| Descrizione: | Housing is a cultural expression because it represents how the inhabitants relate to their territory. Ecuador is a multicultural country where diversity manifests itself in different habitats. The Tsáchilas, also called Colorados, live in Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas. Due to their customs and traditions, the members of this ethnic group hope to be declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. According to the last housing census, Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas is the second sector of the country with a housing deficit. After the earthquake on April 16, 2016, around 70 families in the Tsáchilas communities had their homes affected which is why the academy contributes in designing a social housing prototype with formal and functional criteria of the Tsáchila ethnic group. Many housing surveys, interviews and workshops were made to determine the architectural criteria. The new proposal uses bamboo as the main material which continues in the process of socialization, hoping to be an incremental housing option for the catalog of the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing. |
