Abstract
Se aborda el estudio del sector en crecimiento ubicado en el Barrio Pilanquí en la ciudad de Ibarra, bajo parámetros de accesibilidad universal y arquitectura sensorial. El problema planteado encuentra su justificación en la inexistencia de equipamientos y espacio público adecuados y orientados a personas con discapacidad visual. El sector de estudio es pertinente por ser un lugar con varios parques públicos, pero, no bien conectados entre sí, adicionalmente es un sector de nuevos desarrollos y con potencial para incluir en sus predios vacíos los equipamientos necesarios. Pilanquí surge de un desarrollo no planificado de la ciudad con espacios poco inclusivos y confortables para los usuarios que tienen alguna deficiencia o tipo de discapacidad visual, teniendo como resultado la falta de sitios con criterios de accesibilidad universal. El objeto principal de la investigación es establecer el modo en que las experiencias sensoriales de la arquitectura influyen en los espacios y determinan su grado de accesibilidad para el diseño de un equipamiento arquitectónico con el fin de que las personas con discapacidad visual cuenten con un lugar seguro y accesible para potenciar su desenvolvimiento en la sociedad. El trabajo parte del análisis del contexto urbano y arquitectónico para determinar el nivel de accesibilidad del sitio y de confort sensorial. El análisis tiene un enfoque cualitativo, se utilizan instrumentos como entrevistas y fichas de información que concluyen en niveles de autonomía con la consecuente identificación del predio más adecuado para el proyecto arquitectónico. El alcance es el desarrollo de un proyecto que busca aportar a la generación de nuevos espacios inclusivos y confortables para personas con discapacidad visual.
The study of the growing sector located in the Pilanquí neighborhood in the city of Ibarra is approached under parameters of universal accessibility and sensory architecture. The problem posed finds its justification in the lack of adequate equipment and public space oriented to visually impaired people. The sector under study is relevant because it is a place with several public parks, but not well connected among them, additionally it is a sector of new developments and with the potential to include the necessary facilities in its vacant lots. Pilanquí arises from an unplanned development of the city with not very inclusive and comfortable spaces for users who have some kind of visual impairment or disability, resulting in the lack of sites with universal accessibility criteria. The main objective of the research is to establish the way in which the sensory experiences of architecture influence spaces and determine their degree of accessibility for the design of architectural equipment so that visually impaired people have a safe and accessible place to enhance their development in society. The work starts with the analysis of the urban and architectural context to determine the level of accessibility of the site and sensory comfort. The analysis has a mixed approach, using instruments such as interviews and information sheets that conclude in levels of autonomy with the consequent identification of the most suitable site for the architectural project. The scope is the development of a project that seeks to contribute to the generation of new inclusive and comfortable spaces for people with visual impairment.
