Mercado artesanal para el Centro de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The degree project consists of the design of an artisan market and a public square for the city of Guayaquil. It is located in the Pedro Carbo Parish, between Loja and Rocafuerte streets. The market was born from the need to strengthen the cultural identity and the work of national artisans, this because despite the fact that there are two artisan markets in the city, none of them has an optimal design, there are ventilation problems, temperature , narrow corridors and spatial disorganization, which has generated the economic decline of the artisans of the place, since users do not feel comfortable inside the building. For this reason, the design of this project meets the needs of users to have a spacious, comfortable and organized space, thus providing an architectural design that takes advantage of the visuals and the different characteristics of the site, inviting the user to learn about our identity. cultural, and the work of our artisans. The design of the square seeks to improve the urban image and the quality of life of users through spaces for interaction, meeting and recreation, creating a comfortable square for the flow of people and each of the activities that can be carried out within her without losing her direct relationship with the market. The project design involves central spaces, clearly defined circulation areas and an easy-to-understand layout so that the user can easily orient themselves within the project.
