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.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Reactivación de los espacios urbanos: intervención en la Plaza del Herrero con enfoque en actividades culturales y gastronómicas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Loja López, Josué Mateo; Lozano Verdugo, Keyla Nayely; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0150415438; 0105938286This research addresses the underutilization of Plaza del Herrero in Cuenca, a heritage space that, despite its historical and gastronomic richness, primarily unctions as a transit area. The identified problem lies in the lack of urban furniture, accessibility, and cultural programming ―factors that have limited its vitality and disconnected it from the community―. The study is justified by the need to restore its cultural value, promote social cohesion, and boost the local economy through a gastronomic cultural center that articulates heritage, cuisine, and community activities. The expected impact includes a strengthening of the sense of identity and belonging, as well as the generation of a sustainable economic-cultural hub. The main objective is to propose an urban revitalization project that integrates an accessible and inclusive gastronomic cultural center. The research follows a descriptive-projective design with a mixed-method approach, and involved 260 surveys applied to residents, pedestrians, and merchants using probabilistic sampling. The results show that 78% of respondents consider the installation of urban furniture a priority, 65% perceive insecurity due to the deterioration of the space, and 72% demand permanent cultural activities. These findings highlight the urgency of a comprehensive intervention. The expected impact indicators include a 40% increase in user permanence in the square and a 30% increase in foot traffic to local businesses. In conclusion, the proposal not only seeks to recover a physical space but also to consolidate a replicable model of urban revitalization with a cultural and gastronomic focus.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Reubicación estratégica de zonas de tolerancia en la periferia urbana de Cuenca: análisis y propuesta urbana – arquitectónica(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Paredes Tacuri, Oscar Ismael; Contreras Escandón, Christian Hernán; 0106836760This thesis analyzes the urban, social, and regulatory issues arising from the continued existence of tolerance zones within the consolidated urban fabric of the city of Cuenca, with an emphasis on the Cayambe neighborhood. The lack of planning, deterioration of the environment, neighborhood conflicts, and insecurity have created a situation that requires comprehensive intervention from the perspectives of architecture and urban planning. The main objective is to formulate an urban-architectural proposal that allows these areas to be strategically relocated to the urban periphery, guaranteeing dignified, safe, and sanitary conditions for the people involved, under an inclusive, sustainable, and human rights-based approach. The research employs a mixed-method approach that combines documentary analysis, interviews, national and international case studies, and direct field observation, which allowed for the construction of a comprehensive diagnosis of the urban conflict and the definition of technical criteria for the new location. As a result, the creation of a multifunctional urban facility on the northern outskirts of Cuenca, specifically at the second entrance to Nulti, is proposed. This space includes regulated care modules, medical services, legal counseling, community spaces, green areas, and control systems. The proposal complies with current local regulations and constitutes a replicable model for other urban contexts in the country. The study demonstrates that, through proper planning and institutional coordination, it is possible to transform a stigmatized problem into an opportunity for sustainable urban and social development.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto de una casa de acogida para personas en situación de calle en el Barrial Blanco-Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Mosquera Mogrovejo, Paola Nicole; Contreras Escandón, Christian Hernán; 0107142143This research presents a preliminary architectural design for a shelter for homeless people in the Barrial Blanco neighborhood of Cuenca. The study is based on an analysis of social exclusion and the lack of adequate facilities to meet the basic and emotional needs of this vulnerable population. In this sense, the project is justified by its social and urban contribution, as it proposes an inclusive space that promotes integration and community cohesion. The main objective was to design a preliminary project that provides temporary accommodation, medical care, food services, and training areas, through a descriptive and project-based study, supported by a literature review, site analysis, and national and international architectural references. The scope of the study corresponds to the urban and social context of Barrial Blanco. As a result, a functional, sustainable, and inclusive architectural proposal was developed, aimed at improving the quality of life of homeless people and contributing to the urban regeneration of the area.