Diseño arquitectónico de un centro cultural para la ciudad de Catacocha, cantón Paltas, provincia de Loja

Abstract:

Cultural infrastructure is a space where the identity interpretations of an ancient population are kept and valued, represented and kept alive along with the collective memory of these ancestral cultures, for future generations. To achieve the design of the Cultural Centre in the city of Catacocha, the author did an investigation from multiple points of view. First of all, an approach to the Palta ancient culture, its history, traditions, population and cultural heritage. On the other hand, an architectonic and urbanistic analysis was carried out, where the urban surroundings were taken into account: the city grid, the structure and style of the façades of the existing buildings (many of which are included in the National architectural patrimony registry of Ecuador). All of this resulted in creating a composition defined by the strong influence of the style of the houses in Catacocha. Among all these, the author considered the important role played by modern architectural ideas and theories as essential tools for urban and social development, that’s why energy efficiency (photovoltaic solar panels) and correct usage of natural resources (sunrays, rain water, natural wind flows) principles are implemented, combined with vertical gardens and domotic appliances (climatization and irrigation).
