“Juan Sordo Madaleno: La planta baja en edificios de oficinas y su relación con el lugar”
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-02-11) Eskola Tapia, Freddy Javier; Sinchi Toral, Iván Paúl
This research emerges from the problem of the relationship between public space and private space in high-rise buildings, a condition that has been observed within Latin American contexts. Modern architecture establishes values that enable the recognition of a project’s quality through the analysis of the relationship among place, program, and construction, aspects distinctly present in the architectural projects of Juan Sordo Madaleno. Thus, this study aims to identify these values in the work of Juan Sordo Madaleno, a Mexican architect from the mid-twentieth century. In this way, insights will be analyzed and extracted for the design of ground-floor interfaces with the immediate context. To accomplish this, it is considered appropriate to understand his work and the variables involved in the realization of his projects, refining the examination through redrawing and bibliographic review. Through qualitative research tools, the design strategies necessary for the development of rigorous, context-responsive projects will be revealed.
Análisis de la vulnerabilidad sísmica mediante modelación lineal y reforma de la edificación en función de zonas vulnerables para la generación de espacios seguros y rutas de evacuación externas: Caso de estudio Bloque E2 de la Facultad de Arquitectura
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-02-09) Avecillas Cedillo, María Belén; Solá Quintuña, Juan Medardo
Ecuador is a country prone to seismic hazards due to its geographical location on a complex system of tectonic plates, and the existence of buildings constructed before the implementation of seismic-resistant regulations represents a significant risk to user safety, especially in educational institutions. In this context, the present research aims to analyze the seismic vulnerability of Block E2 of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Cuenca, in order to identify lower-risk areas and define evacuation routes through the application of structural mitigation measures and signage. The methodology includes the architectural and structural survey of the building, the application of non-destructive tests such as sclerometry, ultrasonic testing, and carbonation to assess the structural condition, and the development of a three-dimensional model using linear static analysis in ETABS software, based on the guidelines of FEMA 310 and NEC 2015. The analysis revealed that most masonry walls are not integrated into the resistant system due to the presence of joints that limit the transmission of forces to reinforced concrete frames; therefore, only walls that meet the necessary characteristics to contribute to the structural system were considered, showing that the structure mainly behaves through ductile frames. The results make it possible to evaluate seismic behavior, determine the building’s vulnerability, and develop a safety plan with signage in accordance with NTE INEN 0439 and evacuation plans, highlighting the importance of implementing comprehensive seismic safety strategies.

(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-02-04) Soto Jumbo, Gharis Lizbeth; Soto Muñoz, Jaime Olivier
Digital marketing has become a necessity in the real estate sector, transforming how companies present themselves and how they position themselves in an increasingly competitive market. In Cuenca, social media has become an essential tool for real estate agencies to establish their visibility and connect with their clients. The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which social media use has influenced the competitiveness of the real estate market. To this end, factors such as the level of digital interaction, content quality, and the suitability of communication strategies to the demands of the target audience were identified. The research focused on identifying the most used channels, digital marketing management, and its role in business differentiation. The research employs a qualitative approach complemented by quantitative aspects, including customer surveys and social media content analysis. The sample consisted of local companies of varying sizes and users of social media platforms. The most notable results indicate that Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp were the most used social media platforms for advertising and customer acquisition, while TikTok was seen as an emerging option. Furthermore, it was evident that companies with more planned and consistent strategies achieved higher levels of competitiveness. In conclusion, digital marketing through social media strengthens the competitiveness of the real estate sector in Cuenca.
Identificación de zonas de rentabilidad para el desarrollo inmobiliario en condominios de vivienda unifamiliar, determinados por el nivel de inversión Caso de estudio: Suelo urbano no consolidado de Cuenca, Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-02-04) Espinoza Durán, Esteban Mauricio; Herrera Castillo, Nicolás Andrés
In the city of Cuenca, urban growth has driven real estate development toward areas of non-consolidated urban land, creating the need to identify strategic zones with greater profitability potential for residential projects. This research analyzes investment opportunities in single-family housing projects under a condominium regime in these areas. The main objective is to identify zones with the highest potential for real estate development, considering urban, economic, and social factors that influence the feasibility and profitability of such projects. The methodology combines documentary review analysis of urban regulations, with an emphasis on studying variables such as land value, construction costs, the level of basic service consolidation, road accessibility, and proximity to strategic facilities. Based on this information, a comparison is made between different zones of the city, and various investment scenarios are evaluated, differentiated by project scale. The study identifies areas with comparative advantages for implementing single-family housing projects, as well as the main limitations and challenges associated with development in non-consolidated urban land. The results aim to serve as a support tool for decision-making by real estate developers, municipal authorities, and other stakeholders involved in urban planning and management.
