Item Estructura ecológica urbana: planeamiento y gestión urbana en la ciudad de México(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Filipe Narciso, CarlaSustainability, green and ecological modernization, is concepts that have acquired great importance in international political discourses and that have figured in programs and policies at the national level. To some extent the explosion of these terms reflects the success of capitalism in a neoliberal space-time domain, becoming a smokescreen to hide the socio-spatial fragmentation of the urban landscape from global discourses that conceal the transformation of natural resources In commodities, the capitalization of nature, the transformation of politics into management and planning into ideology. The text seeks to reflect on the production and reproduction of urban space based on three axes of analysis: in the first, we analyze the postmodern "form" of ecological capitalism and the neoliberal conformation of the new environmental paradigm; In the second one, the ideological and practical bases that define the political legitimacies of urban planning in Mexico City will be identified, and finally the last one will analyze the importance of new planning paradigms through urban networks that can contribute to the union of different territorial systems such as the Urban Ecological Structure.Item Company Towns: arquitectura y paternalismo. De la Compagnie Royale Asturienne des Mines a Cristalería Española(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Tielve García, NataliaCompany Towns, based on the idea that housing welfare for workers is vital for the sake of improving labour efficiency, are exceptionally interesting because they help us understand not only the relation between dwelling and environment, but also the social policies adscribed to industrial paternalism. Different perks, from dwelling to education, to the provision of basic consumer goods, as well as healthcare and leisure, were aimed at creating a new kind of man, a model worker, submissive, rooted, loyal and emotionally attached to his family-like company. For the Spanish case, we can identify two periods: a first, expansive phase, which spanned throughout the 19th century, culminating at the end of World War I; and a second phase which coincided with the industrial development and demographic growth –with the resulting increase of the number of workers– that took place in Spain after the Spanish Civil War. Parting from the Compagnie Royale Asturienne des Mines and finishing with Cristalería Española, in this paper we analyse several architectural complexes of outstanding interest, which were carefully planned according to the aforementioned principles.Item Corporalidad y experiencia como factores de cambio en arquitectura. De los años 60 a 80 siglo XX(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Fuentes Farías, Francisco JavierHistory show us that architecture is eventually engaged to issues outside it’s concern, because architectural space at same time shows physicall and inmaterial faces, as well as it’s formal and social meaning. On this way, built space, or architectural space, is an assumption of shifting on conceptual theories and paradigm, in sciences and humanities, over main categories and conceptions about space, time, and object-subject, but mainly to join both feeling and thinking, emotion and reflection. This papers is an attempt to look at main issues about architectural object to social and symbolic space related, mainly to the subjective experience of meaning and sense of place. At all, cartesian perspective about subject-object split has been carried to a constructivist and complex perspective where architectural object cant’t be studied if we exclude the environment and symbolic sphere.Item La ruina como proyecto. Estrategias en la obra de Sou Fujimoto(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Gallego Fernández, Pedro LuisIn the Romanticism, the representation of the ruin in the landscape served to open the feeling of nature and the need to find the natural beauty of the architecture since the return to origins. In the work of Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, arises again a search of the primitive or as originating in which the concept of "ruin" takes an action potential for the future, which is discovered by the feeling of nature and its interaction with the man to recover the true meaning of inhabiting.Item La producción de pintura en tierra como recurso endógeno en la provincia del Azuay, Ecuador(2018) Amaya Ruiz, Jorge Alberto; Ordóñez Carpio, Santiago; Salazar Silva, Indira Yajaira; Achig Balarezo, María Cecilia; Peñaherrera Palacios, Sandra Catalina; Cardoso Martínez, Fausto AdriánEn el cantón Oña, existe una considerable diversidad de pigmentos minerales, conocidos como “tierras de colores”, con los cuales se puede preparar pinturas de manera artesanal. Esta investigación presenta los resultados de la primera etapa del proyecto “Tierras de Colores” que tiene como objetivo principal contribuir al conocimiento de producción, aplicación y uso de las