Adobe, puesta en valor y estrategias para la conservación de una cultura constructiva
(2017-09-22) Orellana Calle, Verónica Cecilia; Guerra Galán, Jaime Augusto
Cuenca is known by its important constructive tradition in adobe, being its heritage architecture the result of a constructive evolutionary process that has lasted more than five centuries. During this time, the adobe has had a fundamental role in the history, development and conformation of its architectural urban landscape. However, since the arrival of a modern movement to the city and the consequent increase in the use of cement and other "modern" materials in construction, a rupture occurred in the city in the normal process of transmission and conservation of this traditional constructive system. This research focuses on the determination of strategies for the valorization and conservation of adobe as an essential constructive system for the preservation and maintenance of heritage buildings, as a basic measure to avoid the loss of values and authenticity of the heritage architecture and to guarantee the transmission and permanence in time of this cultural legacy. To achieve this aim, there search has been developed in three phases: The first phase consists of the structuring of a conceptual framework and an analysis of the role of adobe during the historical development of Cuenca. Its significance is determined through a participative methodology of identification of values from the actors. The second phase is the determination of the situation that this technique is facing today as local/traditional practice and wisdom ,its challenges, problems and causes. They have been determined through a technical analysis based on information provided by the Dirección de Areas Históricas y Patrimoniales, municipal department, as well as the information gathered through surveys and interviews which were conducted to groups related to the conservation of this technique in the city. In the third and last phase, strategies are determined to achieve the conservation and valorization of adobe, framed in four axes of action: 1. knowledge and diffusion; 2. training and education; 3. intervention in the build heritage; and, 4. management and legislation.

Álvaro Siza. Conjunto de viviendas: Quinta da Malagueira. 1977-1997
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-05-05) Maldonado Marchán, María Elizabeth; Guerra Galán, Jaime Augusto
Álvaro Siza (1933), has become one of the most important architects in Portuguese and International Architecture; and throughout his career, his work has been recognized with some of the most prestigious awards. Siza spent the early part of his career studying more deeply the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto, in order to master the construction techniques and consolidate a critical approach to modernity. After presenting an overview of those who have been part of the development of Siza's architecture, the aim of this study focuses on the analysis of his built houses, by identifying the formal values of the building and recognizing local techniques of application to the local context that are of great value for universal architecture, finding important visual and constructive relationships in the houses, through the constructive elements of a rigorous system which give an original character to his work. Through re-construction, formal values are identified under deductive parameters, which start from the analysis of the urban location, program and construction system. The interest in investigating the career of such an important architect, contributes to the development of critical thinking and, at the same time, opens new avenues for research and the possibility of relating to the immediate context

