Abstract

El presente trabajo sostiene que no hay un solo Centro Histórico de Quito (CHQ), sino múltiples formas de concebirlo y representarlo. Conforme a lo anotado, este artículo plantea analizar al CHQ en el marco de dos distintos enfoques durante la década de 1980. Uno de estos es aquel que propone la exaltación del paradigma arquitectónico monumental que convierte al monumento en una cosa a conservar, en lugar de apreciarlo como un espacio de significados culturales. Y, el otro corresponde a la propuesta de ciudad y centro histórico como diversidad, lo cual implicaba criticar el enfoque arquitectónico que ignoraba los factores sociales, económicos y culturales. Se evidencia como resultado de la investigación que estas dos formas de concebir al CHQ, no solo que abordaron el patrimonio de forma polarizada, sino que además se convirtieron en un escenario desde el cual problematizaron la identidad del Ecuador.
This work maintains that there is not a single Historic Center of Quito (HCQ), but multiple ways of conceiving and representing it. According to the annotated, this article proposes to analyze the HCQ in the context of two different approaches during the 1980s. One of these is the one that proposes the exaltation of the monumental architectural paradigm that makes the monument a thing to be conserved, instead of appreciating it as a space of cultural meanings. And, the other corresponds to the proposal of city and historical center as diversity, which implied criticizing the architectural approach that ignored social, economic and cultural factors. It is evident because of the research that these two ways of conceiving the HCQ, not only that they addressed heritage in a polarized way, but also became a scenario from which they problematized the identity of Ecuador.
