Renovation As A Partial Solution To Housing Problems In Old Quito, Ecuador, Oswaldo Cesar MiñO

Architecture and Planning ETDs

Quito has no distinct marginal belt, or barrio, section within the city. Rather, there are tugurios (or poor) living throughout the city, with higher concentrations in the historical city center of Quito. This historical center is rich in culture and history, as seen especially in its attractive colonial-style buildings. However, these buildings are being neglected at present and are losing their charm and historical value because they belong to the tugurio.

Architecture and Planning ETDs

The problem treated in this paper is the simple act of one neighbor shading another neighbor's solar energy system.

If solar heating and cooling is to be widely used, legislative bodies will have to address the problems that will arise from serious collector shading in our urban areas. At least three pertinent questions arise from this problem. 1) Does the homeowner have a right to the sunshine that is blocked by his neighbor's building or tree? 2) …
