Centro de acogida para jubilados en Machala.

Abstract

The project is located in the city of Machala, and aims to prolong protection and physical and cognitive development and improve the quality of life, An architectural intervention proposal was made for a building on a plot of 4350 m2 aimed at the elderly community of Machala. The project is reflected through the concept of resilience in total integrity, whose meaning is understood as adaptation to adverse situations with positive results. Not only does the project adapt structurally to the existing vegetation and other natural conditions of the context. Rather, the term resilience is also related to the project’s approach in fostering the delay and prevention of early geriatric intervention. Since, it was determined that by means of 3 steps; prevention, assistance and rehabilitation, such intervention would be avoided by having the tools to detect problems to prevent and treat in case any congenital or physical deterioration has been detected. Therefore, the concept also covers the functioning by forcing the elderly to adapt to actions that will promote their improvement inexorably.
