Diseño a nivel de anteproyecto de un equipamiento multifuncional para la Parroquia Rural de Sidcay

Abstract

The project Design at the Preliminary Project Level of a Multifunctional Facility for the Rural Parish of Sidcay aims to improve the quality of life of residents in Sidcay, a rural parish in Cuenca, Ecuador, through the implementation of a multipurpose facility. This project is situated on a 5,100.29 m2 plot. It proposes a two-story building with a terrace, designed to adapt to the natural topography and integrate the privileged surrounding views. The program covers an area of 615.58 m2, creating a mixed-use hub. The ground floor incorporates a community pharmacy and restrooms; the next floor includes commercial premises, a restaurant, and an administrative office for the Sidcay GAD (Autonomous Decentralized Government). The main objective is to concentrate the most recurrent uses for the population, significantly improving the quality of life and reducing travel times. Additionally, the project includes public space that promotes universal accessibility, intergenerational inclusion (bio-healthy and children's playgrounds), social cohesion, and community network for local residents. This proposal is grounded in theoretical concepts of urban facilities and public space. Subsequently, it incorporates an urban diagnosis that considers citizen perception and needs, which, along with precedents and similar cases, guides an objective proposal to the current problem and allows for the optimal urban exploitation of the case study.
