EQUIPAMIENTO URBANO EN EL BARRIO DEL ASTILLERO "TURISMO EN EL GOLFO" CANTÓN GUAYAQUIL, PROVINCIA DEL GUAYAS

Abstract

The present degree project shows the Urban Equipment in the Shipyard Hood (located downtown south of Guayaquil city) integrating with "Tourism in Guayaquil’s Gulf (TG)". The present Project seeks to rescue the identity of a sector that has history and trajectory through the TG project of the National Government. This project was found feasible and viable for its execution because Ecuadorian Navy Shipyards (ASTINAVE) will move to Posorja and plans the use of its land in a Naval Museum. Nearby is Santay Island, a tourist project of great importance to the city. In addition, the Ecuadorian State proposes the construction of the preliminary project called "Jetty of the estuary". This project connects with the Simón Bolívar pier and Santay Island. All these circumstances analyzed the connection of each of these aspects for the development of the project. As a starting point the functionality of the required spaces was studied because they were implemented in place. Reference was made to the analogous Albaola case study for the functionality of the Shipyard. From this arises the concept of the design that is based on the use of the space to be connected with the person, the city and the Guayas River. After the analysis of the spaces built in ASTINAVE to give the new functionality, the connection is created through the circuits of pedestrian and cycle path. This circulation covers the entire sector for the user to walk the entire project and appreciates in each space the identity and history of the Shipyard Hood. The most important thing of the tourist project will be the constructive process of a Shipyard, made by the craftsmen who were in the neighborhood before losing identity. The importance of this project is not only because of the conditions of the site but also because of the history of the Shipyard District because the sector since the beginning of the city of Guayaquil began as an economic source, port and river transport of foreigners and Countries. This was lost in the 1930s due to the lack of attention and investment towards the sector. In addition to the migration of industrialists from the area towards via Daule. Therefore, the urban equipment of the Shipyard Hood seeks to provide a solution to a problem in the Shipyard Neighborhood so as to be able to recover for the history of the city and revive the economy and tourism sector for a profit for the city of Guayaquil and its citizens.
