Centro de acogimiento para jubilados de Machala.

Abstract

The development of this architectural project responds to the need for a shelter for retirees, located in the La Providencia neighborhood, in the city of Machala. The project is conceived as a response to the need to provide retirees in the city of Machala with a space that allows them to carry out their physical activities. Retirees, being people who have nished their work period, have a large amount of free time, time that must be used in the best possible way. The objective of the shelter is to provide these people with a space that allows them to develop physical activities that help maintain the physical and psychological well-being of the elderly. Using the patio typology, connecting spaces are planned to generate social cohesion among users, avoiding a feeling of con nement, promoting the development of social bonds through passive and active activities.
