Diseño arquitectónico del Centro Cultural Ecuatoriano Alemán en Guayaquil.

Abstract

This degree project develops a proposal for Architectural Design of the Centro Cultural Ecuatoriano Alemán (CCEA), whose fundamental objective is the integration of various cultural and educational disciplines in a functional, dynamic and representative space. For its formulation, an in-depth investigation and a critical analysis of the current state of the infrastructure was carried out, assessing both the physical conditi - ties of the building and its immediate environment, as well as social, cultural and operational factors tion of the European Union. The diagnostic carried out identified a number of deficiencies in terms of internal mobility, spatial flexibility, functional adequacy and articulation with the urban context. In response to these problems, the project presents an architectural proposal that prioritizes spatial continuity, adaptability of productive areas and full integration with the urban fabric, Seeking to optimize the user experience and strengthen institutional identity. A design approach is established which promotes the multi - functionality of spaces, allowing their transformation and adaptation to the changing needs of cultural and educational activities. The proposal seeks to consolidate the CCEA as a cultural reference, capable of attracting new audiences and consolidating its role as an active bridge for exchange and bilateral cooperation between Ecuador and Germany. In short, this project contributed to the revitalization of existing infrastructure and proposed a sustainable model of contemporary cultural centre, aligned with new social and educational dynamics.
