Revitalización de no-lugares en el Centro Histórico de la ciudad de Cuenca: la vivienda productiva como estrategia de actuación

Abstract

Historic Centers have suffered countless changes due to factors such as the increase of housing in development areas and the change of the original use of buildings, which have caused the loss of vitality of streets, housing, and space. One effect of these actions are residual spaces lacking identity called non-places, which through architectural intervention can be transformed into spaces that provide advantages to the context in which they are located. For this reason, the productive housing model emerges as the key strategy to promote a habitability that combines the shelter provided by a home with the economic benefit that productivity originates. The objective of this study is to project solutions based on the design of an architectural proposal, which changes the conditions from a non-place to a place, so that people, through their appropriation, develop in spaces of economic growth and social integration.