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Propuesta de diseño urbano-arquitectónico de un museo-biblioteca para el cantón Yacuambi: un espacio para la preservación y difusión de la identidad cultural(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Gualan Gualan , Saimy Natalia; Pintado Vanegas, José Luis; Calle Gaón, María Gabriela; 1900790674; 0106645120This paper presents an architectural preliminary design for a museum-library in the canton of Yacuambi, aimed at preserving local cultural identity and promoting access to knowledge. The study identified the lack of adequate cultural facilities to address the educational and social needs of the Shuar and Saraguro communities. The research included territorial, climatic, regulatory, and sociocultural analyses of the environment. To determine the number of respondents, the finite sample size formula was applied, establishing a total of 82 inhabitants surveyed in the PIT: UM-01 using simple random sampling. The results showed that 100% of the respondents expressed interest in having a cultural space that integrates a library and a museum; 70% considered the preservation of local historical memory a priority; and 20% highlighted the importance of including science and technology in its activities. The proposal is based on urban-architectural design principles that prioritize functionality, environmental integration, and spatial flexibility, incorporating a formal language inspired by ancestral geometry and the use of local materials. In addition, prefabricated concrete construction systems were selected to optimize resources and execution time. It is concluded that the project will contribute to strengthening social cohesion, promoting cultural tourism, and improving the quality of life of local inhabitants.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Tenezaca Cuzco, Jennyfer Anabell; Veintimilla León, Emily Anahi; Avila Calle, Marco Benigno; 0302974076; 0302388699Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Análisis técnico, estético e iconográfico del mural con tierra, del Museo de Arte Moderno en Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Sarmiento Eras, Pablo Andrés; Quezada Ortega, Jaime Ramiro; 0105889794This paper analyzes the technique, aesthetics, and iconography of the earthen mural entitled “La Madre Tierra Sana” (Mother Earth Heals) located in the Museum of Modern Art in Cuenca, Ecuador. The research addresses the challenge of understanding how ancestral techniques applied to contemporary muralism can be integrated into the museum setting without losing their symbolic essence or material integrity. The study is justified by the importance of preserving, valuing, and documenting traditional knowledge related to the use of earthen materials as an artistic medium, promoting their relevance in contemporary architecture and public art. This research is relevant for its contribution to heritage conservation, which strengthens cultural identity and encourages the use of sustainable materials in the artistic-architectural field. The main objective is to comprehensively analyze the mural from its technical, aesthetic, and symbolic dimensions. This is a qualitative study, based on a specific case, which has made it possible to identify technical innovations adapted to natural materials, conservation strategies, and an iconographic discourse consistent with the local context.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Diseño e innovación de anclajes en Bambú: un catálogo estructural para viviendas sostenibles en la Cultura Shuar(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Jara Ordóñez, Abel Cayetano; Angumba Aguilar, Pedro Javier; 1401323660The main objective of this study is to design innovative bamboo anchoring systems through a structural catalog adapted to the construction practices of the Shuar culture, aiming to promote environmental sustainability and preserve the cultural heritage of the Kumpas community in Sucúa, Ecuador. The research addresses the problems of deforestation and the lack of economic resources by proposing bamboo as a viable alternative due to its strength, availability, and low environmental impact. A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with seven local builders and four experts in bamboo construction, direct observation, and field data analysis. The results showed that 71.4% of builders use bamboo in their constructions and 100% consider the preservation of traditional techniques a key aspect. Mechanical tests carried out on bamboo showed that artificial drying significantly increases its strength and stiffness, with an average maximum load of 2,650 kgf (artificially drying), surpassing green and naturally dried bamboo. The community and experts validated that the catalog of innovative anchoring systems provides technical solutions that balance tradition and innovation, improving the durability and efficiency of constructions. This work offers a practical and sustainable approach to construction in Amazonian communities.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Anteproyecto del edificio del GAD Parroquial de Ricaurte: un ejemplo de construcción con madera laminada en zonas rurales(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Salazar Zanipatin, Ariel Alejandro; Quesada Molina, Juan Felipe; 0107351462This paper presents the preliminary architectural project for the construction of the Decentralized Autonomous Government (GAD, by its Spanish acronym) of the Parish of Ricaurte, in Cuenca. The project addresses the identified need to provide the parish with a functional, accessible, and representative administrative facility. Its relevance lies in the improvement of local public management, the optimization of citizen services, and the revitalization the urban space through a sustainable building integrated into its surroundings. The proposal incorporates laminated eucalyptus wood as the main construction system, a renewable and low-impact material, combined with concrete walls on the ground floor. This approach generates a replicable technical contribution for other rural areas. The design is a three-story building with bioclimatic criteria, universal accessibility, and a direct integration with Buena Esperanza Park. The research used a descriptive-propositive approach, applying surveys to a non-probabilistic sample of 90 participants. The result is a proposal that is coherent with the social and territorial context, fostering the institutional and community development of the parish.