Estudio y análisis arquitectónico de establecimientos educativos fiscales en la ciudad de Cuenca y propuesta de readecuación en un caso específico de estudio

Abstract

Our country is undergoing several changes in education, and one of them refers to the educational establishments’ architectural infrastructure.

Therefore, the Ministry of Education has developed a regulatory body of Types and New Standards for Educational Infrastructure, applied to new construction projects as well as projects for upgrading and readjustment of existing establishments.

The present graduation thesis is a study of two emblematic institutions of our city, and through analysis of the regulatory body of the Ministry of Education, develop a proposal to refurbish the existing infrastructure in one of the establishments surveyed.

The chosen establishment for the proposed refurbish has been the Antonio Avila Maldonado High School, in which has been performed an architectural draft that respects the environment where it is located and held the existing infrastructure that through the years have given its identity.

In other words, infrastructure that already owns the school has been largely occupied, as well as respected the areas needed to make functional spaces; and those spaces with gaps or that currently do not exist, adjust them to meet the new standards of educational infrastructure and incorporate them to the establishment, keeping in mind all the time throughout the performance to the students, administrative and service staff and the community that will benefit from this project.
