Residencia para estudiantes foráneos becados por recursos económicos de la Universidad de las Artes.

Abstract

The project Residency for foreign students scholarship by economic resources of the university of the arts is located in the center of guayaquil within the urban campus of the university of the arts, which is structured from the rehabilitation of heritage buildings located in the city center. The land is located between the streets Simón Bolívar Palacios and General Miguel Elizalde. The building has an architectural program that caters to 86 foreign users and has spaces for the practice of specific artistic activities of each bachelor of arts university and, in addition, collective spaces, recreation, entertainment and service. A critical analysis is carried out on the ways of inhabiting and adapting a foreign student, scales of collectivity, and artistic spaces for the practice and production of art. Common spaces are proposed to develop activities collectively promoting interaction between users, and also individual spaces that respect the privacy of the user are proposed. Prefabricated multi-purpose furniture is developed taking into account the basic needs of the user and his lifestyle. Prefabricated mobile panels are also installed on the façade to suit the user’s needs and the city’s climate.
