Diseño arquitectónico de una vivienda rural sostenible bajo el concepto de una ecoaldea en Posorja, Ecuador.

Abstract

The thesis work focuses on the design of a sustainable rural housing with the concept of ecovillage located in Posorja, Ecuador, through an analysis of the reconfiguration of the way of living in the rurality. The project proposes a flexible architecture, which can be configured and reconfigured over time, and which allows housing to grow sustainably according to the changing needs of users. Inspired by the eco-village principles, the proposal integrates renewable energy solutions that promote a balanced relationship between natural resources and human needs. The design takes shape as an exercise of spatial and material reconfiguration of housing, where each module is conceived as a flexible and transformable space. In addition, it adapts both to the functional requirements of users and to the specific characteristics of the environment, allowing its expansion and customization according to needs. As in the case of low-cost housing, where land self-management and the re-use of materials are essential, this project promotes an architecture in constant evolution, using local materials and affordable construction solutions that minimize environmental impact. Similarly, the eco-village project envisages the creation of a self-sufficient community, organized in clusters that respond to different scales and uses: generic, agricultural, landscape and urban. This model not only redefines the way of living, but also integrates natural and productive elements into daily life, ensuring a resilient and sustainable environment in the long term.
