Sumario:The colonial period in the city of Cuenca (Ecuador) left indelible traces in the city, as well as diverse cultural and architectural transformations that are of particular interest. This article presents the analysis and intervention proposal on a colonial building of the historic center, based on the mural stratigraphic reading and the pathological opinion. From these inputs, the following are evidenced: three constructive stages of the property between 1816 and 2017; the predominance of mechanical, physical and anthropic injuries as constants of the detriment of the historical urban landscape of the city, and the demand for emerging and conservative interventions. Consequently, specific constructive interventions are designed under the conventional theoretical orientation (Spanish and Italian), and the practice associated with local constructive knowledge. At the same time, there is a commitment to the recovery of heritage, from the perspective of adaptation to contemporaneity without neglecting technical rigor.
