Reutilización y nuevo uso para la edificación de la Escuela Simón Bolívar de Celica

Abstract

Abstract: We currently live in a consumer society, which destroys and replaces easily instead of reusing; this causes a large number of buildings to be abandoned. In addition, the crisis that cities are experiencing due to population growth cannot be minimized, causing the loss of green areas, economic resources and infrastructure; in this regard, reuse constitutes a proposal for a sustainable solution, focused on the rescue of any type of space or constructions, giving them life through a new use. The purpose of this work is to study the physical, economic, and social variables that influence reuse and conservation, for later application in the abandoned construction of the former Simón Bolívar school in the Celica canton. The first part focused on theoretical research on architectural reuse; while, in the second part a diagnosis is made at the level of area of influence and equipment applying the RehabiMed methodology; and, the third part will focus on the proposal based on solving the problem of the deficit of spaces that the city and the neighborhood have through reuse and a new use to be given.
