Diseño del anteproyecto arquitectónico del mercado minorista para la ciudad de Azogues, Cañar

Abstract

The retail market is a public facility for the supply of goods, products or services to satisfy the needs of the population of a specific area according to its hierarchy. In Ecuador, these facilities are a fundamental part of people's lives, in addition to being cultural centers. and identity. Currently in the city of Azogues there are 3 markets, the San Francisco market, the Polibio Romero market and the new wholesale market. Considering that about 23% of the population of Azogues is dedicated to the primary sector, especially in small-scale agriculture and livestock, added to the fact that in the following years the majority of the canton's population will live in the city, the absence of adequate infrastructure for the exchange of products becomes more evident. Therefore, the objective of this Curricular Integration Work is to design an efficient and functional retail market, providing an accessible commercial space that stimulates economic activity and improves the quality of life in the canton. To achieve this goal, robust information collection methods will be used, including the evaluation of references with similar characteristics and a detailed analysis of the site. All of this will culminate in the proposal of the architectural preliminary project, accompanied by the pertinent conclusions derived from this work.
