Ítem Acceso Abierto Vivienda de interés público para la Parroquia de Javier Loyola - Azogues(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) López Campoverde, Gerardo Nicolás; Contreras Escandón, Christian Hernán; 0106070246The research proposes a public interest housing program (VIP by its Spanish acronym), for the “Javier Loyola” Parish in Azogues, aimed at reducing the housing deficit through an economical, accessible, and flexible design. The study addresses the lack of adequate housing due to overcrowding, insufficient basic facilities, and population growth—factors that current programs need to comprehensively cover. Therefore, an affordable architectural project for low-income families is developed, combining efficient urban design with flexibility criteria and accessible policies to facilitate its acquisition. The research is approached through bibliographic analysis and evaluation of urban, social, and economic conditions, followed by a proposal adapted to future users' needs, supported by established participatory design methodologies and expert judgment. The results highlight the viability of a “VIP” model that optimizes functionality, accessibility, and adaptability, providing a sustainable and adequate housing solution for the “Javier Loyola” community and contributing to improving the quality of life of its inhabitants.Ítem Acceso Abierto Anteproyecto de centro de tratamiento de adicciones aplicando criterios de emplazamiento, psicología del color y percepción de materiales en la Parroquia El Valle, Cuenca – Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Chango Pillo, Wilo Javier; Rodas Romero, Edison Favian; Reyes Rodas, Deisy Katerine; 1723433833; 0105138440The project's primary aims to design an addiction treatment center in the “El Valle” parish in Cuenca between 2023 - 2024. In order to propose therapeutic spaces aimed at the integral improvement of patients, given that the proposal is based on a literature review that culminates in an architectural preliminary project which approach is holistic, and covers both the medical aspects, and the psychological and social-emotional needs of people with alcoholism and drug problems. In this sense, the design prioritizes fluid circulations and safe accesses guaranteeing functionality and security in all areas. Additionally, compliance with current regulations in Ecuador is also ensured since reference architectural cases have been analyzed, and surveys were conducted with directors of rehabilitation centers in Cuenca - Ecuador, who identified common deficiencies in current facilities. Thus, it enabled the development of a more efficient environment that promotes coexistence and facilitates patients' physical, mental, and emotional recovery. Consequently, it is necessary to create an environment that favors wellness, calm, and introspection, by applying principles of color psychology to induce positive moods and selecting materials that work effectively in the built environment to improve perceptions of safety, warmth, and comfort. Green areas have also been integrated to beautify the environment and contribute to emotional well-being by promoting the recovery of patients.Ítem Acceso Abierto Anteproyecto de vivienda multifamiliar aplicando estrategias bioclimáticas para disminuir el consumo energético de iluminación artificial, en la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Morales Jara, Andy Paúl; Peñaranda Peñaranda , Elvis Alexander; Torres Quezada, Jefferson Eloy; 0105810212; 0150765782This research focuses on energy efficiency and optimization of natural lighting in multifamily buildings, applying bioclimatic strategies to reduce the energy consumption of artificial lighting. Given the growing concern about the environmental and economic impact of energy consumption, it is necessary to evaluate the influence of modifications to openings and the building context on natural lighting. The importance of this research lies in its potential to contribute to sustainability and energy efficiency, offering an innovative approach to bioclimatic design that can be replicated in other regions. It benefits the construction industry and residents by reducing energy costs and improving comfort. The general objective is to analyze the influence of modifications to openings and the environment on natural lighting. A descriptive and simulated study is used with a universe of multifamily buildings in Cuenca, evaluating simulations of different scenarios. The results reveal that energy efficiency is improved with the proposed modifications, optimizing natural lighting, reducing the need for artificial lighting, and contributing to sustainability standards.Ítem Acceso Abierto Anteproyecto de diseño para la Estación de Ferrocarriles de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Toral Sarmiento, David Fernando; Jara Alvear, Joanna Priscila; 0105083430The Cuenca Railway Station has suffered damage over time due to prolonged deterioration, abandonment, and disuse by the State for many years. 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. Based on the data obtained, an urban-architectural intervention that seeks to recover public space and enhance the urban image is proposed to contribute to the local economy and promote citizen integration. The proposal also aims to foster local development and activate the area, positively impacting the economic, social, and cultural spheres.