El potencial del modelado 3D BIM y la realidad aumentada en la enseñanza de sistemas hidrosanitarios para arquitectos
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-01-23) Pérez Coronel, Adrián Geovanny; Cazar Almache, Fabián Eduardo
The traditional training in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) shows a significant gap between theory and practice, largely due to limited exposure to digital tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Augmented Reality (AR) in higher education (Pérez et al., 2020). These tools are transforming AEC education by creating immersive learning environments that help students visualize and experience construction projects realistically. This combination improves spatial understanding, aids in conflict resolution, promotes active learning, and prepares students for an increasingly digitalized industry (P. Wang et al., 2018). Previous research highlights the effectiveness of virtual reality in teaching and learning (Pérez et al., 2020), but its full potential in fields like hydrosanitary system design remains underexplored. This study will use a mixed-methods approach to evaluate BIM and AR's effectiveness in teaching hydrosanitary system design to architecture students at the University of Cuenca. We will compare academic performance, perceptions, and experiences between a group using traditional methods and another using BIM and AR. The goal is to determine if these tools enhance comprehension and problem-solving skills, leading to better grades and a deeper understanding. We will also assess student motivation. The findings could serve as a model for improving higher education quality locally.
Arquitectura y construcción circular, aplicado a un sistema de envolvente de una vivienda unifamiliar en la ciudad de Cuenca
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-01-19) Huiracocha López, Edisson José; Sánchez Castillo, José Hernán
The open - cycle production system in which the architecture and construction currently are developed, generates a negative environmental impact due to excessive resources consumption and high waste generation, which has driven the proposal of new sustainable and circular cycles. The research delves into these cycles and their application to construction and architecture, understanding buildings as systems composed of layers or levels, with the envelope being of great relevance, therefore, as a case study, a wooden envelope system with circular qualities is developed and applied to a single-family home in the city of Cuenca. The study begins by identifying the design qualities involved in the conception of circular architecture and construction, and strengthens the applicability of these concepts or qualities through case studies. The wooden species for the envelope is defined based on circular architecture qualities and market availability. Subsequently, indicators are proposed to measure circularity in construction. Finally, the envelope system is designed and implemented in a dwelling, taking into account the information obtained, and its circularity is measured through the proposed indicators. Ultimately achieving full reuse of the envelope system and a reduction in atmospheric emissions.
Análisis Económico Comparativo de Estructuras de Hormigón y Acero: Una Evaluación para la Optimización de Recursos en Proyectos
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-01-12) Castro Riquetti, José David; Solá Quintuña, Juan Medardo
The research conducts a comparative analysis between reinforced concrete and steel structures, focusing on their seismic-resistant performance and the optimization of resources in construction projects. The study is based on the structural design of a six-story building in Cuenca, Ecuador, modeled in both materials under equivalent conditions of load, geometry, and seismic zoning. Non-structural elements were excluded to center the analysis on the pure structural behavior, while the foundation was designed considering the soil’s bearing capacity and the soil-structure interaction. The adopted methodology is quantitative, supported by international standards such as NEC 2015, ACI 318-19, and ANSI/AISC 360-22, as well as specialized software like ETABS and SAFE, which allowed the simulation of seismic response and the evaluation of parameters such as lateral drifts, torsion, shear walls, bracing systems, and base plates. The main objective is to determine the technical efficiency and economic feasibility of both systems, identifying advantages and limitations from structural and financial perspectives. The results show that steel offers greater ductility and energy dissipation capacity, making it favorable in areas of intense seismic activity, while concrete stands out for its rigidity and lower initial cost. Consequently, it is recommended to select the structural material considering the specific context of the project, balancing safety and economy. The findings highlight the importance of informed decisions that strengthen seismic resilience and promote sustainable, efficient, and adaptable infrastructure in the construction sector.
