Propuesta interiorista de la biblioteca “Víctor Manuel Albornoz” del Museo Pumapungo en Cuenca-Ecuador

Abstract

The Victor Manuel Albornoz Library, located in the city of Cuenca, belongs to the Pumapungo Museum, an entity of the Ecuadorian state that houses the history of the country and its ethnic groups. This space is a site of relevance and recognition in the history of the city because it is the holder of its valuable culture and information. Recognizing the importance of this place, we have carried out this research, analysis and proposal for the interior design of the ¨Víctor Manuel Albornoz Library. In chapter one we will discuss in detail the doctrinal criteria to determine the areas of functionality of the Library and, based on that, establish the number of daily visitors to the place. Likewise, we will analyze the importance of ergonomic factors and thermal, acoustic, furniture and lighting factors, as well as the correct analysis at the moment of implementing, structuring and materializing the redesign and the respective regulations that exist in the country in this regard. In chapter two I will specifically develop the detailed study of the Pumapungo museum, through a planimetry of its current state, a photographic survey of its facilities to establish if it complies with the current regulations and the analysis of the respective counterparts. Finally, chapter three presents the proposal for the redesign of the Pumapungo Museum Library, with the respective changes and their analysis
