Anteproyecto arquitectónico para la ampliación y readecuación del Estadio Municipal Eduardo Crespo Malo del cantón Paute

Abstract

In the Paute canton, where sporting activities are hindered by the lack of adequate facilities and the deterioration of existing ones, the Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Government (GAD) has taken significant steps to enhance sports infrastructure and accessibility. In collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Cuenca, a preliminary architectural design has been developed for the expansion and refurbishment of the municipal stadium, "Eduardo Crespo Malo." This project is grounded in a profound understanding of the local population's needs and a comprehensive site analysis, ranging from a macro perspective of the canton to a micro-level examination. Crucial aspects such as accessibility, security, sustainability, and adaptability have been meticulously considered in the stadium's design. The collaboration between the GAD and the university has facilitated the creation of an architectural program that meets the requirements of a multifunctional sports facility, addressing similar challenges through case studies and proposing innovative solutions. This integrated approach not only enhances the stadium's current conditions but also drives sports development in the canton, serving as an inspiring model for other communities facing similar challenges in improving their sports and recreational facilities.
