Un nuevo modelo territorial de las zonas de protección natural periurbanas en la microcuenca del río Tarqui
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012-05) Orellana Valdez, Diana Alejandra
The Ordinance that punishes the Territorial ordering Plan of canton Cuenca, existing since 2003, determines the non-developable land in the area of influence close to the city because some factors, one of them is the natural value possessing five well-defined areas called Areas of Natural Protection (ZPN), in these areas is restricted all activity involving the artificialization of land, banning also their fractionation. However, so far are vulnerable by urban growth because there is no any plan that defines their management. Under that circumstance, we applied the methodology proposed by Dr. Domingo Gómez Orea to the elaboration of the Territorial ordering Plan used in three of the five ZPN peri-urban areas: Loma de Huizhil, Cerro Monjas, Agua Santa and the area of close influence - the micro-watershed of the Tarqui river- common to the three territories, the same that is characterized by harmonize activities and human aspirations with the reception capacity of each territory.
Los vehículos motorizados privados y el problema de transporte público en los centros históricos: el caso de Cuenca-Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012-05) Moscoso Cordero, María Soledad
Transport, pedestrianization and conservation are three main problems in the management of heritage cities, especially in the Latin American cities, where economic resources limit their access to sustainable transport systems. After having an overview of the problem and its causes, have been investigated solutions as well as the implementation of appropriate policies, related to the subject, in the historical centres. Likewise, we have analyzed successful cases of traffic management systems developed in cities of the world heritage in order to find solutions transferable and that they can be adapted to the context of Cuenca, one of the two cities patrimony of the humanity of the Ecuador.
Memoria: proyecto de ampliación y readecuación de la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Cuenca edificio de Postgrado
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012-05) Ramos Monori, Jeimis Leonardo
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.
Hacia una ciudad compacta: Cuenca y sus áreas residenciales
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012-05) Mera P., María Augusta; Santacruz A., María Elizabeth
Residential settlements in the city of Cuenca have been forming at the same time as urban interventions carried out with the intention of planning a growth of the city, or by events that have passed over time. At present, the city has a model of settlement in which corresponds to the uses of soil underlying after the "Ordinance that punishes the Territorial ordering Plan of the Cuenca canton: determinations for the use and occupation of urban soil" issued by the municipality of Cuenca in 1998 and renovated in 2003. This model has allowed the population with facilities services, communication and an environment suitable for the development of activities of daily living; However, after a decade of their validity, is believed relevant to evaluate and adjust this model with the intention of encourage towards a compact settlement. This research has been focused on those resources that allow to improve the existing conditions in current soil use model, at the same time that has raised a series of strategies and recommendations to advance toward a compact city.
Entendiendo la arquitectura sostenible como un ente generado esencialmente a partir de su entorno
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012-05) Galindo, Tomás
This article suggests an approach sui generis to the conception of sustainable architecture preliminary project, where the response provided by the architecture to the problem set is defined exclusively from the tangible results that provides analysis of a series of specific factors, determined by the environment or architectural context, as well as by the implicit functional parameters within the subject of project. Obviously, should be noted that the subject of this article is reflected in its contents through a description and personal appreciation of its author on the method noticeable from the reading of the thesis paper: "Scientific research center for tourism & Museum of Meteorology in San Cristóbal Island, Galapagos province", document cited in the bibliography of this article.
Revisión de la industrialización de la vivienda y de tres experiencias de sistemas constructivos en Latinoamérica
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012-05) Samaniego, Augusto
This article tries to present, in a synthesized way, a set of variables obtained from an inventory of 123 construction industrialized techniques, prepared by a group of American researchers, listed in the First catalog of industrialized techniques for the low-cost housing in Latin America and the Caribbean with the coordination of the architect Walter Kruk. The variables refer to the extent of the use of industrialized techniques, the kind of techniques, materials, periods of development, the intensity of the investment and the type of labor; which, in general, allow to identify the characteristics of the construction companies that have opted for the path of industrialization. This part concludes with a description of the technological profile of a Latin American company. Finally, to illustrate the main features of the building systems that use industrialized techniques in Latin America it concludes with a brief review of three successful and innovative experiences for low cost housing as the sytems BENO in Argentina, SANDINO in Cuba and SANCOCHO in Venezuela.
Unidades estructurales y su importancia en la ordenación del territorio ecuatoriano
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2012-05) Pauta Calle, Víctor Fernando; Zee, Jaap van der
The objective of this study is to show the conceptual and methodological utility that has the definition of "structural units" in the determination of the reception capacity of the physical environment for human activities, in the framework of the drafting of the territorial organization plans. For this purpose, in the introduction is located as a starting point one of the methodologies proposed by Professor Domingo Gómez Orea and the restrictions presented for that purpose from a more systematic approach. Town and country planning is defined as a context, the methodological process are set out for the elaboration of a land management plan and in particular for the establishment of the capacity of the physical environment and as part of this component, the aforementioned structural units, but also the "environmental units", highlighting the advantages that has in principle to find the latter, following the method of Gómez Orea. Then the structural units are conceptualized and explained how can be defined at different levels of detail. Is then exposed the environmental function of structural units and their difference with the environmental and also its socio-economic function. Finally shown its definition with a specific application. The main result points to the discernment of the reception capacity of the physical environment for human activities becomes more appropriate, rigorous and consequent with its features if it relies on structural units, without prejudice to the subsequent definition, with intentions of analysis and diagnosis of the environmental unit suggested by Gómez Orea in attention to activities that support eventually that medium.
