Identificación de las edificaciones correspondientes a la arquitectura moderna en el área comprendida entre las calles: Av. De las Américas, Av. 3 de Noviembre y Luis Pauta, que complemente el inventario realizado por el INPC

Abstract

This research primarily focuses on the study of the Modernist Movement from its beginnings in Europe to its arrival in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. It is equally focused on an understanding of its principles: Economy, Precision, Rigor and Universality proposed by “Le Corbusier”. These same principles were interpreted and incorporated into a documentation and identification file that analyzes 487 building constructions located west of the historical center in the city of Cuenca. This is a highly important area since it has neither been valued nor inventoried by any institution up until today. 38 constructions built between 1955 and 1975 have been documented. These years were part of the Modernist era in the city. Lastly, 5 buildings were identified that comply with the four principles.
