Abstract

The enquinche is one of the oldest construction systems and is still in force in several rural and urban regions of the province of Manabí. The system is based on prefabricated panels woven from Guadua rattan, covered or plastered with clay or similar materials. In this sense, the importance of improving the quality of life in rural communities has been reflected, which has become a clear objective, given that in general terms the quality of the products provided by the national plan is limited and cannot meet the needs of the population. Based on a survey aimed at developing a comprehensive approach to the use of enquinche as an alternative cladding material in the construction of low-income housing, this article first presents the housing approach implemented in the country. Then, it explains the definition of the conceptual framework and the recommendations of ancestral construction methods, and based on the analysis of the research results, transform them into design recommendations and improved regulations.

Keywords: Enquinche, social interest, wall cladding.
