This essential historical landmark has fallen into decline regarding its use, posing a threat to its physical structure and value as a historical and cultural asset for Cuenca. The lack of an economic and social approach to revitalize the station has significantly underutilized its potential. These factors of abandonment have led the local community to take action on their own, appropriating specific spaces for communal use. Therefore, throughout this research project, each factor that makes this space suitable for restoration is considered, along with an urban-architectural revitalization proposal that integrates public spaces linked to an urban design, that serves to reuse the railway station. To this end, a prior literature review was conducted to understand optimally the theoretical concepts about abandoned public spaces. Furthermore, considering functional, occupational, topographic, aesthetic, and environmental factors from the users’ perspective, a site diagnosis was elaborated. Finally, a preliminary enhancement project and an urban-architectural design based on an analysis of precedents are proposed.Ítem Acceso Abierto Diseño de un centro de atención psicosocial comunitario mediante principios de arquitectura sensorial en la Ciudad de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Illescas Santos, David Josue; Bermeo Sarmiento, Juan Diego; Calle Gaón, María Gabriela; 0106620685; 0107653651Nowadays, Ecuador faces a significant deficit in infrastructure for mental health. This lack is evident in cities like Cuenca, where facilities for this type of center are notably limited. In this context, psychosocial centers are presented as reinterpreted spaces dedicated to the rehabilitation and emotional support of a traditional psychological center, where sensory architecture plays a crucial role in positively influencing the perception and experience of users. This thesis focuses on designing an outpatient Community Psychosocial Care Center in Cuenca, Ecuador, based on sensory architecture principles to improve users' wellness. Local needs are met through a methodology that includes a literature review, regulatory analysis, and multi-criteria diagnosis. Thus, the study seeks to create an environment that promotes calm and inclusion through sensory elements such as light, color, materials, geometry, shape, and vegetation, contributing to improving the population’s quality of life.Ítem Acceso Abierto Readecuación del antiguo peaje de Chaquilcay para la recuperación y activación del espacio público(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Pelchor Vargas, Josué Mateo; Jara Calle, Luis Fernando; Peñafiel Ortega, Cristian Eduardo; 0105998421; 0105793905The abandonment of the old toll booth at Chaquilcay has generated a series of problems in the area, such as insecurity, vandalism, deterioration of the urban landscape, environmental pollution, and underutilization of the space. These conditions affect residents and visitors, harming coexistence and the area’s development. A descriptive and exploratory approach is used to collect quantitative and qualitative data to address this situation. This information helps identify the community’s needs and possible ways to improve the current state of the space, prioritizing the analysis of the perceptions and contributions of the affected inhabitants and merchants.

The research explores how Sloterdijk's ideas of "bubbles, balloons, and foams" can help understand quality of life in contemporary architecture, examining the interaction between private and shared spaces and their impact on the sense of community and belonging. The research uses case studies in Cuenca's historical downtown, using a matrix that evaluates morphological, cultural, and social aspects. This method allows patterns to be identified in spatial organization and their effect on the inhabitants' functionality and experience. As a result, eight parameters based on Sloterdijk's theory are proposed to understand the indoor-outdoor relationship in houses. These emphasize the importance of harmoniously integrating both spaces, for example, through windows and terraces, to connect the building with its surroundings. Furthermore, they highlight the need to consider spatial diversity and the interconnection of different living areas to create environments that promote wellness among occupants.Ítem Acceso Abierto Optimización urbanística del Centro Histórico de Cuenca mediante estrategias de supermanzanas entre las calles Presidente Borrero, Simón Bolívar, Mariano Cueva y Mariscal Lamar(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Ayora Guillén, Mateo Nicolás; Ayora Guillén, Esteban Javier; Espinoza Iñiguez, Enma Alexandra; 0106369572; 0104975719; García Calle, Anthony AlxanderThis graduation project proposes an innovative and necessary approach to address the challenges of mobility and sustainability in the Historic Center of Cuenca. Through an analysis of national and international case studies, issues such as traffic congestion and the reduction of public spaces have been identified. To resolve these problems, the implementation of the concept of superblocks is proposed, a model that prioritizes pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport, transforming the way citizens move around. A key aspect of this proposal is the active participation of the community, involving residents from the planning phase through to execution. Collaborative workshops and surveys are suggested to allow neighbors to share their ideas and needs, while the creation of neighborhood committees would enable oversight and adjustments to the plan based on the results of pilot tests. The project concludes that this model would not only alleviate traffic but also revitalize public spaces, improving the residents’ quality of life. By achieving a balance between modernization and the preservation of historical heritage, this proposal emphasizes the importance of flexible planning based on safety, accessibility, and ongoing community participation to achieve truly sustainable urbanism.