Diseño del mercado parroquial de Chiquintad, Cuenca-Azuay

Abstract

This degree work develops a proposal at the preliminary design level for the market of the rural parish of Chiquintad, proposing an equipment based on modular and flexible principles that promote multiple uses, through which commercial relations are developed correctly and comfortably, all with the possibility of turning the project into a dynamizer of the local economy. The analysis of different national and international case studies is carried out, from which design criteria are obtained and subsequently valued to support the development of the project. Likewise, the environment was analyzed from an urban-parish level to the site of action, which helped to identify possible favorable or unfavorable factors. The equipment uses locally sourced materials and passive strategies to achieve a harmonious relationship with the urban design and its natural surroundings.