pinturas de tierra en el Azuay, tanto para la conservación del patrimonio como para su aplicación en arquitectura contemporánea. Para cumplir este objetivo se recogieron los testimonios de personas y constructores que utilizan la tierra en forma empírica para la preparación de pintura artesanal, rescatando materiales y técnicas tradicionales. La identificación de las tonalidades presentes en la arquitectura de Oña y Susudel, se realizó a través de prospecciones en una muestra estratégica, obteniendo una paleta de colores históricos correspondientes a muros de las edificaciones patrimoniales. La investigación propone además, un proceso de emprendimiento territorial que permita tener una incidencia directa en los sectores que históricamente han estado vinculados productivamente con el uso de la tierra y que de manera inherente permita articularse con otras actividades económicas del territorio.Item La acogida humana y las prácticas de accesibilidad en la ciudad patrimonio de Ouro Preto(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Benedini Brusadin, Leandro; Akemi Kumagai, AdrianeOuro Preto obtained the title Humanity's Cultural Heritage for UNESCO in 1980. the present research analyses the Tour Assistance Center (CAT) and the Inconfidência Museum: the first because of being located in the main means of transport of arrival to the city (bus station), where CAT positions receive the visitors; the second for the important representative symbolic mark and the central location at the Square of Tiradentes. The methodology of this research was based on the bibliographical inquiry in books, articles and thesis in the areas of cultural heritage, accessibility and host. Was carried out, still, with photographic registers in situ and analysis of perception in both study objects. The result of this, in spite of the difficulties of these institutions in projects of physical accessibility are built for the imposition of the legislation to preservation of heritage cultural and of the urbane topography itself, some projects was created and articulated to host the resident and the tourist. Meantime, for the bearers of reduced mobility is necessary to create tools of access that go besides the physical forms of the buildings with the intention of providing social inclusion.Item Función habitacional del patrimonio cultural en el centro histórico de San Salvador(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Avendaño Pérez, Ayansi VerónicaUna manera de rehabilitar el patrimonio cultural de los centros históricos que se encuentran en grave estado de deterioro y predominantemente dedicados a la función comercial, es por medio del fomento a la función habitacional, que aporta una connotación social al usual trabajo de la restauración de inmuebles. Este es el caso del Centro Histórico de San Salvador, en el cual se plantea la oportunidad de rescatar el patrimonio cultura singular de lámina troquelada y madera, por medio del impulso de las cooperativas de viviendas por ayuda mutua, para el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de las pocas familias que aún viven en el centro.Item Actualidad del patrimonio en Cuba, reflexiones sobre desarrollo sostenible y conservación preventiva(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Bello Caballero, Luis; Muñoz Castillo, María; Soto Suárez, Milene; Morcate Labrada, FloraRecent changes in Cuba’s economic and social policies foresee implications in local heritage sites. Current challenges determine the need to examine opportunities for sustainable development within the new socioeconomic context. In this regard, scholars analyze the positive and negative effects of today’s circumstances. The analyses exposed in this paper start by noting the links between culture, sustainable development, and preventive conservation (first section). The latest as a new paradigm within the heritage field that articulates the social, economic, and environment pillars. The second section addresses the main issues of Cuban heritage sites; as well as the challenges that both, integral development plans and management plans still have to cope with. Considering the topicality of Cuba’s heritage, the third section exposes possible alternatives that can contribute to sustainable development by referring to actions undertaken in the Academia.Item Centro cívico de Guatemala, patrimonio moderno en peligro(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Fuentes Padilla, SoniaThe Ministry of Culture and Sports in Guatemala is conscious that modern heritage is already susceptible of being recognized, protected and divulged, requested DoCoMoMo Guatemala, to lead the technical committee to do the proposal to declare the Civic Center as National Heritage (2014). Therefore a workshop was organized to achieve the recognition of the Civic Center´s uniqe values and therefore the official recognition as Heritage of our Nation. Unfortunately, two years ago it was revealed that the government threatened against all the initiatives explained above to elevate this Civic Center to become candidate in the UNESCO´s Indicative List by proposing