For this, a historical and theoretical analyses were developed in order to define concepts related do the “Cañari” culture with spaces that the project will support, so that later they could be reflected in their own design. Besides, a study was done about similar cases in which three projects related to the cultural context and a study of flexible and modular architecture were analyzed to determine the different advantages that this type of architecture can provide. Additionally, the place where the project will be located was examined. The result was a synthesis plan that will help to evaluate its current status, explode all its advantages and propose strategies for the project. Finally the design of the Interpretation Center was developed taking into account all the aspects previously mentioned.
