    Influencia del suelo natural inclinado, en la forma de la vivienda vernácula en Azuay
    (2018-07-05) Jara Espinoza, Pablo Sebastián; Espinoza Carvajal, Kenny Joel
    Vernacular architecture has an undoubted aesthetic quality, the form seems to be the result of a successful relationship between architecture and nature. Like the forms of nature, vernacular architecture adopts a morphology result of adaptation to constant natural factors. The identity of this architecture is found in the forms generated by traditional ancestral constructive processes. It is evident that vernacular architecture lacks ornaments, it is not an architecture conceived to be seen, on the contrary, it is conceived to adapt to the landscape from inside. Consider the place as the main factor when making decisions of spatial order, possibly bring us closer to understand this architecture, to recover the knowledge it contains to apply them in contemporary society. This research analyzes the incidence of relief (inclined natural floor), in the form of vernacular housing, in the South of the Ecuadorian Andes. It aims to identify, in which way two of the particularities of place generated by the inclination of the ground: extensive visuals and limited sunlight, affect the construction of the empty elements in the architectural form. As well as, how the contact of the building with the inclined floor defines the structural strategy of the project. Analyzed formal responses help to understand grafhically the incidence of the relief in the form. Generating in this way a theoretical and graphic framework of the spatial relationship between the natural environment and the vernacular architecture