Proyecto: readecuación del Teatro Carlos Cueva Tamariz
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-02) Universidad de Cuenca; Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo; Unidad de Planificación Física Universidad de Cuenca
The University of Cuenca, aware of the current needs of the city for quality public spaces, undertakes the work of readjustment of the theatre Carlos Cueva Tamariz. This building, symbol of the institution, in the course of time had undergone a process of deterioration, reason by which it was indispensable to make certain adjustments to provide it with a better technical, functional and aesthetic system: in accordance with the current and future uses of the building. The objective was to carry out the necessary works to transform the building into a theatre with all its services; to implement a new acoustic system, visual-isoptico and spatial in order to provide its users a place that meets the highest standards in its kind, encourage and promote both inside and outside the institution, the realization of artistic and academic activities.
Salud, ambiente y territorio: una visión integrada en un mundo globalizado
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-02) Gómez Orea, Domingo; Gómez Villarino, MaríaTeresa; Gómez Villarino, Miguel
The current model of development is economically globalist and territorially separated, according to a center-periphery pattern which accumulates activities and population in some areas while degrades others.This model is economic, social and environmentally unsustainable and energy inefficient, because it requires concentrated energy production, because it requires the movement of huge amounts of goods and it hinders the use of renewable energies that are usually located diffusely in the territory. The article raises the implications of this model for the health and the benefits of the proposed alternative model would produce. Against the previous one, the article proposes a polynuclear and networked model, with compact settlements of different level and size, multifunctional, covering all the space, connected by channels of relationship that provide them similar opportunities of access to centers, science, culture, leisure, etc.
Lógica clásica y lógica difusa: Facetas que las caracterizan
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-02) Almache Cabrera, Juan
Analysis of bibliographic information, such as methodological process for this article, led to the elaboration of matrices corresponding to each of the facets: logical, relational, epistemic and sets, from classic and diffuse logics. The interrelationship and analysis of different premises constants in these arrays allowed the diversification in the conception of each of them, whereas the classical logic as a science of the formal and regulatory principles of reasoning, which focuses on the logical form of adopting the thoughts to the construction of formal languages with clarity and precision, and diffuse logic as the science of the formal principles of approximate reasoning, flexible and tolerant of imprecision, capable of modeling non-linear problems. In addition, applications of diffuse logic are briefly manifested, among others: control systems and neural networks.
Expresión gráfica – digital: una perspectiva
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-02) Orellana, Boris
The use of the computer as an effective tool of design in the field of architecture has been subject of discussion for decades. Joint and ordered analysis to establish a proper education, application, research and technological development has given rise to various organizations, as for example the Association for architectural computer-aided design, founded in 1981 and which to date remains one of the most prestigious worldwide institutions.
Diseño y validación de vivienda bioclimática para la ciudad de Cuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-02) Cordero, Ximena; Guillén, Vanessa
This study of design and validation of bioclimatic housing for the the city of Cuenca has been divided into two sections: In the first part are made known the results of a processing of climatological data of the city, which determines the influence of each of these to its environment. Then its application in the bioclimatic diagram of Givoni will be displayed, and finally we do a brief analysis of other environmental factors influencing the comfort of habitable spaces. In the second part it arises the design of a bioclimatic housing at the level of preliminary, the same that has been evaluated and validated through the use of a software and mathematical calculations, based on national and international standards.
Cronotopo urbano Cuenca de los Andes
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-02) Jaramillo Medina, Carlos
New readings of historic centres seek alternative methods and approaches to understand their natural, cultural and historical senses. These epistemological efforts want to overcome the positivist visions of the modern paradigm. This paper seeks to understand the historic centre of Cuenca from other perspectives. To achieve this purpose we have consulted several sources postmodern and contemporary, including the suggestive work of Álvaro Niño, called "La Gesta del Signo. Hacia un semanálisis urbano". (The feat of the sign. Toward an urban semanalisis.) This essay is divided into five parts: first of all theoretical and methodological references are presented to address the subject of study; then are exposed archetypes, vectors and urban phenotypes; and finally we raised this hypothesis: the historic centre of Cuenca can be considered an urban chronotope, it means, a natural, urban and architectural alternative of multiple and intertextual interpretation and associations of a Rhizomatic nature.
