Propuesta arquitectónica de un centro integral para el desarrollo del emprendimiento e innovación situado en la parroquia Pedro Carbo en la ciudad de Guayaqui

Abstract

This research paper focuses on the current problems faced by the people of Guayaquil regarding the lack of jobs. This socioeconomic aspect has been increasing in the last decades, limiting the possibility of acquiring a financial support for many young people. In addition, those who choose to start their own businesses are limited by the lack of knowledge and the scarcity of physical trade channels where they can train and perform the necessary activities. For this reason, for a full understanding of the variables to be considered, a study is carried out by virtue of the analysis of conceptual theories on coworking spaces and their benefits. Likewise, other theories are also raised in terms of accessibility issues for all people and preserving the historical footprint of the location through the use of sustainable methods. For this reason, the architectural proposal focuses on the historic center of the city of Guayaquil, specifically in the Pedro Carbo parish due to its intrinsic connection with the commercial area and the history it preserves. In addition, by means of qualitative and quantitative tools, the current situation and perspectives of the people about the research topic are identified, which determines the conceptualization of the project, as well as the design parameters to be followed. The architectural proposal aims to offer shared and private work spaces to promote the creation of new ventures or the growth of established companies.