Ítem Acceso Abierto Diseño de un edificio multifamiliar eficiente energéticamente mediante la implementación de paneles solares(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Andrade Tenesaca, Cristian Geovanny; Ulloa Aguilar, Kevin Steven; Quizhpe Campoverde, José David; 0302687686; 0106000318This research focuses on the design of an energy-efficient multifamily building through the implementation of solar panels in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. The study addresses the critical issue of high energy consumption in the residential sector, which has economic implications and contributes to the increase of greenhouse gas emissions. By integrating renewable energy sources, the project promotes urban sustainability while enhancing energy efficiency in the building design. The proposed architectural model is not only aimed at reducing energy consumption but also serves as a replicable solution for other urban areas facing similar environmental and economic challenges. The research employs a quantitative approach, analyzing a representative sample of buildings and incorporating bioclimatic design principles to optimize natural resources. This approach demonstrated a significant reduction in energy consumption and an improvement in residents' comfort. Furthermore, the study highlights the potential of this energy-efficient model to play a key role in shaping sustainable urban development, offering practical solutions for future architectural projects in other regions.Ítem Acceso Abierto Diseño de un jardín terapéutico y regeneración de un tramo de la vía principal en la Parroquia Zhidmad - Gualaceo(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Arias Segovia, José Sebastián; Pérez Espinoza, Yahara Fernanda; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0105826739; 1719361147The design of the therapeutic garden in the Zhidmad parish of the Gualaceo Canton intends to revitalize a public space currently without significant purpose. The initiative includes regenerating the main road, integrating it harmoniously with the garden, and connecting it with the nearby cemetery. A thorough investigation of the environment will be conducted to adapt the design to the community's needs, ensuring its inclusiveness for all ages. The preliminary project will focus on therapeutic elements and local and sustainable materials. The garden will have areas for recreational, social, and mental activities to improve emotional and physical wellness. Surrounded by medicinal plants and native flora, it will offer spaces for inhabitants to interact and enjoy a natural and relaxing environment. This project will improve the physical environment and promote social cohesion and a healthy lifestyle, strengthening the sense of community and connection with nature in Zhidmad.Ítem Acceso Abierto Concepción del espacio interior/exterior en la vivienda en base a la filosofía de Peter Sloterdijk(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Armijos Cedeño, Camila Verónica; Chacón Barrera , Pablo Sebastián; Calle Gaón, María Gabriela; 0706488467; 010378671; García CalleThis thesis focuses on applying Peter Sloterdijk's philosophical concepts to architectural design, specifically on the relationship between home indoor and outdoor spaces. 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.Ítem Acceso Abierto Lo informal: propuesta de un circuito de promoción artesanal para la Parroquia Turi a partir del diseño urbano – arquitectónico(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Yunga Chicaiza, Pablo Vinicio; Yunga Quezada, Marco Adrian; Contreras Escandón, Christian Hernán; 0106641558; 0106019797The informal trade in the Turi parish has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by the area's tourism potential, the low employment demand, and the need for economic survival. This phenomenon not only negatively impacts the local economy but also deteriorates the urban environment, generating pedestrian congestion and affecting the quality of public space. This thesis is justified by the need to regulate informal trade to improve the urban image and strengthen tourism and formal commerce. It is proposed that a space for micro-entrepreneurs be designed, which could positively impact the local economy and the quality of life for residents. To achieve this, a promotional artisan circuit is proposed to relocate informal trade, connecting the central square with a parking area for the Turi Parish Center. Finally, it is suggested that the organization of public space be improved and the working conditions of informal traders enhanced, thereby contributing to urban revitalization and the formalization of commerce, benefiting both the economy and the social and urban environment.Ítem Acceso Abierto Renovando espacios urbanos: propuesta de revitalización para el estacionamiento de la Alcaldía de Cuenca(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Mogrovejo Campoverde, Santiago Xavier; Quesada Molina, Juan Felipe; 0105924658; Anthony AlxanderThe research addresses the revitalization of historic public spaces, highlighting their cultural and social importance. Due to the saturation of the historic center and the difficulty to find vacant land, it is proposed to study the rehabilitation of the parking lot of the old “Banco del Azuay” building in Cuenca. This intervention seeks to preserve the architectural heritage and improve the use of urban space. The methodology will be descriptive, including case studies. In addition, a technical evaluation of the intervention strategies applied in historical contexts will be conducted. The revitalization of these spaces not only enriches the authenticity of historical buildings but also offers functional and modern environments for the city. The expected results include improved social cohesion by generating spaces for interaction and economic benefits derived from increased commercial and tourist activity. The study is justified by the need to preserve Cuenca’s cultural and architectural legacy and its positive impact on citizens' quality of life. The general objective is to analyze effective urban intervention strategies in historic centers and obtain tools to apply them appropriately in similar contexts. The research will focus on the Cuenca City Hall parking lot, and the results will provide valuable knowledge for future revitalization projects that will benefit the community socially and economically.