Rediseño integral de la fundación Pro Labore Dei en Guayaquil I.

Abstract

The approach of this project is based on the intervention of the redesign of the interior and exterior spaces of the Foundation Pro Labore Dei in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The foundation started by promoting its childcare and apprenticeship services. The foundation is currently expanding its social support, welcoming older adults, children, adolescents and pregnant women, providing them with physical and psychological wellness activities in each of its facilities. The main objective of this project was to establish a study on the facilities through the projectual and qualitative method, which allowed information to be gathered through an interview and field visit. This study enabled the establishment of a problematic matrix, mainly showing unattractive and deteriorated buildings, that is, without maintenance, without aesthetics or harmonization of spaces, and presenting problems of movement for persons with reduced mobility. Based on the observation of the establishments, a study of references was carried out using analogues for the resolution of these problems, integrating aesthetic harmonization between the spaces and the functionality of the facilities. Finally, the proposal could be solved by the execution of corresponding plans and 3D modeling, the selection of decorative and ergonomic furniture, developing an interesting, creative and aesthetic proposal. In addition, each space was thought of the usefulness of users, so that they are functional and comfortable. In conclusion, the proposal resulted in a qualified design project for each of the users with welcoming, attractive and functional spaces.
