Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Analizar el revoque de tierra, resistente a la disgregación de sus partículas finas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Punín Pichasaca, Maximiliano; Angumba Aguilar, Pedro Javier; 0301863437In vernacular architecture, the final earthen layer is used to protect and finish surfaces. This practice has been common in the Sierra region of Ecuador since ancient times, as well as in other parts of the world. The purpose of this analysis is to examine methods for optimizing the characteristics of the mixtures used in surface renders, to significantly improve resistance to external stresses. To this end, conventional techniques are considered, along with the materials and methods available in the province of Cañar, Ecuador. The measurement of compressive strength is essential to assess the quality of the different mixtures tested, as it determines whether these mixtures are suitable for use in the final coating layer. The results show that the inclusion of natural additives influences the disintegration of fine particles in earthen plaster mixtures. The differences in compressive strength among the various types of mixtures and the original mixture demonstrate this and make it possible to define the optimal composition.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Plan masa para el Aeropuerto Mariscal Lamar: integración de espacios verdes y dinamización cultural y social(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Cabrera Iñaguazo, Byron Mauricio; Lazo Ulloa, Jorge Mateo; León Andrade, Mónica Piedad; 0107331761; 0107230146This research proposes the redevelopment of Mariscal Lamar Airport in Cuenca into a mega urban park through a master plan focused on sustainable regeneration, the integration of green spaces, and the cultural and social revitalization of the city. The goal is to develop a planning model that promotes urban cohesion, environmental sustainability, and the reuse of obsolete infrastructure. It should be noted that the research adopts a qualitative, exploratory, and projective methodology, structured in four stages: data collection, analysis of international and national case studies, urban environmental diagnosis of the area, and formulation of sustainable design strategies. As a result, the proposed Master Plan reorganizes the former airport site into interconnected ecological, recreational, and cultural areas, integrating principles of active mobility, green infrastructure, and citizen participation. This proposal seeks to consolidate a new urban lung for Cuenca, capable of articulating nature and community, and serving as a reference for future interventions in cities with similar problems.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Propuesta de un mortero con material reciclable de desechos del mármol gris en la Ciudad de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Pangol Veletanga, Carlos Iván; Angumba Aguilar, Pedro Javier; 0105035968This research addresses constructive solutions that harmonize architectural efficiency with environmental sustainability through the development and characterization of an adhesive mortar that incorporates recyclable material derived from gray marble waste. This approach has a dual benefit: reducing the environmental impact generated by the accumulation of industrial waste and optimizing resources in the construction sector. The core of the research lies in the comprehensive reuse of pulverized gray marble waste, transforming it from an environmental liability into a valuable raw material for the manufacture of mortar intended for bonding ceramic coatings. A rigorous methodology was implemented to validate this hypothesis. Initially, an exhaustive literature review was conducted to determine the physical-chemical properties, current technical standards, and optimal characteristics that this type of mortar must meet to guarantee its functionality and durability. Subsequently, the experimental phase will be crucial. Specialized laboratory tests were designed and executed, focused on accurately determining the adhesion and compressive strength of the resulting material. These tests made it possible to evaluate its structural performance compared to conventional mortars. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of integrating gray marble waste into the construction value chain, offering an innovative mortar whose responsible use and construction feasibility contribute significantly to mitigating the waste problem.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; 0302094859; García Calle, Anthony AlxanderItem type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Duque Bermeo, Juan Pablo; Torres Quezada, Jefferson Eloy; 0105973150Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto arquitectónico para la integración del mercado itinerante y el Centro Cultural El Cebollar, Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Rivera Carpio, Kevin Ismael; Reyes Rodas, Deysi Katerine; 0107086506This project addresses the preliminary architectural design for the integration of the itinerant market and cultural center in the El Cebollar sector of Cuenca, Ecuador. The initiative arose in response to the lack of an adequate, integrated, and sustainable infrastructure, which has led to urban disorder, environmental deterioration, and social fragmentation. The study begins with a historical review of cultural centers and markets, highlighting their interrelationship in the economy and the social network. Subsequently, national and international architectural references are analyzed, and the current regulations applicable to each type are examined. From there, a diagnosis of the El Cebollar sector is carried out, identifying the main urban planning problems. Based on this analysis, a preliminary project is proposed that connects both facilities through a functional, accessible, and sustainable proposal. The proposal aims to improve the organization of public space, strengthen the neighborhood’s identity, and boost the local economy. The design considers criteria of spatial efficiency, urban integration, and sustainability, consolidating an urban node that responds to the needs of the community and can be implemented in similar contexts.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.