Abstract

This degree project proposes the design of the new Trade Fair Complex of Loja city, which will be located in Obrapia neighborhood as was established by the Local Government of Loja. The project arises as a response to the problems generated by the implementation of “Benjamín Carrión Theater” in the current site of the complex, for thid reason it has to be relocated to another place and therefore needs a new design. The architectural draft contemplates principles of modulation and bioclimatic strategies that allow the sustainable development of the building, integrated to the environment and that minimize the expense and waste of materials. The equipment is distributed in four clearly established areas: commercial and exhibition area, administrative area, recreational area and cultural area; the same ones that are linked through a pedestrian walkway that crosses the land from South to North. Considering that it is equipment to the city level, an urban analysis is necessary to know the connectivity, demand and influence that the complex will have with respect to the city.
