Sistema modular de vivienda en el centro de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The following document presents the architectural proposal for a modular housing system in the center of Guayaquil. This project was developed from the study of the "Consultoría Técnica para la intervención de la calle Panamá con el fin de implementar proyectos turísticos culturales", where the pedestrianization of the “calle Panamá” is proposed with the aim of creating a walkable public space that is going to have different types of activities that vary from tourist, cultural and artistic. Due to this, an 8-story high building is developed that houses different activities from commercial, social and recreation, which are organized around an interior courtyard that connects the project with its neighboring streets such as: Calle Panamá, Avenida Simón Bolívar and the calle Tomás Martínez. The project has 55 housing departments for students, young couples, seniors and tourists, which were determined based on a characterization of the sector user. All the apartments have a modular system that allows changes based on the needs of the inhabitants and responds to their different dynamics. Equally important, the building makes use of elements of traditional architecture such as the arcades, the gallery and the hall that encourage the sense of identity of the users. Three areas were determined into which the project was divided: production area, intimate or rest area and service area. All these spaces from the arcade to the play area will allow cohesion, integration and interaction of the residents, generating a sense of community.