an invasive proposal of about 6 massive buildings in the site where the actual Central Train Station located nearby Civic Center and that is already declared as National Heritage. The management of the Architectural Heritage and its validation should be done by participatory and inclusive actions. A group of professionals and patrimonial managers propose a counterproposal focused on the valorisation and revitalization of the heritage but not to its destruction.Item La crianza de los paisajes vivos como detonante de sus transformaciones. El caso de Cotogchoa(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Montaño Huerta, María Dolores; Armijos Moya, EkaterinaThe lecture will define intercultural landscapes, living landscapes and the way they "breed" contributing to physical, social and attitudinal changes in the rural parish of Cotogchoa. The tasks, searches and conceptualizations are built with actions, research, academic and teaching proposals from the Living Landscapes Laboratory of FADA-PUCE; through processes of participatory design between the academy and the community since 2014. Cotogchoa is a vulnerable rural parish due to the uncontrolled growth of the urban mark of Quito, which has moved an industrial strip to the edges of the latter. This circumstance and the regulations about the size of the lot prioritize the urban situation on the rural characteristics of the area, favoring the densification and urbanization of agricultural land. The proposal is development to contribute to the characterization, valuation and recovery of local identities by reinforcing relationships and links between "living landscapes" rescuing traditions and celebrations, as well as alternative territorial planning in an Andean region with multiple conditions: physical, cultural, ethnic and diverse thoughts. The laboratory through workshops of identity, participative design, consultancies, experiences and celebrations, has investigated the cultural dimension of the parish. This knowledge has empowered its inhabitants on attitudes and awareness in the preservation of their original rural vocation by establishing a space for negotiation in the face of urban overflow. It has evidenced and potentiated affects, relationships and links between living landscapes, exposing an evaluation system based on records that shows the fragility of the territory in front of the transformations of the urbanization process. Critical-perceptual maps and cartographies, community-driven, academic-community projects, creative-educational workshops, exhibitions and events that consolidate the upbringing of living landscapes are highlighted as instruments of mediation and criticism. These spaces of action, dialogues and evaluation have generated in the community attitudes against the urban dynamics of "badly created landscapes" that deteriorate the habitat in rural areas. The actions and approaches between academy-community have awakened the desire to promote and strengthen local affective bonds, to preserve their cultural dimension, to foster spaces of exchange and communication and to investigate in the system of relations of landscapes that safeguard protected areas, conservation and imminent intervention.Item Aportes desde la teoría del actor red para implementar la aproximación del paisaje histórico urbano(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) Urbina, Amparo deThis article presents contributions from the actor-network theory to the recommendation of the Historic Urban Landscape; all this from the understanding of historical centers as urban heritage, where the urban phenomenon transcends the physical dimension of the city. This theoretical review considers the landscape as central and articulating concept; this implies recognizing and strengthening the social component understood from the construction of relationships. The actor-network theory is useful because it shows the relational patterns between actors - human and nonhuman - in order to make them visible.Item Condicionantes bioclimáticos en la arquitectura colonial de Colombia: la casa-patio en Cartagena de Indias y Bogotá(Universidad de Cuenca, 2018-01) López Pérez, Cecilia; Sierra Huerta, David FelipeThe urban housing of colonial times, shows a symbiosis of the Spanish typological model with vernacular materials. They were one-storey dwellings built with earthy materials and an inner courtyard around which the living room, the bedroom area and a multiple space serving as a food, seed, firewood and working tools deposit were available. However, popular architecture is conceived in response to the conditions of its environment. The model of Spanish colonial architecture was conceived, implanting architectural answers with criteria of comfort derived from the European climatological conditions. The present article presents the results of the analysis of the Spanish typologies, implemented in two Colombian cities: Cartagena and Bogotá; With a bioclimatic analysis that allows to determine similarities and differences between the two cities and aspects that can be replicated in the current architecture.