Análisis comparativo de la energía incorporada total específica. Caso de estudio: edificación residencial unifamiliar y multifamiliar Cuenca – Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-07-24) López Mogrovejo, Paúl Mateo; Torres Quezada, Jefferson Eloy
In the world and in Ecuador, housing continues to be one of the fundamental needs for human development and the enjoyment of a dignified life in accordance with the Ecuadorian constitution; It is also a human right according to the international standards of the United Nations (Gago Lorenzo, 2008). It is essential to build housing solutions that meet quality standards and technical parameters and can solve this housing need, but simultaneously the theoretical debate on the low-density city versus the high-density city is presented. In this discussion, most authors are in favor of a compact and densified city (Cabrera Jara et al., 2015) (Hermida et al., 2015); However, these studies do not consider the environmental and energy impact that occurs with construction, which is one of the activities that generates the greatest pollution worldwide. Recently, Latin American countries have introduced technological advances in construction systems and materials due to the reduction of construction costs; However, these new processes involve high levels of embodied energy. This research analyzes densified construction from the point of view of environmental and energy impact, considering the materials and construction systems used during the last decade. The analysis is carried out by comparing two case studies: a single-family housing building and a multi-family housing building, both cases located in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador. The Total Embodied Specific Energy (STEE) is quantified and the Total Specific Weight (STW) of the two case studies is addressed, the construction elements and materials have been classified into: Structure, Envelope and Finishes. The results of this research serve as an additional point of view of some of the environmental and energy aspects implicit in the construction of a compact and high-density city.
Análisis comparativo del confort térmico entre unidades de vivienda con diferentes sistemas constructivos ubicadas sobre 3000 m.s.n.m.
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-11-12) Moreno Albuja, Andrea Nataly; Guillén Mena, Vanessa Fernanda
Thermal comfort in housing ensures a better quality of life for its occupants. In recent years, the consummation of contemporary houses with vernacular influence has been observed. These houses typically located in rural areas, have the potential to regulate the thermal environment with fewer energy resources, while contemporary homes often generate a prolonged exposure to low temperatures, which is reflected in the health of their inhabitants. This research compares the thermal comfort between two contemporary houses with vernacular influence (TRA-01 and TRA-02) and two houses with regular contemporary construction systems (CON-01 and CON-02) located in the rural parish of San Juan, Riobamba canton, situated at approximately 3,200 meters above sea level. To carry out this comparison, the variables of exterior and interior temperature and relative humidity were monitored over a period of 8 days, with readings taken every 5 minutes for subsequent processing. Additionally, to establish the thermal comfort range of each house, the predominant outdoor average temperature was used and to evaluate the thermal comfort, the operative temperature was obtained, which is one of the most used indexes for assessing thermal comfort. Furthermore, to complement the study, thermal perception surveys were conducted among the users of the houses. The results show that contemporary houses with vernacular influence exhibited a stable interior temperature with an average fluctuation of (2.13°C); however, only one of the houses (TRA-02) was within the comfort range 37.5% of the time while (TRA-01) being 100% of the time outside the comfort range. In the regular contemporary houses, much wider ranges of internal oscillation were observed (7.57°C), resulting in both houses (CON-01 and CON-02) being outside of the comfort range 85,06% and 100% of the time severally. The difference in thermal behavior between vernacular and contemporary homes is due to the value of the thermal envelope transmittance, The main passive strategies used in the dwellings with the best thermal performance were (TRA-01) the orientation regarding the predominant wind, the thermal mass and the attached greenhouse, (TRA-02) the search for the optimal orientation, the optimization of the openings and the correct selection of the type of glass and carpentry and (CON -02) the thermal mass on the roof and the existing enclosure layer which demonstrates that the thermal response is not solely a function of the construction system used, but rather, a system of complex variables such as thermal transmittance (U value), the immediate environment, the amount of glass surface, the orientation of the home and especially the quality of the construction.
Análisis comparativo entre simulador ambiental en BIM Ecodesigner y DesignBuilder, comparando resultados obtenidos entre ellos, en parámetros de temperatura interior detectados y estos frente a la realidad
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-11-11) Sánchez Salazar, Giselle Betzabe; Zalamea León, Esteban Felipe
The importance of reducing energy consumption in buildings has led to the use of software that can predict the thermal performance of a building by entering the location and construction data, nevertheless, this type of software has shown a discrepancy in the results compared to in situ measured thermal data, and this issue has not been sufficiently studied in climates close to the equator line, to investigate this difference and the configuration that can produce the most precise results, three classrooms buildings from the faculty of architecture of the university of Cuenca that are modeled in Design Builder and ArchiCAD are taken to simulate thermal comfort parameters, the same configuration is introduced in both software and the simulation of temperature and humidity were compared with the measured data. Analyzing the results allows us to determine the precision of the two software been placed in the same circumstances at the climate zone of Cuenca, Ecuador, for that, interior measurements are taken with temperature, humidity and 𝐶𝑂ଶ sensors, as well as exterior measurements using a weather station. The simulations´ results provided a comparison table where the average result can be used as a correction factor, for Design Builder’s case a ±0.81°C and 5% of mean absolute difference (MAE) was obtained for the temperature and humidity simulated and a ±0.91°C and 6.09% of difference for the temperature and humidity simulated in Ecodesigner STAR plug-in from ArchiCAD, this data is obtained after calibration which placed the ventilation for the brick buildings (E1 and E2) in 20ACH, 30ACH and 40ACH, and the insulated concrete block building (E3) a ventilation of 15 ACH within their respective occupancy and ventilation schedule. This research helps identify the parameters and variables that affect the thermal simulation results providing an analysis of the simulation software use, workflow and the results with a comparative vision, finally, the values obtained as a mean absolute error can be used as a correction.

Análisis del impacto en uso de suelo de la ciudad del conocimiento Yachay en el cantón Urcuquí (2013-2019)
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-09-12) Chuquimarca Carrillo, Liliana del Cisne; Barrera Guarderas, Adrián Augusto
The implementation of the Yachay City of Knowledge has generated changes in the land use of the Urcuquí Canton, evidencing impacts on the planning and management of the territory; in addition, the lack of articulation of the different actors and instruments has been evidenced, particularly at national and local levels. This research aims to analyze the impact on land use in the San Miguel de Urcuquí and San Blas parishes in the 2013-2019 period. A mixed methodology was applied to identify the magnitude and spatial distribution of the impact on land use, techniques were also developed to compare planning instruments through the identification of variables to determine land use, in addition to in situ visits to define the progress of the project and the quantification of the data of activities registered in the Internal Revenue Service (SRI) through the National Classification of economic activities CIIU revision 4.0. The cartography was generated through the superposition of maps in geographic information systems such as Quantum GIS (QGIS). The results show the impacts generated by the project Yachay City of Knowledge such as the change of land use from rural to urban, the location of new equipment and services in rural areas, the intensity of land construction, conurbation of the urban and rural limits, among others. The analysis of the impacts allows us to visualize the lack of articulation between the different levels of government when using planning tools and planning the territory.

