Anteproyecto Arquitectónico de un Centro de Salud Tipo C para la ciudad de Azogues, aplicando el método del diagrama como estrategia proyectual.

Abstract

Public health in Azogues has been an issue of constant concern due to the growing demand for medical services and the lack of adequate infrastructure to meet these needs. Given this situation, developing a preliminary project that responds to the community's specific needs and meets quality standards in medical care was proposed, using the diagram as a critical project tool. The methodology employed included the development of theoretical reflections with a bibliographic review, case analysis, exhaustive studies on the conditions of the field, direct observation of the situations and weaknesses of local medical care through visits, observation sheets, interviews, and the analysis of the standards. Thus, the information obtained was synthesized in diagrams in order to able precise and efficient visualization of the spatial distribution of the functional and formal areas of the Health Center. The result was a comprehensive incorporating best practices in architectural and functional design, potentially improving access and quality of health services in Azogues. This preliminary project is expected to serve as a basis for future design and construction stages, contributing to the local population's welfare and strengthening the region's public health system.