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Diseño de vivienda colectiva en terrenos con pendientes: estrategias arquitectónicas y constructivas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Méndez Sangurima, Franklin Geovanny; Torres Serrano, Fabián José; Moscoso García, Pedro Alex; 0105279707; 1105079139This thesis addresses the design of collective housing on hillside sites in Cuenca, Ecuador, as a response to uncontrolled urban growth and the scarcity of flat land. Based on technical and contextual analysis, it was determined that terrain stability and water management are the fundamental axes of hillside design. The results show that the application of comprehensive construction systems—combining surface and deep drainage, retaining walls, stepped or deep foundations, and lightweight metal or laminated wood structures—ensures safety and sustainability. From an architectural perspective, strategies vary according to the terrain slope: linear layouts on gentle slopes, stepped or mixed layouts on medium slopes, and elevated or semi-buried structures on slopes exceeding 25%. These solutions promote morphological adaptation to the terrain, optimize habitability, and strengthen the relationships with the natural environment. Overall, the research proposes an adaptable, resilient, and sustainable architectural and construction model for collective housing development in hillsides.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Moreira Abril, Miguel Angel; Albarracín Vélez, Giovanny Marcelo; 0105385942Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Diseño de un centro comunitario y reactivación urbana: lo interactivo y la cohesión social, en Cuenca-Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Aguirre Tenorio, Melissa Estefanía; Pesántez Bravo, Sofía Mickaela; Borja Pozo, Rafael Enrique; 0104672621; 0706429313This preliminary project focused on the architectural design of a future community center in the sector of El Ejido-4, Sucre parish, in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. Its purpose was to foster social cohesion and the integral development of the community, particularly in urban areas with limited recreational and educational infrastructure. This project aimed to propose a design that would enable future recovery and revitalization of the public space as an inclusive, safe, and accessible environment, promoting citizen participation and social integration through cultural, recreational, and formative activities. The proposal was developed at the architectural preliminary design level, prioritizing flexibility of uses and integrating green spaces, recreation areas, multifunctional classrooms, and leisure zones. Principles of universal accessibility, sustainability, and urban resilience were incorporated to ensure that the design meets the needs of people of different ages and socioeconomic groups. Furthermore, programmatic guidelines oriented towards community participation were established, considering the future incorporation of residents in the center's planning and management process to strengthen a sense of belonging and ownership of the space. Overall, the preliminary project proposes the creation of a dynamic public space that, once constructed, will foster social interaction, reduce inequalities, and generate opportunities for personal and collective development, consolidating itself as a future catalyst for social integration and urban regeneration in the city of Cuenca.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Espacio de convivencia y desarrollo social propuesta a nivel de anteproyecto arquitectónico de un mercado municipal en Sucúa, Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Cevallos Jara, Juan Matías; Helguero Delgado, Sebastián Paúl; Quizhpe Campoverde, José David; 0106080518; 1401082035This project develops the preliminary architectural design for the new Municipal Market in Sucúa, in response to population growth and the limitations of the “Primero de Mayo” Market, which has insufficient infrastructure to meet current demand. The proposal, included in the canton's 2023–2027 Development and Land Management Plan (PDOT, by its Spanish acronym), seeks to establish a modern, inclusive, and sustainable space that strengthens the local economy and contributes to social cohesion. This project is justified by its contribution to urban and community development, as it proposes a facility that incorporates commerce with services, adding recreational spaces that help promote community interaction. In other words, the overall objective was to create a comprehensive design based on sustainable principles and efficient construction systems. The methodology followed three main phases: first, collecting and analyzing the relevant literature; second, conducting a study of the urban context and its users; and finally, presenting a design proposal that includes zoning, an architectural program, preliminary plans, renderings, and a budget, all focused on sustainability and functionality. The result is an architectural program comprising 85 sale stalls, service areas, recreational spaces, and cultural zones, positioning the market as a key landmark within the urban fabric of Sucúa.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto arquitectónico del terminal terrestre intermodal para el cantón Logroño, Morona Santiago, con enfoque en la biofilia(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Armijos Alvear, Kevin Jahnder; Borja Pozo, Rafael Enrique; 1400674741This graduation project aims to develop the architectural design, at the preliminary project level, of a new intermodal bus terminal for the canton of Logroño, Ecuador. This project responds to the need for infrastructure that optimizes mobility and transportation, adopting biophilic design as its main approach. This approach seeks an architecture that reconnects humans with nature, understanding that the contact with the natural environment improves both the functionality of the space and the well-being of its users. In this regard, the proposal aims for the building to dialogue with the Amazonian context, generating a spatial experience that expresses harmony, comfort, and sense of belonging. The methodology was structured in three consecutive and complementary phases: first, research was conducted based on bibliographic sources and the analysis of architectural references to synthesize the design criteria of the biophilic approach; next, an urban and physical-environmental diagnosis of the site was carried out, which guided the project's proper implementation; finally, the formal, functional, and technological proposal was developed, applying the criteria established in the previous phases. The result was an architectural preliminary project represented through plans and renderings that guarantee an accessible, efficient, and comfortable infrastructure. The proposal transcends its operational function by configuring itself as a strategic node that strengthens regional connectivity and acts as an identity reference, demonstrating that an architecture linked to nature can become a driving force of social, environmental, and economic development for the canton.