Vivienda rural sostenible bajo el concepto de una comunidad productiva en la comuna Daular.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the urgency of reporting on the difficulties facing the commune of Daular along the Ecuadorian coast due to excessive urban growth. Today, the region is plagued by key deficiencies in infrastructure and services, and an alarming vulnerability to natural disasters - namely, the constant overflow of the river compounded by a lack of leveling systems in low-lying areas. In this context, the study recommends the construction of sustainable rural housing, following the model of a "productive community". The intention is to serve more than a roof: to build a habitat that improves social life, local economy and environmental management. At the heart of the project is the creation of an architectural plan for Daular, one that fits the rural conditions, accommodating principles of development sustainability as well as productivity. For this purpose, a qualitative method based on the project approach has been adopted; it consists of three phases: an in-depth examination of the context, a revision of references for sustainable rural architecture and finally the preliminary project preparation process. The anticipated outcomes are a housing system that not only can adapt, but also provides a quality of life for its inhabitants and a basis for a form of integral community development.
