Abstract
Informal human settlements in the Portoviejo Canton - Ecuador, have been a constant problem to be outside the guidelines, regulations and government regulations that preserve the urban planning by improvising their ways of living within an improvised territory of basic services. The objective of this study is to reduce informality by means of an architectural proposal for productive bioclimatic housing, with the aim that the inhabitants obtain a decent and sustainable home in the long term; to use their own ancient construction techniques to reduce housing costs and generate income through urban gardens in the patios of their houses. The descriptive qualitative method using observation and interview with actors will be used to obtain opinions on the adaptation process and participation in the constructive designs of the houses; collecting design strategies that improve living conditions and help preserve the environment.
