Vacíos urbanos +Alta densidad +Intensidad de usos = ciudad compacta. Caso de estudio: Casco Céntrico, área de primer orden de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the urban voids in the consolidated area of the city of Loja and to densify the Santo Domingo neighborhood by applying methodologies such as the system of urban densification indicators, including land use intensity. The objective is to establish the relationship between the occupied space, the natural environment and the habitability of the resulting urban environment, within an urban-architectural design proposal as a solution to the generalization of densification programs. The preliminary project is condensed, incorporating a comprehensive understanding and evaluation of the case study. The results obtained are presented for comparison, concluding with a brief explanation of the observed phenomenon and the subsequent approach to potential solutions, which forms the basis of the design proposal. The result of this research is a proposal for high-density housing indicators and urban densification for the Santo Domingo neighborhood, developed through an analysis of the sector from the physical-environmental and urban-architectural perspectives, with the objective of giving the historic center of Loja a more compact urban character.
