Del lirismo vernáculo al lenguaje moderno: Arq. Sebastián Arturo Delgado Valdivieso

Abstract

Abstract:This research project aims to analyze the trajectory of the architect, Sebastián Arturo Delgado Valdivieso, his architectural constants and project mechanisms, manager of the technical and constructive urban development of our city and founding partner of the College of Architects of Loja. By documenting the work and biography of the referent and emphasizing the formal, structural and spatial study of his most outstanding works, it will be possible to define the contrast between the vernacular architecture generated at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century and the modern architecture developed in the second half of the twentieth century, product of the economic bonanza that among other things promoted the constructive activity in the country to coincide with the first generation of architects trained in the Faculty of Architecture of the Central University. In this way an important academic contribution is obtained that allows us to understand the society of that time and how its actions are contributing or conditioning in our current development.
