Centro educativo y cultural complementario a instituciones educativas de la Parroquia Sucre

Abstract

The traditional educational system in Ecuador has been transforming over time, maintaining great debates of operation and results concerning past structures, which means a particular challenge due to the lack of infrastructure where various activities can be developed, generating inequality of opportunities compared to other schools with favorable socioeconomic levels. The Educational and Cultural Development Center proposed within this project aims to find a model solution to this problem, elaborating a plan that starts from the study of the needs and resources of the area to determine a viable, functional, and profitable project for children and adolescents who study in educational institutions near the planning lot. This planning starts from a macro analysis to an empirical one, providing valuable information for the proposal at an architectural and urban level, considering the educational, cultural, and economic impact on the sector and for the users of this architectural concept. The project employs urban resources in the area, such as the pre-existing route of the bicycle path, trying to encourage active mobility and promoting bicycle riding and safe walking through alternative transportation routes.
