oblivion. This does not include the presentation of artists
and plays as was the custom in previous years.
By notable precedent, theatre spaces in Babahoyo are
part of a few educational institutions. These allow a small
capacity of people, but none of these spaces have opted
for the need to promote the society to know how to help
reduce the environmental impact.
On the other hand, the objective is to immediately
promote the cultural part in order to promote and
inculcate it in our next generations.
" "To walk through the streets of Babahoyo is to breathe
history in every corner, to remember traditions that
endure through time from generation to generation and
to experience art in its maximum expression" (Babahoyo
city council) [3] he environmental impact forces us to be
aware that we must look for alternatives that help to
reduce the environmental impact, the initiative to
rehabilitate what was considered scrap metal and give it
a twist, thanks to creativity, will allow the work
generated by the environment in the city of Babahoyo to
be recognized.
Under these circumstances we are given to know that the
theatres within the city of Babahoyo are really non-
existent, and the recycling of vehicles dumped as scrap
metal is also non-existent. As far as theatres are
concerned, there are few that we have, and few
institutions that have decided to implement these spaces
that, if we name them, these would be; the technical
university of Babahoyo with its auditorium of arts and
conferences Bolivar Lupera; the educational unit
Emigdio Esparza Moreno with its auditorium, but what
we do have in excess are abandoned vehicles not only in
the canchones if not along the streets of the city and even
more disused buses both inside and outside the
institutions that make up Babahoyo.
In the same way, we can see that in these events we
realize that theatres are scarce in our city and even more
so the implementation of the reuse of buses in order to
reduce the environmental impact, not only in our city but
also at the level of our province.
1.3. Basic meanings.
Theatre is one of the oldest cultural and artistic activities
known to mankind. It is one of the performing arts, that
is to say, those that take place on a stage, and consists of
the recreation of one or more stories of different kinds by
means of actors, speeches, music, and scenery.
Environmental sustainability represents a way of living
in balance with our environment and preventing scarcity
that can put humanity at risk, which makes this issue
necessary for every person, organization and government
on the planet.
It is also the one that focuses on preserving biodiversity
without renouncing economic and social progress. The
bases of environmental sustainability are: taking care of
water, saving energy, reducing waste, using recyclable
packaging, limiting, or eliminating the use of plastics,
using sustainable transport, reusing paper, and taking
care of flora and fauna. [4]
1.4. Procedures.
The creation of the theatre starts with the restoration,
adaptation, and location of the buses to obtain a fully
functional space.
These selected buses will be carefully transformed and
placed in the shape of a letter u, in order to obtain an
endowed space that will include, in one part of it, a stage,
which will be equipped with lighting and sound systems.
At the front, seats for the audience, spaces for the cast
and crew.
The interior of the bus behind the stage will be designed
and modified in such a way that it can be adapted
according to the needs of future performances.
The others will be placed on the sides and transformed as
part of the space for the spectators, implementing the
adaptation of platforms on them to obtain a better
coexistence of the public towards the space and the
presentations.
1.5. In detail.
The team of specialized engineers on site will carry out
the planning and adaptation of the existing structures (the
buses). They will be responsible for the rehabilitation of
the buses into a static theatre. By making modifications
to the exterior to create a striking theatrical façade in
accordance with the environment, taking into account the
orientation of the sun and the direction of the winds, a
stage area will be designed for theatrical and other
performances and an area for the public.
Inside one of the buses the dressing room area, technical
area, lights, and illumination will be conditioned with
this design, it is proposed to consider the space to expand
it in such a way that people who are outside the design
area, can observe the presentations.
The design consists of a platform on which the stage will
be mounted, with ecological roofing and on each bus will
be placed covers in order to create protection from the
rain and sun for the comfort of those who use these
structures.
It is required that this space works not only in the
theatrical concept, but also that it is coupled to the
