Diseño de un modelo de vivienda con accesibilidad universal para personas con discapacidad física para la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

In this paper, the concepts of disability are known and studied and the most important regulations are determined at the international, national and local levels. During the investigation, 11 houses were analyzed in the City of Cuenca, of which 2 are patrimonial dwellings that are located in the Historic Center, 2 apartments located in the Ejido and 7 modern single-family homes located in different areas of the city. The study is focused on how the different spaces within the home are developed and determine if the spaces are suitable for a person with a temporary or permanent physical disability. The objective is to generate an accessible and functional housing model, which improves the habitability conditions and thus determine the necessary criteria for the design.
