Patologías, diagnóstico y propuesta de rehabilitación integral del área de obraje de la ex fábrica San Pedro de Otavalo

Abstract

The cultural heritage built today is of utmost importance for the social, economic and cultural development of a nation; his knowledge, diffusion and generation of the exact form of expression of humanity. The preservation of Heritage becomes paramount in society, so that this capital of enormous historical value will not be forgotten and the mechanisms and processes that entail a revaluation of the built heritage through its rehabilitation and conservation are considered. The old textile factory San Pedro de Otavalo today known as the Otavalango Museum has enormous historical value since its construction in 1821, period in which it was one of the most important works for the economic development of the country; Historical architecture is preserved in sectors such as: Obraje, La Casa Cruz, La Casa del Patron, and others. The present work is focused on the work area where slaves worked in conditions similar to slavery and where their facilities keep an architecture of singular expressions with a simple but expressive decoration. The existing problem is established through visual inspections, information collection, interviews and a photographic archive in detail, after the elaboration of files where the agents causing the injuries are detailed, as well as their intervention processes as appropriate; A diagnosis is established that brings us a plaque of a comprehensive restoration proposal. The structural analysis closely linked to the architectural program aims to show new approaches towards the recovery of the built heritage, rehabilitation methods have been proposed that serve as reinforcement for the structure, always harmonizing and projecting the structural influence on the architectural program. Once the structural design is sustained, it establishes a way to take advantage of the good, where the creation of an Interactive Obraje Museum is proposed, where the processes, customs and equipment exclusive to this stage of history are exposed through a timeline. In the end, a futuristic prospective thought is made in 2120 where the harmony between the Interactive Obraje Museum and other important cultural landmarks in the sector such as the Plaza de Ponchos, Tola de San Juan among the most important are visualized.
