CENTRO DE MANUFACTURA MADERERA EN LA PARROQUIA RURAL DE ATAHUALPA

Abstract

Atahualpa, Santa Elena. The community site in question is working under threats, health and environmental development. First, the working population is dedicated mainly to the manufacture of furniture and wood crafts, because it has been a sector virtually abandoned due to its location, growth prospects are nil, to the extent that the raw material, the Guayacán, which they used for generations, became extinct and has made it almost impossible to continue their work activity. Due to this fact the overall income of the Atahualpa has been seriously devalued, becoming very difficult to develop as a community. There is a health factor that will be the impetus to start the architectural program in question. The fact that there is no public and safe space where different woodwork are made, has become a threat to the community loggers and their families. Because of the substances used for woodworking and waste thereof, there is a development of cardiovascular and respiratory problems. With these mentioned background, the main idea to be develop is a complete architectural project to house the wood craftsmen organized and safely. The Wood Manufacturing Center will provide necessary equipment and storage of raw materials, thus achieving economic recovery. To support the project, there is a reforestation program which will provide directly to the people, if it is successful, this initiative will extent. On the other hand, the problem of population health will decrease
