    La modernidad arquitectónica tapatía: el uso de elementos y recursos de la tradición constructiva
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-06) Rueda Velázquez, Claudia
    When the modern architecture was already established in México’s Capital City, Guadalajara –one of the most prosperous and main provinces of México–, started to introduce itself to this movement. Ignacio Díaz Morales, friend and classmate of Luis Barragán at the School of Engineering, was the one who took upon himself the task of organizing a school that had the ideology of its own model. This architecture had to be local as well as universal, adjusted to the cultural needs and the economic momentum Guadalajara was experiencing. The base was the use of traditional and artisan construction in the code of modernity.

    Desarrollos urbanos paralelos: Leonardo Da Vinci – Étienne Cabet
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-07) Hidalgo García, David; Santiago Zaragoza, Juan Manuel; Arco Díaz, Julián
    Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) personifies the ideal humanist of the universal knowledge. He is also considered to be as one of the Renaissance geniuses and artists. His most known dimension is that of a painter, although to a lesser extent he contributed excellently to the fields of architecture, urban morphology and rehabilitation. His greatest study within the urban studies is his cittá idéale where he exposes his idea of a new city breaking with the traditional urban models. This one presents similarities with that of the utopic city of Icaria, described by the writer Étienne Cabet (1788-1856), in his novel titled Voyage en Icarie and published in Paris in1840. The current article describes the actual resemblances between both proposals, published in different worlds with a difference of 355 years and with only a connection which is the city of Paris.

In Argentina 40% of energy resources are used to meet the buildings demand. The study focuses on higher education understanding its great responsibility on these issues and specifically in the training of architects. Profiles and curricula declared by national public universities in degrees in architecture are discussed, and a general diagnosis is made in relation to the incorporation of sustainability in them. The conclusions state that the inclusion of the subject in the curriculum is still in its initial phase and new sustainability specific concepts are absent in the study plans

    El Paisaje Ecuatoriano. La legislación nacional en contraste con las políticas nacionales e internacionales de paisaje
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-07) Moscoso, Soledad; Wijffels, Anja; Astudillo, Sebastián; Cardoso, Fausto
    The geographic location of Ecuador together with its wide altitude range as well as volcanic activity related to the Andean uplift, has granted it a privileged natural landscape characterized by its high biodiversity and exceptional view-sheds. Ecuador has three World Heritage Sites that are located along the glacial valleys and mountain chains of the Andean Mountain Range, where pronounced slopes and constantly changing land use makes them especially vulnerable to landscape alterations. Ecuadorian landscapes are exclusive testimonies of human interaction with the natural environment, giving way to cultural landscapes with prominent historic value. This paper pretends to make some recommendations to develop policies regarding the protection of Ecuadorian landscapes. The aim is to contribute to the debate by reflecting on the current national policies and regulations regarding Landscape and comparing them with the state of art in the region and the rest of the world.
