Vivienda Agroproductiva en la parroquia de Zámbiza

Abstract

The agro-productive housing project in the rural area of Zámbiza parish is developed through the integration of housing and agricultural production spaces for community life. The project is conceived through contextualized architecture, which understands the environment in which it is located and the needs of both the environment and the user who inhabits it. It proposes housing units that are conscious of the natural environment and spaces that respond to the needs of rural farming families. The agro-productive housing project is conceived not only as a spatial solution for housing, but also as a space that strengthens the activities of rural families, offers dignified living spaces, and preserves the landscapes and rural ways of life of the area. The agro-productive housing project is located in the rural area of the Zámbiza parish on the streets of Quito and México. The architectural project also recognizes the needs of the user and manages two scales: a domestic scale (housing) and a collective scale, proposing spaces for the development of community life through agricultural activities, such as production spaces, post-production spaces, and product marketing spaces. Similarly, the project understands the immediate context and generates different types of permeable enclosures that connect or generate privacy depending on the project's location.
