Propuesta de diseño interior para un hostel de mochileros con materiales ecológicos dentro del espacio de una vieja bodega industrial en el sector de Totoracocha, Cuenca

Abstract

The present project is about making an aesthetic and functional proposal for a hostel in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador in the sector of Totoracocha, the design will be developed within an old industrial warehouse, this theme was selected because the few hostels that They exist within the city of Cuenca do not have a suitable comfort for guests, because one of the characteristics of this type of shops are low costs and therefore the owners do not take into account many aspects for its construction and function. The importance of carrying out this project with ecological materials is to promote new technologies that help the environment or have a low environmental impact, since over the years the waste or impulse consumption of highly harmful materials has affected the climate change of the planet, another important reason is for its target audience, the tourists who stay in hostels are culturally referred to as “backpackers”, these tourists who are between 18 and 30 years old, always promote or seek to get away from the conventional reason why they are always in natural events or that somehow relate to supporting the environment. The solution of the problem of this project will be broken down into three chapters taking into account the methodology of Bruno Munari; Chapter One is purely investigative where the topics of accommodation, tourism and ecological materiality will be analyzed; Chapter Two will aim to make a diagnosis of the building where the proposal will be projected and analyze homologous of hostels already made; Chapter three will create the interior design proposal through an ideation process where materiality, color and lighting will be analyzed all this applied to the concept that the design will have to create a comfortable and aesthetically suitable hostel for the user.