Ítem Acceso Abierto Patios del Centro Histórico de Cuenca, propuesta de transformación morfológica(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Bueno Matute, Carlos Omar; Bravo Valladares, Kevin Ismael; Espinoza Iñiguez, Enma Alexandra; 0302659958; 0107295792The deterioration and abandonment of public space is a recurring phenomenon in cities worldwide, affecting urban image and altering social dynamics. This research proposes urban-architectural strategies to rehabilitate an urban void in the block located between the "Daniel Córdova Toral" Municipal Library and the Decentralized Autonomous Government (GAD by its Spanish acronym) of the Cuenca Canton, in Cuenca, Ecuador. The preliminary project focuses on reversing the abandonment and deterioration of the space, promoting social inclusion, strengthening the bond between residents and their environment, and fostering coexistence. Theoretically, an urban diagnosis was made based on four dimensions, in addition to analyzing four analogous projects, both nationally and internationally, that guide the development of the project. The proposal includes a small square as a meeting point, surrounded by buildings that connect the area, and a modular system that organizes the space and links it with recreational, educational, and institutional areas. The study concludes that appropriate intervention in urban voids can transform these spaces into functional and cohesive places, generating new centralities and promoting a more compact and sustainable urban model.Ítem Acceso Abierto Anteproyecto de regeneración urbana orientado a mejorar las zonas deterioradas de los puentes sobre el margen del Río Tomebamba(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Pesántez Román, Paúl Adrián; Pintado Farfán, Julio César; 0106425929The bridges over the Tomebamba River in Cuenca, Ecuador, are elements of great cultural and historical relevance, as they connect the historic center with the urbanized areas of the city. However, they currently face significant challenges, such as structural deterioration, insecurity, and the wear and tear of their urban image, problems that have been exacerbated by the lack of interventions focused on improving landscaping, promoting tourism, and revitalizing the local economy. In response to this situation, a regeneration proposal founded on tactical urbanism is being proposed, which aims to intervene at critical points through a thorough diagnosis and the development of an optimized landscaping design centered on people. The intervention will cover six key bridges: Centenario, Juana de Oro, Mariano Moreno, Todos Santos, El Vergel, and the one on Paseo de los Cañaris Ave. Elements such as signages, modern urban furniture, artistic interventions, and tactile paving will be incorporated to promote more inclusive circulation. The adopted methodology has a structure of three phases: first, an exhaustive literature review; second, a detailed diagnosis of both the physical and social aspects of the bridges; and third, the topographical survey and 3D modeling. The expected results will be evaluated based on their ability to enhance social cohesion, increase safety, and transform the urban aesthetic, thus contributing to the well-being of the inhabitants of Cuenca and integrating the bridges more harmoniously into the social and urban fabric of the city.Ítem Acceso Abierto Elaboración de un prototipo de panel prefabricado de hormigón, como elemento alternativo para el recubrimiento de las fachadas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Quizhpi Farez, Danny Patricio; Borja Pozo, Rafael Enrique; 0107322273In recentdecades, urbanspacesthat are usedbytheelderly are scarce as tothecurrentcenters, showinglarge gaps in functionality and thatbeingpartof a vulnerable group arenot viable solutions.

Enfocado en los polígonos de intervención PIT O-1 y PIT O-20(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Chaca Maxi, Paúl Esteban; León Andrade, Mónica Piedad; 0106391733In Cuenca, the deterioration of many sidewalks or, in some cases, their non-existence is evident, in addition to the predominance of vehicular traffic over public spaces. When pedestrians find none or too small sidewalks, this situation frequently forces them to go down the road to walk, which generates notable discomfort and negatively affects the quality of the urban environment. The present study is based on a literature review of urban morphology, pedestrian mobility, and public space to identify variables that allow analyzing and quantifying walkability in two specific sectors of the city selected for this analysis. Once these variables have been identified, data will be collected in the field, which will allow a comparative analysis. This analysis will evaluate the extent to which pedestrian mobility has been integrated as an essential component in urban planning and construction processes. As a final result, a preliminary project will be developed focused on the polygon that presents the most unfavorable conditions. This preliminary project will be based on the needs detected in the said road, using the selected variables and following urban design criteria recognized by prestigious architects. The proposal will significantly improve walkability and public space use, contributing to a more inclusive urban environment.
