Memoria: proyecto de ampliación y readecuación de la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Cuenca edificio de Postgrado

Abstract

The new circumstances of the institutional academic politic, the overcoming of the lack of provision of number of classrooms to meet the current needs, streamline assignments and schedules, and the larger envelope of cubicles to research purposes and works related to teaching for a greater number of professors, encourage the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Cuenca in 2007 to propose the extension of its infrastructure. This article has been prepared based on the technical report submitted and resulting winner in the contest. It shows the designer’s intention and the considerations that prompted both for the construction of the new building, as some of the retrofits in existing buildings which were integrated to the proposal.
