Anteproyecto arquitectónico del parque barrial “Las Caleras”, Parroquia San Sebastián

Abstract

The purpose of this degree project is the architectural design of a neighborhood park in the “Las Caleras” of the San Sebastian parish, in response to the lack of adequate green spaces that promote recreation, sports and community socialization. The disorderly urban growth and the lack of recreational facilities motivated this proposal that seeks to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants through the creation of an accessible, functional and harmonious public space. The thesis is structured in five chapters. The first chapter presents the foundations, justification and objectives, accompanied by a theoretical analysis of public space, urban parks and current regulations. The second chapter includes a comparative study of relevant national and international cases for the construction of design criteria. The third chapter includes a complete diagnosis of the intervention site, covering physical, social, urban and environmental aspects of the Las Caleras neighborhood. The fourth chapter deals with the development of the architectural preliminary project, where design strategies, functional zoning, architectural program, circulation, vegetation and urban furniture are defined. Finally, the fifth chapter presents the conclusions, recommendations and contributions of the project at the urban and social levels. The proposed neighborhood park seeks to promote neighborhood integration, intergenerational recreation and the strengthening of community identity through an inclusive, sustainable and representative green space for the sector.