La ciudad imaginada Los territorios, lo imaginario y lo simbólico
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-02) Jaramillo Paredes, Diego
The various approaches that, over time, have been developed and applied to study the urban, have privileged the visible city, the matter, the physical universe; it mean, the city itself such as spatial geographic dimension (the ecology of living) and not the urban as an socio-cultural and anthropological dimension (the culture of living). The analysis of the material conditions of the city while it is necessary, is not sufficient, since the city is also a stage of desires of evocations and dreams of its inhabitants who, on a daily basis and relentless way, are building one or multiple images of her. This article, which is part of a research project on urban imaginaries, deals precisely the reflection on the city understood as a place of cultural event and scenario of an imaginary effect, the symbols on it built by its own inhabitants; that hidden or invisible city which constitutes a complex network of symbols in permanent construction. In this framework, we focus on the notion of territory, conceived as a cultural construction and its relationship with the imaginary and the symbolic.
Ahorro de agua y reutilización en la edificación en la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10) Baquero, María Teresa
En este estudio sobre el ahorro del agua y reutilización en la construcción aplicado a un proyecto de vivienda multifamiliar en la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador, es analizada la problemática del agua y la construcción en la actualidad. Luego se realiza una investigación sobre el consumo real de agua potable en la ciudad así como la situación de este recurso en el mundo. Posteriormente es explicado el sistema de reutilización de aguas grises provenientes de lavamanos, duchas y lavadoras que se utilizará en el proyecto, y finalmente se lo aplica en un anteproyecto que consiste en dos torres multifamiliares que contarán con 348 habitantes, lo que permitirá un ahorro de agua y reutilización a mayor escala que si se realizara en una vivienda unifamiliar.
Guía para la redacción de especificaciones técnicas particulares para obras civiles
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10) Rodas Marín, Bolívar
In the construction of civil works will continue to commit mistakes which have resulted in constant loss of family heritage, caused by non-observance of standards and codes that have been hardly tried to implement in daily build. Facing this problem, this article proposes the elaboration of a guide for the drafting of specific technical specifications, that has a structure that allows to speed up the process of formulation of documents, unify criteria, procedures, and integrate all components in an specification easy to use by builders and auditors, even by non-specialists. In this way is intended to expand the current context and to serve as a guide or path to the inclusion of new concepts.
Vivienda unifamiliar contemporánea con atributos modernos en la ciudad de Cuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10) Íñiguez Alvarado, María Claudia
In the present work was carried out an in-depth analysis about the attributes of modern architecture in order to establish criteria keys for the selection of relevant contemporary homes in the city of Cuenca and thus demonstrate the persistence of these in the current architectural production of our town. Thereby, a concise study on the development of Modernity was carried out throughout its history, to understand under what parameters were developed concepts such as rigour, precision, visual economy, constructive economy, universality and reversibility, establishing a link in the analysis of contemporary, and emblematic works in order to find similarities in their processes of formal construction, developing projects that are logically supported both formal and functional aspects.
Antecedentes, rol y desafío de la digitalización del patrimonio arquitectónico
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10) Santana Quintero, Mario
No doubt, the use of digital tools in the documentation of the architectural heritage has revolutionized the way in which historic places are identified, disseminated and virtually valued. However, these new opportunities bring new challenges to guarantee scientific accuracy and the reliability of the information used to document and protect the heritage sites long term and thus to ensure that these records are transmitted and are maintained for future use. This contribution is not only intended to underline the challenges, but also to offer options, taking into account the notion of efficiency requirements and how to capture and disseminate the knowledge the of heritage goods. These objectives will be achieved by taking as starting point the needs of the place from a comprehensive and participatory approach, focused on the importance of the information to understand the meaning and integrity. In this sense, it is essential also to evaluate the radius of deterioration caused by disturbances/threats and potential risks to these cultural resources. In relation to cultural heritage, the emphasis of this work is given to historic buildings and archaeological sites.
Mampostería postensada una alternativa constructiva para Ecuador y regiones sísmicas
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10) Zalamea León, Esteban Felipe
This work addresses a central problem of construction in Cuenca, Andean city of the South of the Ecuador, where every day we see that mostly, failure to comply with the provisions of the regulations that govern other countries with similar seismic conditions, so it is visible that the buildings are at serious risk. From this evidence, our research seeks to construct masonry walls post-tensioned with materials, tools and techniques available in the medium, considering that the proposed construction technology and adapted for masonry is already a response in other societies, with the same potential risks.
Espacio y límites, una relación sinérgica
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2014-01) Hidalgo, Patricio
This essay focuses on the analysis and reflection about the presence of the limits into the living spaces, and its components, from the dynamics of their relationships and interactions in the field of complexity. We start from an approach where we position the limit at an intermediate point between the subject who perceives and the multidimensional space, recognizing from this limit its ability to determine the space, conferring particular qualities and features. This problem locates the limits in a highlight point of the spatial configuration, as articulators of sense and carriers of meanings. From this glaze we analyze and describe their characteristics, location, applications, performance, etc.