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto arquitectónico: terminal terrestre en el cantón Arenillas para mejorar la conectividad, mo- vilidad y desarrollo socioeconómico local(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Díaz Díaz, Nathaly Briggitte; Zúñiga Mantilla, Paula Damiana; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0704398544; 0107294878This study presents the design of a preliminary architectural project for a bus terminal in the Arenillas district, El Oro province, aimed at improving connectivity, reorganizing urban mobility, and promoting the socioeconomic development of this border city. The proposal arises in response to the lack of adequate infrastructure for interprovincial transportation, which has led to traffic disorganization, informal occupation of urban spaces, and constraints on local commerce. Its relevance lies in providing a technical and context-based solution that promotes territorial coordination and enhances quality of life. The study used a mixed methodology, combining a qualitative approach with quantitative support through direct observation, regulatory analysis, and surveys administered to six categories of transportation stakeholders. A finite sample was calculated for each population group. The result was a functional, sustainable, and technically feasible proposal, projected for 10 years of use. This terminal is conceived as a regional mobility hub and a replicable model in intermediate cities across the country, generating positive social, urban, and economic impacts.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Diseño a nivel de anteproyecto de un equipamiento multifuncional para la Parroquia Rural de Sidcay(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Barros González, Omar Mauricio; Peñafiel Ortega, Cristian Eduardo; 0106740251The project Design at the Preliminary Project Level of a Multifunctional Facility for the Rural Parish of Sidcay aims to improve the quality of life of residents in Sidcay, a rural parish in Cuenca, Ecuador, through the implementation of a multipurpose facility. This project is situated on a 5,100.29 m2 plot. It proposes a two-story building with a terrace, designed to adapt to the natural topography and integrate the privileged surrounding views. The program covers an area of 615.58 m2, creating a mixed-use hub. The ground floor incorporates a community pharmacy and restrooms; the next floor includes commercial premises, a restaurant, and an administrative office for the Sidcay GAD (Autonomous Decentralized Government). The main objective is to concentrate the most recurrent uses for the population, significantly improving the quality of life and reducing travel times. Additionally, the project includes public space that promotes universal accessibility, intergenerational inclusion (bio-healthy and children's playgrounds), social cohesion, and community network for local residents. This proposal is grounded in theoretical concepts of urban facilities and public space. Subsequently, it incorporates an urban diagnosis that considers citizen perception and needs, which, along with precedents and similar cases, guides an objective proposal to the current problem and allows for the optimal urban exploitation of the case study.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto de regeneración del margen del Río Yanuncay mediante un corredor verde urbano(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Bruno Bueno, Jessica Tatiana; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0152790986This project proposes the regeneration of the Yanuncay River bank in Cuenca through the creation of a 1 km urban green corridor, covering an area of 28,769 m2, with the aim of transforming a deteriorated space into a safe, accessible, and sustainable environment. The intervention is organized into three functional zones that include welcoming areas for landscape contemplation, recreational spaces and family activities, and an area dedicated to children's cycling with a community rest area. This proposal is based on a diagnosis combining the Broken Windows Theory with citizen participation, using surveys administered to 91 residents of a sector with 1,922 people. Among the most relevant findings, 78% of respondents avoid walking along the riverbank at night due to insecurity, 83% report the absence of pedestrian paths and bike lanes, while 41% highlight the lack of urban furniture, and 42% request rest areas and benches. In response, the intervention proposes consolidating vegetation as an ecological network, implementing safe bike lanes and permeable pavements, installing inclusive urban furniture, improving lighting with sustainable technologies, and reducing flood risks through green drainage systems. These actions are expected to increase user engagement and promote annual community events as indicators of impact.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto de la Plaza Artesanal en Chordeleg: integración de espacios(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Mosquera Solano, Juan Sebastián; Andino Carrasco, Stalin Fabricio; Espinoza Iñiguez, Enma Alexandra; 0105781751; 0605795251This study focuses on the design of a multifunctional artisan square in the canton of Chordeleg. The main objective is to design a preliminary architectural project that integrates functionality, sustainability, and accessibility in urban spaces to stimulate the local economy, strengthen cultural identity, and improve the community’s quality of life. The importance of this study lies in the need for a space with all facilities for the exhibition and commercialization of artisan products, contributing to the improvement of artisans’ economic conditions. This study used a qualitative approach based on structured interviews with local artisans and experts in sustainability and accessibility. The results indicate that 66.67% of the artisans face problems such as the lack of institutional support and precarious economic conditions, which limit their commercialization opportunities. Concurrently, 100% of the experts agreed on the importance of sustainability and accessibility in the design. Finally, it is considered that the design of this square would improve artisan’s working conditions, increase the visibility of their products, and also strengthen the local economy.
