Description
Summary:The project of the Community Center in El Comité del Pueblo is made to improve the urban conditions of the neighborhood that is located in north part of Quito. Currently the lot is the only land that is made up of 6 blocks and has a direct bearing with the main avenue Jorge Garcés making the lot a hierarchical area. The land is surrounded by highly built blocks with adjacent buildings. The streets and sidewalks are narrow and they form a regular urban grid. The preexistent program has a medical center, court, daycare and a school. What concerned me the most was the lack of green, public and cultural spaces in the neighborhood. El proyecto de fin carrera “Centro Comunitario Comité del Pueblo” pretende mejorar las condiciones urbanas del barrio de el “ Comité del Pueblo” que se encuentra ubicado en el norte de la ciudad de Quito. Actualmente el terreno es el único predio que se compone de 6 manzanas, y goza de una relación directa con la avenida principal Jorge Garcés lo que hace que el mismo sea un espacio jerárquico. El terreno se encuentra rodeado por manzanas altamente construidas con sus edificios adosados. Las calles y andenes son estrechas y conforman una trama urbana muy regular y en cuadricula. El programa preexistente consta de un centro médico, una cancha barrial, una guardería y un colegio. El barrio carece de espacios verdes, públicos y culturales.
