Propuesta de rediseño urbano-arquitectónico para la Terminal Terrestre del Cantón Sígsig

Abstract

This project researches the readaptation of the Sigsig Land Terminal, addressing several identified problems, related to the infrastructure, commercial space allocation, drainage, parking, and street signs. In order to achieve this, a proposal was developed to design a preliminary urban-architectural project to improve the functional and safety aspects of the area, considering the users' needs. The methodology combines a literature review, regulatory analysis, on-site diagnosis, participant observation, key informant interviews, and design thinking. Expert and end-user participation was sought to enhance the design process. The project focuses on the Sigsig Land Terminal, emphasizing redevelopment, reprogramming, and urban planning. This intervention is expected to transform the terminal into a modern, functional, and secure space for its users and the community.
