PROPUESTA DE ANTEPROYECTO DE UNA UNIDAD EDUCATIVA DE NIVEL INICIAL EN AZOGUES UTILIZANDO UN REFERENTE COMO ESTRATEGIA DE DISEÑO

Abstract

The city of Azogues faces a deficit in early childhood education infrastructure coverage, specifically in circuit 03D01C4, as established by the Ministry of Education. This deficit affects children aged 3 to 5, limiting their psychosocial and intellectual development. Therefore, the need to reduce inequalities and improve opportunities for child development by designing educational spaces is highly relevant in today's Ecuador.

This study aims to propose a preliminary architectural project for Azogues's early childhood education center using a reference as a design strategy. Diagrams will extract architectural concepts to adapt the proposal to educational conditions.

The methodology includes three main points: a literature review on educational spaces and childhood, a site analysis to understand local conditions, and a review of references to select the most appropriate one, incorporating applicable design concepts into the proposal.

As a result, a proposal is obtained that responds to educational needs, is adapted to the site, and is linked to the community.
