Propuesta de diseño interior interactiva de la Biblioteca Víctor Manuel Albornoz del Museo Pumapungo

Abstract

The “Víctor Manuel Albornoz” Library is part of the “Pumapungo” Museum in the city of Cuenca. This institution belongs to the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. It is considered an important component in storing and preserving the historical, intellectual, and cultural heritage of the city and the Ecuadorian region. Its primary function was to become an educational space for the museum's visitors; however, its evolution has led it to be considered a cultural research center. Considered a site of relevance, a spatial analysis has shown that the institution is in an inappropriate functional and aesthetic state and is not adapted to meet the population's needs. Therefore, an interactive interior redesign has been proposed to provide comfort for library visitors and administrative staff, incorporating a technological approach linked to the digital era. The methodological process used was based on Bruce Archer's model, considering research aspects and international and local references to generate a new proposal using ergonomic and comfortable elements, applying an eclectic style based on Wabi Sabi and contemporary trends, tailored to the institution's context and the museum.
