Tendencias de la arquitectura local, en la obra del Arquitecto Cesar Omar Erazo Almeida

Abstract

Abstract: Local architecture is part of the identity of each town, and its authors, the architects, have subtly adapted it to the trends of greater development, mainly modern architecture, creating unique constructions worthy of recognition. However, the low valuation of the built heritage and the lack of management for conservation leads to the development of this research work, which aims to document the life and work of the Architect Cesar Omar Erazo Almeida, in order to obtain a review of the architecture of the city of Loja at the end of the modern era. The research begins with the search and analysis of the main architectural trends of the twentieth century, focused on our context and the influence on the architect. Subsequently, the process of cataloguing the architectural work was developed, highlighting those awarded with the Ornato Prize. To conclude, the selected architectural project is presented, and analyzed under the attributes of the modern form, schematizing its focus on rigor, precision, economy, universality and reversibility.
