Diseño de Anteproyecto arquitectónico de centro de inclusión intergeneracional en la parroquia de Huachi Grande, Ambato

Abstract

The present work develops the "Preliminary architectural design of an intergenerational inclusion center in the Huachi Grande parish, Ambato", conceived as a focal point to promote integration and interaction between older adults and children. The design, beyond addressing the lack of support facilities, is a direct response to the human need for companionship, combatting the segregation suffered by these priority groups. The design methodology applied is a Shared Site strategy based on functional spatial planning, which defines six functional zones: access and administration, early childhood development center (CDI) area, older adult geriatric area, intergenerational gathering space, complementary services, and outdoor spaces.
