The Ecuadorian Government, through its Consejo de Gobierno de Galápago , invited The Scarcity and Creativity Studio (SCS) with the aim of providing facilities for Galapagos communities who had not yet benefited from the development of the tourist sector, which is the main source of income of the Galapagos Archipelago. By recognizing that Galapagos is a unique place in this planet, the Galapagos Administration wished to ensure that the facility provided not only met the functional requirements of the local community, but also contributed to the prestige of Galapagos through its artistic merit.
The Galápagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean, 906 km west of continental Ecuador, of which they are a part, with a population of around 25,000. The islands are known for their vast number of endemic species which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle in 1835 and contributed to the inception of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. In 1978 Galapagos was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, signifying its “outstanding value to humanity.” Unlike other oceanic archipelagos, the ecological and evolutionary processes characteristic of Galapagos have been minimally affected by human activities, and the archipelago still retains most of its original, unique biodiversity. The main traditional economic activity of Galapagos was fishing. Since around 1980 tourism has surpassed fishing to become the main industry, employing almost 40% of local residents and contributing 65.4% of the archipelago’s gross domestic product. Despite the estimated annual influx of $150m from tourism into the Galapagos economy, poverty remains a serious problem. Tourism is restricted to a few sites, and consequently benefits some, but not all, of Galapago’s residents. The site for the project was located in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno that has a population of 5000 and is the capital of Galápagos Province. It is located on the southwestern coast of San Cristóbal, the easternmost island in the archipelago.
Since 1998 the Galapagos Scouts Program has been educating local underprivileged children on the importance of creating a sustainable community for their future health and welfare and that of the Galapagos Islands. This education gives them the opportunity to consider careers in the Galapagos National Park, the tourism sector, and the local Navy. The Scouts owned a site in the upper part of Baquerizo Moreno that was earmarked for a building to accommodate their diverse activities. The program for the building consisted of a classroom for 30 people, workshops for craft teaching, a small office, accommodation for 3 visiting teachers, and cooking and toilet facilities. Sustainability is another major concern of the Galapagos Administration so we chose bamboo, which is local and renewable, as the main building material.
To ensure the success of the project SCS staff travelled to Galapagos in April 2016 to agree the procedure and responsibilities for the different parts of the project. SCS staff traveled to Galapagos in April 2016 to meet with the Consejo de Gobierno de Galápagos, Mr Juan Chávez, Director de Producción y Desarrollo Humano, to organise the project and agree on mutual responsibilities and tasks which would ensure the successful completion of the project. Unfortunately the Consejo de Gobierno de Galápagos did not fulfill their part of the agreement and the project for a Scout’s Centre had to be cancelled, as there was not enough time to complete those parts which the Galapagos Administration had commited to doing and to finish the building process.
