Abstract

Development of the Landscape Plan for the exterior areas of the Marista Borja 2 School, located in the “La Mariscal” neighborhood of the Metropolitan District of Quito. Through the collection of practices, case studies, theories and concepts related to children and the school yard, a comprehensive methodology is determined that addresses the recovery of degraded school spaces. The case study is defined in terms of its relationship with the city, its history and its particular conditions, and a diagnosis is made based on the identification and valuation of landscape units - recognizing three structural components of the landscape: natural, artificial and social. Finally, the landscape proposal of the Plan is developed: stating criteria of action and then applying specific strategies on the place based on the theory of pattern language.
