Abstract

The following work is an architectural project which was requested by the Catholic University Santiago de Guayaquil for the development of a Language Center that meets the training of students and language skills, will be located in the Canton Samborondón. The project was based on an architectural program delivered which indicates: the users are 2000. It will consist of 40 language classrooms, 20 laboratories, 9 general study classrooms, 7 study classrooms included in the library distribution, a library, a coffee center, administrative area, service areas, and public or recreational spaces. The design is inspired by the volatility of languages trying to capture the interaction and fragmentation between them, from here two rectangular prisms connected by bridges are generated creating high-altitude circulation, privileging visuals to these common spaces. The distribution is strategically designed maintaining a central square, applying the Fibonacci succession for the zoning of spaces, and locating the most important areas such as: cafeteria and administration at extremes, intending to generate a flow of travel throughout the building, and other strategies,they result in this project.
