Arquitectura contemporánea objeto de integración dentro de un contexto histórico patrimonial en el centro de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The preservation of architectural contexts with heavy heritage value is a modern obvious necessity; that is the reason why it s important not to fall into false historical records. They might offer erroneous information about Loja city s traditional architecture. Integrating new (architecture) within historical heritage contexts in the downtown area represents a great opportunity for the development of analytical actions to create coexistence between the old and the new and in addition, adapt historical buildings to the already existing urban image; based on current architectural solutions. This research paper offers a contemporary architectural proposal that integrates both sides in a harmonious way by creating a sense of coherence between the selected area and what we know as Loja s Historic Center.
