    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
