Acabados: experimentación en pisos de tierra. Caso de estudio: sector de Guncay de la parroquia rural de El Valle del cantón Cuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-26) Heredia Viñan, Joseph Oswaldo; Zalamea León, Esteban Felipe
The construction of earthen floors represents a sustainable alternative to current construction processes that rely on concrete floors, which generate non-reusable debris and have a high environmental impact due to the production of prefabricated materials such as cement, ceramics, vinyl, and pvc. In this context, the present experimental study aims to design a mix formulation for stabilized earthen floors using local materials from the Guncay sector, a rural parish of El Valle, in the canton of Cuenca. The soil in the study area was characterized through field and laboratory tests, applying methodologies from the Peruvian Technical Standard E.080, the Ibero-American Protierra Network Protocol, and adapted studies from the NTE INEN standard. Based on these data, experimental formulations were developed incorporating natural stabilizers (such as cabuya fiber and rice husk) as well as other compounds such as lime, cement, and polyvinyl acetate. Subsequently, compression and moisture absorption tests were conducted on samples with different formulations to determine an optimal base mix, which was then used to construct six test panels on-site. Finally, waterproofing products were applied to the developed prototypes to evaluate their resistance to abrasion, moisture, stains, and chemical agents. In this way, a low environmental impact formulation was identified, allowing it to be considered as a viable flooring alternative in rural construction contexts.
Accesibilidaden el espacio público para personas con movilidad reducida. Cuenca como caso de estudio
(2017) Bustos Piedra, María Elisa; Marín Palacios, Mateo Sebastian; Hermida Palacios, María Augusta
Accessibility and mobility in urban public space is a key component to cities sustainability. However, mobility’s planning has strongly privileged motorized vehicles, leaving pedestrians and people with reduced mobility behind as last term. This investigation presents a study that generates an accessibility index in 214 sections choose around the city using stratified random. On the basis of two variables, the first one was verifying the extent of compliance of the regulation for accessibility in public space for people with reduced mobility “Ordenanza Municipal sobre Discapacidad de Cuenca” valid since 2010. Seventeen parameters were analyzed in each section, that were grouped in 67 routes. The second variable was the identified obstacles that impede an appropriate mobility and the difficulty of overcoming them. For the obstacles mapping there were carried our three different journeys: without simulation, with simulation of reduced mobility using a baby stroller or a wheel chair and with wheelchair users, that helped validate the data obtained with simulation. The results indicate a critical condition of accessibility in Cuenca and a significant difference between journeys made with simulation and wheelchair users; therefore, a series of intervention models are proposed based on the most representative obstacles and the experience of wheelchair users, aiming to improve accessibility in the built environment.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-07-31) Valdiviezo León, Nicole Stephany; Cardoso Martínez, Fausto Adrián
Restoration project of the Casa Dominguez, a heritage house, with the aim of encouraging heritage acupuncture and promoting heritage conservation. The methodological approach combines the participation of different actors with research throughout the process. Case studies of interventions in heritage buildings in Calle las Herrerías and Plaza del Herrero are examined to extract guidelines applicable to a specific section of Avenida Loja. The diagnostic process includes the collection of information on the Casa Dominguez and its urban environment, with the participation of a group of key actors. A self- diagnosis is carried out and a co-creation workshop is held with the owners of the house to share information and proposals about the intervention. Various alternatives are presented and the opinion of the stakeholders is assessed. Finally, the proposal is validated by selecting the most appropriate one based on the prioritization of the stakeholders related to the Casa Dominguez.

Adaptaciones del patrimonio arquitectónico: intervención urbano - arquitectónica en la Casa Moreno Dentro del Corredor Cultural UCuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-07-17) García Palacios, María Daniela; Carvallo Ochoa, Juan Pablo
The University of Cuenca has several cultural facilities: a theater, a museum, auditoriums, libraries, and maintains a direct urban link with the historic El Vado neighborhood, where it has five heritage houses, including Casa Moreno. Currently, the Casa Moreno, acquired in 2009, is uninhabited and the others are partially occupied by offices of different university departments, which makes urban life passive in its immediate context, since administrative activities limit interaction with the community. In the same way, the houses do not have a spatial connector or a program that integrates and connects them. Under these conditions, the research proposes the preliminary design of a cultural center in Casa Moreno that integrates into the program of Corredor Cultural UCuenca, starting in April 2023 and developed in parallel with this research project, which aims to revitalize the University’s heritage houses to serve the whole community through the implementation of mixed uses dedicated to art and culture. The study begins with the exploration of basic concepts that allow a general understanding of the urban and architectural characteristics of cultural projects, as well as their objectives and effects on the city and its heritage. Next, the architectural program is built, supported by an interdisciplinary methodology guided by the Department Ciudad Universitaria, by the analysis of the immediate urban environment, the review of the regulations and the documentary and architectural analysis of Casa Moreno. Finally, the intervention criteria are established through the application of restoration theories and case studies. The proposal for the new Cultural Center in Casa Moreno is closely related to the activity plan of the UCuenca Cultural Corridor project. At the same time, it aims to adapt to the dynamics of the neighborhood while exploring and enhancing the spatial qualities of the house. The project involves a close relationship with artistic activities, facilitating their free development and creative flow. Both the procedures and the outcome of the research serve as guides for future cultural projects that require adaptation to the built heritage in the City.

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.

(2019-04-17) Andrade Arias, Wilson Xavier; Ramos Monori, Jeimis Leonardo
The purpose of this research is to expose the different formal-functional attributes of the water used as a project resource, for this purpose, this element and its characteristics will be defined and classified according to its forms and its encounter with man. It will also explore different manifestations that have occurred throughout history, all this with a focus on architecture.On the other hand, we will approach Modern Architecture and its principles, I will briefly identify with personal criteria, which have been the most explicit examples throughout history, prioritizing meticulously in the modern era of architecture and taking examples of catalog that evidences the use and importance of the water linked to the project. Finally, architect Rogelio Salamea will be taken as a reference for study, for which it has been considered to carry out a process of analysis and documentation of this architectural element (water) in the definition of the spaces of different emblematic works selected by the author, through of the architectural reconstruction, the possible approaches, proportions, design criteria and the different relationships that this element provides in the work and its immediate landscape will be interpreted.
