Diseño de murales y vitrales identitarios para el fortalecimiento de la presencia de imagen del ecomuseo biblioteca en la comunidad quiteña.

Abstract

In its mission to create a face-to-face and virtual space for the natural sciences, the Ecomuseum Library project of the FIDAL foundation turns to undergraduate students of the Graphic Design Program at the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil with projects that test their ability to solve a problem, which in the case of this document is the location of a mural and stained glass windows that symbolically represent the ecological and technological ideology of the eco-museum library of the city of Quito using the vanishing point technique. Through the qualitative research methodology, the team of students and authors of this project aims to solve this problem by interviewing professional muralists and the study of graphic references according to the environmental theme of the project. Finally, the authors of this project established a strategy with which to get users of the Ecomuseum Library to visit the top floor to observe the stained glass windows and mural; This strategy consists of preparing a gift kit that contains a postcard, blueprints, a t-shirt, and other elements alluding to the mural. In this way the mural stops being a “decorative” object and becomes a memory that everyone can treasure.
