Abstract
El presente proyecto se encuentra ubicado en la ciudad de Otavalo en la provincia de Imbabura, esta ciudad cuenta con un gran valor cultural y turístico a nivel nacional. Su zona centro es donde se sitúan los equipamientos principales como: sociales, económicos y culturales, en los cuales se desarrollan todas las actividades más importantes del cantón; y no podemos dejar de lado los valores naturales que posee y que lo transforman en una ciudad de gran valor para el Ecuador. La ciudad de Otavalo cuenta con la necesidad de un espacio para la atención de personas vulnerables de la tercera edad que debido a sus condiciones físicas y en algunos casos mentales, requieren de un espacio especializado en el cual se les pueda otorgar una vida diga y de calidad. Es así como se plantea la propuesta de un centro gerontológico para la ciudad de Otavalo que cubra y responda a las necesida des del grupo de la tercera edad, tanto en la zona urbana como rural. La propuesta de un centro geron tológico se la plantea con el objetivo de responder a las necesidades más importantes que necesita el adulto mayor, y de la misma manera dar solución a las principales problemáticas que afectan a este grupo generacional, dentro de estas podemos encontrar problemas como la falta de inclusión social, falta de atención por parte de la familia, un limitado acceso a la salud, entre otros. El centro gerontológico contemplará una arquitectura cuya envolvente espacial se desenvuelva y mar que un hito referencial dentro de la ciudad y se integre en la línea visual del sector. Su funcionalidad responde a la necesidad de servicios especializados para el adulto mayor como: salud, alimentación y residencial, con la finalidad de otorgar un trato digno, igualitario y una mejor calidad de vida. El pro yecto busca una implementación de áreas verdes y recreativas con el fin de que sus usuarios se sientan identificados y puedan tener un sentido de apropiación del lugar facilitando de esta manera su habitabi lidad. De la misma forma, se implementarán estrategias que busquen la integración social del adulto mayor a la ciudadanía, que puedan obtener una participación social mucho más activa en la cual se refleje una cohesión social y un interés por parte de la población en general hacia este grupo generacional. Se busca establecer estrategias para el uso del tiempo libre en actividades que retrasen el surgimiento de las patologías propias de la edad y logren aumentar su capacidad psicomotriz, esto como parte del objetivo de brindar una vida proactiva, digna y de calidad al adulto mayor. Toda la propuesta contempla la conformación de una estrategia de inclusión y habitabilidad para el adulto mayor, desarrollando una propuesta que otorgue un espacio de calidad con todos los servicios necesarios. De la misma manera se busca una concientización de la ciudadanía para que puedan otorgar una participación más activa e inclusiva a este grupo generacional.
This project is located in the city of Otavalo in the province of Imbabura, this city has a great cultural and tourist value at the national level. Its downtown area is where the main facilities are located such as: social, economic and cultural, in which all the most important activities of the canton take place; and we cannot leave aside the natural values that the canton has and that transform it into a city of great value for Ecuador. This city finds itself in need of a space for the care of the elderly who, due to their physical conditions and in some cases mental, require a specialized space in which they can be granted a life, say and of quality. This is how the proposal of a gerontological center for the city of Otavalo that covers the group of the elderly in both urban and rural areas is proposed. The proposal of a gerontological center is proposed with the objective of responding to the most important needs that the elderly person needs, and in the same way to solve the main problems that affect this generational group, within these we can find problems such as the lack of social inclusion, lack of attention from the family, limited access to health, among others. The gerontological center will contemplate an architecture whose spatial envelope unfolds and marks a benchmark within the city and is integrated into the visual line of the sector. Its functionality responds to the need for specialized services for the elderly such as: health, food and residential, in order to grant a dignified and equal treatment and a better quality of life. The project seeks to implement green and recreational areas so that its users feel identified and take ownership of the place, thus facilitating their stay and habitability. In the same way, strategies will be implemented that seek the social integration of the older adult to the citizenship, which can obtain a much more active social participation in which a social cohesion and an interest on the part of the population in general towards this generational group. It seeks to establish strategies for the use of free time in activities that delay the appearance of age specific pathologies and increase their psychomotor capacity, this as part of the objective of providing a good and quality life to the elderly. All these proposals are integrated into the project of the gerontological center in order to meet the needs of the elderly and solve problems that currently exist in the city and that deteriorate the quality of life of the elderly. In the same way, an awareness of citizens is sought so that they can grant a more active and inclusive participation to this generational group.
