Anteproyecto de Centro de Salud tipo C con uso mixto del sector Bellavista - Azogues

Abstract

This work establishes several constructive and functional aspects for the proposal of a preliminary design of a Type C Health Center in Azogues - Bellavista. Currently, the safety index has been applied in the leading medical facility of Azogues, “Hospital Homero Castanier Crespo,” revealing infrastructure and capacity issues in meeting urban needs, which is critical for local, architectural, economic, and social development; thus, the generation of an architectural solution to decentralize equipment use is proposed. Therefore, the main objective is to design a mixed-use health center in Bellavista in the Azogues canton, addressing the deficiency of facilities in the sector. This research is descriptive, focusing on reference analysis, theoretical bases, on-site data collection, intervention area assessment, architectural documentation, and functional and constructive aspects consideration. It is also proposed to know the primary needs of the area’s inhabitants to define their activities and needs. Finally, a preliminary project is proposed using techniques and strategies obtained from reference analysis to define the spaces and functions, generating a guide for learning and continuous improvement of uses, typologies, and urban architectural regulations for health facilities.
