Abstract

Through an agreement between the Housing Laboratory of Social Interest Guayaquil (Lab VIS Gye) and the Municipal Public Housing Company (EPMV) ECOSISTEMA HABITAR arises, an alternative proposal of architectural design of houses of social interest unifamiliares and multifamily in Guayaquil. Its main objective is to generate a vision through a material, structural, functional and climatic reconfguration of social housing that aims at an improvement in terms of sustainability, in its production process and habitability. With a radical concept of grouping services to maximize useful space within the home and be able to incorporate productive areas as part of a system that grows and transforms in its different scales, from the domestic to the community and after the city. Strategies are used such as the so-called "plug-in" that are added elements such as balconies and terraces that respond to the program and provide new functionalities to the home. Structural prefabrication and the use of local reproductive material that encourages microeconomics and serves as an axis of productive growth in the city. The service strip takes on a functional role by containing the vertical circulation core, the wet areas such as full bathrooms on both floors, a linear kitchen and services such as laundry, pantries and other storage spaces. In the urban scale it is proposed to generate greater hierarchy of pedestrian routes in the type grouping through pedestrian meeting nodes that encourage active, healthy and sustainable transport within the community.
