Centro de Acogida para Jubilados en la ciudad de Machala.

Abstract

This document compiles the entire architectural process on the proposal for the Retirement Reception Center in the city of Machala, Ecuador. The proposal seeks to meet a need for recreational spaces for the elderly, residents of that city, which until now occupy the facilities of the former IESS hospital, for lack of adequate spaces for the development of cultural and recreational activities, which would help them to stay active and strengthen the sense of belonging in the community, improving their physical and mental well-being. According to data provided by the Association of Pensioners De Machala there are 5,341 retired persons, of whom 400 are part of the National Active Aging Program, which makes even more urgent the implementation of spaces intended for leisure and recreation of adults.
