Vivienda de interés público para la Parroquia de Javier Loyola - Azogues

Abstract

The 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.
