    El rigor constructivo en la composición del proyecto de arquitectura doméstica de Craig Ellwood
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-11-18) Brito Puni, Erika Katherine; Ramos Monori, Jeimis Leonardo
    Craig Ellwood one of the three most important architects of the modern movement along with Mies Van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright, according to Norman Foster (Hines, 2004). All of Ellwood’s buildings, have a structural elegance and an economy of means comparable to those of Mies Van der Rohe, he also focused on making his ideological dream of “transmitting a message through the expressive use of construction a reality” (Gili , 2004, p. 10), it is because of this contribution to modern architecture that this research seeks to identify the works on two scales: housing type and apartment type in the period 1950-1953, and then analyze three specific cases, the Case Study House # 16, Courtyard Apartments and Hale House as a contrast work, where the detail and constructive rigor not only had a pragmatic intention, but were part of the formal composition of the building. The methodology to be used is based on the book El Proyecto Moderno by Cristina Gastón and Teresa Rovira (2007), where it facilitates the process for the researcher, “indicating paths, revealing procedures, systematizing results, so that the work is more fruitful” (Gastón & Rovira, 2007, p.7), a descriptive analysis will be carried out through bibliographic reviews and a graphic analysis that allows us to understand the constructive rigor in the architectural project.

    Mejoramiento de las condiciones de confort térmico, lumínico y visual de los multifamiliares del IESS de la ciudad de Cuenca
    (2015) Brito Puni, Erika Katherine; Molina Calle, David Esteban; Ramos Monori, Jeimis Leonardo
    There is a necessity to design bioclimatic buildings to avoid the excessive use of energy and resources. First, we design new bioclimatic buildings, and on the other, are existing buildings without a bioclimatic design, which is focused in this thesis. Multifamily Complex IESS of Cuenca, is a modern example of the 70 located in El Ejido, considered the first multi-city, and is the complex selected for our analysis of comfort. Initially an architectural analysis complemented with an analysis of the microclimate, thermal, lighting and visual analysis with a direct record of climatic values and a simulation was performed with digital programs. The results allowed to identify problems that presents all comfort and space problems in Cuenca standards architecture. They defined the problems, strategies and architectural blueprint raised to improve the comfort of the resort. It was necessary to review concerning world, Latin American and Cuenca modern architecture; the main concepts of bioclimatic architecture and comfort, concepts that allowed determining the level of comfort of the whole. In addition, elements and climatic parameters were identified Cuenca, two draft bioclimatic architectural intervention as a reference for the design process, and additionally existing materials and construction technologies that could be applied were analyzed.