Análisis de los mecanismos de participación ciudadana aplicados en la aprobación del Plan de desarrollo y ordenamiento territorial y del Plan de uso y gestión de suelo del cantón Cuenca 2022-2030
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-01-20) Bonete Montesdeoca, Mery Alexandra; Vivanco Cruz, Lorena Regina
Citizen participation in the approval of development and territorial planning plans is a right guaranteed by the Ecuadorian Constitution and is binding on local governments. Its purpose is to involve citizens in decision-making regarding territorial planning, promoting more democratic and transparent public management. In Latin America, mechanisms such as forums, participatory budgets, and assemblies have been adopted, although they face challenges related to the exclusion of certain groups and the influence of political interests. In Ecuador, the 2008 Constitution establishes mandatory participatory planning through mechanisms such as sectoral citizen councils, consultative councils, public courts, participatory budgets, citizen assemblies, the empty chair, popular assemblies, and citizen oversight bodies. These processes, regulated by the Organic Code of Territorial Organization, Autonomy, and Decentralization (COOTAD) and other regulations, seek to guarantee inclusive and transparent territorial management. In the case of the Cuenca canton, the municipal decentralized autonomous government (GAD) has implemented citizen participation mechanisms, with the Silla Vacía (Vacant Chair) and the General Commission being particularly prominent in the approval of the 2022-2030 PDOT and PUGS (Project Management Plan). During this process, 758 interventions were recorded, of which 35% were from citizens. However, difficulties have been identified that limit effective participation, such as a lack of dissemination, unclear procedures, and regulatory deficiencies. To strengthen these mechanisms, it is necessary to simplify requirements, optimize communication strategies, and guarantee timely and efficient access to information. This will achieve broader, more inclusive, and more effective citizen participation in the processes of taking measures that impact the territorial development of Cuenca.
Pabellón y patio como elementos de arquitectura moderna. Cinco casos de estudio en la obra residencial de Augusto H. Álvarez (1950-1965)
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2026-01-20) Miranda Damián, Carolina Pilar; León González, Pablo Armando
The research aims to contribute to the study of modern Latin American architecture, continuing the analysis proposed by Carles Martí in his article “Pabellón y patio, elementos de la arquitectura moderna”. The objective of this work is to identify, analyze and demonstrate the complementary relationships between pavilion and patio in the residential work of Augusto H. Álvarez, who, during the mid-twentieth century, made countless contributions to Mexican architecture. The houses were selected from a catalogue delimited to the typology of single-family housing within the years 1950-1965. The selection of cases evaluated the availability of documentary material, scale, spatial organization and mainly the potential impact of the patio on the formal resolution of the architectural project. As a result, this research focuses on the analysis of five houses of Álvarez's work, all in Mexico City: Cedros No. 2, Club de Golf Lote 80, Meseta No.207, Lazcano No.20, José María Teresa No. 220. The methodology applied in this analysis is based on the graphic (re)construction of the project as an analytical system that allows learning, finding and validating principles or criteria; where re-drawing is a fundamental tool. This research seeks to generate reflections and conclusions that allow demonstrating, conceptually and graphically, the complementary relationships between pavilion and patio, as current and universal elements of modern Latin American architecture. In addition, an updated database will be obtained, with verifiable and high graphic quality content that contributes to the documentation of Augusto H. Álvarez’s work.

As a, objective is to analyze how the presence of certain variables affects temperature and thermal comfort inside the rooms. The methodology consists of continuous thermal measurements at three-hour intervals for six days, beginning at 6:00 PM and ending at 6:00 AM, using measuring instruments such as a thermal camera and a sound level meter. The data are analyzed for comparison in conjunction with a web application. This analysis determines effective textile barriers for increasing or decreasing temperature, controlling direct solar radiation, and regulating heat transfer through the window. The results not only provide a quantitative understanding of the thermal impact but also generate practical recommendations for improving the interior design and energy efficiency of homes in Cuenca with similar climate zones.
