INTERVENCIÓN INTERIORISTA Y ANEXO ARQUITECTÓNICO DE LA BIBLIOTECA MUNICIPAL DE GUAYAQUIL

Abstract

The following thesis project consists of a proposal of interior redesign of the current Municipal Library of Guayaquil, as well as the development of a new library for the city that complements the current one. The purpose of this project is to adapt the Municipal Library of Guayaquil with various acoustic and technological systems to improve its performance, as well as to implement universal accessibility through the design of ramps, forklifts and elevators, both inside and outside, always respecting the facade due to being considered Cultural Heritage. In order to know the degree of intervention allowed in the Library, executives of the National Institute of Heritage and Culture, Directorate of Culture and historians of Guayaquil were interviewed. The interior redesign of the current library will allow better internal circulation, which will reduce storage spaces, so it was considered necessary to develop a new building that functions as an annex library, which would be located on the streets Av. Francisco de Orellana and Nahím Isaías Barquet. This building seeks to focus on attracting a younger audience through the implementation of public spaces and parametric facades, as well as several reading rooms, auditoriums, coworking spaces and computer rooms.
