Vivienda rural sostenible bajo el concepto de una comunidad productiva en la comuna Daular.

Abstract

The present project aims to design sustainable rural housing linked to a productive community in the commune of Daular, located in the west of the canton of Guayaquil. The proposal emerges as an alternative to the disorderly urban growth and the processes of territorial exclusion that affect rural areas in the coastal region of Ecuador. In this scenario, the construction of the new airport of Guayaquil has accelerated the territorial transformation, increasing the real estate pressure and evidencing the lack of a planned territorial organization. The approach considers the need to develop a housing model that articulates environmental sustainability, social inclusion and economic productivity. For this, the traditional organization of the commune and its cultural practices are taken into account as essential elements for the cohesion and resilience of the territory. Housing is conceived as part of a collective system that integrates agricultural production, community collaboration and planning consistent with the natural environment. The design includes a sustainable housing unit adapted to the climatic, social and productive conditions of the commune. Each house will include its own greenhouse, which will contribute to food security and household self-sufficiency, while strengthening the relationship between housing, community, and territory in a context characterized by rapid transformation and increasing urban pressure.
