"REVITALIZACIÓN INTRAURBANA MEDIANTE EL DISEÑO DE BLOQUES MULTI FAMILIARES CON ÁREA COMERCIAL PARA LA ZONA PERICENTRAL DE GUAYAQUIL

Abstract

The objective of the study is due to horizontal growth towards the peripheries, depressing the central areas and losing in turn the surplus value of the downtown areas of Guayaquil. The construction of large urbanizations and settlements have caused problems of insecurity, lack of green areas and agglomeration. This leads to think about the revitalization, economic, physical and social improvement of an existing urban central area, unlike the new projects in the periphery, taking advantage of the underutilization of infrastructures. As a possible solution applicable to the proposed problem, it is proposed to design blocks of social housing with commercial area, recovering the surplus value of the Letamendi sector and at the same time serving as a new model of social housing in downtown Guayaquil. The architectural distribution of multifamily blocks will have basic conditions of habitability and adaptability for future user growth needs. The current Mercado Gómez Rendón took it into consideration as an existing commercial area and economic engine of the sector, proposing a new architectural design to improve its functionality and healthiness that today affects its consumers and sellers.
