¿Conservación o Pérdida? El patrimonio arquitectónico del centro histórico de Loja 1983-2023

Abstract

Abstract: This research focuses on addressing the problem of conservation architecture in the historic center of the city of Loja, which has been affected by the urban growth. This phenomenon has generated risks for the architectural integrity of the sector. In order to resolve this situation, the research proposes to carry out a updating inventory of homes located within the first order section of the city. The primary purpose of updating inventory is to provide a baseline solid data base that serves as a foundation for the design and implementation of architectural and urban guidelines. These guidelines have as their main objective support the conservation of the historic center. Its development will be based on the consideration of international and local regulations. This guidelines plan not only seeks to preserve architectural wealth, but also promote sustainable urban development that respects the history of the city.
