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. La época colonial en la ciudad de Cuenca (Ecuador) dejó huellas indelebles en la urbe, así como diversas transformaciones culturales y arquitectónicas que son objeto de particular interés. El presente artículo expone el análisis y propuesta de intervención sobre una edificación colonial del centro histórico, con base en la lectura estratigráfica muraria y el dictamen patológico. A partir de estos insumos se evidencian: tres etapas constructivas del bien entre 1816 y el 2017, el predominio de lesiones mecánicas, físicas y antrópicas como constantes del detrimento del paisaje urbano histórico de la ciudad, y demanda de intervenciones emergentes y conservativas. En consecuencia, se diseñan intervenciones constructivas específicas bajo la orientación teórica de corte convencional (español e italiano), y la práctica asociada al conocimiento constructivo local. Al tiempo, se apuesta por la recuperación del patrimonio, bajo la perspectiva de adaptación a la contemporaneidad sin descuidar la rigurosidad técnica.
