Actualmente, en la sociedad del conocimiento, la calidad de la educación superior está íntimamente asociada con la práctica de la investigación, práctica que se manifiesta de dos maneras: enseñar a investigar y hacer investigación. En este contexto, la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Cuenca, en Ecuador, tras varias experiencias en proyectos de investigación de forma individual o grupal, ha considerado que es momento de consolidar un espacio académico que tiene como finalidad la producción y difusión de conocimiento, y que a su vez promueva una comprensión reflexiva y una crítica fundamentada de la sociedad y de la realidad en general.
Desarrollos urbanos paralelos: Leonardo Da Vinci – Étienne Cabet
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-06-01) 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.

La modernidad arquitectónica tapatía: el uso de elementos y recursos de la tradición constructiva
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-06-01) 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.
Arquitectura histórica y Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial: una simbiosis necesaria. Las zonas de Patrimonio Cultural de Mérida, estado de Yucatán-México
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-06-01) Rivero Canto, Raúl
The objective of the article is to explain and analyze the necessary symbiotic relationship between the conservation of historic architecture and preservation of intangible cultural heritage. The case study selected for this research is the set of zones of cultural heritage of the city of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. The paper includes the theoretical, historical and regulatory frameworks that highlight the characteristics of intangible cultural heritage, the development of the city and the laws and regulations in historic architecture. An important aspect is the identification of popular catholic piety as representative cultural manifestation of the studied areas. The article analyzes each of the areas of cultural heritage to show how historic architecture favors traditions survive while the intangible manifestations strengthen the conservation of buildings in which they occur.
