| dc.description.abstract | The present degree work is a proposal that through design develops a graphic interface that
shows the different Republican Architectural Constructions of the Historic Center of Cuenca,
giving to know more about the city of Cuenca, and giving them a new experience of visit and
tourism. This thesis is divided into three chapters, which cover the analysis, field research,
design and prototyping of the application. A research on the existing republican architectural
buildings in the city of Cuenca is developed, because Cuenca, being a World Heritage City, is
a tourist attraction at national and international level, therefore, it requires to innovate the way
of showing its tourist information, helping the less appreciated buildings to be visited. A
prototype was generated and the graphic interface for mobile devices was designed
considering the needs of the users based on the James Garret methodology, using the five
plans of Jesse James Garret as a basis for the realization of the graphic interface. Finally,
through bibliographic research, Garret's methodology and the knowledge acquired during the
course, a graphic interface was developed that shows the different republican architectural
constructions of the historic center of Cuenca, showing its history, relevant data and a list of
architectural constructions, this will help locals and tourists to have a better tourist experience
in the city of Cuenca. | |
