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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
