Centro Violeta para Guayaquil.

Abstract

The present work contains the development of an architectural proposal for the design of a Violet Center in the City of Guayaquil; aimed at women, adolescents and girls who are victims of high rates of Gender Violence. In response to the lack of such spaces, the project aims to welcome women and girls who have suffered from domestic violence and provide them with a stay during the legal, medical or psychological process that they are going through. The concept of the project is the total isolation of the user in order to provide security and protection to the victims. It fulfils an established program, where women will develop physical activities, bone and learning; such as communal and living areas, the yoga and meditation room, the recreation area for minors, and also has spaces where users can learn a trade and thereby receive computer classes to develop a future entrepreneurship, in order to be able to support themselves and have an independent economic income as part of their new life when leaving the Center.
