Abstract

This document presents the design of the educational unit with eco-materials to be delivered to the Las Tunas Community. It consists of the presentation and analysis of background, context, site analysis, design criteria, conceptual solutions, typologies, zoning, architectural program, construction system and final result of the design of an Educational Unit for La Comunidad Las Tunas, located in the province of Manabí, specifically solving the problem of the Jaime Roldós Aguilera Educational Unit, which suffered serious damage during the earthquake of April 16, 2016 and which left it in disuse. This educational unit houses 470 students of basic and secondary education, from the 2nd year of basic education to the 3rd year of high school. In the image, a landscape visual of the Community is observed and in the center the ground where the project will be developed with the Educational Unit Jaime Roldós Aguilera, Emergency building built by the Government of Ecuador to house students and not interrupt educational activity. This infrastructure was inaugurated on March 27, 2017 and continues to operate to this day for the educational activities of the institution; however, being an emergency infrastructure, it does not solve or meet the needs of the community. According to information provided by the inhabitants, the useful life of the built pavilions is very little time left to take action and replace it with a definitive and lasting infrastructure that also responds to the landscape context, community’s climate, social and cultural. In this context, the efforts and vision of the Catholic University Santiago de Guayaquil, the Faculty of Architecture and Design, the Ecomaterials Laboratory with its Director Robinson Vega and the Degree Department are combined, to raise the issue in which graduate students present as part of their academic process, alternatives of sustainable design for which could be the new infrastructure that shelters the Educational Unit Jaime Roldós Agulera. The investigative analysis has been prepared over a period of three months, in the course of three trips to the Las Tunas Commune in which a survey of the site, information gathering, outreach to the community and its representatives, as well as parents of the institution, teachers and authorities, in addition to their students; as well as corrections and guides from teachers Robinson Vega and Filiberto Viteri in the classrooms of the Faculty. It will contain the information collected, the analysis carried out and the final result of the design of the educational unit, segmented into three scales which are divided from the following: In the third phase of Small Scale Analysis, it covers the interior and exterior urban profile of the land, its communal regulations and finally the built infrastructure, what is currently in use and built by the Ministry of Education for the operation of the educational unit and in which it will intervene with the proposal of the educational unit and in which it is going to intervene with the proposal of a new educational infrastructure that will be the project of qualification; in the fourth phase it involves the approach of the proposal, which covers the concept, objectives of the project, typologies, criteria and strategies of design, zoning, architectural program and planimetry with game of plans, elevations, architectural and constructive sections, construction details, axonometries and visualizations of the final project.
