustainable criteria. After analyzing the situation of the problem raised and the context of implementation, a proposal will be projected with possible solutions for the case, taking into account case studies extracted from different parts of the world to evaluate its effects. As a result, the objective of this proposal is to create spaces that allow enjoyment and social cohesion, with areas that are ideal for the correct performance of each activity, and that meet the security requirements that a building must have so that the Convention Center is the result of combining design, sustainability, and comfort.