Relationship infrastructures are one of the subsystems that make up the territorial system and an important part of them is made up of road networks. The road facilitates the relationship between settlements, linking to the production areas and fulfills the role of connector and flow channel. The Provincial Decentralized and Autonomous Government, has promoted for more than a decade, a proposal for intervention in rural roads, based on guidelines and policies established on the basis of a diagnosis of the road network, and the needs identified by the population; However, it is from year 2008 with the enactment of the current constitution, that the competencies for each level of government are clarified and that the Provincial GAD is promoting with greater emphasis, the consolidation of the Rural Roads Management Model. From conception, the model has gone through different stages, until the current level of applicability and establish itself, as a management tool recognized locally and nationally for the CONGOPE, AME and CONAGOPARE for its innovative approach based on participation, linking public sectors and private sectors, recovery of investments and articulation between levels of government; Its analysis is aimed at determining structure, implementation process, generated impacts and if the implementation of it, has improved the indicators of the service provided. Contrasting the information of the Provincial entity with interviews with authorities of Parochial Governments, it is sought to determine problems or critical knots of the model and based on it, to establish strategies for its strengthening, especially regarding the management of resources, the implementation of intergovernmental coordination mechanisms and information management.

Análisis teórico - conceptual y propositivo sobre las sociedades cooperativistas en el marco de la cohesión territorial para el desarrollo rural. Caso de la parroquia Salinas de Tomabela en Ecuador
(2018-10-31) Ortega Astudillo, Rosa Leticia; Mendieta Orellana, Mónica Elisabeth
The processes of globalization bring new demands from international markets, the redefinition of the role of the State and sharpening of socioeconomic imbalances between regions and impose on the territories the challenge of defining and managing their own path for integral and inclusive development. The cooperative solidarity, community and participatory, is shown as an economic model in which their processes occur endogenously and those who inhabit are the key players, making use of what is available in the territory and with a common goal: to cover unmet basic needs, which allows reducing the gap between rich and poor. In this research with a qualitative, analytical and interpretative approach, and using the Case Study method, a theoretical - conceptual and proactive analysis is carried out on cooperative societies within the framework of territorial cohesion for rural development. Case of the parish Salinas de Tomabela in Ecuador. It is concluded from the theoretical - conceptual model of this cooperative society, that the factors that favor the management and cohesion of the rural territories, conformation and / or consolidation of cooperative societies, are the property of the land, the forms of production linked to a social and solidary economy, self-managed, organized, that integrates its inhabitants in their processes according to their potential and takes advantage of the natural resources of the environment, achieving social and territorial cohesion and at the same time financial, environmental and organizational sustainability, all for the sole purpose: sustainable rural development.
Análisis térmico comparativo de las cubiertas mayormente utilizadas en la ciudad de Cuenca, a partir de simulación digital térmica
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-02-21) Villa Enderica, Jonnathan Daniel; Torres Quezada, Jefferson Eloy
The building envelope is the part of the structure that interacts with the environment. In buildings, approximately 33% of heat loss occurs through the walls. However, in countries with low latitudes, the roof is the critical structure because it is the main component exposed to solar radiation, which accounts for about 50 to 60% of the thermal energy exchange between the interior and exterior. In recent decades, Cuenca and Ecuador have undergone significant changes in their construction systems. The displacement of vernacular construction with new, more industrialized systems has resulted in greater productivity in construction time and costs, but has also led to the neglect of the climatic characteristics of the place. As a consequence, light tile roofs made of reed, mud, and stucco have been completely replaced by roofs with other technologies. The methodology used for this study is based on digital simulations utilizing the Design Builder software and the Energy Plus calculation engine. The analyzed case studies pertain to the most commonly used roof types in Cuenca construction. The study concluded that optimizing the radiative properties on the exterior surface of the roof, along with thermal mass and air cavity, is crucial. By applying these strategies, we were able to regularize the heat flow, resulting in low thermal oscillations and improved interior temperature conditions. This led to better performance for a heavy roof and, most importantly, significantly enhanced the performance of a light roof in our climatic environment.
