Diseño Arquitectónico de un prototipo de vivienda progresiva para el barrio el Calvario de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: This project proposes the design of a progressive housing prototype for the El Calvario neighborhood, an informal settlement in the city of Loja. It is divided into several chapters that include theoretical research on progressive housing and an analysis of examples from Latin America, which help define the guidelines for the architectural proposal. In parallel, an urban-architectural analysis of the neighborhood is conducted, determining the intervention area and considering aspects such as topography and lot size. Based on this analysis, an architectural design for a progressive housing model is developed. The research and proposal seek to demonstrate that, through the application of progressive architectural guidelines, housing can adapt to socioeconomic changes and topographic conditions, thus improving the quality of life and positively contributing to the image of the neighborhoo.
