Edificio de servicios académicos UCSG.

Abstract

This document develops the architectural proposal of an academic services building for the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, whose objective is to boost the stay of its users through the new building, proposing an alternative in academic and social activities through nonconventional systems by incorporating flexible, transformable, and playful spaces that manage to stimulate and promote the current pedagogical model, making the space act as the new educator.For this reason, a plaza and a free floor are established to generate integrating activities, in which two buildings are installed, a classroom building and a services and storage building, that invite visitors by the uninterrupted formal expression that is projected, contrasting with the surrounding context to become a new academic symbol of the place, where the various multipurpose and experimental scenarios are displayed in its four floors and, when merged with factors such as lightning, environment, color, and furniture, it stimulates the attention, learning results, and its personal relationships.
