Antecedentes, rol y desafío de la digitalización del patrimonio arquitectónico
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10-18) Santana Quintero, Mario
No doubt, the use of digital tools in the documentation of the architectural heritage has revolutionized the way in which historic places are identified, disseminated and virtually valued. However, these new opportunities bring new challenges to guarantee scientific accuracy and the reliability of the information used to document and protect the heritage sites long term and thus to ensure that these records are transmitted and are maintained for future use.
This contribution is not only intended to underline the challenges, but also to offer options, taking into account the notion of efficiency requirements and how to capture and disseminate the knowledge the of heritage goods.
These objectives will be achieved by taking as starting point the needs of the place from a comprehensive and participatory approach, focused on the importance of the information to understand the meaning and integrity. In this sense, it is essential also to evaluate the radius of deterioration caused by disturbances/threats and potential risks to these cultural resources. In relation to cultural heritage, the emphasis of this work is given to historic buildings and archaeological sites.
Mampostería postensada una alternativa constructiva para Ecuador y regiones sísmicas

Guía para la redacción de especificaciones técnicas particulares para obras civiles
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10-18) Rodas Marín, Bolívar
In the construction of civil works will continue to commit mistakes which have resulted in constant loss of family heritage, caused by non-observance of standards and codes that have been hardly tried to implement in daily build. Facing this problem, this article proposes the elaboration of a guide for the drafting of specific technical specifications, that has a structure that allows to speed up the process of formulation of documents, unify criteria, procedures, and integrate all components in an specification easy to use by builders and auditors, even by non-specialists. In this way is intended to expand the current context and to serve as a guide or path to the inclusion of new concepts.
Incorporación de la evaluación de la sostenibilidad en el diagnóstico del sistema de asentamientos poblacionales
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2013-10-18) Salazar Guamán, Ximena Alejandrina
New readings of the territory as well as the existing legal context raises the need for tools that support the development of Development and territorial cantonal ordering plans. In this sense, there is a methodological proposal that orient the elaboration of diagnosis of component "human settlements" and that enables the knowledge of their current situation under a sustainability approach.
The scheme followed to raise the proposal seeks, on the one hand, to maintain a technical and substantiated stringency, and on the other hand, identify those particularities of the territory under study to effectively demonstrate that the use of theoretical models does not have immediate applicability.
