Abstract
La propuesta arquitectónica contempla crear un centro hidroterapéutico para la renovación del cuerpo
y el espíritu, por medio de la recuperación de dos fuentes de agua importantes de Otavalo y varios
espacios significativos para la ciudad, conformado por el área donde se encuentran las vertientes
termales de Yanayaku, el edificio de la Antigua Facultad de Agronomía de Otavalo y las pequeñas piscinas
de agua mineral Las Lagartijas. La finalidad es plantear una propuesta que solucione los problemas de
cada uno de estos sitios de manera integral.
La purificación, como un ritual andino del contexto, se reinterpreta en un espacio propicio para el
bienestar del cuerpo y el espíritu a través del recorrido entre espacios donde el agua de las vertientes de
Yanayaku y las Lagartijas son el elemento protagonista para la renovación. Por medio de un conjunto
de escenarios de encuentro que se distribuyen de forma coherente; los espacios se sitúan en base a
ejes ordenadores de la cosmovisión andina y contemplan la presencia de los cuatro elementos de la
naturaleza: agua, fuego, aire y tierra, de manera que la composición arquitectónica permita conectar
la naturaleza y la cultura.
La propuesta se conforma de cuatros etapas; en el encuentro inicial no existen distractores, aparecen
los muros que crean un escenario de encuentro íntimo con el agua; la segunda, donde el usuario sigue
conectado con el agua, pero ahora es también posible percibir el entorno, se van abriendo las cortinas
muros; la tercera etapa, es totalmente distinta a las anteriores, desaparecen los muros y el proceso
de renovación se completa en el punto más alto del proyecto, al que se llega atravesando un bosque
natural propio del terreno. Finalmente, la última etapa (misma que se desarrolla a nivel de anteproyecto):
la Pachamanca olla de tierra, se trata de un restaurante donde los alimentos se preparan dentro de
la tierra (propio de la cultura ancestral). Siguiendo con el concepto de toda la propuesta se disponen
distintos escenarios que crean ambientes diferentes dando el sentido de misterio a cada espacio.
El agua, la naturaleza y la arquitectura crean espacios de bienestar…
The architectural proposal contemplates the creation of a hydrotherapeutic center for the renewal of the body and spirit, through the recovery of two important water sources of Otavalo and several significant spaces for the city, formed by the area where the thermal springs of Yanayaku” are located, the building of the Antigua Facultad de Agronomía de Otavalo” and the small pools of mineral water Las Lagartijas”. The purpose is to propose a proposal that solves the problems of each of these sites in an integral manner. Purification, as an Andean ritual of the context, is reinterpreted in a space conducive to the well-being of the body and spirit through the route between spaces where the water of the Yanayaku springs and Las Lagartijas are the protagonist element for the renovation. Through a set of encounter scenarios that are distributed in a coherent manner; The spaces are located on the basis of computer axes of the Andean Worldview and contemplate the presence of the four elements of nature: water, fire, air and land, so that the architectural composition allows to connect nature and culture. The proposal consists of four stages; In the initial encounter there are no distractors, the walls” appear that create a scenario of intimate encounter with water; the second, where the user is still connected to the water, but now it is also possible to perceive the environment, the curtains walls” are opened; The third stage is completely different from the previous ones, the walls disappear and the renovation process is completed at the highest point of the project, which is reached through a natural forest of the land. Finally, the last stage (same that develops at the level of preliminary project): Pachamanca” (olla de tierra), it is a restaurant where the food is prepared inside the land (typical of the ancestral culture). Following the concept of the whole proposal, different scenarios are created that create different environments giving the sense of mystery to each space.
