Reconstrucción histórica del espacio exterior del Seminario San Luis de la ciudad de Cuenca por medio de la expresión gráfica y digital

Abstract

Restorations, adaptations, changes of use and destruction of heritage buildings in the city of Cuenca reduce the historical memory of its inhabitants, by losing the essence of the spaces and hiding the history that the architecture contains, and consequently, the attachment towards the preservation of heritage assets decreases. Therefore, this research work seeks to recover the historical memory of a heritage asset through the use of graphic and digital expression to reconstruct historical periods of great importance and contribution to the evolution of the building itself, and the city, choosing as a case study a construction of the Historic Center of Cuenca, to carry out its analysis. To support a graphic reconstruction, it is necessary to research as much documentation as possible of the property analyzed, creating a historical study that helps to understand the evolution of the heritage asset and also develop criteria to visually represent the historical moments that collective memory of society. The methodology used allows graphic expression to be used as a communication language, to transmit the values that are contained in the architecture of the building, in a more accessible way to the general public, showing through graphics the descriptions found about this architectural space.