Aportes teórico-prácticos de la conversión de uso de tierras agrícolas desde la perspectiva de la expansión urbana en América Latina, 2018 a 2023: Revisión sistemática de literatura
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2025-11-06) Rojas Jiménez, Stephanye Karolina; Rodas Beltrán, Ana Patricia
This research addresses the issue of agricultural land conversion as a consequence of urban expansion in Latin America, a complex phenomenon influenced by economic, political, social, and environmental factors that particularly affects high-value productive lands essential for the population's food security. Through a systematic literature review (SLR), 15 scientific articles published between 2018 and 2023, indexed in SCOPUS, Dialnet, and SciELO databases, were analyzed. The qualitative analysis, conducted using ATLAS.ti25 software, enabled the coding and establishment of relationships between main variables, generating analytical tables and semantic networks that demonstrate the persistent trend of urban expansion at the expense of agricultural lands in the region. The findings emphasize the urgent need to implement public territorial planning policies that allow for more effective and sustainable management of these territorial transformation processes, considering both urban development demands and the preservation of strategic agricultural areas for the region.
Contradicciones en la planeación urbana participativa: el caso del Plan de Mejoramiento de Barrios Periféricos de Cuenca. Caso San José de Balzay
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2025-10-20) Martínez Roldán, Paúl Sebastián; Rogel Salazar, Rosario
Participatory urban planning was enshrined in Ecuador through the 2008 Constitution and the 2010 Organic Law on Citizen Participation, yet its practice often exposes tensions that erode policy effectiveness. This study investigates contradictions that emerge when social participation is integrated into the implementation of Cuenca’s Peripheral Neighborhood Improvement Plan, using San José de Balzay as a case study. An exploratory, comparative qualitative design was applied, involving two focus groups (six municipal technicians and six neighborhood leaders; April 2024). Transcripts were processed with Voyant Tools to detect lexical patterns and systematically contrast institutional and community views. Findings reveal mismatches between formal participatory mechanisms and local practices, along with institutional barriers that constrain citizen influence across planning and implementation processes for policy.
Influencia de la Participación Ciudadana en la Recuperación de Espacios Públicos: Estudio en el Barrio Sevilla de Oro en la Ciudad de Loja, Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura, 2025-10-21) Cuenca Vargas, Fabián Andrés; Salazar Vintimilla, Ana Cecilia
The management of public space requires citizen participation to involve its inhabitants in improvements for a better quality of life, hence the importance of knowing the perception of satisfaction of those involved. The general objective was to evaluate, from the perception of satisfaction of the community, the strategies of citizen participation implemented in the public space called: "Colors of our history" in the Sevilla de Oro Neighborhood in Loja, Ecuador, carried out between 2018 and 2023. A field methodology was used, descriptive, with mixed approach, using a survey questionnaire and focus groups. The survey revealed that of the 124 respondents, 90% are satisfied with the implementation of the project, 98% felt included in decision making, 96% consider that the project reflects the needs and preferences of the community, 92% believe that citizen participation was effective in improving public space, 90% are satisfied with the design of the EERSSA stairways, 88% consider that they represent a safe and welcoming public space, for individual and collective enjoyment, 96% believe that they contribute to a better quality of life, 90% revealed to be satisfied with the management of the urban planning project. Based on the focus groups, they value citizen participation strategies for the transformation of public space. They highlighted cooperation, involvement, commitment, a sense of belonging, and empowerment. It is concluded that, based on residents' perceptions of satisfaction, citizen participation strategies were positive in transforming urban spaces, as they promote social interactions, mutual understanding, and safe and peaceful coexistence.
Estudio del costo real de la mano de obra en la construcción ecuatoriana
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-10-18) Reyes Abad, Juan Gabriel; Andrade Guambana, Regis Iván
The intention of the investigation is to evaluate the real cost of labor in ecuadorian construction, considering the concepts that are effectively part of the cost, which are often not included. It was observed that, in practice, construction professionals are unaware of the breadth of the rules and regulations that affect the cost of labor, a situation that has worsened in recent times due to the biosafety protocols to be observed; Therefore, in determining the actual cost, the following must be included.The market values that the workers demand as the minimum salary according to the specialty Payments to the IESS (Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security).Costs of industrial safety and occupational hygiene (equipment for workers, talks, industrial engineering, etc.).Occupational Medical (entrance, annual, exit exams and various mandatory exams for the entry of workers to work).Cost of accident prevention and response plans. Provisions for dismissal, resignation. Provisions for mandatory and individual salary increases. Important points, because they contemplate various requirements by law, which will be indicated in the development of the study; requirements that generate expenses that must be part of the actual monthly cost of a worker; being real expense assumed by the professional of the work per month. In this regard, the intention of the work, therefore, is to guide, through a methodological guide, the comprehensive evaluation of the costs associated with the labor component for the salary categories present in construction in Ecuador.
