Repotenciación a nivel de anteproyecto del jardín botánico de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

The preliminary project for the repowering of the Cuenca Botanical Garden seeks to enrich its plant collections through the insertion of non-native tropical vegetation. For this purpose, the design of specialized equipment capable of providing optimal environmental conditions for their development is proposed. Additionally, it is intended to exhibit and study these new species, appealing to the social interest and the dynamization of the space. The process is divided into three stages: bibliographic research, compilation of contextual information and development of the proposal. The first stage establishes a conceptual theoretical basis, as well as design criteria derived from the analysis of architectural references, which support the validity of the proposal. The second, compiles physical and social contextual data, obtained through geographic, climatic, urban-architectural and community analysis, with the objective of generating a solution that satisfies the corresponding demands. Finally, the development of the proposal integrates the findings found in the previous analyses, and conceives an architectural preliminary project that addresses structural, constructive and bioclimatic factors, necessary to ensure an integral and functional design. This fulfilling the main objective of the research and providing an effective solution to the problem posed.
