Propuesta de anteproyecto arquitectónico de un subcentro de salud tipo B mediante sistemas constructivos de caña guadúa

Abstract

This study presents the design of a preliminary architectural proposal for a primary healthcare center in the parish of Los Encuentros, Yantzaza canton, Zamora Chinchipe province, Ecuador. The proposal is based on an analysis of the area's territorial, urban, and functional conditions, as well as the deficiencies of the existing healthcare facilities. It addresses the need for adequate spaces for primary healthcare services, considering functionality, accessibility, and adaptation to the local climatic conditions. The project is justified by the importance of strengthening rural healthcare infrastructure and contributing to the well-being of the population through efficient architectural design. The study is descriptive and applied in nature, focusing on the development of the preliminary architectural proposal through urban and architectural analyses, a literature review, the examination of architectural precedents, and on-site data collection. The beneficiary population comprises the inhabitants of Los Encuentros parish and surrounding areas. As a result, a preliminary architectural proposal is developed that incorporates bioclimatic design principles, functional organization, and materials suited to the local environment, with the aim of improving spatial quality and access to healthcare services.