El sistema constructivo como intensificador de la forma: El Edificio de Posgrados de Ciencias Humanas de Rogelio Salmona
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-01-31) Guerrero Moscoso, Claudia Carolina; Samaniego Alvarado, Pedro José
The inquiries about the architecture of Rogelio Salmona have been widely commented from different interpretive spheres by many authors and researchers; however, little has been said about the spatial quality that the refinement of detail has brought to his work and the fundamentals behind the creation of complex patterns or special elements. Thus, Salmona's theoretical reflections confront the pragmatism of the task through the use of a multitude of project materials, tangible and intangible, that interact with each other in a symbiotic relation. Consequently, the dominance of the constructive system is the expression of the convictions that he preached throughout his lifetime about the know how to do architecture. The study of this particular case, the Human Sciences Postgraduate building of the National University of Colombia, designed between 1995 - 2000, gathers their past experiences. It is a synthesis of the explorations with brick that the architect has carried out since the early seventies, combining it with other formal-poetic resources. Space and form are two objects that Salmona create through brick as a starting element, because as if it were a cell of the human body, it multiplies and gives the characteristic and unique measures of the subject in question. Which determinates that every building, as every human being, is particularly different and unrepeatable
Integración del riesgo por inundación en la formulación de planes de desarrollo y ordenamiento territorial cantonales. Una metodología para Babahoyo
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-10-27) Calle Barros, Diego Fernando; Jiménez Pacheco, Pedro Sebastián
In Ecuador, within the Land planning processes, risk management has already begun to be considered as an element that must be studied when developing land planning instruments; however, this has been limited to a process of theoretical documentation and unstructured historical information of urban development. That is why the objective of this thesis is to develop a methodological proposal that integrates flood risk management in the Land Planning of Babahoyo city. In this context, the thesis is developed with a non-experimental research approach of a longitudinal type, which allows the information collected on the case study and its land planning to be processed in an appropriate way according to the needs that were presented in its analysis and discussion, starting from the construction of a critical theoretical framework and case analysis, in order to propose a viable proposal for the area of study. A methodological plurality is proposed with a participatory approach that considers in an integral way the factors presented by the territory, as well as the actions and proposals that respond to the biophysical conditions and social aspirations of the sector. This methodology can be considered a technical contribution to the management of flood risk planning with the capacity to replicate in the various Cantones land planning processes in the country.
Lugar y forma: la esquina urbana en la obra de Obregón y Valenzuela en la ciudad de Bogotá. Edificio Grancolombiano - Edificio Colseguros
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2020-01-22) León Domínguez, Juan Fernando; Carvallo Ochoa, Juan Pablo
This work is directed towards the analysis of the urban architectural response of the “Grupo Grancolombiano” and the “Colseguros” Buildings of the Colombian Architects “Obregón, Valenzuela y Cía.” in which special emphasis is given to the critical observation of the architectural place, through the limitations and potentials provided by the natural and built landscape, the urban plot, the connection axes, characteristic roads, typical of the urban corner implementation, in the transition spaces known as squares or small squares are encouraged, which become receptacles for pedestrian flows, enhancing social coexistence, staying, crossing and in general the enjoyment of a space designed for the city, that starts from the beginning of the architectural design. In addition to that, this work makes an approach to the modern period, which supports the foundations of this architectural paradigm, throughout many examples of buildings in America of this kind, highlighting the universality of order criteria, visualizing the project strategies that will serve as project material. Likewise, it is possible to identify the evolution of public space from the catalog of the O&V Firm of those corner buildings, in Bogotá city. This way establishes that the architectural projects must not become isolated elements in the city, but become elements of contribution to the urban environment.
