Vivienda Colectiva de mediana densidad en el cantón Francisco de Orellana

Abstract

The Medium-Density Collective Housing Project encompasses a study that ranges from analyzing the population growth of the Francisco de Orellana Canton and delves into the problems that this phenomenon may present in the urban decisions of the canton. Through the project, we seek to give viability to the densification of a central area of the city, because currently El Coca grows towards the ecological limits, leading to a disorder in the management of the city, both in the availability of natural resources such as land and in the economic resources of the municipality to provide infrastructure for its operation. The urban studies carried out help to understand the current situation or state of the sector. The project seeks to take advantage of the location and presents a proposal that can also generate social cohesion, economic reactivation through promoting sites for commerce, and a relationship with the natural environment of the city. An analysis of the materials to be used and the strategies that can counteract climatic problems of the canton is carried out, such as light control management, wind utilization, and generation of green areas that also influence the coercive relationships of society. At an aesthetic level, it seeks to promote the use of wood, the creation of open spaces that serve as recreation. Generated diagnoses in construction issues conclude the use of reinforced concrete due to its low maintenance and high resistance in humid sites like the El Coca canton and also promotes the use of lightweight technologies such as drywall masonry, in which its installation is designed in detail and its potentialities for tropical environments are observed. Likewise, the losses of flexible foam help to generate cooler interiors due to its thermal and acoustic insulating function.
