Anteproyecto de repotenciación del parque Simón Bolívar de Gualaceo

Abstract

Since the origin of the first human settlements and with the formation of the first cities, public places has had a special role. It is in the public spaces where social exchanges and citizen participation take place. However, there are times when the public spaces of parks or squares are maintained without active use. This, due to factors such as insecurity or the lack of infrastructure that adapts to the needs and requirements of the population. Therefore, architecture is called to design urban projects that work and answer to social, cultural and environmental demands. For this to succeed, it is convenient to carry out an analysis of the place to intervene and apply nature based solutions (NBS) on these projects, as well as values of the New Urban Agenda (NAU). On this context, this document presents the process developed for the intervention of the Simon Bolivar Park in Gualaceo– Ecuador. Where the diagnosis of the site is made, in which it is determined that there is a feeling of insecurity for the users of the park that decreases its use. The design criteria based on HÁBITAT III and NBS are applied. In addition, a preliminary draft of feasibility is resolved, which responds to the particular conditions of the sector and, finally, this information is documented, on constructive architectural plans and calculation of the estimated budget to execute the work.
