Centro Comunitario para niños y adolescentes, como proyecto de transformación social en Nueva Prosperina

Abstract

This thesis project develops a proposal for a community center focused on children and adolescents in Nueva Prosperina sector in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The project aims to mitigate the violence currently present in the area by strengthening the social network that this type of infrastructure can create within the community. The exploration of concepts such as social transformation, third spaces, and sensory architecture allowed for the establishment of both functional and formal design criteria. Direct input from future users was obtained through interviews and a participatory design workshop, which helped determine the activities the center will offer. The proposal, based on the information gathered, creates a new space that seeks to positively integrate into this community, promoting social cohesion and the comprehensive development of its residents.
