Propuesta de rediseño espacial integral de una casa de arquitectura vernácula de propiedad del señor Geordano Pesantez ubicada en el sector San José de la parroquia Chiquintad, del cantón Cuenca

Abstract

This thesis Project is an interior and espacial design proposal to intervene a vernacular architecture house belonging to Geordano Pesántez, which is located in San José, Chiquintad Parish in Cuenca. This idea meets the need to keep its original design and make it a living space. Once this goal is reached, it will be possible to avoid imminent destruction, as it has happened with other houses with similar features. In order to carry out this project, our goal is to respect its surroundings and the architectural features of the place where it is located. The materials to be used in the intervention will also be suitable for that effect. This project is also a deep research on similar dwellings, an investigation on vernacular constructions, and the analysis of the current situation of Geordano Pesántez´s house. Responding to the expectations of the future dwellers of this house, one fragment of the book Don Quijote de la Mancha has been profoundly read to recall the general concept of the architecture of that time. Along with the blueprints, renders, constructional details and an estimate budget will be given
