Diseño Arquitectónico de un santuario natural que sirva como albergue para las especies en riesgo en la provincia del Guayas.

Abstract

Ecuador as a country has the privilege of being a mega diverse country with a unique and privileged flora and fauna worldwide. The ecosystems that exist within this region contain extraordinary biodiversity. However, this has been threatened due to the intervention of the human being in search of raw materials that can be exploited and in the proliferating illegal market of exotic animals. This intervention towards nature causes great damage to the fauna of our country. Despite this, the competent authorities have not been able to solve this problem. The work project that arises in this thesis project has as its main focus, to offer an open and safe space for these species that are in a state of vulnerability, that have been extracted from their natural habitat and that are in danger of extinction. . This space embraces the concept of sanctuary and proposes to be a place where species can have free movement and adequate habitability within an environment contemplated specifically for them. Also taking into account the aspects, both biological, social, political and economic. In the same way, it is contemplated to give an approach towards economic and geographical feasibility. In this sense, it is proposed to give priority to the space available for the species, giving it an ideal space, similar to the one they previously inhabited. To analyze all these aspects, experts in the area of biology must be analyzed, who through their knowledge can establish the guidelines regarding functionality and spaces for the correct conception of this sanctuary. The financial aspect is considered through a fund to build said work, and another to preserve it. The initial construction amount is proposed to be financed through the national government and the GAD. For its execution, it is considered to carry out a survey of society analyzing public opinion and social support to execute this work. For its preservation, it is proposed to maintain this sanctuary as a tourist attraction that attracts both local and foreign visitors, with the aim of projecting Guayaquil towards this market.
