Summary

The main issue addressed in this work is to integrate the sport and the culture of guanacaste, in the same place, by means of a proposed architectural-level blueprint to generate spaces where you can perform different activities in both sports, civic, and folk that will appeal to different social groups to the project, looking at the same time the rescue of the history, symbols, customs and traditions which gives us the culture guanacasteca. In addition, the proposal seeks to integrate the various activities, to the fair of the farmer, not only as a space better conditioning for the sale of agricultural products, but also as an element driver of the regional culture.

Summary

The University of Costa Rica for more than half a century has provided a contribution to the enormous social to this country, in all the fields that can be mentioned, and has been growing step by step with time and with the contribution of all, his relationship with the various state institutions has been indispensable to the realization of many projects of common good. Currently the University City attracts a large number of services, which includes the transportation of students, a situation which is linked to the increase in the vehicle fleet has generated a saturation and great chaos road in the sector of San Pedro and the surrounding areas to this. The development of this project is not only based on the need of the community of San Pedro and the university city of the solution of the great chaos road that leads in its surroundings due to the large number of buses entering this sector, but also in the general need of the city to improve their image, it seeks to give an order to the system of transportation of students from UCR to make it more efficient. As the culmination of this research raises an urban intervention by the design of an intermodal station university that contributes to the management of road in the area of San pedro and university city, as well as to improve the urban image of the sector north of 3rd street “Calle de la Amargura”, serving as a starting point in the formulation of solutions to the general problem of transport in the city.

Summary

The development of the prototype school unidocente to Costa Rica involves the study and analysis of the theoretical elements of educational spaces, strategies, passive climate comfort, and language use patterns as a way to address the final design. Through the theory are determined by characteristics of the learning spaces and how these should be formed both in terms of student learning, such as in support of the teacher and the teaching methodology that this choose to use, without that space is a constraint to be able to apply it. In the same way the strategies passive climate comfort are applied to achieve a pleasant environment even under different weather conditions, both heat and cold, thus mitigating the most of their effects, so that they can positively influence the learning process. With the use of strategies passive avoids the use of mechanical systems, which, among other benefits, reduces the power consumption in this type of schools under budget, and serving as an example of how to use the available natural resources in a design more user-friendly with the environment. Through the language of patterns deals with the design of the prototype, establishing different patterns that each element of the school must meet in order to support the learning of children. It also takes account of the need for a modular design, able to adapt to different circumstances of various sites across the country. Finally, the prototype completed is implemented in three sites with different climates, with the aim of seeing his ability to adapt to the circumstances, not only climatic but also of the requirements of local regulations and national, size and shape of lots of schools unidocentes existing vernacular architecture, among other aspects.
