(Universidad de Cuenca, 2021) Molina Toledo, Lisseth Cristina; Cabrera Jara, Natasha Eulalia; Hermida Palacios, María Augusta
Casas y Conjuntos presents the results of research on a substantive issue in Latin American cities: social housing. The reflexive proposal that guides this work, inquires about public housing policies, built projects, their impact on the city and on the quality of life of its inhabitants. In the book, the systemic complexity of the different aspects that affect government-produced housing and that, at the same time, unfold from it, are communicated with great lucidity. At the same time, the inescapable urgency to reformulate actions around social housing from a qualitative and sustainable perspective. As is usual in the investigations carried out by the LlactaLAB-Sustainable Cities Research Group, the exploration is carried out between scales, from the house to the city In this case, in addition, we seek to learn from a "project culture" from which we can extract and cultivate new learning. The publication, which as readers we have in hand, is undoubtedly a tool conceived from scientific rigor and contextual relevance, which favors a greater understanding of everyday residential environments in Cuenca. But, above all, it is a claim that transcends the local, and highlights the role of public housing as an element of urban, social and environmental transformation. Casas y Conjuntos skilfully weaves, through space and time, lessons and challenges that lead us to rethink the social habitat as a support for the development and care of life in our cities.
Criterios de diseño para el encuentro del edificio y la calle: análisis de las fachadas en planta baja y su influencia en el comportamiento de los peatones en la Av. Remigio Crespo
(2017) Alvarez Unda, Natalia Carolina; Molina Toledo, Lisseth Cristina; Hermida Palacios, María Augusta
This research studies the space of transition between the public and the private, in a commercial street of Cuenca, Av. Remigio Crespo Toral. The aim is to propose a design that improves the quality of public space based on the study of the influence of the edge space on people´s behavior, specifically the ground floor facades impact. The methodology was based on direct observation and was divided into three stages: the first one was the classification of the 45 avenue sections, according to four variables: rhythm, permeability, variety of uses and constructive quality. In the second stage, the people´s behavior was studied in front of five representative sections of the avenue, through the registration of the pedestrian speed and the activities of permanence. Finally, in the third stage, maps were obtained in Gis to analyze the relationship between facades and the people´s behavior. The main results indicate that the characteristics of facades on the ground floor effectively influence the behavior of the public space users, so that the section with favorable characteristics in terms of its ground floor design has six times more diversity of activities than inactive sections. Therefore, attention to the design of these areas is decisive when planning public spaces in the city.
