Las Exposiciones Universales. Cinco enfoques estructurales
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2018-07-03) López César, Isaac; Estévez Cimadevila, Javier
When, on the occasion of Expo Seville 1992, Frei Otto declared that a World Expo is an opportunity to experiment and show the ways to the future, almost 150 years had gone by since the first World Fair held in London. Over the course of this long period, the World Expos took on a leading role as testing grounds for new structural materials and typologies; moreover, thanks to the fact that the experiences garnered in the World Expos were then applied to buildings that were created beyond them, they have become veritable sources of innovation that have risen to the forefront as an intrinsic component in the history of architectural structural systems. This paper offers a synthetic vision of some of the structural contributions of the World Expos, distilling the scope of an analysis of such a large and fruitful period of structural development into five basic categories: trial and error, fantasy and utopia, typological seeds, the typological set, generation of codes and scientific production.
Fotogrametría digital para el levantamiento 3D del sitio arqueológico de Todos Santos, Cuenca (Ecuador)
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2018-07-03) Aparicio Resco, Pablo; Espinoza Figueroa, Freddy Edgar; Aguirre Ullauri, María del Cisne; Mejía Coronel, Paulina; Matovelle Jara, Cristian
Advances in technology have changed the perspective of the human being on the world; in recent years there has been a rapid increase in technological advances in various fields, conservation and management of cultural heritage have not remained indifferent, three-dimensional digital photogrammetry has broken in its favor, especially in the field of documentation, with possibilities of being used for multiple purposes, involving patrimonial assets such as the case of the archaeological site of Todos Santos in Cuenca (Ecuador), characterized by evidence of three cultures: Cañari, Inca and Española. In this site, a photogrammetric survey was carried out framed in a formative experience that included the process of construction of the 3D model, from the taking of images, to the work in different softwares and the final renderings. The possibilities of this process are versatile, however, complementary as a technical input of knowledge and dissemination to traditional documentation techniques; for cases where its potential contributes to the integral conversation and is adjusted to the availability of existing resources.
Recorta y pega: Los primeros usos del collage y fotomontaje en la representación de la arquitectura moderna
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2018-07-03) Linares García, Fernando
The graphic techniques of collage and photomontage, born within avant-garde art of the 1920s, mainly in Cubism, spread through and permeated all other arts, including architecture. Based on cutting and pasting elements or remnants of diverse materials in new combinations to express novel artistic principles and meanings, these apparently simple techniques offered strong potential for design and conceptualisation. They were widely used by some of the most important figures in Russian Constructivism, the Bauhaus and the Modern Movement, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe.
La tierra como material sostenible de conservación
(Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2018-07-03) Guerrero, Luis Fernando
Earth is a highly durable building material as evidenced by the heritage that has reached our days in remarkable conservation conditions throughout the world. For that reason, its possible application both for the conservation and restoration of properties originally built with soil, as for a wide range of buildings is so important. Earthen construction techniques are fully sustainable from the environmental, economic and socio-cultural perspectives. Soil is an abundant material, easy to use, compatible with most of building systems and it balances the temperature of spaces. In addition, through its correct handling, it is possible to increase or decrease its durability and mechanical and humidity resistance, according to required uses. It can be applied as a sacrificial surface, desiccant, salts eliminator, filling of holes, binder and reinforcement, from proper stabilization and application processes.
