Diseño Interior para el Centro Cultural Ecuatoriano Alemán (CCEA) de Guayaquil 5.

Abstract

The present project of graduation, called Interior Design for the Ecuadorian German Cultural Center (CCEA) of Guayaquil 5, consists in a proposal of interior and exterior redesign of the institution. The facilities of the entity are located at Av. Francisco Boloña 719 and Av. Carlos Julio Plaza Dañín, in the northern sector of the city of Guayaquil. The spaces of the cultural center mainly fulfill educational and cultural functions, such as teaching classes and conducting intercultural events between Ecuador and Germany. In this context, the proposal proposes the redesign of different areas of the building, including green areas, offices, classrooms, auditorium, cafeteria, library and bathrooms. For the development of the project, criteria of ergonomics and functionality were applied, incorporating also strategies of acoustic, lighting and ventilation conditioning, with the aim of improving the spatial quality and user experience. The project methodology was used, supported by qualitative and quantitative tools, such as interviews and technical visits, which allowed to identify the existing problems on site and propose possible design solutions. The results show that the redesign proposal contributes to generating a more functional, inclusive and representative space of the cultural interconnection between Ecuador and Germany.