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Neira Freire, Juan José; Avila Astudillo, Pedro Antonio; 0104729157Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Chimborazo Espinoza, Catalina Beatriz; Peralta Viñansaca, Jenny Fabiola; Aguirre Ullauri, María del Cisne; 0302567300; 0150104289Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Garcia Reyes, Melanie Jazmin; Muñoz Logroño, Heidy Marina; Quezada Ortega, Jaime Ramiro; 0706525532; 0705355881Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Bacuilima Quinde, Stalin Mateo; Avila Calle, Marco Benigno; 0107183279Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Cajamarca Sinchi, Danny Steven; Romero Pardo, Katherine Soledad; Avila Calle, Marco Benigno; 0105505846; 0106354723Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Sarmiento Paute, Sixto Joffre; Avila Calle, Marco Benigno; 0105248025Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Luz, sombra y color en espacios religiosos: Anteproyecto arquitectónico de un centro de retiro espiritual para la parroquia Nuestra Señora de Miraflores en Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Carabajo Ponce, Josue Gonzalo; Reyes Rodas, Deysi Katerine; 0150216257This study arises from the need for a Spiritual Retreat Center within the ecclesiastical community of Our Lady of Miraflores, a space to carry out spiritual, social, and cultural activities. The community, divided into zones, shares a space where patron saint festivals, sports tournaments, communal gatherings, and spiritual retreats, among other events, take place. However, this space lacks the necessary infrastructure to adequately meet the needs of the faithful and the entire parish community in general. To address this problem, a comprehensive report that synthesizes previous studies and historical and theoretical background on religious architecture has been written, along with a review of architectural strategies from similar projects. Through an analysis of three architectural references ―the Royal Monastery of Saint Catherine of Siena, the Church of the Light, and the Spiritual House by PLADIS Architects― the methodology used responds to a comprehensive approach that examines these cases from different dimensions, such as contextual, conceptual, formal, technical, and experiential. The aim is to extract significant insights for the design of a spiritual retreat center. Furthermore, Laura Gallardo's methodology was applied for site analysis, including movement and stillness, topography, climate, and urban and social environment. The results obtained demonstrate the need for a religious space that, through architectural design, responds to and integrates with the geographical context. Therefore, the creation of a Spiritual Retreat Center is proposed to enrich the pastoral mission of Miraflores through the architectural intervention.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , La vivienda social como estrategia para mitigar el déficit habitacional en el Centro Histórico de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Quizhpi Alcivar, Juan Fernando; Calle Gaón, María Gabriela; 0107178022This study entitled “Social Housing as a Strategy to Mitigate the Housing Shortage in the Historic Center of Cuenca” analyzes and offers solutions to the housing deficit and spatial segregation issues in this heritage area. The research addresses critical aspects such as the lack of access to basic services and the poor conditions of existing housing. The architectural proposal aims to densify the Historic Center through a comprehensive approach, taking advantage of existing vacant spaces without compromising its historical heritage. The methodology combines normative analysis, urban diagnosis, and qualitative techniques, such as surveys, using a mixed research design. The results show the need to implement housing solutions that promote social cohesion, equitable access to services, and the creation of functional community areas. The architectural proposal includes flexible housing, common areas, and designs that respect the heritage identity, contributing to the revitalization of degraded areas and improving the residents’ quality of life. This project is proposed as a replicable model to address similar issues in other heritage cities.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Formas modulares para la Plaza Cívica, Cuenca, Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Guamán Tacuri, Josseline Estefania; Quezada Ortega, Jaime Ramiro; 0150316628This research addresses the problem of informal commerce in Cuenca's Civic Plaza, an area of great historical and commercial value. It proposes the design of multifunctional modules that encourage the organization of temporary commerce without affecting the plaza's economic and social dynamics. The importance of this study lies in the need to balance local economic development, allowing for better distribution of commerce and flexible use of public space. Its purpose focuses on providing architectural solutions that improve pedestrian mobility and strengthen the plaza's cultural identity. The project's impact is economic, by boosting commerce, strengthening the site's identity, and optimizing the experience of merchants and visitors. The qualitative and quantitative methodology is based on field observation and theoretical analysis. The sample includes merchants, passersby, and authorities, selected through purposive sampling. The results demonstrate the viability of an adaptable modular system, which improves organization without eliminating the site's commercial essence, promoting a replicable model in other urban heritage spaces.