Ítem Acceso Abierto Anteproyecto de equipamiento deportivo en la cabecera parroquial de Checa(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Vega Cuesta, Jorge Miguel; Quezada Ortega, Jaime Ramiro; 0105766562This thesis project aims to develop a preliminary project for sports equipment that meets the requirements and needs of the head of the parish, Checa, seeking to create a functional and adequate sports space that contributes to the well-being and development of the community by promoting physical and recreational activities. This work is divided into two phases: data collection and proposal. The data collection phase is subdivided into three parts: literature review, data collection, and multi-criteria analysis. Once the intrinsic characteristics were determined, the final phase of the project, the proposal, was carried out, in which it was considered appropriate to design a space that would include a multifunctional court, a sports area, a square, a green area, and a parking area.Ítem Acceso Abierto Reacondicionamiento de un espacio deportivo para la creación de un mercado-plaza multifuncional en San Bartolomé, Azuay(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Morales Silva, Mateo Sebastián; Otavalo Guachichulca, Mateo Sebastián; Contreras Escandón, Christian Hernán; 0150232007; 0105772982This work addresses the lack of adequate commercial infrastructure in San Bartolomé, Azuay, proposing the refurbishment of a sports space to create a multifunctional Market Square. It is justified by the need to promote local economic development, improve the community’s quality of life, and strengthen social cohesion. The general objective is to design a sustainable architectural space that integrates commercial and social functions. The urban context, the needs of the population, and relevant case studies are examined through mixed research that combines quantitative and qualitative analysis. The studied population includes residents and merchants of San Bartolomé. Additionally, interviews were conducted with key stakeholders such as Architect Boris Albornoz, an expert in public space design, and the Planning Director of the GAD of Sígsig, Architect Javier Pesántez, to gain insights on urban design and local context, respectively. As a result, an architectural proposal that combines market areas, public squares, and flexible spaces is presented, utilizing local materials and sustainable design strategies, incorporating the recommendations of the interviewed experts. The project aims to positively affect the local economy and social cohesion, and serve as a model for sustainable urban development in the region.Ítem Acceso Abierto Propuesta de intervención urbana arquitectónica para la Fábrica Pasamanería S.A.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Morocho Suconota, Juan Pablo; Vásquez Ortiz, Kevin Israel; Aguirre Ullauri, María del Cisne; 0107085698; 0106439854The urban expansion in Cuenca (Ecuador) has integrated peripheral facilities that have become immersed in the city. One example is the “Pasamanería S.A.” factory, in the “El Vecino” neighborhood. Its industrial architecture—characterized by sawtooth roofs, large open areas, and disorganized spaces—has generated empty spaces and social problems. The study was based on a bibliographic compilation methodology framed within a socioeconomic, architectural, and historical perspective. At first, it was elaborated by compiling general concepts on industrial architecture and revitalization of urban industrial spaces, followed by an analysis of the socioeconomic impacts resulting from these interventions. In addition, international cases, such as Duah Xi'an in China and Halle Pajol in France, are studied to apply design strategies to the local context of the “Pasamanería S.A.” factory. Altogether, these analyses are supported by a SWOT matrix and a design criteria matrix that provides the foundations for the proposed intervention. Secondly, a historical review of the growth of Cuenca and the “Pasamanería S.A” factory is conducted, and a SWOT analysis of the neighborhood and the factory to identify opportunities and threats. Results from a focus group survey are also incorporated to reflect community perception. The results reveal the importance of creating green spaces, improving urban connectivity, and promoting commercial and recreational use of the industrial site. The final proposal offers a revitalization blueprint that integrates modern design with the original architectural elements, promoting social and economic cohesion within the neighborhood and serving as a replicable model for other deteriorating urban sectors.Ítem Acceso Abierto Anteproyecto de regeneración a través de la imagen urbana del sector del Mercado 25 de Junio del Cantón Gualaceo(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Maurad Castillo, Andreina Salomé; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0106889611The zone where the “25 de Junio Market” of the Gualaceo canton is located has suffered deterioration in the urban image for a long time. It has been affected by factors such as poor street furniture, lack of informative and preventive signals, traffic congestion, and damage to the materiality of sidewalks and streets, among others. At the beginning of the project process, a qualitative methodology was defined based on the components of the urban image. A theoretical framework of reference is created to understand the basic concepts and components of the urban image. Subsequently, an analysis of references about the context is developed; this study will provide project strategies. Once these foundations have been established, data collection and a current analysis of the study area will be conducted, identifying problems and potentialities for the sector. Finally, the conceptualization of regeneration strategies through the components of the urban image will be applied in the place of study. Hence, the urban image problems of the “25 de Junio Market” of the Gualaceo Canton are solved.
