PROPUESTA ARQUITECTÓNICA DE UN ALBERGUE TEMPORAL PARA LA INTEGRACIÓN DE INDIGENTES EN SITUACIONES DE CALLA POR CAUSA DEL DESEMPLEO EN EL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE GUAYAQUIL.

Abstract

The present architectural proposal faces a social problem that is increasingly evident in recent years in the Historic Center of the city of Guayaquil. The situation of destitution, or better known as people in street situations, together with the high rates of unemployment and extreme poverty has impacted the lives of many people forcing them to seek refuge in the streets since they do not have the minimum income to cover their basic needs. This turns certain sectors of the center into an area of “risk” for the inhabitants that live near places where they frequent. The set of problems is not only unemployment, we must raise awareness that there are various factors of destitution, such as: vices, psychological problems, family breakdowns, among others. Therefore, the treatment for rehabilitation and reintegration into society varies greatly from individual to individual. Through exploratory research; through surveys and interviews; the problems of people facing the street situation were thoroughly known. Unfortunately, the city has few support centers or shelters to deal with this problem, which makes it ineffective. The present solution proposed by this research is to form a temporary shelter whose stay covers the duration of medium and long-term technical courses, which is offered to people in street situations who meet a specific profile, so that during the course they can house and have all your basic needs. All this in order to conclude the course to go out with a job offer or a venture that reverses its street situation. The proposal has a modulation of semi-private spaces separated by cardboard tube dividers inspired by the designs of the Architect Shigeru Ban, in order to have constant monitoring without invading privacy spaces.
